PROCESS FOR OBTAINING NANOCRISTALINE CELLULOSE USING ACID HYDROLYSIS AND OBTAINED NANOCRISTALINE CELLULOSE

摘要

process for obtaining nanocrystalline cellulose using acid hydrolysis and obtained nanocrystalline cellulose. the present invention relates to a process for obtaining cellulose whiskers from vegetable pulp. the process obtains cellulose nanocrystals (whiskers) from acid hydrolysis, preferably using hydrochloric acid in pinus taeda pulp that has long fibers. the process makes use of dilute acid and short reaction times.
