PROCESS FOR CONVERSION OF CELLULOSE RECYCLING OR WASTE MATERIAL TO ETHANOL, NANOCELLULOSE AND BIOSORBENT MATERIAL

摘要

Low dose/short duration ozone treatment of cellulosic biomass waste, such as from the paper, cardboard and cotton fabric and textile recycling and waste or from agricultural waste, is used in a process for producing ethanol, optionally including using a solid remnant byproduct of the process as a biosorbent to treat wastewater, according to the present invention or in a process for producing nanocellulose according to the present invention.
