IPC Classification: C08B16/00, B82Y40/00, C08L1/02, C08B15/02, B82Y30/00, B01D61/44, B65D65/46
Abstract:
The present invention provides a continuous mechano-chemical synchronization process designed to enhance the yield of acid hydrolysis of cellulose, specifically  targeting the production of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). The process employs a two-stage controlled acid hydrolysis of Micro Crystalline Cellulose (MCC),  utilizing a uniquely tailored reactor configuration to control morphology and optimize process efficiency. Additionally, it outlines advanced downstream operations for  product neutralization and purification through tubular centrifuge and nano-pores membranes. The present invention also explores the potential for resource recovery  for sustainability approach in this extraction process and demonstrates applications on biodegradable packaging, reinforced plastics and as absorbent materials for  hygiene products.
