NanoCrystalline Cellulose isolated from oil palm empty fruit bunch and its potential in cadmium metal removal

NanoCrystalline Cellulose isolated from oil palm empty fruit bunch and its potential in cadmium metal removal

NanoCrystalline Cellulose (NCC) was isolated via ultrasonic cavitation assisted acid hydrolysis method. Characterization was done using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) together with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) imaging to double prove the existence of NCC. DLS measures length of 236.6 nm with w...
