PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE (MCC)

Cotton linters were hydrolyzed with different concentrations of HCl (2.5-15%) to prepare microcrystalline cellulose. Infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis were used to follow the effect of hydrolysis on the molecular structure of the produced microcrystalline cellulose. The loss in weight and t...
