Effect of Mild Acid Hydrolysis Parameters on Properties of Microcrystalline Cellulose

The effects of mild kraft pulp hydrolysis conditions (reaction time, temperature, pulp consistency, and acid dosage) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) on the properties of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were investigated. The degree of polymerization (DP) of cellulose rapidly decreased at the initiation...
