Catalytic Isolation and Physicochemical Properties of Nanocrystalline Cellulose (NCC) using HCl-FeCl3 System Combined with Ultrasonication

This research emphasizes the isolation of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) from palm tree cellulose (PTC) and α-cellulose (AC), using acidic FeCl3-assisted catalytic pretreatment coupled with ultrasonication. The cavitation effect of ultrasonication affects the microstructure of the fibers, ultimatel...
