New Approach for Single-Step Extraction of Carboxylated Cellulose Nanocrystals for Their Use As Adsorbents and Flocculants
Abstract
A simple approach was developed to isolate cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with carboxylic groups from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The effect of reaction time on the morphology, microstructure, and thermal stability of isolated CNCs was investigated. The rod-like CNCs with size of 200–250 nm in length and about 15–20 nm in width were obtained by one-step citric/hydrochloric acid (C 6 H 8 O 7 /HCl) hydrolysis of MCC. The CNCs extracted at 4 h showed the highest carboxylic group content which led to a high absolute zeta potential value up to 46.63 mV. Moreover, these CNCs may be used as cationic dye adsorbent (methylene blue) and efficient flocculants with excellent coagulation–flocculation capability to kaolin suspension with a turbidity removal of 99.5%.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
