Facile extraction of thermally stable cellulose nanocrystals with a high yield of 93% through hydrochloric acid hydrolysis under hydrothermal conditions

Abstract

A facile approach for extracting cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) was presented through hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of cellulose raw materials under hydrothermal conditions. The influences of preparation parameters, such as reaction time, reaction temperature, and acid-to-cellulose raw material ratio, and different neutralization methods on the yield, microstructure and properties were studied. A high yield of up to 93.7%, crystallinity of 88.6%, and a maximum degradation temperature (Tmax) of 363.9 °C can be achieved by combining hydrochloric acid hydrolysis under hydrothermal conditions and neutralization with ammonia, compared with only 30.2%, 84.3% and 253.2 °C for sulfuric acid hydrolysis, respectively. More importantly, good stability of aqueous CNC suspensions can also be obtained due to the existence of ammonium groups, which can easily be removed through simple heat treatment before using the CNCs.

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.
