Nanocrystaline cellulose (CNC) is a nanomaterial with several applications, from the construction to the pharmaceutical sectors, and many others at developing potential applications. Currently, the process of CNC production involves the hydrolysis of cellulosic pulp (derived mainly from the kraft pulping, followed by the bleaching process) with concentrated sulfuric acid (approximately 65…
Cellulose can be enzymatically converted to glucose. However, the lignocellulosic cell wall is recalcitrant, so that to reach satisfactory hydrolysis levels, chemical and physical pretreatments are required. Even with the development of many pretreatment technologies in the last decades, the cellulose digestion is hardly complete. A possible explanation is the presence of the residual lig…
