Today’s methods for producing powdered celluloses, in particular microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), from various plant raw materials, while applying new highly efficient methods for the isolation of cellulose are of a great interest. One of these methods is the production of MCC from lignocellulosic material activated by steam explosion treatment. The material obtained by this method from wood has a high reactivity, low content of residual lignin, a high specific surface, which allows to subject it successfully and efficiently to accelerated delignification or hydrolytic breakdown (degradation). This ability of the lignocellulosic material, activated by steam explosion, is the basis of this study, which provides the results of an experimental evaluation of the component and dispersion analysis of MCC, obtained from this material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
