Production Of Cellulose Acetate : Effect Of Pretreatments And Acetylation Conditions On Recycled Paper Dust

In this study, cellulose acetate was produced from recycled paper dust of carton box (CPD) and tissue paper (TPD) with the aim to extract value from the waste stream and also to maximize and diversify the utilization of recycled cellulose. The quality of the resultant cellulose acetate was compared...

The chemical properties of both pretreated pulps show a better approach to acetylation grade pulp; thus, there is an increment in DS, the degree of crystallinity and the maximum degradation temperature when compared to CPD CA.
