Abstract

We have developed a thermocatalytic method for obtaining “Thermocell” microcrystalline cellulose. Our method is simpler than the conventional acid hydrolysis method and allows us to use less concentrated acids at lower temperatures. The microcrystalline cellulose Thermocell has homogeneous granulation and consists of spherical particles, 90% of which have a diameter of 20–50 mm. Depending on the area of application and the required chemical purity, Thermocell can be obtained from bleached or unbleached wood pulp and also wastes of the paper and pulp industry, such as newsprint waste.
