Abstract

The thermal oxidative degradation of cellulose, and of cellulose ammonium phosphate and its metal complexes products were studied by thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The temperature of decomposition was lower for metal complexes of cellulose ammonium phosphate than those samples untreated by metal ions and the values of char yield were greater for treated cellulose than those untreated. This indicates the metal ions can catalyze the reaction of degradation and form more char.
