  • METHODS OF MAKING SPECIALIZED CELLULOSE AND OTHER PRODUCTS FROM BIOMASS
    Publication number: 20210285155
    Abstract: Provided is microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) from cellulosic or lignocellulosic biomass produced efficiently and quickly through cost-effective methods and systems. The MCC is comprised of short fibers due to the process through which the biomass is subjected. In addition to MCC, nanocellulose (CNF), and high quality crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) can be produced, as well as other cellulosic compounds, clean lignin and monomeric C5 and C6 sugars.
