Extraction of Nanofibrillated Cellulose from Water Hyacinth Using a High Speed Homogenizer

Extraction of Nanofibrillated Cellulose from Water Hyacinth Using a High Speed Homogenizer

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crasspies) was used as a renewable cellulose source to prepare nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC). Due to the porous structure and low lignin content of water hyacinth, a 10 min-treatment time using the high-speed homogenization was sufficient to disintegrate nanofibers. The...
