Multi-step pretreatment as an eco-efficient pretreatment method for the production of cellulose nanofiber from oil palm empty fruit bunch

Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) characteristics could be influenced by the pretreatment process during cellulose isolation, and generally pretreatment is conducted using harsh, less eco-efficiency chemical pretreatment. In this study, multi-step pretreatment method was evaluated for its eco-efficiency and...

description Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) characteristics could be influenced by the pretreatment process during cellulose isolation, and generally pretreatment is conducted using harsh, less eco-efficiency chemical pretreatment.
