Method of obtaining nanocellulose fibers used in textiles, cosmetic products and thermal paper, involves selecting raw material rich in cellulose in feedstock and extracting fibers from feedstock by using immersion in water
NOVELTY – Obtaining nanocellulose fibers involves selecting a raw material rich in cellulose in an feedstock and extracting fibers from the feedstock by using immersion in water. The fiber is cleaned by using a solution. The solution comprises a saponification agent, a nonionic detergent, hydrogen peroxide and sodium metasilicate. The materials are heated at 80 degrees C for 15 minutes and the fiber is whashed with warm water and then with cold water. The treated fiber is neutralized by an acidic solution of 1% acetic acid, and then enzymatic hydrolysis and sonication are performed. USE – Method of obtaining nanocellulose fibers used in textiles, cosmetic products, thermal paper and filter for capturing viruses and bacteria (claimed). ADVANTAGE – The method enables to obtain nanocellulose fibers having high-strength.
