PRODUCTION OF NANOCELLULOSE AND CARBON BLACK FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS

摘要

Disclosed herein are integrated processes for preparing useful materials from renewable biomass feedstocks. The materials include nanocellulose and bio-based carbon black. The processes are characterized by low energy input requirements. The nanocellulose and bio-based carbon black produced according to the disclosed processes have improved properties relative to nanocellulose and bio-based carbon black produced by more energy intensive processes.
