Nanocellulose is a renewable nanomaterial that has received lot of attention due to its use in variety applications from the biomedical field food packaging. In this study, Nano cellulose (NC) was extracted Maize cob, using Acid hydrolysis process. The NC characterized Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) for particle size, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) functional groups, Scanning Ele...

Corncob is one of the industrial waste has cellulose content of 39.1 wt%, which makes it has high potential to be a raw material in the production of cellulose nanocrystal. Corncob was delignificated with 3.5 wt% HNO3 and NaNO2 10 mg, precipitated process with 17.5 wt% NaOH, and bleached with 10 wt% H2O2. Cellulose nanocrystal was obtained by hydrolysis using 45 wt% H2SO4. Corncob and cellulose...

Nanocellulose membranes could efficiently separate oily wastewater because of their super-hydrophilic and underwater super-oleophobic property nano-porous structure. However, the practical application storage nanocellulose is limited by low water permeation flux easy corrosion bacteria, respectively. Herein, with high permeate antibacterial were fabricated grafting tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosp...

Introduction: Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate is one of the most abundant phthalate esters and it is widely used as softeners in plastic products. Malformation, carcinogenicity, the poisoning of the reproductive system, and also the disruption of the human endocrine system are the harmful effects of these substances. Materials and Methods: In this research, the removal of di (2-ethylhexyl) phthal...
