MCC can be made from any natural cellulose materials that have high content of cellulose ranging from pure cellulose, commercial grade cellulose to lignocellulosic materials. In this work, Beeswing （-20 L） and Chaff （5/8） which are the parts of corn cobs were used as raw materials to produce MCC via alkaline degradation, bleaching and hydrolysis. The optimum conditions of alkaline degradation, bleaching and hydrolysis were studied. MCC samples that prepared from -20 L and 5/8 were characterized through XRD （X-ray diffraction）, SEM （scanning electron microscopy） and compared with the commercial MCC （Avicel PH 101）. The results show that the degree of crystallinity of alkaline degradation, bleaching and hydrolysis obtained at 10% of NaOH 95 ~C for 2 h, NaCIO21.5 g 10% of acetic acid 0.5 mL 70 ~C for 2 h, 2 N of HC1, 105 ~C for 1 h showed maximum values which are 77.07%, 75.07% and 86.84%, respectively. The degree of crystallinity and the morphology of prepared MCC correspond to that of Avicel PH 101 industrial investment has been studied, the benefits of micro crystalline cellulose production （MCC） is 3,447 baht/kg. The investment of the plant is 7,263,514 baht and the breakeven point is around 6 years.展开更多
