RECYCLING OF VALUELESS PAPER DUST TO A LOW GRADE CELLULOSE ACETATE: EFFECT OF PRETREATMENTS ON ACETYLATION

The feasibility of the production of cellulose acetate (CA) from recycled paper dust from carton boxes was examined. Two pre-treatments were carried out on the carton box’s paper dust (CPD) to improve the pulp properties for better effect of synthesis. The results showed that the acid and oxygen-alk...
