Physicotechnical, spectroscopic and thermogravimetric properties of powdered cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose derived from groundnut shells

α-Cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose powders, derived from agricultural waste products, that have for the pharmaceutical industry, desirable physical (flow) properties were investigated. α–Cellulose (GCN) was extracted from groundnut shell (an agricultural waste product) using a non-dissolving...
