Isolation and Characterization of Cellulose Nanocrystals from Rejected Fibers Originated in the Kraft Pulping Process

In the final process of the bleached kraft pulp there are some cellulose fibers that are separated from the main fibers stream; these fibers are rejected and considered as a low quality fibers, these fibers are known as rejected fiber (RF). In the present work the potential use of these fibers for C...
