The Effect of Various Acids on Properties of Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) Extracted from Rice Husk (RH)

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was successfully extracted from rice husk (RH) via acid hydrolysis process using nitric acid (HNO3) in comparison with sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). MCC-RH extracted using HNO3 produced the highest percentage yield at 83.5% as compared to H2SO4...
