Controllable conversion of cellulose nanocrystals to cellulose microspheres: Insight on the effect of parameters during spray drying, TAPPI Journal February 2025

ABSTRACT: Cellulose microspheres, which have mainly been produced via the sol-gel method up until now, exhibit a promising potential for broad applications due to their regular microstructure and renewability. However, some issues with production of cellulose microspheres, such as the recycling of involved organic solvents and the removal of the residual solvents, should be solved. In this study, a cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) suspension was used to produce cellulose microspheres via spray drying in order to avoid the use of organic solvents. The effects of CNCs particle size, CNCs concentration, and inlet temperature of spray drying on microstructure and particle size of cellulose microspheres were investigated. The results indicated that the optimal average particle size and concentration of CNCs used for obtaining cellulose microspheres were 106 nm and 0.1 wt%, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, cellulose microspheres with a regular spherical morphology and an average particle size of ca. 3 ìm were obtained. The sulfuric acid hydrolysis and spray drying process barely affected the crystalline structure of cellulose. However, the introduced sulfhydryl groups, which were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results, degraded the thermostability of cellulose. Generally speaking, converting CNCs to cellulose microspheres via spray drying is beneficial for promoting the controllable and continuous production of cellulose microspheres.

Guest Editorial: Addressing nanocellulose commercialization needs: R&D collaboration is vital, TAPPI Journal April 2019

This special edition of TAPPI Journal presents demonstrable progress toward the goal of commercial-scale implementation of nanocellulose. Steve Winter of International Paper and I, as co-leads of the Cellulosic Nanomaterials team of the Alliance for Pulp & Paper Technology Innovation (APPTI), see this widespread engagement of the research community in developing innovations as critical to successful commercialization. Congratulations and thanks to TAPPI and to the researchers publishing in this issue and elsewhere.
