Fractional study of the microfibrillated cellulose
Source abstract
Abstract
The extremely high aspect ratios of minuscule lignocellulosic particles make analysis and characterization problematic. New methods to quantify the size, shape, and structure of cellulose microparticles are needed. The main objective of this research has been to study the potential of a novel fractional analysis method for microparticles. Laser diffraction–based particle size analysis was used as a reference method. Samples were also visualized using an electron microscope. Results of the novel fractional analysis method are presented as a percentage of particles in the different size fractions, according to the particle dimensions. The process is potentially a practical method for analyzing the morphological properties of microcellulose. Tube flow fractionation works especially well for particles with high aspect ratios, which typically pose a major problem for conventional particle analysis methods.
