Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this work is to improve the yield of nanofibril (NF) from windmill palm cellulose. NF was extracted via ammonium persulfate oxidation (APSO). Four factors (time, solution, temperature, cellulose weight) were used to analyze the influence on NF yield. On the basis of single factor analysis, the Central Composite Design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM) was used to design four factors and five levels experiment, and the NF yield was taken as the response value, finally the yield prediction model of regression equation was established via CCD. NF morphology was characterized by AFM. The results proved that the model could well predict yield, and there was interaction among factors, moreover, the influence of single factor was more remarkable than that of interaction among factors. At the same time, the results showed length and diameter of NF were uniform. APSO method accorded with green chemistry and was expected to be one of the efficient methods to extract NF.
