Preparation of Rice Straw Cellulose by chemical-mechanical treatment

In many countries, straw is an abundant cellulosic by-product from crop production such as wheat, rice, corn and soybean. Cellulose is the main component in crops straw, which is acompact structure of hemicelluloses in close association with lignin. Moreover, cellulose, the most abundant organiccompound and a renewable resource. It is widely used because of its availability, biocompatibility, biological degradability, and sustainabilit., gains increasing importance as rawmaterials for fuels, chemicals, paper industry, building board, and food industries because of its low cost, wide availability, and low content in non-fibrous materials [1-3].
