Techno-Economic and Environmental Assessment of Cellulose Nanocrystal Production from Lignocellulosic Biomass via Sulfuric Acid Hydrolysis
Short Introductive summary
The production of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from lignocellulosic biomass represents a promising pathway toward developing renewable, high-value nanomaterials and advancing sustainable bioproduct manufacturing. Despite their potential, large-scale CNC production remains constrained by high energy requirements and intensive chemical use. This study aims to assess the techno- economic and environmental performance of CNC production via sulfuric acid hydrolysis, providing insights to support the design of efficient and sustainable biomaterial manufacturing processes.
