A STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS PARAMETERS ON OBTAINING CELLULOSE FROM THE FIBROUS WASTE OF COTTON CLEANING PLANTS (FWCCP) THROUGH ALKALI COOKING IN A COMPLEX PROCESS

Current technologies for producing cellulose from cotton lint fail to provide cellulose of sufficient quality for chemical processing, particularly in line with modern environmental requirements. Despite the widespread use of sodium hydroxide in the cooking process, the nature and environmental impact of harmful volatile compounds released during this stage remain poorly understood. This knowledge gap highlights the importance of conducting comprehensive research and development to design eco-friendly processes capable of producing high-quality cellulose from cotton waste, ensuring both industrial efficiency and environmental sustainability in chemical processing applications.
