Determine the impact of acid treatment on cellulose nanofibril defibrillation and evaluate the mechanisms underlying cationic methylene blue dye adsorption.
Applied acid treatment to cellulose to assess its effect on defibrillation extent.
Tested the adsorption rate and capacity of the processed cellulose nanofibrils against cationic methylene blue dye.
Acid treatment directly alters the degree of cellulose defibrillation.
Cellulose nanofibrils achieve rapid uptake of cationic dye from solution.
Hemicellulose within the nanofibrils serves as the primary component responsible for dye uptake.
