The isolation of nanocellulose from different agricultural residues is becoming an important research field due to its versatile applications. This work collects different production processes, including conditioning steps, pretreatments, bleaching processes and finally purification for the production of nanocellulose in its main types of morphologies: cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). This review highlights the importance of agricultural wastes in the production of nanocellulose in order to reduce environmental impact, use of fossil resources, guarantee sustainable economic growth and close the circle of resource use. Finally, the possible applications of the nanocellulose obtained as a new source of raw material in various industrial fields are discussed.

“…After Comprehensive consideration of the energy consumption and dyeing performances, 80 °C of temperature, 30 min of dyeing time are defined as the optimum conditions for MdC-Op dyeing. The macro-molecular structures of cellulose would be damaged at highly acidic (Urbina et al 2021). And too high pH value would lead to the rapid hydrolysis of dyes (Fig.…”

Traditional dyeing process of cotton has caused a large amount of wastewater with high salt content, which seriously damages the ecological environment. In this work, cotton fabric was modified with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride in order to decrease the electrostatic repulsion with the anionic dyes. A systematic optimization of the process has been performed. The acid dyes were applied instead of the common reactive dyes to dye the modified fabrics. The advantage of the high dye-uptake of acid dyes is studied. The levelness of the fabric dyed by reactive dyes and acid dyes were compared. The adsorption process and the bindings between the modified fabric and anionic acid dyes were further explored. The dyeing process were optimized. Finally, the dye-uptake of the modified fabric dyed by optimized conditions achieves to about 92%, which is comparable to traditional cotton dyeing process.

“…The equipments in BC production include a rotating disk reactor which is half submerged and half exposed to air, a rotary biofilm contactor having a series of circular disks, the usage of spin filters and silicon membranes, among others. Although, static cultures do not affect BC’s degree of polymerization, crystallinity nor its mechanical properties, compared to submerged cultures in agitation which also might induce the growth of cellulose-negative strains [ 114 , 160 , 163 ]. Despite these strategies, further research is needed to categorially replace the current method of production in favor of more industrially friendly and economically feasible methods.…”

Bacterial cellulose is a naturally occurring polysaccharide with numerous biomedical applications that range from drug delivery platforms to tissue engineering strategies. BC possesses remarkable biocompatibility, microstructure, and mechanical properties that resemble native human tissues, making it suitable for the replacement of damaged or injured tissues. In this review, we will discuss the structure and mechanical properties of the BC and summarize the techniques used to characterize these properties. We will also discuss the functionalization of BC to yield nanocomposites and the surface modification of BC by plasma and irradiation-based methods to fabricate materials with improved functionalities such as bactericidal capabilities.
