To attain the zero waste and green chemistry goals, much emphasis has shifted toward use of cellulose derived from agricultural biomass. In this study, carboxymethylation microcrystalline coconut fiber by monochloroacetic acid in presence an alcohol medium under alkaline conditions was suitable for synthesis carboxymethyl cellulose. The prepared, physical properties, degree substitution, swelling capacity, characterization were investigated. results indicated that yield cellulose, capacity...
