Tequila elaboration leaves two main byproducts that are undervalued (bagasse and leaves). Organosolv pulping and Total Chlorine Free bleaching were integrated to obtain cellulose fibers from agricultural waste which consisted of blue agave bagasse and leaf fibers; together they represent a green process which valorizes biomass waste. The obtained celluloses were characterized by FT-IR, colorimetry, and SEM and their extraction yields were evaluated. These celluloses were used to produce cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibers. First, an acid hydrolysis was performed in a sonication bath to induce cavitation during the reaction to produce cellulose nanocrystals. Then a high-pressure homogenization was selected to produce cellulose nanofibers. These nanocelluloses were characterized by powder XRD, Nanosizer, zeta potential, NMR, and electronic microscopy. Results showed that cellulose from organosolv pulps bleached with TCF bleaching is suitable for nanocellulose production. Moreover, the use of a new step to separate cellulose nanocrystals resulted in yields almost doubling traditional yields, while the rest of the properties remained within the expected.

龙舌兰酒的精加工会留下两种被低估的主要副产品（甘蔗渣和叶片）。将有机溶剂制浆和总无氯漂白相结合，从包括蓝龙舌兰蔗渣和叶纤维在内的农业废料中获得纤维素纤维。它们共同代表了绿色过程，该过程使生物质废物物有所值。通过FT-IR，比色法和SEM对获得的纤维素进行表征，并评价其提取率。这些纤维素用于生产纤维素纳米晶体和纤维素纳米纤维。首先，在超声浴中进行酸水解以在反应过程中引起空化以产生纤维素纳米晶体。然后选择高压均质化生产纤维素纳米纤维。这些纳米纤维素的特征在于粉末XRD，Nanosizer，ζ电位，NMR，和电子显微镜。结果表明，用TCF漂白剂漂白的有机溶剂浆中的纤维素适合纳米纤维素的生产。而且，使用新的步骤分离纤维素纳米晶体会导致收率几乎是传统收率的两倍，而其余特性仍保持在预期范围之内。
