Higher‐value products, such as cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), may be produced from lignocellulosic agroindustrial residues, such as oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers that are presently underutilized or discarded. Recovery of cellulose from EFB and its conversion of CMC are discussed as methods of creating value and reducing the environmental impact of EFB.

油棕空果束纤维中的纤维素及其向羧甲基纤维素的转化

较高价值的产品，例如纤维素和羧甲基纤维素（CMC），可能是由木质纤维素农用工业残留物生产的，例如目前未充分利用或丢弃的油棕空果束（EFB）纤维。讨论了从EFB中回收纤维素及其CMC的转化方法，作为创造价值和减少EFB对环境的影响的方法。
