This process allows the quantitative isolation of cellulose from rice straw. Furthermore, the viscosity properties of the dissolved cellulose were improved. This enabled a novel process to produce regenerated cellulose. Non-transparent and transparent powders and films of high quality can be produced. These RC powders and films have been fully characterized and applied as separation media. Thus, it represents a future-oriented green alternative to known industrial processes.
