Abstract
Due to the increasing interest in the utilization of renewable feedstock’s for producing the chemicals, this paper aims to present a short review compiling some efforts made to synthesize the sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) from cellulose isolated from various waste biomass materials. NaCMC is water soluble etherified cellulose salt produced in large quantities in crude commercial grade for application in various fields due to its hydrophilic character, good film forming properties, high viscosity, and adhesive performance, etc.
