Methyl cellulose (MC) wanda aka yi da samfurin halitta

Methyl cellulose (MC) wani abu ne na cellulose, wanda shine polymer na halitta wanda aka samo a cikin ganuwar tantanin halitta. Cellulose yana daya daga cikin mafi yawan mahadi na halitta a Duniya, da farko an samo shi daga ɓangaren itace da zaren auduga. An haɗa MC daga cellulose ta hanyar jerin halayen sinadaran da suka haɗa da maye gurbin ƙungiyoyin hydroxyl (-OH) a cikin kwayar halitta ta cellulose tare da kungiyoyin methyl (-CH3).

Yayin da MC kanta wani fili ne da aka gyara ta hanyar sinadarai, albarkatunsa, cellulose, an samo su ne daga tushen halitta. Ana iya fitar da cellulose daga kayan shuka iri-iri, ciki har da itace, auduga, hemp, da sauran tsire-tsire masu fiber. Cellulose yana jurewa aiki don cire ƙazanta da canza shi zuwa nau'i mai amfani don samar da MC.

Da zarar an sami cellulose, ana samun etherification don gabatar da ƙungiyoyin methyl akan kashin bayan cellulose, wanda ya haifar da samuwar methyl cellulose. Wannan tsari ya ƙunshi maganin cellulose tare da cakuda sodium hydroxide da methyl chloride a ƙarƙashin yanayin sarrafawa.

Sakamakon methyl cellulose fari ne zuwa fari-fari, mara wari, kuma foda mara ɗanɗano wanda ke narkewa a cikin ruwan sanyi kuma ya samar da bayani mai ɗanɗano. An yi amfani da shi sosai a masana'antu daban-daban, ciki har da abinci, magunguna, kulawar mutum, da gine-gine, don kauri, daidaitawa, da kayan aikin fim.

Yayin da MC wani fili ne da aka gyara ta hanyar sinadarai, an samo shi daga cellulose na halitta, yana mai da shi zaɓi na biodegradable da kuma yanayin muhalli don aikace-aikace da yawa.
