Abstract

The aim of this study is to generate tools for utilizing Cellulose Biomasses Polymers from Palm Frond Fabricating Unit Design, Principles of material balance and volume equations were perform on the Reactor system to derive model equations applied in obtaining the reactor design parameters. Synthesize and characterize of carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) from Phoenix dactyliferaL, Date palm (leaves by etherification reaction using sodium mono chloroacetic acid (MCA)) and sodium hydroxide. Crystallinity of purified cellulose and (CMC) with degree of substitution of 0.77 and a percentage of produced CMC was 71%. The hydrolysis and dehydration reaction of Cellulose and Sodium hydroxide and Sodium monochord acetic acid respectively to Caboxylmethylcellulose is Exothermic. A cooling jacket incorporated to account for the supply and treatment of heat liberated. As a result, an integrated design of the CSTR reactor was presented to produce 150 tons/year of CMC with a volume of 2435.26 dcm3.
