Agricultural residues are attractive raw materials for the production of industrial polymers because they are renewable and biodegradable, involve less toxic materials during manufacturing, add value to agricultural by-products, and decrease the global dependence on petroleum-based feedstock. In this work, it has been shown that agricultural residues such as wheat straw, barley straw, and rice hull can be converted to methyl cellulose, an industrial polymer used as adhesives, protective coatings, personal care, and in agriculture. Weight yields range from 30 to 70%. The degree of substitution (DS) varies from 0.8 to 2.8. In addition, the methyl cellulose can be further converted to acetylated methyl cellulose. These products have been characterized via NMR analysis.
