Cellulose triacetate (CTA) has successfully been synthesized from microfibrillated date seeds cellulose. The cellulosic material under study constituted 84.9% amorphous phase with a degree of polymerization of 950. Acetylation was conducted at 50 degrees C under optimized heterogeneous conditions by acetic anhydride as acetyl donor, acetic acid as solvent and sulfuric acid as catalyst. In this process, cellulose was acetylated without dissolving the material throughout. The acetylated cellulose chains on the surface were dissolved gradually in acetic acid, which created new accessible zones. The yield of cellulose triacetate was studied varying acetic acid, acetic anhydride and catalyst concentrations, as well as reaction times. The ratio between the intensity of the acetyl C= O stretching band at around 1740 cm-1 and the intensity of C-O stretching vibration of the cellulose backbone at 1020-1040 cm-1 was used to optimize the reaction time. The optimal reaction conditions of 8% concentration of sulfuric acid, acetic anhydride/cellulose weight ratio of 3: 1, acetic acid/cellulose weight ratio of 7: 1, reaction time of 3 h and reaction temperature of 50 degrees C have given highest yield of cellulose triacetate, of about 79%. The obtained date seeds-based cellulose triacetate was characterized thoroughly by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The synthesized product was identified as cellulose triacetate-I (CTA-I) characterized by a melting temperature of 217 degrees C and a decomposition temperature of 372 degrees C. These results demonstrated that date seeds can be used as potential source of microfibrillated cellulose which can be easily functionalized.
