Urea Precooled
Tags: Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia, Healthcare & Lifesciences, Energy & Environment
The Urea Precooled technology utilizes an environmentally friendly method to dissolve cellulose from kenaf core in an alkali/urea system at low temperatures. This process forms a regenerated cellulose film with enhanced properties through the addition of metal-graphene oxide nanocomposites. The resulting material is highly porous and has applications in wastewater treatment, hydroponics, and sanitary products. The green process is cost-effective and reduces toxicity, making it suitable for sustainable industrial use.
