  • Description: Cellulose nanofibrils were efficiently produced from eucalyptus fibers using a combined NaOH and enzymatic treatment followed by a pilot scale grinding process. The structural changes of fibers were assessed after NaOH treatments at 5, 10 and 15 wt% concentrations. A progressive shift from a cellulose I to a cellulose II crystalline structure was observed with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The further enzymatic hydrolysis was improved for the NaOH treated samples. The increase of crystallinity indices due to enzymatic hydrolysis was of + 4.7 %, + 3.5 %, and +10.3 % for samples treated with NaOH 5, 10 and 15 wt% respectively, and DP values were drastically reduced to 340, 190 and 166 respectively. A morphological analysis underlined an optimum with the combination of NaOH 10 wt% and enzymatic hydrolysis. This treatment followed by the grinding process resulted in CNF with a rigid structure, with diameters ranging from 10 to 20 nm and lengths between 150 and 350 nm. A multi-scale analysis enabled to study the impact of this combined treatment on CNF properties and energy consumption. A decrease in mechanical properties of nanopapers was observed for the combined treatment and NaOH treatment alone compared to enzymatic hydrolysis alone, with Young's modulus of 8.94, 4.84 and 11.21 GPa respectively. However, optical properties were improved, with transmittance values of 42.2, 15.4 and 7.1 % respectively. This new pretreatment can therefore lead to CNF with tunable properties depending on the application, with possible industrialization thanks to the reduction of energy needs.
