A continuous process for production of cellulose pulp from grass-like plant feedstock for paper making. The process includes: preparing the grass-like plant feedstock by comminuting, dedusting, continuous digestion, disperging, diluting the cellulose pulp, screening and fractionation, concentration to remove black liquor, dilution with fresh water, and, optionally, pulp bleaching processes. The continuous digestion is performed in the vertical column at 70-100 C. for 40 minutes to 2 hours; average composition of thus formed digestion suspension is maintained within the following ranges: 0.9-1.5% w/w of NaOH; 0.15-0.4% w/w of NaCl or Na.sub.2SO.sub.3; and 15-18% w/w of grass-like plant feedstock; concentrations of ingredients being calculated on the weight of the liquid phase. Screening and fractionation are resulting with two fractions; one being further processed by milling, and another being further processed to final pulp with or without bleaching processes. The preferred grass-like feedstock for the process is miscanthus/Miscanthusgiganteus, Andersson/.

A method for producing nanocellulose is described herein. The method includes contacting a cellulosic material with an oxidizing agent, and a compound selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal bromide, an alkali metal iodide, an alkali metal fluoride, an alkali metal chloride, or a combination thereof, in an aqueous solution to provide an oxidized cellulose mixture. The nanocellulose prepared according to the method is also described.

Lignocellulosic waste, such as date palm seeds, is treated with industrial waste such as rejected brine solution waste from a water treatment desalination plant to break down lignin and isolate and recover cellulose. Such a method is more cost effective and less toxic than other current and prior methods. Such a method concurrently solves two problemsusage of lignocellulose waste and usage of brine solution waste from a desalination treatment plantto isolate and recover biocompatible, biodegradable versatile cellulose.
