Methyl cellulose (MC) da aka yi da samfurin halitta

Methyl cellulose (MC) wani sinadari ne da aka samo daga cellulose, wanda wani sinadari ne na halitta da ake samu a bangon tantanin halitta na tsirrai. Cellulose yana daya daga cikin sinadaran halitta mafi yawa a Duniya, wanda aka samo asali daga ɓangaren itace da zare na auduga. Ana hada MC daga cellulose ta hanyar jerin halayen sinadarai da suka kunshi maye gurbin kungiyoyin hydroxyl (-OH) a cikin kwayar cellulose tare da kungiyoyin methyl (-CH3).

Duk da cewa MC kanta wani sinadari ne da aka gyara ta hanyar sinadarai, amma kayansa na asali, cellulose, ana samun su ne daga tushen halitta. Ana iya cire cellulose daga kayan shuka daban-daban, ciki har da itace, auduga, wiwi, da sauran tsire-tsire masu fibrous. Ana sarrafa cellulose don cire ƙazanta da kuma mayar da shi zuwa wani nau'i mai amfani don samar da MC.

Da zarar an sami cellulose, ana yin etherification don shigar da ƙungiyoyin methyl a kan kashin bayan cellulose, wanda ke haifar da samuwar methyl cellulose. Wannan tsari ya ƙunshi magance cellulose da cakuda sodium hydroxide da methyl chloride a ƙarƙashin yanayi mai sarrafawa.

Sakamakon sinadarin methyl cellulose foda ne mai launin fari zuwa fari, mara ƙamshi, kuma mara ɗanɗano wanda ke narkewa a cikin ruwan sanyi kuma yana samar da ruwan da ke da ƙamshi. Ana amfani da shi sosai a masana'antu daban-daban, ciki har da abinci, magunguna, kulawa ta mutum, da gini, don ƙamshi, daidaito, da kuma samar da fim.

Duk da cewa MC wani sinadari ne da aka gyara ta hanyar sinadarai, an samo shi ne daga cellulose na halitta, wanda hakan ya sa ya zama zaɓi mai lalacewa kuma mai lafiya ga muhalli don amfani da shi da yawa.
