Little Journeys In Science by Gordon Ho Guest
Cellulose forms most of plant cell walls with cotton being about 85 percent cellulose and other materials 15 percent. Solvents remove non cellulose parts, leaving pure cellulose. Cellulose resists culinary solvents but converts to soluble compounds with chemicals. Lye yields a soluble product in carbon disulphide enabling rayon production. Cellulose becomes dex trose with concentrated muriatic acid for candies and syrups. Sulphuric acid makes parchment. lye yields mercerized cotton. Nitric and sulphuric acids form nitrocellulose, a flammable explosive used in smokeless powders and photography films. Nitrocellulose provides lacquers for cars and imitation leather from canvas. Collodion is a nitrocellulose mix with alcohol and ether. Celluloid and related substances mix nitrocellulose with camphor. Remember cellulose products are inflammable, and flames pose accidents.
