The aim of the course:
The students should determine chemical and physical properties of cellulose in various lignocellulosic materials
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : determine cellulose content in various lignocellulosic materials.1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,111,2,4
PO - 2 : determine crystallographic properties of cellulose in various lignocellulosic materials1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,111,2,4
PO - 3 : establish a relationship between cellulose properties and reaction media (alkali, acidic and neutral media)1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,111,2,4
PO - 4 : establish a relationship with chemical and physical properties of cellulose1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,111,2,4
