In recent years, muchresearch has been devoted for production of the industrial rawmaterials from the agricultural and industrial processing wastesin order to secure cheaper costs [23–33]. The agricultural residuessuch as rice straw, sugar cane bagasse, cotton stalks, corn stalks,jute waste fibers, palm tree wastes and flax shaves are available asa vast reservoir of potentially available raw material. These residuescan be subjected to pulping by the alkali boiling and the obtainedcellulosic pulps are further functionalized and utilized as usefulindustrial products.
