1. A process for manufacture of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) from cellulose recovered from a cellulose-containing sludge source that is untreated, the process comprising: treating the cellulose-containing sludge source with an acid selected from the group consisting of HCl, HBr, H3PO4, and HNO3,
1. A process for manufacture of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) from cellulose recovered from a cellulose-containing sludge source that is untreated, the process comprising: treating the cellulose-containing sludge source with an acid selected from the group consisting of HCl, HBr, H3PO4, and HNO3, the acid having a concentration between 0.1 M and 1 M under conditions that do not form water insoluble salts with calcium carbonate and under conditions enabling substantial dissolution of non-cellulose material and isolation of substantially pure cellulose, wherein the substantially pure cellulose has less than 10% impurities and wherein said dissolution conditions do not alter cellulose morphology; andtreating the substantially pure cellulose with H2SO4 to a final acid concentration of about 60% under conditions causing preferential degradation of cellulose amorphous domains while maintaining cellulose crystalline domains intact, isolating the cellulose crystalline domains, and dispersing the isolated cellulose crystalline domains to obtain nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). 2. The process according to claim 1, wherein said cellulose-containing sludge source contains between about 5% and about 60% cellulose, or between about 40% and about 60% cellulose. 3. The process according to claim 1, wherein said cellulose-containing sludge source is paper mill sludge. 4. The process according to claim 1, further comprising removal of about 95%, by weight, of calcium carbonate from the cellulose-containing sludge source. 5. The process according to claim 1, wherein the acid has a concentration between 0.1 M and 0.3 M. 6. The process according to claim 1, wherein said acid is HCl. 7. The process according to claim 6, wherein said conditions include treatment of said cellulose-containing sludge source with HCl at a temperature between 40° C. and 80° C. 8. The process according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of:a) homogenizing the cellulose-containing sludge source;b) treating said homogenized cellulose-containing sludge source under acidic conditions, enabling substantial dissolution of soluble non-cellulose materials without altering cellulose morphology; andc) separating a liquid phase containing the soluble non-cellulose material from a solid phase containing cellulose to thereby obtaining substantially pure cellulose. 9. The process according to claim 8, wherein steps b) and c) are repeated at least twice. 10. The process according to claim 9, further comprising the step of recovering the substantially pure cellulose by one of separating from an acidic liquid phase and subsequently drying and separating as an aqueous suspension. 11. The process according to claim 9, wherein step c) further comprises: washing the separated solid material with water. 12. The process according to claim 8, wherein step c) further comprises: washing the separated solid material with water. 13. The process according to claim 1, wherein subsequent to the degradation of the cellulose amorphous domains, the NCC are dispersed. 14. A process for preparation of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) from a cellulose-containing sludge source, the process comprising: a) treating the cellulose-containing sludge source according to claim 1 to separate therefrom substantially pure cellulose;b) causing preferential degradation of cellulose amorphous domains of the substantially pure cellulose while maintaining cellulose crystalline domains intact; andc) isolating the cellulose crystalline domains to thereby obtain NCC. 15. The process according to claim 14, wherein a product obtained from step c) is dispersed to thereby obtain NCC. 16. A process for producing nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) from paper mill waste containing cellulose, the process comprising: a) providing the paper mill waste and measuring total solids content;b) separating soluble non-cellulose material from cellulose in the paper mill waste to obtain substantially pure cellulose, wherein the substantially pure cellulose has less than 10% impurities, the separating including: treating the paper mill waste with an acid having a concentration between 0.1 M and 1 M and selected from the group consisting of HCl, HBr, H3PO4, and HNO3, wherein conditions of the treating enable substantial dissolution of the non-cellulose material, do not form water insoluble salts with calcium carbonate, and do alter cellulose morphology;c) treating the substantially pure cellulose obtained from step b) to obtain the NCC, the treating including: i) adding H2SO4 to the substantially pure cellulose to a final acid concentration of about 60%;ii) degrading cellulose amorphous domains and maintaining cellulose crystalline domains intact; andiii) isolating the cellulose crystalline domains; andiii) dispersing the isolated cellulose crystalline domains to thereby obtain nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). 17. The process according to claim 16, further comprising homogenizing the paper mill waste prior to carrying out step b). 18. The process according to claim 16, wherein the acid is HCl. 19. The process according to claim 16, further comprising washing the substantially pure cellulose with water obtained from step b) prior to carrying out step c). 20. The process according to claim 16, wherein steps b) and c) are repeated.
