Description

Microcrystalline cellulose and method for preparing microcrystalline cellulose by using crop straws
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of resources and environment, particularly relates to high-value utilization of agricultural waste resources, and more particularly relates to microcrystalline cellulose and a method for preparing microcrystalline cellulose by using crop straws.
Background
Crop straws are a precious renewable biomass resource, and according to the report of the environmental planning agency of the United nations, crops planted in the world can provide about 20 hundred million tons of straws every year. The Chinese straw yield is at the first position in the world, about 7 hundred million tons of straws are produced every year, and the Chinese straw yield can be folded into 3.53 million tons of standard coal. With the continuous deterioration of the environment and the increasing shortage of fossil resources and wood resources, the development of comprehensive utilization of renewable resources has become one of the effective ways to cope with the current resource shortage.
The straw is complex in structure and composition and mainly comprises three components of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, wherein the structure of the cellulose is simplest and the content of the cellulose in the straw is highest. The cellulose is polymerized by glucose units, can be directly converted into modified cellulose or hydrolyzed into D-glucose, and then further converted into other fine chemicals, and can be used for preparing chemical products with wide application, such as microcrystalline cellulose, glucose, cellulose acetate, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and the like. Wherein the microcrystalline cellulose can be partially depolymerized from natural cellulose (alpha-cellulose), the degree of polymerization is reduced, and the microcrystalline cellulose has lower degree of polymerization and higher specific surface area, so the microcrystalline cellulose is widely applied to the industries of medicine, food, cosmetics and light chemical industry; in addition, compared with alpha-cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose has higher reaction performance in the processes of carboxymethylation, acetylation and esterification, and is an important fine chemical raw material.
Domestic cellulose is mainly derived from cotton pulp and wood pulp, which are relatively expensive, and 80% of wood pulp is imported. In recent years, research workers at home and abroad develop and research the separation, extraction and purification technology of straw cellulose aiming at the characteristic of high content of straw cellulose. The crude cellulose of straws is separated and extracted by adopting a mixed solution of an organic solvent and water, and then the alpha-cellulose is hydrolyzed to the limit polymerization degree under the condition of controlling hydrolysis by dilute acid, so that the microcrystalline cellulose can be formed. At present, ethanol is the most widely applied organic solvent, and because ethanol and water form an azeotrope, a large amount of energy is consumed for recovering ethanol; and the boiling point of the ethanol is lower, and the ethanol is easy to volatilize in the treatment process. In addition, alpha-cellulose is usually partially hydrolyzed under the homogeneous catalysis of inorganic strong acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, the corrosivity and the waste liquid amount are large, the pollution is serious, the post-treatment cost is high due to the factors, the further large-scale deep processing and conversion utilization are not facilitated, and a method for preparing microcrystalline cellulose by cleanly utilizing crop straw cellulose is needed.
