Description

Method for cleanly preparing cellulose nanocrystals by combining organic acid hydrolysis with nano-micro-jet homogenization one-step method and product
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of natural polymer material preparation, and particularly relates to a method for cleanly preparing cellulose nanocrystals by an organic acid hydrolysis combined nano-micro-jet homogenization one-step method and a product.
Background
Due to the demand of sustainable development, in order to alleviate the pressure of resources and energy sources brought by industrial development, more and more researchers turn the attention to degradable natural polymer cellulose which is widely available in higher plants, 50% of the wood content and 90% of the cotton content, and in addition, the cellulose is distributed in tunica, algae, fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, and even a smaller part of the cellulose is stored in marine animals. Annual yield of native cellulose is estimated to exceed 7.5x1010Ton, is considered the most abundant renewable resource on earth.
Nanocellulose prepared by nanocrystallization of natural cellulose comprises Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNC) and Cellulose Nanofibrils (CNF), wherein the CNC refers to rod-shaped fibrous crystals with widths and lengths of 5-70 nm and hundreds of nanometers respectively; CNF refers to entangled nanofibers with a diameter of 5-60 nm and a length of several micrometers. CNC has the advantages of high aspect ratio, large specific surface area, excellent mechanical properties, easy chemical modification of the surface, etc., and has been widely used as filler for reinforcing nanocomposite materials. Has shown huge potential in the fields of biomedical materials, packaging materials, electrode materials and the like due to the safety and effectiveness of the electrode material.
However, the industrial preparation of the nano-cellulose is not perfect, and the preparation cost is high, which becomes a significant bottleneck restricting the development of related nano-materials. The CNC prepared by the most traditional hydrolysis method of inorganic strong acid (sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid and the like) has poor thermal stability and low crystallinity, and can cause serious environmental problems of equipment corrosion, waste liquid pollution and the like. The mild biological enzymolysis method has high cost, long time consumption and low yield, and is difficult to realize industrial production. At the present stage, enterprises with large-scale preparation of nano-cellulose are still basically using methods with serious pollution and high energy consumption, such as inorganic strong acid hydrolysis, TEMPO oxidation and the like, and development of green, environment-friendly and efficient preparation technology is the main direction of future development of nano-cellulose.
Related studies (e.g., Chen reports on Green chem.,2016,18, 3835) suggest that Green, recoverable organic acids (e.g., formic, oxalic, maleic, etc.) can be used to hydrolyze cellulosic feedstocks to make CNC. Compared with the traditional method, the organic acid hydrolysis method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, small corrosion to equipment, high acid recovery rate, environmental friendliness and the like. Some polybasic organic acids (such as oxalic acid, citric acid and the like) contain more than two carboxylic acid functional groups, and have a plurality of ways of reacting with cellulose, and the prepared nano-cellulose has higher carboxyl content and larger functional application potential. However, since the organic acid has weak acidity, the single organic acid hydrolysis reaction has problems of long time and low yield, and the yield can be improved by adding inorganic strong acid catalysts (such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid), but the catalysts are toxic and unrecoverable, which greatly limits the application of the nanocellulose to materials such as food and medicine, and thus cannot meet the requirements of green preparation and high value-added application.
The pretreatment by organic acid hydrolysis combined with scientific physical assistance is an effective means for improving the yield of the nano cellulose, and Chinese patent 201610041840.1 reports a preparation method of the nano cellulose fibrils, and only a single product CNF is obtained by the pretreatment by citric acid hydrolysis combined with other mechanical actions with high energy consumption. At present, no report is found on a method for preparing high-yield CNC by combining organic acid hydrolysis with a microfluidization homogenizing one-step method, a microfluidization homogenizer has the advantages of short time, high efficiency, convenience in operation, applicability to large-batch industrial production and the like, cellulose nanocrystals can be separated from fibers to a greater extent through microfluidization treatment, and the sizes of all fiber pulp can be uniformly reduced. The invention further improves the yield of CNC and the residual CNF, two components are obtained by one-time centrifugal treatment, and the total yield can reach more than 95%.
