Problems solved by technology

[0004] Conventional mechanical treatment methods have the following disadvantages: huge energy consumption
According to research reports, the power consumption of producing one ton of NFC products ranges from about 10,000 to hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours; the production cycle is relatively long, requiring multiple cycles and repeated processing; residual fibers affect the uniformity of product size
Chemical oxidation combined with mechanical treatment can significantly reduce energy consumption, but the current TEMPO chemical treatment method has high requirements on the purity of raw materials; TEMPO reagent consumes a lot, cannot be recycled, and the cost is high; when performing oxidation, sodium hypochlorite is required The solution is used as an oxidant, and sodium bromide or potassium bromide is added as an oxidation reaction aid
If the wastewater containing chlorine or bromine is discharged directly after production, it will seriously pollute the environment
Requires subsequent complex and costly water treatment
These problems limit the large-scale application of TEMPO chemical oxidation in production.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing NFC (nano-fibrillated cellulose). The method comprises the following steps that cellulose raw materials subjected to mechanical slurry grinding processing is diluted by a buffer solution; hemicellulase and / or cellulose are / is added for enzyme pretreatment; then, a mixture formed by peroxoic acid and one or more than two kinds of metal salts of the peroxoic acid is used as oxidization liquid for oxidizing fiber subjected to enzyme pretreatment; next, the oxidized cellulose is subjected to mechanical emulsification, and the NFC is obtained. The method is simple and efficient; the energy consumption and the pollution discharge in the production process can also be greatly reduced. When the technology is used for producing the NFC; the production period is obviously shortened; the mechanical energy consumption is greatly reduced; the production cost is low; the efficiency is high; the method is suitable for large-scale production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of green chemistry, biomass energy and materials, and specifically relates to the production and preparation of renewable functional biological materials using green chemistry methods. Background technique [0002] Cellulose is an important natural structural component of plant tissue, supporting and protecting it. The fibers in wood are usually filamentous, with a width of 5-10 microns and a length of 10-30 microns. It has the advantages of wide distribution, huge reserves and renewable. At the same time, wood cellulose is also an important raw material for the production of biomass fuel and biomass refining, and is widely used in pulp and paper, textile and hydrolysis to produce fermented sugar and other fields. The basic structural unit of cellulose is a linear glucose chain formed by the connection of glucose through glycosidic bonds. Multiple glucose chains are stacked together to form fibrils. The fiber pro...
