The invention discloses a method for preparing
sodium carboxymethylcellulose from residues generated by producing biobutanol from maize
straw. A by-product
fiber slurry during production of biobutanol from the maize
straw is taken as a
raw material, and is subjected to pulverization, basification, etherification, washing,
centrifugation,
drying, pulverization and sieving to prepare the finished
sodium carboxymethylcellulose. The residues generated in the process of producing the biobutanol from the maize
straw are utilized fully and changed into treasure, so the industrial development of the production of the biobutanol from the maize straw is promoted, and the problems of deficient raw materials and high production cost during the production of the
sodium carboxymethylcellulose are solved. The appearance of the prepared
sodium carboxymethylcellulose is white or faint yellow
powder, the pH value is between 6.0 and 8.5, the
moisture content is less than or equal to 10 percent, the
degree of substitution is between 0.6 and 1.2, the
viscosity is between 35 and 6,500 mPa.s, and the
chloride content is less than or equal to 1.2 percent; and the
sodium carboxymethylcellulose has excellent performance, and can be applied in the industry such as daily
chemical engineering,
papermaking, oil exploitation and the like.
