The invention belongs to the field of production of special paper, and in particular relates to a cationization modification method of nano-crystalline
cellulose and a method for preparing high-strength cigarette paper from the modified nano-crystalline
cellulose. Specific to the characteristic of high specific surface area of nano-crystalline
cellulose, KOH and a method for adding an etherification reaction
accelerant are adopted, the
reaction temperature is lowered below 50 DEG C, cationization modification is performed on the nano-crystalline cellulose, and the modified nano-crystalline cellulose has the characteristics of retention and enhancement, so that the modified nano-crystalline cellulose has a wider application prospect; in the method for preparing cigarette paper,
softwood pulp is not used, and higher natural air permeability and higher
bonding strength of a product are ensured under the condition of reducing broadleaf wood
fiber devillicate and
fibrillation, so that
energy consumption in the production process of paper, in particular in the pulping process, is remarkably lowered, equipment investment of a
paper mill is reduced, high-strength cigarette paper is manufactured, the page quality is improved, higher strength and air permeability of the product are achieved, and the requirements on
energy conservation and emission reduction are met.
