Plant cellulose is a renewable resources the abundantest on the earth, belongs to environment-friendly material, makes full use of Mierocrystalline cellulose and not only can protect environment, and can save limited petroleum resources.Because Mierocrystalline cellulose has very strong intramolecularly and intermolecular hydrogen bonding, thus indissoluble separate can not fusion, thereby limited its widespread use greatly.The industrialized so far viscose process that is still is produced artificial silk and glassine paper, but produces a large amount of CS in the production process
2And serious environment pollution.Therefore, the novel solvent and the new technology of development dissolving cellulos are extremely urgent.Recent two decades comes, and various free of contamination organic or inorganic novel solvents have been obtained bigger progress, methyl-sulphoxide (DMF)-oxynitride (U.S.pattent 3236669,1966) are wherein arranged, NH
3/ NH
3The SCN aqueous solution (J.Polym.Sci.Polym.Chem.Ed.1980,18,3469), Ca (SCN)
2With the NaSCN aqueous solution (Polymer J.1998,30,43; 30,49), ZnCl
2(U.S.Patent 5290349 for the aqueous solution, 1994), trichoro-aldehyde-methyl-sulphoxide (DMF)-pyridine mixed solution (Polym.J 1980,12,521), (U.S.Patent 4302252 for LiCl/DMAc, 1981), N-methyl-N-morpholine oxide (NMMO) (J.Polym.Sci.:Polym.Lett.Ed.1979,17,219) and the NaOH aqueous solution (Japan Patent 1777283,1983) etc.N-methyl-N-morpholine oxide is the strongest up to now cellosolve, comes into the market with the plain product of the small amount of fibers of its preparation.But owing to it costs an arm and a leg, spinning temperature is higher, the suitability for industrialized production slower development.The NaOH aqueous solution is the most cheap solvent of dissolving cellulos, when natural cellulosic hydrogen bond is corrupted to a certain degree, may be dissolved in during 4 ℃ of left and right sides in the NaOH aqueous solution of 7-9wt%.But this solvent only can be lower than 250 cellulosic molecule by the solvent polymerization degree, and obtained fiber yarn intensity is lower, is not suitable for industrialization spinning or system film.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of novel solvent of dissolving cellulos and prepare the novel method of cellulose membrane with its.This method will be with low price and free of contamination sodium hydroxide and thiocarbamide [(CS (NH
2)
2)] be solvent, by the dissolution in low temperature Mierocrystalline cellulose.Behind curtain coating legal system film, with aqueous sulfuric acid, aqueous acetic acid, CaCl
2The aqueous solution or the HCl aqueous solution be that solidification liquid regeneration makes regenerated cellulose film.It is raw material that present method adopts Mierocrystalline cellulose, utilizes simple casting technique, and to adopt cheap inorganic salt and organic aqueous solution be solvent, is a kind of low cost, the novel method of high production.This method is expected to replace the with serious pollution technology that present viscose process is produced glassine paper and artificial silk, will bring economic benefit and social benefit thus.
For achieving the above object, the technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows:
A kind of thiocarbamide buck solvent of dissolving cellulos is mixed with the aqueous solution with sodium hydroxide and thiocarbamide in 6-8wt%/2-8wt% ratio, and it is standby to be stored in refrigerator (below 10 ℃) after preparing.
The method of dissolving cellulos: with 10 gram natural cellulose molecular weight (M
η<10.2 * 10
4) or II fiber type element (M
η<12 * 10
4) be dispersed in 190 gram 6-8wt%NaOH/2-8wt% thiocarbamide mixed aqueous solutions, in ice-water bath, stirred 5 minutes, be placed in the refrigerator (0 ℃) then freezing 3 to 5 hours.Take out the back and under room temperature, fully stir, promptly make transparent cellulose solution.
The above-mentioned solvent of a kind of usefulness prepares the method for cellulose membrane: use casting method knifing on sheet glass after above-mentioned transparent cellulose solution is filtered, outgases.This film was handled 2-5 minute with the 2-5wt% aqueous sulfuric acid, and clean drying promptly gets regenerated cellulose film.System as peptizer can also be 1-2mol/L aqueous acetic acid, 5wt%CaCl
2/ 1~2wt%HCl mixed aqueous solution or 1~2wt%HCl aqueous solution etc.
Sodium hydroxide/thiourea solution of the present invention can be used for industrial dissolving cellulos, and it has stronger dissolving cellulos ability than sodium hydroxide/quiet plain aqueous solution.Can be used for preparing various cellulose silks, film, non-woven fabrics and chromatographic column protruded packing.Also can be used on the laboratory and carry out the research of molecular weight cellulose and SOLUTION PROPERTIES.Cellulose membrane of the present invention can be used as growing seedlings in the fields such as agricultural, chemical industry, food, environment, covers, packing and parting material.
Compared with the prior art, innovation of the present invention is as follows:
Novel solvent-the sodium hydroxide of dissolving cellulos provided by the present invention and thiocarbamide mixed aqueous solution, its concentration is lower, is respectively 4-8% and 2-8% (weight ratio), and wherein the caustic dip concentration (15-18%) of NaOH concentration ratio viscose process is low 3 times.And various Mierocrystalline celluloses (cotton linter pulp, straw fiber slurry, bagasse pulp, wood pulp and cellulosic nonwoven fabric and steam quick-fried cellulose slurry etc.) there is bigger solubleness, especially for the natural cotton short flannel of high-crystallinity, by adding a small amount of thiocarbamide, just can effectively dissolve natural cellulose (M
η<10.2 * 10
4).Existing NaOH water solution system (9-10%), wood pulp cellulose and regenerated cellulose after can only the dissolved vapor explosion, especially for the natural cotton short flannel, even through steaming quick-fried processing, its solubleness is still less than 9% (Br.Polym.J 1990,22,73).Its reason mainly is to quicken its dissolving because thiocarbamide can destroy hydrogen bond between poly-polysaccharide molecule effectively.
The present invention makes solvent with sodium hydroxide/thiocarbamide mixed aqueous solution, low price, and solvency power is strong, and is simple to operation, environmentally safe.
The used solidification liquid of the present invention is aqueous sulfuric acid, aqueous acetic acid, the HCl aqueous solution, low price, and production process is simple, convenient, nontoxic, harmless, pollution-free, safe.Regenerated cellulose film by present method preparation has excellent mechanical property, light transmission and biodegradability.Be expected to replace industrial viscose process and cuprammonium process, thereby be with a wide range of applications.
