A kind of method for preparing Natvosol
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method for preparing Natvosol, specifically in cellulosic sodium hydroxide/urea homogeneous phase aqueous solution system, carry out the method that ethoxyl etherification prepares Natvosol.
Background technology
Natvosol (HEC) is a kind of water miscible non-ionic celluloses ether.Because the consistency of water-soluble polymers, tensio-active agent and the salt of it and broad range, with do not have gelation point not have the characteristic of set point yet, and have thickening, suspension, dispersion, emulsification, bonding, film forming, protection moisture and improve excellent properties such as protective colloid, numerous areas (R.Donges such as oil production, coating, building, medicine food, weaving, papermaking and high molecular polymerization have been widely used in, British Polym.J., 1990,23,315-326; Noble and unsullied, Tang Liegui, Mierocrystalline cellulose science, Science Press, 1999).Owing to have very strong intramolecularly and intermolecular hydrogen bonding effect, Mierocrystalline cellulose is difficult to be dissolved in usual vehicle, also is difficult to melt-processed.At present, the production technique of HEC has vapor phase process and liquid phase method.These two kinds of production technique all need prepare soda cellulose in advance.Exquisite wood pulp or linters are mixed the generation soda cellulose mutually with the NaOH solution of high density, again the Mierocrystalline cellulose that obtains be impregnated in concentration and be degreasing among about 18% the NaOH in about 20 ℃, add oxyethane then and carry out etherificate, the removal of impurity, drying, grind and make the finished product.In the production process of above two kinds of HEC, all need to add a large amount of organic solvents such as Virahol, propyl carbinol, acetone etc. as thinner (Th.G.Majewicz, Walter G.Ropp, Method of preparing hydroxyethyl ethers ofcellulose, US Patent 4298728, Nov.3,1981.), increased production cost undoubtedly and brought serious environmental to pollute.Simultaneously, owing to be reflected under the out-of-phase condition and carry out, reaction process is difficult to control, the homogeneity and the quality of product all are difficult to be guaranteed.Thus, develop inexpensive, free of contamination cellulose homogeneous-phase derivatize system and become a focus of present Mierocrystalline cellulose research (T.Heinze, T.Liebert, Prog.Polym.Sci., 2001,26,1689-1762.).
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method for preparing Natvosol.This method is cheap, and is easy and simple to handle, pollution-free, the good uniformity of products obtained therefrom, purity height.
For achieving the above object, technical scheme provided by the invention is: a kind of method for preparing Natvosol, it is to obtain cellulose solution in 7~8%NaOH/10~13% aqueous solution of urea that Mierocrystalline cellulose is dissolved in concentration expressed in percentage by weight fully, and adds chloroethanol carry out the homogeneous phase ethoxyl etherification and obtain required Natvosol in this cellulose solution.
The preparation of above-mentioned cellulose solution: with concentration expressed in percentage by weight is that 7~8%NaOH/10~13% aqueous solution of urea is cooled to-8~-15 ℃ in advance, adds Mierocrystalline cellulose then and also at room temperature stirs 3~5 minutes, and instant separating obtains transparent cellulose solution.
The concentration expressed in percentage by weight of above-mentioned cellulose solution is 0.5~10%.Used cellulosic highest weight is 16.0 * 10
4, the optimum weight scope is 3.0 * 10
4~12.0 * 10

The add-on of above-mentioned chloroethanol is unrestricted, but its add-on is preferably 2~6 times of Mierocrystalline cellulose institute hydroxyl molar weight.
In aforesaid method, chloroethanol is joined in the cellulose solution, in 0 ℃~90 ℃ stirring reactions 1~48 hour, add acetic acid neutralization reaction liquid then to neutral stopped reaction; With the Natvosol that reaction solution separates, drying obtains high purity, high uniformity.
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has remarkable technical progress.At first present method is a synthetic Natvosol in the cellulose homogeneous-phase aqueous solution, and used cellulose solution is nontoxic, pollution-free, and is cheap, simple synthetic method, productive rate height, and reaction process is easy to control.And do not need to add organic solvent and make thinner and extra catalyst, products obtained therefrom purity height, substituting group is evenly distributed on the Mierocrystalline cellulose glucose unit, the low and viscosity height of the preparation desired substitution value of water-soluble products, and also the reaction process Mierocrystalline cellulose is gone up not degraded substantially.The present invention can make the Natvosol of higher molecular weight, has higher industrial application value.
