Description

AN AMINO NANOCELLULOSE AND A PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an amino nanocellulose and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a method for preparing amino nanocellulose in an aqueous phase at normal temperature and pressure, and belongs to the technical field of the preparation of amino nanocellulose.
BACKGROUND
Cellulose is a natural compound with the largest reserves. Amino nanocellulose synthesized from cellulose as raw material is a high-quality industrial raw material and has a wide range of applications in chemical and biomedicine fields, and the like. At present, in the preparation of amino nanocellulose, nanocellulose is mainly used as a raw material. The crosslinking of amino groups with cellulose molecules is achieved through multi-step reactions in organic solvents, part of the reaction needs to be carried out under high temperature and high pressure conditions. The use of organic solvents can easily cause environmental pollutions, and the high temperature and high pressure reaction conditions will increase the energy consumption and cost of the preparation of amino nanocellulose. The present invention provides a method for synthesizing amino nanocellulose in an aqueous phase at normal temperature and normal pressure. Due to the normal temperature and normal pressure reaction conditions, the energy consumption in the preparation process of amino nanocellulose can be reduced; and in the crosslinking process of the amino group, no organic solvent is used, so that the risk of environmental pollutions can be avoided, and the cost of environmental disposal can be saved; cellulose is directly used as a raw material for the preparation of amino nanocellulose, no nanocellulose is prepared in advance, and the technical process is more simple.
SUMMARY
The present invention provides a method for synthesizing cellulose through amination reaction in an aqueous phase under normal temperature and normal pressure, the involved cross-linking reaction of amino group is realized through a one-step reaction, such that the process of cellulose amination is simplified; In the preparation method of cellulose involved in the present invention, during the amination reaction of the cellulose, the hydrogen bonds between the fiber molecules are broken, such that the dispersion of the fibers can be accelerated. The nanocellulose can be prepared simply through ultrasonic, homogenization or other mechanical grinding. The technical solution of the present invention is summarized as follows:
A preparation method of amino nanocellulose is provided, wherein through the method, the amino nanocellulose is prepared in an aqueous phase under normal temperature and normal pressure, and the specific steps are as follows:
(1) Soaking the cellulose in water overnight at normal temperature, wherein the cellulose is added in an amount of 0.5 to 15% (g/mL); after uniformly stirring, adding an alkali solution such that the final concentration of the alkali solution is 4 to 30% (g/mL); sequentially soaking the same at normal temperature and normal pressure for a period of no less than 15 minutes; the main function of the alkali solution is to accelerate the dissolution or swelling of cellulose so as to provide conditions for subsequent reactions. Preferably, the alkali solution is selected from sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
(2) Adding a halogen-substituted amino compound in batches, and stirring constantly during the addition so as to accelerate the dispersion of the cellulose and the proceeding of the reaction, wherein the amount of the halogen-substituted amino compound is added in an amount of 5 to 100% based on the mole of the alkali solution; adding dropwise the halogen-substituted amino compound and then stirring continuously; dropwise adding an acidic solution to adjust the pH to neutral, desalting after the reaction is finished; or directly removing the alkali solution and the halogen-substituted amino compound by suction filtration thereby finishing the reaction; and then desorbing the alkali solution and the halogen-substituted amino compound adsorbed on the surface of cellulose. The positively charged carbon atoms in the halogen-substituted amino compound of the present invention can selectively combine with the negatively charged oxygen atoms in the cellulose molecule to form an ether bond, thereby binding the amino group to the surface of the cellulose, meanwhile destroying the hydrogen-bond interaction among cellulose molecules and improving the degree of dispersion of cellulose. Preferably, the halogen-substituted amino compound is selected from any one of a bromine-substituted amino compound, a chlorine-substituted amino compound, or an iodine-substituted amino compound; and the acidic solution is selected from any one of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid or acetic acid.
(3) Finally, subjecting the same to ultrasonic, homogenization, or other mechanical grinding treatments so as to obtain the amino nanocellulose.
Further, the cellulose is natural cellulose or artificially processed cellulose; the preferred natural cellulose is selected from lignocellulose or bacterial cellulose; and the artificially processed cellulose is microcrystalline cellulose.
Further, when the cellulose is a regenerated fiber, it needs to be treated through bleaching, drying, dispersing and cleaning.
The present invention further includes an amino nanocellulose obtained from the above preparation method.
In the present invention, a water-soluble halogen-substituted amino compound (such as bromoethylamine, chloropropylamine, etc.) is used as a modifier, and cellulose is used as a raw material for the synthesis of amino nanofiber. Because the cellulose exhibits dissolution or swelling effect in high-concentration alkali solutions (such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.), the hydrogen bonding effect among cellulose molecules can be reduced. At the same time, the hydrogen atoms on the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose molecules can be bonded with the alkali solution, forming a negatively charged oxygen on the surface of the cellulose molecule. In an alkali solution, halogen in the halogen-substituted amino compound is dissociated due to carrying an electron, so that the carbon atom adjacent to the halogen becomes positively charged. According to the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution, when the natural cellulose and the halogen-substituted amino compound are mixed in a strong alkali solution, the combination of the halogen-substituted amino compound and the cellulose molecule can be promoted, so that the amination of cellulose is realized. At the same time, the amino group crosslinked to the cellulose molecule can also reduce the hydrogen bonding effect among the cellulose molecules, so that the cellulose can be dispersed in the form of nanocellulose under the action of ultrasound, homogenization, or other mechanical grinding.
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
(1) The reaction of the present invention is carried out under normal temperature and normal pressure and an aqueous phase condition, so that the energy consumption for the preparation of amino nanocellulose and the cost of equipment construction investment in the industrialization process can be effectively reduced; organic solvents can be avoided to be used due to the aqueous phase reaction condition, and thus the cost of environmental disposal can be reduced;
(2) There is no need to use nanocellulose as a raw material in the preparation process, thus the procedure of preparing nanocellulose in advance is avoided and the preparation process can be simplified;
(3) The cellulose is dissolved or swelled in an alkali solution, and then the halogen-substituted amino compound is bound to the cellulose molecule through a one-step reaction, thereby realizing the amination of the cellulose. On the one hand, in this process, the binding of the amino group on the surface of the cellulose molecule is achieved, on the other hand, the hydrogen-bond effect among cellulose molecules is destructed, such that the fibers can be dispersed easily, and the amino nanocellulose can be obtained after simple mechanical treatment. (4) The halogen-substituted amino compound in the present invention can be recycled and reused after the reaction is completed.

Test Example
According to the X-ray energy spectrum test, the characterization diagram showing the distribution of C, N and 0 elements on the surface of amino nanocellulose obtained by the present invention is shown in Figure 1. The distribution diagram of the nitrogen element indicates that the amino group is uniformly crosslinked to the surface of cellulose. The dispersibility of the amino bacterial cellulose prepared by the method described in the present invention is shown in Figure 2. Although the bacterial cellulose is homogenized before amination and crosslinking (Figure 2A), good dispersibility still cannot be achieved. After amino group was crosslinked to the surface of bacterial cellulose in the method described in the present invention, the dispersibility of cellulose can be significantly improved (Figure 2B).
