Description

Enteromorpha-based cellulose nanofiber, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of environment-friendly degradable compounds for recycling solid wastes, in particular to a preparation method and application of enteromorpha-based cellulose nanofiber based on microwave-assisted pretreatment and high-intensity ultrasound.
Background
Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer and renewable material in nature, and has the advantages of low cost, abundant sources and environmental friendliness. Renewable and sustainable nanomaterials are increasingly receiving attention from researchers as society progresses. Therefore, the nanocellulose becomes an option in the nanomaterial on the earth, is taken as a nano functional material extracted from cellulose, has the characteristics of high Young modulus, high tensile strength, high length-diameter ratio, large specific surface area, small size effect, high reactivity and the like, simultaneously maintains the benefit of the natural cellulose which is renewable, biodegradable, environment-friendly and rich in source, and is widely applied to the fields of foods, cosmetics, pharmacy and the like.
The initial preparation method of the cellulose nanofiber mainly adopts mechanical treatment, wherein the high-pressure homogenization method is a method for preparing the nanocellulose by completely utilizing mechanical action for the first time in the world, however, the preparation method needs to consume a large amount of energy, has higher requirements on machine equipment, has high cost, is easy to block the equipment, and is not beneficial to popularization and use. The prior method is to adopt a combined treatment mode, namely a pretreatment cooperative mechanical treatment mode. The pretreatment can not only greatly reduce the energy consumption and the dosage of chemicals, but also produce cellulose nanofiber products with different functional groups. In general, different pretreatments can be used to weaken the cellulosic fibrous structure, promote fibrillation of the fibers, and thereby reduce energy consumption.
Nanocellulose is in a conventional sense mainly dependent on lignocellulosic raw materials of terrestrial plants, such as wood, beans, cotton, sugarcane, straw, coffee peel, banana peel, etc. However, with the shortage of energy and food, marine biomass is considered as a potential source, and extraction of nanocellulose from macroalgae and application thereof in polymer composites are hot spots of research in recent years. Macroalgae have become a potential source of nanocellulose material production due to several advantages of their own: (1) the content of other polysaccharide which is used for interfering the separation of cellulose is low, and the cellulose is easy to extract; (2) algae have high carbohydrate content; (3) compared with other sources, the method does not need to occupy cultivated land and chemical fertilizer, has wide sources and reduces the harvesting time due to rapid growth; (4) the lignin content is low and extraction results in a purer cellulosic component.
Enteromorpha prolifera is derived from Ulvaceae of Chlorophyta and is widely distributed in the east China sea and yellow sea. The enteromorpha is strong in adaptability and reproductive capacity, and can be propagated in a large quantity in a short time. In recent years, along with global climate change and water eutrophication, enteromorpha frequently bursts in Shandong and Jiangsu sea areas, floats and gathers to the shore, decays and stinks, pollutes the environment and seriously threatens the development of coastal fishery and travel industry. The enteromorpha is mainly buried in a treatment mode, but is not really and effectively utilized, and if the enteromorpha can be processed and utilized, the inundated enteromorpha becomes a rich resource. In view of the high cellulose content in the enteromorpha cell walls, the extraction is easy, and the cellulose extract has a loose reticular structure, a larger specific surface area and good performance in the aspects of water absorption, physical and mechanical properties. Therefore, the extraction process of the enteromorpha cellulose is greatly developed and used for preparing the functional material, waste is changed into valuable, and the realization of the resource utilization of the enteromorpha has a wide application prospect.
Chinese patent application CN111893789a discloses a preparation method and application of nanofibrillated cellulose, the method optimizes and upgrades the original method, and comprises the steps of ethanol soxhlet extraction to remove lipid, sodium hydroxide alkali treatment to remove protein, glacial acetic acid and sodium hypochlorite bleaching, hydrochloric acid demineralization and ultrasonic oscillation, and the nanofibrillated cellulose is obtained by successful extraction and separation. However, the method has the limitation factors of long Soxhlet extraction and degreasing time, extremely corrosive sodium hypochlorite, poor mechanical stripping effect of ultrasonic oscillation and the like.
The invention takes waste algae enteromorpha as the raw material to prepare the cellulose nanofiber, realizes the functionalization and high-performance wide application in the field, is beneficial to the utilization of waste algae, the development of biomass resources and the protection of ecological environment, and realizes the sustainable development of economy.

The technical effects of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the present experiment.
As shown in fig. 3, the microwave-assisted alkali treatment is a method of treating a natural cellulose material together with microwave radiation and an alkaline solution. In this process, the microwave functions to rapidly heat the reaction system by utilizing the characteristics of electromagnetic waves, thereby improving the reaction rate and efficiency. Specifically, microwave radiation can exacerbate the thermal motion of molecules in the reaction system, increase the impact frequency and energy between molecules, and promote the progress of chemical reaction. In addition, microwave radiation can also create electric fields and charge shifts between molecules and ions, resulting in changes in polarization and conductivity, further affecting the reaction process. In the microwave-assisted alkali treatment, the microwave has the effects of accelerating the reaction of the cellulose material and the alkaline solution, shortening the reaction time, reducing the reaction temperature and the consumption of the reactants, and realizing the efficient, energy-saving and environment-friendly reaction process.
As shown in fig. 4, the high intensity ultrasound principle is based on cavitation effects of ultrasound, i.e., mechanical and physical effects of ultrasound. The potential energy generated by the progressive expansion of the foam during cavitation is converted into kinetic energy of the liquid jet, moving through the interior of the foam and penetrating the opposite foam wall at a rate of several hundred meters per second, causing erosion damage to the fiber surface and a reduction in the cohesive forces between the fibers during collisions with the cellulose surface. The mechanical and physical effects of such ultrasonic waves can efficiently break up cellulose in a short time and obtain smaller particulate matter.
Example 2 SEM test of raw Enteromorpha prolifera in example 1 after various treatments
And observing the microscopic morphology and size of cellulose nanofiber extracted from enteromorpha by using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FES-SEM, gemini 300,Carl Zeiss AG, germany). The scanning working condition is a secondary electron mode, the experimental parameter is resolution of 4nm and accelerating voltage of 5kV.
As shown in fig. 5, SEM images of the process of preparing cellulose nanofibers by enteromorpha extraction. Wherein (a) and (b) are enteromorpha samples, (c) is a microwave-assisted alkalization sample, (d) is a bleaching sample, (e) is a demineralization sample, and (f) is a cellulose nanofiber. (c) It is shown that the excessive cutting of fibers is limited due to the high chlorophyll content in enteromorpha, while the microwave radiation is used as a substitute input energy source due to the rapid heat generation, so that the biomass structure becomes loose. (d) The bleached biomass structure is further loosened, which indicates that the binding force between the enteromorpha microfibers is reduced. This loose structure allows the acid to penetrate the fibers, making the reaction more efficient in the next acid treatment. (e) Clearly showing the fiber bundles being separated into fiber structures. As can be seen from (f), the cellulose filaments after high-intensity ultrasonic treatment are substantially separated and wound into a net-like structure.

A TEM image of enteromorpha-based cellulose nanofibers is shown in fig. 6. From the figure, the cellulose nanofiber extracted from enteromorpha is in a filament shape, and the cellulose nanofiber is inevitably entangled due to the large length-diameter ratio. Through image J software analysis, more than 200 points in the image are selected for marking, the diameter of the cellulose nanofiber is mainly distributed between 10 nm and 30nm, the cellulose nanofiber accounts for 71.22%, the cellulose nanofiber accounts for only 15.1% of the cellulose nanofiber, and the overall particle size distribution is uniform.
Example 4 Infrared Spectroscopy test of Enteromorpha based cellulose nanofiber prepared in example 1

From the figure, it can be seen that the enteromorpha-based cellulose nanofiber has typical characteristic peaks: hydroxyl telescopic vibration peak: at 3500-3200cm -1 The peak is relatively strong due to the large number of hydroxyl groups in the cellulose nanofibers. C-H stretching vibration peak: at 2850-2920cm -1 Is generated due to the high number of C-H groups contained in the cellulose nanofibers. 1636cm -1 The nearby peaks represent the water-absorbing O-H groups. 1372cm -1 And 1315cm -1 C-H bending vibration at 1429cm -1 at-CH of 2 and-OCH in-plane flexural vibration represents a cellulose group. Likewise 1162cm -1 And 1116cm -1 The nearby peaks correspond to asymmetric stretching vibrations of glycosidic linkages C-O-C and C-OH, respectively. 898cm -1 The nearby peaks are due to asymmetric stretching vibrations of the β -glycosidic bond between the anhydride glucose rings in cellulose, representing the presence of amorphous regions in cellulose.
