Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for preparing cellosaccharides by depolymerization of cellulose.
- Cellosaccharides are particularly useful as raw materials for the chemical industry. They have a higher added value than the cellulose itself.
- the cellosaccharides make it possible in particular to synthesize modified cellulose, for example cellulose esters or ethers, such as carboxymethylcellulose (CMC).
- CMC carboxymethylcellulose
- the acetolysis of cellulose allows simultaneous hydrolysis and peracetylation of the cellulose chain.
- This method makes it possible to obtain yields of the same order as acid hydrolyses, but it requires an additional step of deacetylation. It has the same disadvantages of corrosivity, harmfulness and control as acid hydrolysis. Nevertheless, the oligosaccharide mixtures obtained are easier to purify.
- these processes generally comprise a step of mechanical grinding of the cellulose making it possible to reduce its crystallinity and to make it more accessible to the various depolymerization reagents used.
- This prior grinding step has the disadvantage of being expensive.
- Chlorine dioxide is used as a delignifying and whitening agent for lignocellulosic fibers.
- the purpose of this bleaching is to eliminate lignin (at the origin of the brown color) and the hemicelluloses, without modifying the cellulose chemically.
- chlorine dioxide does not react (or very weakly) on polysaccharides, and its selectivity towards lignin is unique in acidic medium.
- Chlorine dioxide is therefore used exclusively in acidic medium, and there is a prejudice to use it in other conditions that could lead to the degradation of cellulose, which is not sought in the paper industry.
- the invention relates to a method for preparing cellopolysaccharides comprising the steps of:
- the DPvi and DPvf being measured by viscometry at 25 ° C (according to Tappi T230 om-99).

- cellopolysaccharide also called cellooligosaccharide
- cellooligosaccharide is meant that the degree of polymerization is greater than or equal to 2 (glucose is excluded) and less than 20 as measured by MALDITOF mass spectrometry.
- the cellooligosaccharides are solubilized in the aqueous solution at 20 ° C. obtained at the end of step b).
- cellopolysaccharide is meant that the degree of viscometric polymerization is greater than or equal to 20 and lower than that of the cellulose provided in step a).
- the cellopolysaccharides are not solubilized in the aqueous solution at 20 ° C obtained at the end of step b). They are in suspension.

- any kind of paper pulp can be used. It can be obtained mechanically or chemically from virgin fibers (kraft process, sulfite, bisulphite, soda, by an organosolve process, ...), or from the recycling of recovered paper and paperboard.
- the pulp is preferably kraft paper pulp, especially bleached kraft pulp.
- the pulp is a suspension of lignocellulosic fibers in water, generally at a concentration of 20 to 400 grams, especially 50 to 300 grams, typically 50 to 150 grams of lignocellulosic fibers per liter of water.
- the consistency of the pulp (which corresponds to the percentage by weight of dry pulp in the aqueous suspension, that is to say the mass of dry cellulosic fibers in grams that contains 100 g of the suspension of cellulosic fibers) is generally between 0.5 and 40%, especially from 1 to 20%, for example between 5 and 15%.
- the paper stock may be unbleached or bleached (partially bleached or whitened).
- the process may comprise, prior to step a), a pulp bleaching step aO).
- a pulp bleaching step aO Any type of bleaching process known to those skilled in the art can be implemented.
- the pulp can be delignified by an oxygen stage or partially bleached by a TCF type sequence: OOQP, OZ, OZEop, OZEp, OZE ... or of the EOF type: Odeop, ODEp, ODE, ODEpDEp, or other types of partial bleaching sequence, for example those involving chelating, acidic or reducing stages.
- the bleaching is carried out by contacting the cellulose paper pulp with an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide at a pH of less than 7 (that is to say the usual conditions for the bleaching of cellulosic pulp in industry paper).
- the pulp (unbleached, partially bleached or wholly bleached) provided in step a) preferably has a kappa number (oxidation potassium permanganate, standardized method according to ISO 302: 2015) between 40 and 0.1, more preferably between 5 and 0.1.
- This index makes it possible to evaluate the rate of oxidizable functions of the pulp, including mainly the residual lignin, as well as the demand for oxidizing bleaching reagent.
- the lower the kappa number the lower the level of lignin and the lower the amount of bleaching reagent to be used.
- the cellulose provided in step a) contains less than 0.5% by weight, or even less than 1% by weight of lignin.
- the process comprises a cellulose depolymerization step, namely the step b) of bringing the cellulose into contact with an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide at a pH greater than or equal to 8.
- the cellulose is depolymerized into cellopolysaccharides with a mean degree of viscometric polymerization DPvf less than or equal to DPvi, and cellooligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization DPo of between 2 and 20. More precisely, under the conditions of step b), cellopolysaccharides with a mean viscometric degree of polymerization DPvf less than 0.60 x DPvi are obtained.
- the degree of viscosimetric average polymerization DPvf of the suspended cellopolysaccharides is typically greater than or equal to 20, in particular it is greater than or equal to 20 and less than or equal to 0.60 ⁇ DPvi, for example it is greater than or equal to 20 and less than or equal to 0.50 x DPvi.

- cellulose or cellopolysaccharides are dissolved in cupriethylenediamine (CuED), whereby a stable complex is formed.
- CuED cupriethylenediamine
- the DPvi and DPvf are measured by viscometry at 25 ° C. As the viscosimetric method is only applicable to solid cellulose samples, the measurement of the degree of DPo polymerization of the cellooligosaccharides, soluble in the liquid phase, was carried out by MALDITOF mass spectrometry.
- step b) is carried out by contacting the cellulose with an aqueous solution of pH greater than or equal to 8, and then adding chlorine dioxide, preferably an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide.
- the aqueous solution basic makes it possible to obtain a pH greater than or equal to 8 after addition of chlorine dioxide.
- the contacting of the cellulose with the chlorine dioxide takes place at pH greater than or equal to 8, whereas according to the conventional use of chlorine dioxide in pulp bleaching processes, this setting contact is carried out in acidic medium.
- the base is first brought into contact with the cellulose, and before introduction of chlorine dioxide.
- Step b) is carried out by contacting the cellulose with an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide at a pH greater than or equal to 8, generally from 8.0 to 13.5, in particular from 9.0 to 13.0, of preferably from 10.0 to 12.5.
- the pH is adjusted by addition of a base, preferably chosen from alkali metal hydroxides; alkaline earth metal hydroxides; alkali metal oxides; alkaline earth metal oxides; alone or in mixture. It may especially be NaOH, MgO, Mg (OH) 2 , Ca (OH) 2 , KOH, etc., preferably NaOH.
- the weight percentage of chlorine dioxide relative to the dry cellulose mass is from 0.1 to 20%, especially from 1 to 15%, preferably from 2 to 12%. .
- cellulose mass is meant the dry mass of cellulose contacted at the beginning of step b).
- the amount of chlorine dioxide introduced is also generally expressed in the amount of active chlorine, according to the following formula:
- the quantity of active chlorine introduced is determined according to the nature of the cellulose used as starting material and the degree of polymerization of the desired cellosaccharides, that is to say the desired degree of viscosimetric polymerization DPvf for the cellopolysaccharides and the degree of DPo polymerization desired for the cellooligosaccharides.
- the amount of active chlorine introduced is between 0.26% and 52.6% by weight relative to the weight of the cellulose (dry, brought into contact at the beginning of step b).
- the contact time between the cellulose and the chlorine dioxide at pH greater than 8.0 is at least a few seconds, advantageously at least 10 seconds, especially at least one minute, preferably at least 10 minutes, and generally less than at 24 hours, especially less than 12 hours, preferably less than 2 hours, typically step b) lasts about one hour. It is adapted according to the degree of polymerization of the desired cellosaccharides.
- Step b) is generally carried out at a temperature greater than 5 ° C., or even greater than 15 ° C., in particular from 20 ° C. to 90 ° C., preferably from 40 ° C. to 80 ° C., for example 60 ° C. C at 80 ° C.
- Step b) is advantageously carried out with stirring in order to promote the depolymerization.
- the degree of viscosimetric polymerization DPvf of the cellopolysaccharides can (be) adapted (s) according to the wishes of the user depending on the conditions of step b) and the degree of polymerization viscosimetric means of the cellulose provided in step a).

- the process may comprise one or more steps of washing the cellopolysaccharides recovered in step c), generally with water, optionally followed by a drying step.
- the cellopolysaccharides recovered in step c) therefore have a mean viscometric degree of polymerization DPvf of less than 0.60 x DPvi and generally greater than or equal to 20.
- the cellopolysaccharides recovered in step c) carry carboxylic acid and / or carboxylate functions, but in a small amount. These functions are created during oxidative depolymerization by chlorine dioxide.
- the amount of carboxylic acid and / or carboxylate functions of the cellopolysaccharides recovered in step c) is less than 0.20 millimoles per gram of cellopolysaccharides (as dry extract), ie less than 3.24 carboxyl functions per 100 units. anhydroglucose (monomer unit of the cellulosic chain), in other words there are fewer than 1.1 carboxylic acid and / or carboxylate functions per 100 R-OH alcohol groups present on the cellulosic chain.
- the content of carboxylic acid and / or carboxylate functions of the cellopolysaccharides can be determined by adsorption with methylene blue and then UV spectrometry.
- the mass distribution of the cellopolysaccharides recovered in step c) is advantageously narrow, that is to say that it has a dispersity D M of less than 3.0, typically of the order of 2 to 2.5 where the dispersity D M (also referred to as the dispersity index) is the ratio of the weight average molar mass to the number average molar mass of the cellopolysaccharides (the dispersity is 1 for a monomer, or for a polymer consisting of chains single length).
- the dispersity index is the ratio of the weight average molar mass to the number average molar mass of the cellopolysaccharides (the dispersity is 1 for a monomer, or for a polymer consisting of chains single length).
- the inventors assume that one of the explanations would be that in a basic aqueous medium, the cellulose swells better than in acidic medium and that more areas of the cellulosic matrix are thus accessible to be hydrolyzed. by chlorine dioxide. On the contrary, during a hydrolysis of the cellulose in an acidic aqueous medium, it is known that certain areas of the cellulose do not swell and remain crystalline, preventing access of the acid allowing the hydrolysis of these zones.
- the raw materials (cellulose, NaOH, chlorine dioxide, water) have a low cost.
- the process does not require a preliminary step of grinding the cellulose. He is usually exempt from such a step.
- DPvf cellopolysaccharide yields are good. They can reach more than 91% (weight of suspended cellopolysaccharides recovered relative to the initial weight of cellulose).
- the cellopolysaccharides (and the cellooligosaccharides) have a good purity.
- the combined action of the alkaline medium and chlorine dioxide generally eliminates the last traces of residual lignin and chromophores, and the other secondary residual compounds that can be found in trace amounts in cellulosic pulps ( saponifiable fats, fatty acids, pectins, proteins, soluble mineral matter, ).
- the cellulose and hemicellulose purity of the cellopolysaccharides is greater than 95%, especially greater than 98%, for example greater than 99%, generally close to 100% and the whiteness of the cellopolysaccharides is very high (greater than 90% ISO - measured according to ISO 2470-1: 2016).

- the method comprises a step d) of recovering the liquid phase.
- the process induces a relatively large formation of carboxylic acid and / or carboxylate functions in the liquid phase: typically greater than
- the acids of the liquid phase can be assayed by acid-base titration.
- the liquid phase recovered during step d) comprises in particular cellooligosaccharides, at least one organic acid and chlorite, which are valuable compounds. More precisely, it contains:
- organic acids in particular formic acid, lactic acid and acetic acid
- a base (the one that was used to adjust the pH during step b)).
- a first step the cellulose is hydrolysed into insoluble cellopolysaccharides in the medium and then into soluble molecules, cellooligosaccharides and small saccharides such as cellobiose.
- the saccharides are then degraded into glucose.
- Glucose is degraded to acids, such as lactic or acetic acids by dehydration of 1,6-anhydroglucose, and levulinic or formic acids by dehydration of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.
- liquid phase recovered in step d) comprises, in dry extract:
- the process comprises, after step d), a step e) of recovering cellooligosaccharides from the liquid phase.
- These cellooligosaccharides have a DPo degree of polymerization of less than 20, generally from 2 to 1 1.
- This recovery of the cellooligosaccharides of degree of polymerization DPo less than 20 from the liquid phase can be carried out by acidification of the liquid phase with a pH lower than or equal to 8 (by addition of an acid, for example of H 2 SO 4 ) then separation by steric exclusion chromatography or by ultrafiltration.
- Cellooligosaccharides of low degree of polymerization are recoverable in the chemical industry.
- Cellooligosaccharides of degree of polymerization DPo of 3 or 4 may for example serve as substrates for assaying the cellulase activity and perform biochemical characterizations, those with a degree of polymerization of 7 to 9 are useful for their elicitrices activities on the vine, and those of degree of polymerization of 2 to 20 are useful as precursors of fermentable substrates and as prebiotics.
- the process may also comprise, after step d), a step f) of recovering the formic acid from the liquid phase.
- Formic acid is a commodity of the chemical industry. It is particularly used in the textile and leather industries, in electroplating and for the formulation of insecticides, lacquers, solvents and household products as a substitute for mineral acids ("anti-limescale"). In the diluted state, it is used in human food (food additive E236).
- Formic acid is also a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed. In the poultry industry, it is sometimes added to the diet to destroy Escherichia coli. Beekeepers use formic acid as an acaricide.
- formic acid is a potential dihydrogen carrier for the fuel cell feed.
- the process may also comprise, after step d), a step g) of recovering chlorite from the liquid phase.
- Chlorite can for example be used as an oxidizing agent active in step aO) pulp bleaching, and therefore in the chain of conventional bleaching of the pulp mill (main line). If it is necessary to neutralize it to regenerate chlorine dioxide, use sulfuric acid already present on site (chlorine dioxide generator effluent), or a conventional stage filtration effluent with chlorine dioxide. chlorine (acid medium) from the main bleaching line.
- the process according to the invention can be implemented in quasi-closed circuit, for water as for minerals, and the need for additional chlorine dioxide is negligible compared to the flow consumed by the main line of bleaching in the factory.
- the effluents from the depolymerization processes of the prior art require treatments.
- the effluents resulting from an acidic depolymerization are very acidic and must be neutralized, and those obtained by enzymatic depolymerization are biochemically active, which requires subsequent treatment.
