Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the efficiency of addition of ethylene oxide and to produce hydroxyethylcellulose of good transparency, by reacting an alkali cellulose with ethylene oxide in a mixed solvent of dioxane with water. CONSTITUTION:A cellulosic material is soaked in an aqueous alkali solution and pressed to obtain an alkali cellulose. This alkali cellulose is dispersed in a mixed solvent of 90-70% dioxane with 10-30% water, and ethylene oxide is added to the formed dispersion reacted at 40-80 deg.C.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when producing hydroxyethyl cellulose by a solvent method, alkali cellulose is dispersed in an alcohol such as ethanol, isopropanol, tertiary butanol, or a solvent such as acetone, and then ethylene oxide is reacted with the alkali cellulose. is well known.

However, when these solvents are used, the ethylene oxide reacts with the alcohol in the above alcohols, so the addition efficiency of ethylene oxide to cellulose is poor, and non-uniform addition tends to occur. Unless the number is approximately 2 moles or more, there is a drawback that the resulting aqueous hydroxyethyl cellulose solution has poor transparency.

The present invention has the disadvantage that the reaction is dangerous. (Problem to be solved by the invention) The present invention improves the efficiency of addition of ethylene oxide to cellulose when producing droxyethyl cellulose by a solvent method, and adds uniformity to the cellulose. It has been found that a mixed solvent of dioxane and water can be used to carry out the addition and to further reduce the risk of reaction due to the low boiling point.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has already been proposed by immersing a cellulose raw material in an alkaline aqueous solution and pressing it to prepare alkali cellulose, and then mixing the alkali cellulose with 5 to 10 times the amount of dioxane and water. This is a method for producing hydroxyethyl cellulose, which is characterized by dispersing it in a solvent and reacting it with ethylene oxide.

The mixing ratio of dioxane and water used is dioxane:water = 90-70:10-30, preferably 85
-75:15-25 (all weight ratios). Regarding the mixing ratio of dioxane and water, if the amount of dioxane exceeds this range, the dispersion of alkali cellulose in the solvent will be poor, which will easily cause a heterogeneous reaction. Side reactions with oxide become large, and the efficiency of adding ethylene oxide to cellulose deteriorates.

In addition, when preparing alkali cellulose, a caustic soda aqueous solution is used in the usual manner, but the amount of caustic soda after soaking and pressing is approximately 25 to 40% of the weight of cellulose, and approximately 1.0 to 1.0 in terms of glucose unit. It is preferable to adjust the amount to 1.6 mol.
