METHOD FOR PREPARING POWDERED CELLULOSE
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a new method for preparing powdered cellulose. Prior State of Art
The cellulose is a natural polymer derived from D-glucose units, which are fused through β(1-→4) glycosidic bonds, and which confer to it a linear structure. Many properties of cellulose depend on the chain length, i.e., on the number of glucose molecules forming the polymer. Said length is also known as the degree of polymerization, sometimes abbreviated as DP (Degree of Polymerization). The cellulose from wood pulp generally has a DP comprised between 300 and 1700; cotton and other plant fibers as well as celluloses of a bacterial origin have chain lengths comprised between 800 and 10000 units, which corresponds to a DP between 800 and 10000.
Powdered cellulose, also known as PC, is a product obtained from cellulose, primarily by mechanical procedures as grinding is. PC is purified, partially depolymerized cellulose which is presented in white (white to grey color scale), odorless, tasteless powder.
Various methods for obtaining powdered cellulose of different grades have been described in the state of art.

Therefore, there is a need to provide a method for preparing powdered cellulose which would save the raw materials entering the process of production and which would bring environmental benefits as well while waste fibers are being used. Object of the Invention
The inventors have discovered a new method for preparing powdered cellulose from a less expensive and more available raw material. Said method allows reducing the consumption of manufacturing costs in process of powdered cellulose production. A discovered method describes a process of preparing powdered cellulose from waste lignin-cellulosed materials which rise from known processes of pulp and paper production and which are contained in wastepaper. These are subsequently subjected the acid hydrolysis or alkaline degradation so that the degree of polymerization may be adjusted in accord to cellulose viscosity while being reduced.
In comparison to known mechanical methods of preparing the powdered cellulose said method allows preparing of powdered cellulose with wide scale of polymerization degree in final product as well as obtaining the powdered character of cellulose in acid hydrolysis or alkaline degradation phase already. In respect of previous said conditions, all the process can be carried out without prior step of blending.
The main advantage of new method is an easy control of acid hydrolysis or alkaline degradation technological process. On basis of raw materials quality analyses (as pH, ash content, and degree of polymerization are) are manufacturing conditions - reagent concentration, hydro module, temperature and pressure chosen.

The object of invention is therefore a method for preparing powdered cellulose from waste lignin-cellulosed materials.
Description of the Drawings
No drawings are enclosed.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The method for preparing powdered cellulose comprises:
1. Choice and preparation of raw materials.
2. Acidification, alkaline ennoblement and reducing the degree of polymerization of raw materials.
3. Isolating the powdered cellulose obtained in step 2.
In the method of invention the first key step is using the waste lignin-cellulosed materials as raw materials and subsequently reducing the degree of polymerization on requested level by subjecting the acid hydrolysis or alkaline degradation so that the powder character of cellulose is obtained already in these processes. The resultant degree of polymerization of powdered cellulose is determined by cellulose viscosity and comprises between 100 - 400 (depending on sort of raw material used and requirements given on final products' quality characteristics).
Raw materials for preparing powdered cellulose
The raw materials which are used in the method of invention are following waste lignin- cellulosed materials rising from known processes of pulp and paper production and those contained in wastepaper:
1. Waste fibers rising from process of pulp chipping following the process of non- bleached pulp washing.
2. Waste fibers rising from process of pulp chipping following the oxygen delignification process.
3. Mixture of waste fibers described in points 1) and 2) together with non-bleached pulp using a ratio comprised between 100:0 to 0:100.
4. Waste fibers rising from process of pulp chipping following the pulp bleaching process.
5. Waste fibers rising from bleaching pulp processes which are captured in sewerage waters.
6. Waste fibers rising from drying technology at pulp and paper machines.
7. Mixture of waste fibers described in points 4) to 6) together with bleached pulp using a ratio comprised between 100 : 0 to 0 : 100.
8. Mixed waste fibers described in points 1) and 2) and 4) to 6) captured in sewerage waters.
9. All existing sorts of wastepaper.
Before starting degree of polymerization reduction are the basic raw materials qualities parameters assessed so that these subsequently subject the process of acid hydrolysis or alkaline degradation.
All said raw materials contain as basic compound cellulose. Depending on sort of raw material used, the chain length is given in degree of polymerization that usually comprises between 400 - 1300 and is determined by cellulose viscosity.
Ash content is defined as a ratio between cellulose content and content of inorganic additions. Its amount is determined by method of preparing final product and by place where it was separated. The usual ash content by said raw materials is comprised between 0,2 - 50%. pH value depends is determined by method of preparing final product and by place where raw material was produced. The usual values comprise between 4 - 10.
Acidification, alkaline ennoblement and reducing the degree of polymerization of raw materials
The degree of polymerization is a parameter which indicates the number of glucose units forming the cellulose chains. It can be determined from the viscosity of cellulose. Reducing the degree of polymerization in process of preparing powdered cellulose as described in this invention is being subjected to heterogeneous hydrolysis treatment in presence of mineral acids.
Important parameters that directly influence reducing the degree of polymerization and process of hydrolysis are as following:
1. Type of mineral acid
2. Elevated temperature by hydrolysis
3. Pressure
4. Other parameters in hydrolysis and alkaline degradation technological process. Type of mineral acid
The method of invention describes the using of following types of mineral acids - described on preferable application:
1. Hydrochloric acid (HC1)
2. Sulphuric acid (H2S04)
3. Phosphate acid (H3P04)
The amount of acid used is determined by its concentration. Acid concentration in hydrolysis process depends on quality of raw material. In accord to method of this invention it is recommended to choose acid concentration in ratio between 0,5 - 10%.
In respect of raw materials quality characteristics (mainly ash content and pH value) a prior step of acid hydrolysis is an acidification, where the lower H value is being achieved - neutral or slightly acid (4-7).
Hydrolysis temperature
In process of hydrolysis is temperature's scale chosen in respect of raw materials quality characteristics, in respect of degree of polymerization and acid concentration in solution. In the described method the temperature used comprises between 90 - 180°C.
Pressure
In process of hydrolysis is pressure determined by used temperature. In method of this invention the pressure comprises between 1 - 12 bars.
Other parameters in hydrolysis and alkaline degradation technological process
Raw material - water ratio
Said method of invention allows using a wide scale of raw material - water ratio during the reduction of degree of polymerization. This ratio is determined by hydro module used and water consistence.
By hydrolysis process in accord to this method of invention is hydro module chosen as 1 :4 to 1 :6 ratio what corresponds with water consistence 16 - 20% w. While this hydro module ratio is used, there is an important heat savings achieved.
Raw material dryness comprises between 3,5 - 90%w and really depends on sort of raw material used. In acid hydrolysis process - while reducing degree of polymerization - can be thus hydro module 1 :30 ratio used. When hydro module ratio is needed to be cut down the raw material must be subjected to drainage process. Depending on quality characteristic required on final powdered cellulose product, in method of this invention can be used following types of water - filtrated river water, decarbonised water or demineralised water.
Time of hydrolysis process
The usual time for reaching a required degree of polymerization comprises between 30 minutes to 8 hours, depending on raw material quality characteristics. The time depends also on temperature and pressure used.
Said method of invention describes a time regulation in reducing degree of polymerization what is performed through monitoring of cellulose viscosity in material that is being subjected to hydrolysis process. When required viscosity is reached, the process stops.
Blending
This method of invention describes a possibility of a static process in reducing degree of polymerization. After a required degree of polymerization is reached, final product has a powdered character what minimizes a need of blending before following phases.
In case of performing all process in high hydro module ratio (higher than 1 :10), blending is sufficient for homogenization.
Warming up
Warming up the material in a reactor is being performed through:
Entering a direct steam to water suspension, where also blending is provided through pressure of steam
- Indirect warming of water suspension.
Alkaline ennoblement
In case of using a lignin-cellulosed material which includes a higher amount of lignin and other extractive compounds, prior to reducing the degree of polymerization the process of alkaline ennoblement is integrated. Following alkaline mediums can be used: NaOH, KOH, and NA2C03.
Degradation of degree of polymerization in alkaline medium
Degradation for reducing the cellulose chain in raw material may be performed through alkaline medium action. Preferably alkaline medium NaOH is used as long as the best results are observed thus. The usual concentration of NaOH in solid is 0,5 - 10%w, temperature used comprises between 140 - 180°C, pressure 4 - 12 bars during time period between 30 minutes to 8 hours. Alkaline degradation might have best effect is oxygen or peroxide is being used.
Powdered cellulose isolation
After finishing hydrolysis process the powdered cellulose obtained has excellent pumping characteristics, even if hydrolysis is performed by hydro module with ratio 1:4 as well as excellent water-laid and filtration characteristics. This method of invention describes following steps by isolating the powdered cellulose.
Neutralization
After a required degree of polymerization is reached, a cake of powdered cellulose might be neutralized.
Water-laid washing
In this method of invention is washing performed through water, whose temperature needs to be lower than a temperature used in reactor. After adding water and decreasing internal temperature the process of degradation the polymerization degree is finished. In the same reactor it is possible subsequently perform a multiple powdered cellulose washing. The pH value achieved after neutralization and water-laid washing usually comprises between 3 - 5.
Acid solids from neutralization process might be consequently used for:
raw materials acidification
pH value adjustment before hydrolysis
hydro module adjustment.
While acid solids from washing are used a savings in mineral acids consumption is achieved.
Alkaline mediums
As alkaline mediums in this method of invention chemicals NaOH, NA2C03 CaO, Ca(OH)2 are being used and are added in chosen concentration to achieve requested pH value comprising between 5 - 7.
Thus neutralized product is water-laid washed and pumped into filtration process.
Filtrating the powdered cellulose
A very good characteristic of powdered cellulose to be easily filtrated is used in filtration process. Powdered cellulose is being condensed and while adding water from washing process, the inorganic impurities are being removed from final product.
Final phase in preparing powdered cellulose
After finishing all previous technological phases is powdered cellulose subjected to drying, grinding and granulation processes. The particle sizes are being adjusted to requested dimensions.
Depending on sort of raw material used is proceeds in powdered cellulose preparing comprising between 40 - 90% and the achieved degree of polymerization comprises between 100 - 400.
