Definitions

• the invention relates to an organo-mineral complex obtainable by chemical degradation of cellulose, a process for producing such a complex and the applications thereof, in particular in construction.
• Cellulose the most abundant organic polymer in the biosphere, is a polysaccharide made up of glucose units connected by ⁇ (1-4) bonds, the number of which can reach several thousand. It is a linear polymer whose linking gives it a secondary structure which can be assimilated to a helix consisting of dimeric units of cellulobiosis at each step of the helix, and whose tertiary structure is a bundle of polysaccharide chains arranged. parallel to each other and in the same direction from the non-reducing end to the reducing end, forming microfibrils. In this structure come into play a considerable number of intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, at the origin of the remarkable mechanical strength of cellulose.
• FR2700163A1 discloses a process for the manufacture of a building material which is obtained by a reaction mixture comprising a suspension of cellulosic fibers from waste paper and cardboard, lime and a mono- or trivalent sulfate of metal salts like aluminum, in stoichiometric quantities.

• Such conditions lead to the formation of a calcium ligno-sulphoaluminate in the form of a paste which is pressed and then dried, or molded, and is then used to manufacture a structural element having mechanical and sound and thermal insulation properties.
• the Applicant has developed a method of chemical degradation of cellulose using quicklime, not hydrated lime, resulting in an organo-mineral complex different from those known.

• the invention relates to a calcio-cellulosic organo-mineral complex that can be obtained by reaction of quicklime on cellulose, in aqueous suspension.
• quicklime reacts with cellulose at a much higher rate than the hydration of quicklime in the aqueous medium, but the two reactions, having different kinetics, co-exist.
• a complex is formed, that of the invention, which consists of polysaccharide chains resulting from a rupture of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds of cellulose and a decarboxylation of the CH 2 OH group (carbon 6) carried by the carbon 5 of the units.
• glucose of cellulose associated with calcite CaCO 3 . This is formed by the reaction of the carbon dioxide released by said decarboxylation on Ca (OH) 2 from the hydration of quicklime in the reaction medium.

• at least 50% of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the cellulose are broken, preferably at least 75%, or even at least 90%, or even all.
• Decarboxylation of the CH 2 OH group carried by the carbon of the glucose units requires the rupture of the intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydrogen atom of the C6 hydroxyl group of the glucose unit concerned by the decarboxylation, and the atom of oxygen from the pyranic ring of the next glucose unit. During complex formation, other intramolecular hydrogen bonds can also be broken, without subsequent decarboxylation.
