The invention belongs to the technical field of nitrocotton preparation, and particularly relates to ultrahigh-
nitrogen nitrocotton and a preparation method thereof. In order to further improve the
nitration degree of B-grade nitrocotton, the invention provides a preparation method of nitrocotton with ultrahigh
nitrogen content, which comprises the following steps: carrying out
esterification reaction on defibered flocculent cotton and mixed acid in a
mass ratio of 1: (40-60) at 15-19 DEG C for 36-45 minutes, wherein the mixed acid contains 26-35 wt% of
nitric acid, 5.0-8.0 wt% of water, 0.5-0.8 wt% of
nitric oxide and the balance of
sulfuric acid. According to the method, the mixed acid formula in the
esterification reaction is improved, and the liquid-
solid ratio, the
reaction temperature and the reaction time are improved, so that the
nitrification degree of the B-grade nitrocotton is obviously improved, and the
nitrification degree is 216.5-218 mL / g. The improvement of the
nitration degree of the B-grade nitrocotton is a favorable support for improving the product energy and further improving the capacities of
propellant powder, propellants and the like.
