The invention belongs to the field of pulping and
papermaking, and particularly relates to an efficient cotton pulp cooking method based on
fiber wax coat pretreatment. According to the method, the cotton
fiber raw material is effectively pretreated to remove a
wax coat on the surface of the
fiber, so that the hydrophilicity and the liquid
medicine permeability of the fiber are improved. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out infiltration expansion treatment on a cotton fiber
raw material to loosen a
fiber structure; then, an alkaline solution and / or
enzyme are / is adopted for removing a
wax layer on the surface of the cotton fiber; and washing, neutralizing and then carrying out conventional alkaline cooking. Through the pretreatment process, the wax coat on the surface of the cotton fiber is effectively stripped, the
surface energy of the fiber is obviously improved, the liquid
medicine can quickly permeate into the fiber, and the cooking reaction is more uniform, so that the comprehensive effects of shortening the cooking time and improving the
slurry yield are realized. The method is easy and convenient to operate, low in environmental load and suitable for the preparation process of high-quality cotton pulp and
specialty paper raw materials.
