The invention discloses
solvent-process high wet modulus
chitin fibers and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of textiles. The preparation method comprises the steps: (A) activating, to be specific, activating pulp dregs by
cellulase to obtain paste; (B) squeezing, to be specific, squeezing and dehydrating the paste to obtain water-containing
cellulose; (C) pre-dissolving, to be specific, mixing aqueous
cellulose, N-methylmorpholine-N-
oxide solution and a
chitin solution to obtain a pre-dissolved pulp; (D) dissolving, to be specific, dissolving the pre-dissolved pulp in a dissolving
machine to obtain a pulp; and (E)
spinning, to be specific, performing
spinning on the pulp to obtain the
solvent-process high wet modulus
chitin fibers. The preparation method has the advantages of good operation simplicity, zero
industrial pollution to production, low
energy consumption, high safety and suitability for large-scale industrial
continuous production. The prepared
solvent-process high wet modulus chitin fibers have high wet modulus, contain
protein components, and are good in breathability and air permeability, comfortable to wear, soft to touch and favorable for continuous
dyeing, are convenient to print and dye and are good for producing high-end fabrics.
