Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the solvents for dissolving chitosan at home and abroad are basically various dilute acids, and chitosan is extremely unstable in acidic solvents, which will cause partial hydrolysis of the long chain of chitosan and cleavage of glycosidic bonds, resulting in a decrease in the molecular weight of chitosan. Reduced and polydispersed, resulting in reduced performance of chitosan products
In recent years, some new solvents have also appeared to dissolve chitosan. For example, CN 102168323A publicly reported that ionic liquids are used as solvents to dissolve chitosan. There are imidazole ionic liquids, pyridine ionic liquids, and morpholine ionic liquids. The selection range of polysaccharide solvents, and the performance of the prepared chitosan products are stable, but the dissolution time is long, and the price of ionic liquids is relatively expensive, which is not conducive to industrial production
In addition, patent 200810059135.X publicly reported a kind of alkaline solvent (NaOH 0.2~2%, KOH 0.1%~5% mixed aqueous solution) for dissolving chitosan (deacetylation degree is at 40%~70%), but using this Method When dissolving chitosan, first disperse chitosan in alkaline solution, let it fully swell, and then freeze and thaw several times repeatedly, so this method takes a long time and cannot quickly dissolve chitosan

Abstract

The invention discloses a basic solvent for dissolving chitosan and a method for dissolving chitosan under an alkaline condition. The basic solvent for dissolving chitosan comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 5% to 10% of sodium hydroxide, 8% to 13% of urea, 0.5% to 6% of celluloses and the balance of water. The content of chitosan in chitosan solution prepared through the method for dissolving chitosan is 0.5% to 4%, and the deacetylation degree of chitosan is 80% to 95%. The basic solvent adopts a physical way to dissolve chitosan, the solubility of chitosan and cellulose can reach 100%, and the transparent chitosan solution can be prepared.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solvent for dissolving chitosan and a method for dissolving chitosan, in particular to an alkaline solvent for dissolving chitosan and a method for dissolving chitosan under alkaline conditions. 2. Background technology [0002] Since the Frenchman Rouget first obtained chitosan in 1859, this natural polymer has been used by all walks of life because of its good adsorption, film-forming and permeability, fibrillation, hygroscopicity and moisture retention. It has been widely concerned by the industry, and has made significant progress in applied research in many fields such as medicine, food, chemical industry, cosmetics, water treatment, metal extraction and recovery, biochemical and biomedical engineering. Chitosan is the product of N-deacetylation of chitin, and the content of chitin in nature is second only to cellulose, and it is an abundant renewable resource. Therefore, for the current shortage of petroleum, it is n...
