Problems solved by technology

Although the method is simple to operate and the reaction conditions are easy to control, there are problems such as complex post-treatment process, high requirements for production equipment, and difficult handling of reaction acid.
For example, CN101509209A discloses a preparation method of rod-shaped nanocellulose, which uses concentrated sulfuric acid with a concentration of 50%-65% to hydrolyze the cellulose raw material. The hydrolysis acid solution is difficult to handle, and the post-treatment process of the product is complicated and difficult to operate.
[0004] One of the ways to oxidize cellulose is: use N-oxygen compounds as cellulose oxidation catalysts to treat cellulose raw materials in the presence of sodium bromide and sodium hypochlorite, and can introduce carboxyl groups into cellulose macromolecules. During the reaction, the N-oxygen compound, sodium bromide and sodium hypochlorite react together to generate oxidizing nitrosonium ions, thereby oxidizing the C6 primary hydroxyl on the cellulose surface to carboxyl, and a small amount of nanofibers are also produced during the oxidation process. However, due to the high crystallinity of cellulose, it is difficult for the oxidizing agent to enter the interior of the cellulose crystallization region, resulting in too long reaction time
In addition, the processed cellulose raw material has a low concentration, the mass concentration is only about 1%, and the production efficiency is very low
CN101903572A discloses a method for manufacturing cellulose nanofibers. First, the cellulose raw material is oxidized, and then the oxidized cellulose is subjected to 12,000 rpm high-speed defibrillation treatment to obtain a cellulose nanofiber suspension. The method includes defibrilation treatment. High speed, high energy consumption, and high requirements for equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of nano-cellulose, comprising the following steps of: firstly, swelling the raw material cellulose by aqueous alkali, soaking for a while, centrifugally separating out cellulose, and washing by deionized water till the filter liquor is neutral; dispersing the separated cellulose in water, adding sodium bromide, 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl piperidine-1-oxide and sodium hypochlorite solution, carrying out an oxidation reaction under sonic oscillation, centrifugally separating after reaction, and carrying out freeze drying treatment on suspension liquid to obtain the nano-cellulose powder. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method is incompact in cellulose structure, can enlarge the unit cell distance, and can improve the reaction accessibility after the raw material cellulose is pretreated, so that the oxidation reaction efficiency can be improved, and the product yield can be obviously improved; the oxidation reaction conditions are mild, and are easy to control, and the product quality can not be influenced due to the fact that only a small quantity of sodium chloride and minute quantity of oxidizing agent are mixed in a reaction system after the reaction; and the sonic oscillation is adopted in the process of reaction, so that the oxidation reaction speed can be accelerated, and the reaction time can be obviously shortened.
