Abstract

The invention discloses a method for dissolving chitosan through combined use of acid and alkali. The method comprises the steps of mixing lithium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, urea and water according to mass percentage, so as to obtain an alkaline aqueous solution; adding a chitosan raw material into an acetic solution or hydrochloric solution, and carrying out stirring dispersion for 20-60 seconds, so as to obtain a chitosan-containing solution; uniformly stirring and mixing the alkaline aqueous solution and the chitosan-containing solution according to the volume ratio of 1: 1, freezing and unfreezing, thereby obtaining a chitosan solution. According to the method, acidic-alkaline solvent systems are used in a combined manner, so that an alkaline system solution of chitosan is obtained, and the degradation of chitosan in an acidic solution is avoided; moreover, the processes of swelling and solvent system pre-cooling are not required, so that the dissolving time is shortened, and the dissolving efficiency is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for dissolving chitosan, in particular to a method for dissolving chitosan by combining acid and alkali. Background technique [0002] As the only natural alkaline polysaccharide, chitosan has a wide range of sources and abundant yield in nature. Chitosan has excellent biocompatibility and good biodegradability, and at the same time, its biological safety and low toxicity are very attractive. In addition, chitosan also has various biological activities, such as antibacterial properties and low immunogenicity. It has applications in medicine, environmental treatment, food industry, textile industry, etc., such as hemostatic and wound protection materials, heavy metal recovery, food additives, antibacterial fabrics, etc. [0003] The stability of chitosan solution has special and great significance for the application of chitosan. Chitosan can be dissolved in various inorganic acids and some organic acids, such as dil...
