Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preprocessing a high crystallinity plant fiber in preparation of a micro-nano fibril. The microstructure of the high crystallinity plant fiber is dense, and nano fibril cellulose is prepared through a direct mechanical homogenizing method, so that the energy consumption is relatively high, and the fiber is not likely to divide. The high crystallinity plant fiber is mildly preprocessed through cellulose, the microstructure of the plant fiber is loosened, and the energy consumption in the later process of preparation of the nano fibril cellulose is reduced. The method comprises the following steps of adding a buffer solution and the cellulase in the high crystallinity plant fiber, stirring, reacting, and separating to obtain plant fiber residue and an enzymatic hydrolysate. The chosen cellulase can hydrolyze a glucosidic bond with a specific structure in the cellulose and cut off a macromolecular chain of the cellulose, so that the structure of the preprocessed fiber is much looser, and is favorable for dividing the fiber into the micro-nano fibril in the process of mechanical homogenization. The cellulase can be separated and recycled after the procedure of preprocessing, and the manufacturing cost of the high crystallinity micro-nano fibril is lowered on a certain degree.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biomass-based nanomaterials, in particular to a pretreatment method for preparing micro-nano fibrils from plant fibers with high crystallinity. Background technique [0002] Nanocellulose has shown great application prospects in high-performance composite nanomaterials due to its high strength, low density, biocompatibility, and renewability. According to different preparation methods and properties, nanocellulose is mainly divided into two categories: nanocrystalline cellulose and nanofibrillar cellulose. The process of preparing nanofibril cellulose by mechanical method is mainly a physical process with high yield. Compared with the preparation process of nanocrystalline cellulose, it is less corrosive to equipment and is widely used. However, the mechanical preparation of nanocellulose still has problems such as high energy consumption and blockage of pipelines due to excessive fiber size. Pretreatment of fiber...
