Problems solved by technology

Separation and purification steps require additional procedures and energy consumption, which is very unfavorable for large-scale production
[0007] In addition, the current methods for preparing chitin microspheres using NaOH / urea aqueous solution (CN 105771823 A, CN104624130 A) all require strict temperature control in an ice-water bath, which is very unfavorable for industrial applications

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for continuously preparing chitin/chitosan microsphere materials with different deacetylation degrees. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly mixing chitin with a potassium hydroxide solution, heating to carry out deacetylation reaction, then adding water into the mixture of chitosan and the potassium hydroxide solution to dilute to a certainconcentration, cooling, adding a stabilizer, and continuously stirring at a temperature above the freezing point to quickly dissolve the chitosan and the potassium hydroxide solution; and preparing an emulsion from an alkaline aqueous solution in which chitin/chitosan is dissolved and an oil phase through a membrane emulsifier, microfluidic equipment and a conventional stirring device, convertingchitin/chitosan emulsion droplets into chitin/chitosan microspheres by using a coagulator, and washing and drying the microspheres to obtain a microsphere finished product. Functional components areintroduced in the microsphere preparation process, and the functional microsphere material is obtained. The prepared microspheres are carbonized to obtain the nitrogen element doped carbon aerogel microspheres. Discontinuity caused by separation and purification steps in the process of preparing chitin/chitosan microsphere materials with different deacetylation degrees is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of natural macromolecules and macromolecular materials, relates to chitin / chitosan microspheres with different degrees of deacetylation, in particular to a method for continuously preparing chitin / chitosan microspheres with different degrees of deacetylation. Background technique [0002] The reserves of chitin and chitosan in nature are a class of natural polymers second only to cellulose. Chitosan is the product of deacetylation of chitin. When the N-deacetylation degree of chitin is above 55%, chitin is transformed into chitosan. [0003] Chitin and chitosan microsphere materials are multifunctional polymer materials with a certain size prepared by dissolving, emulsifying, gelling and other processes with chitin and chitosan as the main raw materials. Chitin and chitosan microsphere materials not only have good biocompatibility and biodegradability, can promote wound healing, have hemostatic effect, and are widely...
