Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nanocellulose preparation, and particularly to a nanocellulose preparation device, lignin nanocellulose and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The raw material of nanocellulose is plant fiber, and the preparation methods are mainly divided into mechanical method and chemical method. A representative chemical method is the TEMPO (2,2,6,6 - tetramethylpiperidine - 1 - oxyl radical) oxidation method. Although this method can effectively obtain nanocellulose, the chemical reagent TEMPO used has characteristics such as very high toxicity and difficult recovery, so the production cost of this method is very high. The mechanical method mainly uses mechanical treatments such as crushing and grinding to nanofibrillate high - purity plant fibers. Currently, the equipment used for nanofibrillation in the market is mainly a high - pressure homogenizer or a microfluidic high - pressure homogenizer. Since it needs to carry out nanofibrillation under high pressure (generally between 800 bar and 1500 bar), the requirements and wear on equipment accessories are extremely high, and nanofibrillation needs to be carried out multiple times. Therefore, the energy consumption is high, the mechanical strength is large, and the production cost is also very high. In addition, currently, the nanocellulose in the market is generally prepared by chemical and mechanical methods using bleached fibers, and the prepared nanocellulose basically does not contain lignin, resulting in the inability to fully utilize the high mechanical properties, strong anti - aging property and antioxidant property of lignin.

[0003] For example, CN118087301A discloses a preparation method of lignin nanocellulose, which specifically includes carrying out one - pot acid pretreatment on lignocellulose biomass raw materials by mixing with two organic acids, citric acid and maleic acid, and then carrying out mechanical nanofibrillation treatment by using a high - pressure homogenizer; the pre - decomposition treatment step of this preparation method has a complex operation process, and still uses a high - pressure homogenizer for mechanical nanofibrillation treatment, with a large number of homogenization times and high pressure, which causes great wear on the high - pressure homogenizer, and the energy consumption and cost are high.

[0004] For example, CN110130136B discloses a preparation method of lignocellulose nanofibers, which specifically includes heating a delignified lignocellulose raw material by mixing with a deep eutectic solvent to obtain a swollen, delignified and surface - esterified lignocellulose mixture, and then carrying out mechanical treatment on the obtained mixture to obtain a surface - esterified lignocellulose nanofiber dispersion; finally, filtering, washing, separating and drying the dispersion to obtain lignocellulose nanofibers; this preparation method has a complex preparation process, consumes a large amount of reagents, and the nanofibrillation effect on lignocellulose still needs to be improved.

[0005] Therefore, how to develop a new nanocellulose preparation device and a preparation method of lignin nanocellulose to achieve low - cost preparation of small - size nanocellulose and lignin - containing nanocellulose is an urgent technical problem to be solved in the current field.

[0143] (1) Mix the plant fiber raw material and the first acetic acid solution with a mass concentration of 5 wt% at a mass ratio of 1:10, and perform the first hydrolysis at 140 °C and 0.6 MPa for 1 h, and then filter to obtain the first fiber solid;

[0144] (2) Mix the second acetic acid solution with a mass concentration of 90 wt% and the first fiber solid in step (1) at a mass ratio of 1:12, and perform the second hydrolysis at 160 °C and 0.8 MPa for 1 h, and then filter to obtain the second fiber solid; the second fiber solid is first pickled 4 times with the third acetic acid solution with a mass concentration of 90 wt%, then washed 4 times with water at 90 °C, then acid-treated with sulfuric acid with a mass concentration of 1 wt% for 60 min, and then neutralized with sodium hydroxide and washed a second time 3 times;

[0149] Example 4

[0150] This embodiment provides a nano-cellulose preparation device. Except for only one set of micro-nanoization components being provided, the rest are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0151] This embodiment also provides a method for preparing lignocellulose nano-cellulose. Except for using the nano-cellulose preparation device described in this embodiment, the rest are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0152] This embodiment also provides a lignocellulose nano-cellulose, which is prepared by the preparation method provided in this embodiment.

[0153] Since only one set of micro-nanoization components is provided in the nano-cellulose preparation device in this embodiment, when the micro-nanoization treatment component transports the cellulose after micro-nanoization treatment to the nanoization component, it is impossible to simultaneously perform the micro-nanoization treatment of new raw materials, that is, it is impossible to realize the continuous production of nano-cellulose, reducing the production efficiency.

[0154] Embodiment 5

[0155] This embodiment provides a nano-cellulose preparation device. Except for not having a buffer tank, the rest are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0156] This embodiment also provides a method for preparing lignocellulose nano-cellulose. Except for using the nano-cellulose preparation device described in this embodiment, the rest are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0157] This embodiment also provides a lignocellulose nano-cellulose, which is prepared by the preparation method provided in this embodiment.

[0158] Since the nano-cellulose preparation device in this embodiment does not have a buffer tank, the material transportation between homogenizers is unstable and the feeding is discontinuous, resulting in unstable pressure in the homogenizer, thus affecting the nanoization treatment effect and causing wear to the homogenizer, increasing the treatment energy consumption and cost.

[0159] Embodiment 6

[0160] This embodiment provides a method for preparing lignocellulose nano-cellulose. Except that the mass concentration of the first acetic acid solution used in the first hydrolysis in step (1) is 35 wt%, the rest are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0161] Embodiment 7

[0162] This embodiment provides a method for preparing lignocellulose nano-cellulose. Except that the mass concentration of the first acetic acid solution used in the first hydrolysis in step (1) is 4 wt%, the rest are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0163] Example 8

[0164] This example provides a method for preparing wood-based nanocellulose. Except that the working pressure of the first homogenizer in step (3) is 180 bar, the rest are the same as those in Example 1.

[0165] Example 9

[0166] This example provides a method for preparing wood-based nanocellulose. Except that the working pressure of the first homogenizer in step (3) is 1000 bar, that is, the working pressure of all homogenizers is high pressure, the rest are the same as those in Example 1.

[0167] II. Comparative Examples

[0168] Comparative Example 1

[0169] This comparative example provides a nanocellulose preparation device. Except that the nanosizing component has only 1 homogenizer, the rest are the same as those in Example 1.

[0170] This comparative example also provides a method for preparing wood-based nanocellulose. Except that the method uses the nanocellulose preparation device described in this comparative example in step (3), and the working pressure of the only 1 homogenizer is set to 1000 bar, the rest are the same as those in Example 1.

[0171] Comparative Example 2

[0172] This comparative example provides a nanocellulose preparation device. Except that the micro-nanosizing component is not provided, the rest are the same as those in Example 1.

[0173] This comparative example also provides a method for preparing wood-based nanocellulose. Except that the method uses the nanocellulose preparation device described in this comparative example, that is, directly performing nanosizing treatment after the pretreatment in step (3), the rest are the same as those in Example 1.

[0174] In this comparative example, since the micro-nanosizing component is not provided in the nanocellulose preparation device, the particles are too large and the high-pressure homogenizer cannot work.

[0175] Comparative Example 3

[0176] This comparative example provides a method for preparing wood-based nanocellulose. Except that step (1) is not carried out, that is, directly performing step (2) and step (3), the rest are the same as those in Example 1.

[0177] III. Tests and Their Results

[0178] ① Test the diameter distribution range, length distribution range of the prepared lignocellulose nanofibers obtained by the preparation methods provided in the above examples or comparative examples, and the content of nanofibers with a diameter < 100 nm. The results are shown in Table 1;

[0179] Table 1

[0180]

[0181]

[0182] Note: "-" in the table indicates no relevant data.

[0183] ② Test the contents of hemicellulose, lignin and cellulose in the lignocellulose nanofibers obtained by the preparation methods provided in Example 1, Example 6, Example 7 and Comparative Example 3 above respectively. The results are shown in Table 2;

[0184] Table 2

[0185]

[0186] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 and Table 2 that:

[0187] (1) It can be seen from Examples 1 to 3: The nanofiber preparation device and the preparation method of lignocellulose nanofibers provided by the present invention can prepare lignocellulose nanofibers with a diameter of 10 - 90 nm, a length ≤ 3 μm, a relatively narrow distribution range, good dispersion, a content of nanofibers with a diameter < 100 nm ≥ 85 wt%, and a lignin content ≥ 5 wt%, combining the excellent properties of nanofibers and lignin.

[0188] (2) From the comprehensive comparison of Example 1 with Example 4, Example 5, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that in Example 4, only one set of micro-nano components is provided. The diameter distribution range of the obtained lignocellulose nanocrystals is as wide as 10 - 1000 nm, the content of nanocellulose with a diameter < 100 nm is reduced to ≥ 70%, and continuous production cannot be achieved, resulting in low production efficiency. In Example 5, no buffer tank is set, resulting in poor nanonization effect, a relatively wide diameter distribution range of the obtained lignocellulose nanocrystals, and a low content of nanocellulose with a diameter < 100 nm. In Comparative Example 1, only one homogenizer is set, resulting in insufficient nanonization, a relatively large diameter of the obtained lignocellulose nanocrystals, and a low content of nanocellulose with a diameter < 100 nm. In Comparative Example 2, no micro-nano components are set, resulting in the raw material not being micro-nanonized after pretreatment, and the particles being too large to be directly nanonized by a high-pressure homogenizer. Thus, it is shown that the nanocellulose device of the present invention connects the pretreatment component, the micro-nano component and the nano component in sequence, and the nano component is set to include at least two homogenizing components connected in series, enabling the cellulose to be gradually degraded. Further, at least two sets of micro-nano components connected in parallel and buffer components between adjacent two homogenizing components are provided, significantly improving the nanonization effect, reducing the number of nanonization treatments, and reducing the wear on the high-pressure homogenizing components.

[0189] (3) From the comprehensive comparison of Example 1 with Example 6, Example 7 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that in Example 6, the mass concentration of the first acetic acid solution used in the first hydrolysis is relatively high, resulting in a weakened selective separation effect on hemicellulose, thereby reducing the lignin content in the subsequent obtained lignocellulose nanocrystals and resulting in relatively large particle sizes of the obtained nano-lignin. In Example 7, the mass concentration of the first acetic acid solution used in the first hydrolysis is relatively low, resulting in a poor separation effect on hemicellulose and lignin, and the structures among hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin cannot be fully destroyed, resulting in high hemicellulose and lignin contents in the obtained lignocellulose nanocrystals. In Comparative Example 3, no first hydrolysis is carried out, resulting in the remaining hemicellulose during the nanonization treatment, resulting in high hemicellulose and lignin contents in the obtained lignocellulose nanocrystals, and at the same time, nano-lignin cannot be separated out. Thus, it is shown that the preparation method of the lignocellulose nanocrystals of the present invention first carries out the first hydrolysis and the second hydrolysis in sequence before the treatment in step (3), and further preferably, the mass concentration of the first acetic acid solution used in the first hydrolysis is 5 wt% - 30 wt%, further reducing the burden of the nanonization treatment and improving the nanonization effect.

[0190] (4) It can be seen from the comprehensive implementation of Example 1, Example 8 and Example 9 that in Example 8, the working pressure of the first homogenizer is too low, resulting in a poor nanosizing effect at this stage, affecting the overall diameter of the finally obtained lignocellulose nanocrystals to be relatively large, and the content of nanocellulose with a diameter < 100 nm is relatively low; in Example 9, the working pressure of the first homogenizer is the same as that of the other homogenizers, which does not significantly improve the nanosizing effect, but instead increases the energy consumption and wear of the homogenizer, thus increasing the preparation cost.

[0191] In summary, the nanocellulose preparation device provided by the present invention can not only achieve a good nanosizing effect, but also reduce the number of nanosizing times, relieve the burden on the high-pressure homogenizer, and achieve continuous mass production; the preparation method of the lignocellulose nanocrystals provided by the present invention first performs the first hydrolysis and the second hydrolysis on the plant fiber raw material, and then uses the nanocellulose preparation device provided by the present invention for nanosizing treatment to prepare high-performance lignocellulose nanocrystals with a small diameter, a long length and containing lignin. The preparation method is simple, the process is short, and it is easy to achieve large-scale mass production.

[0192] The applicant declares that the above description is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention fall within the protection scope and the disclosure scope of the present invention.
