Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nanofiber material manufacturing, and particularly relates to a cellulose-based nanofiber material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The global oil spill accidents and the massive discharge of industrial and domestic oil-containing wastewater have caused disastrous damage to the ecosystem and human health, and effective separation of oil-water mixture is an urgent problem to be solved. Compared with traditional separation methods such as gravity method, centrifugal method and air floatation method, adsorption method and membrane separation method have attracted widespread attention due to low energy consumption, convenient operation and small secondary pollution. The porosity and wettability of the material are important parameters for controlling the oil-water separation efficiency. Usually, the "oil-removing" and "water-removing" porous materials with superhydrophobic or superhydrophilic properties can selectively separate one liquid from the oil-water mixture, but hinder the penetration of the liquid with opposite polarity. The existing phase separation materials, porous modified materials and one-dimensional / two-dimensional nanomaterials are generally processed from fluorine-containing petrochemical raw materials, which causes environmental pollution and waste of resources in the preparation process, cannot meet the current national development requirements for health, ecology, environmental protection and the like, and the materials themselves have defects such as low porosity, poor pore connectivity and high cost.

[0003] In recent years, the electrospinning method for preparing oil-water separation materials has attracted widespread attention from researchers. The nanofiber material is very suitable for oil-water separation due to its small fiber diameter, small pore size, high porosity and good pore connectivity. Cellulose is the most abundant natural renewable and naturally degradable green organic polymer on earth, and its homogeneous solution has spinnability. However, the existing cellulose dissolution technology can only realize electrospinning when N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO), LiCl / N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BmimCl) is used as the solvent, and the prepared nanofiber is seriously adhered and the morphology is difficult to control. In addition, the currently prepared electrospun nanofiber separation materials are mostly single-functional wettability materials. For example, it is reported that polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) nanofiber membranes are prepared by electrospinning technology, the fiber membranes are modified by modifying PVA hydrogel, and the cross-linked PVA hydrogel is coated on the fiber surface to form an oil-water separation material with hydrophilic and oleophobic properties through freezing and thawing steps. It is also reported that the prepared cellulose nitrate electrospun nanofiber membrane is immersed in amino silicone oil solution and fumed particle solution for 20-50 minutes and then dried to obtain an electrospun superhydrophobic membrane for oil-water separation. These materials have low oil-water separation efficiency, poor recycling performance and are easily contaminated on the membrane surface, which lacks flexibility and controllability in actual operation, limiting their application in on-demand automated oil-water separation.

[0034] To further clarify the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the predetermined object of the application, the following describes in detail the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects of the cellulose-based nanofiber material, the preparation method thereof and the application thereof according to the present application, combined with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "embodiments" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0035] The present application provides a preparation method of a cellulose-based nanofiber material, comprising the following steps:

[0036] S1 dissolving a cellulose raw material in an ionic liquid, then adding a non-protic solvent thereto to obtain an electrospinning solution; the electrospinning solution comprises, in terms of mass percentage: cellulose 4% to 6%, ionic liquid 10% to 76%, and non-protic solvent 20% to 84%; the aforementioned cellulose has a degree of polymerization of 100 to 1200;

[0037] S2 using the aforementioned electrospinning solution to perform spinning, the environmental humidity during spinning being 50% to 80% to obtain cellulose nanofiber;

[0038] S3 immersing the aforementioned cellulose nanofiber in a mixed solution of N-isopropyl acrylamide, a crosslinking agent and an initiator for 12h to 24h, then taking out the immersed cellulose nanofiber and immersing it in a tetramethyl ethylenediamine liquid for 12h to 24h to perform reaction, thereby obtaining a cellulose-based nanofiber material.

[0039] Specifically, in step S1, when the cellulose is dissolved, the dissolution temperature is 70-90°C, and the dissolution time is 1-4 hours, so that the obtained cellulose solution is transparent and uniform. The cellulose concentration is 4-6%, which is too low to be spun into a film; the concentration is too high, the solution viscosity increases, and the spinning cannot be extruded, which is easy to damage the instrument; the cellulose dissolution temperature is 70-90°C, and the dissolution time is 1-4 hours, which is too low or too short, and the cellulose cannot be dissolved; the temperature is too high or the time is too long, and the cellulose is easily degraded into glucose, which affects the performance of the subsequent material. The concentration of the ionic liquid is 10-76%, which can dissolve the cellulose, reduce the solution viscosity, and improve the conductivity, which is beneficial to spinning. The concentration is too low, and the cellulose cannot be dissolved; the concentration is too high, and the solution is difficult to solidify, and cannot be spun. The concentration of the aprotic solvent is 20-84%, which can effectively reduce the viscosity and surface tension of the spinning solution and improve its conductivity, and promote the formation of a stable Taylor cone. The cellulose polymerization degree is 100-1200, including microcrystalline cellulose, cotton linters, wood dissolving pulp, etc. The cellulose has poor mechanical and thermal stability, which affects the subsequent use; the polymerization degree is too high, and the cellulose is difficult to dissolve in the solvent, and the solution viscosity is too large, which cannot be spun.

[0040] In the process of electrospinning of the cellulose solution, a pre-coagulation device is added to adjust the humidity of the spinning environment, so that the humidity of the spinning environment is 50-80%. Under this humidity range, the dissolved cellulose in the electrospinning solution is regenerated, the electrospinning solution is coagulated, and the prepared cellulose nanofiber has uniform voids and less adhesion between the fibers. The method for spinning using the electrospinning solution is: moving the electrospinning solution into a syringe with a needle diameter of 1.4-1.8 mm, adjusting the distance between the needle and the drum receiver to 8-18 mm, adjusting the feeding rate to 0.0010-0.0040 mm / s, the rotating speed of the drum receiver is 100-2000 rpm, and a voltage of 10-20 kV is applied for spinning.

[0041] In the mixed solution, N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm) is used as monomer, N-N'methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) is used as crosslinking agent, ammonium persulfate (APS) is used as initiator, the concentration of NIPAAm is 2% to 6%, the concentration of MBA is 0.1% to 0.3%, and the concentration of APS is 0.5% to 2%. The cellulose nanofiber is immersed in the mixed solution for 12 to 24 hours to make it swell sufficiently. Then, the surface moisture is wiped dry with filter paper, and the product is immersed in tetramethyl ethylenediamine (TEMED) for 12 to 24 hours for reaction. After drying at room temperature or freeze-drying, the temperature-responsive cellulose-based nanofiber material is obtained. In the process, TEMED initiates the decomposition of ammonium persulfate to generate free radicals to promote the polymerization of NIPAAm, and a temperature-sensitive substance, poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide (PNIPAAm), is generated. The cellulose nanofiber and PNIPAAm form an interpenetrating polymer network.

[0042] The preparation method of the cellulose-based nanofiber material has at least the following advantages. Firstly, during the spinning process of the cellulose-based nanofiber material, the humidity of the spinning environment is controlled to be 50% to 80%. Under this humidity, the dissolved cellulose in the electrospinning solution is regenerated, and the electrospinning solution is coagulated. The prepared cellulose nanofiber has high porosity, connected voids, and is not easy to adhere between the fiber filaments. This improves the oil-water separation rate and separation efficiency of the subsequently prepared cellulose-based nanofiber material. Secondly, the temperature-responsive polymer poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide is interpenetrated into the cellulose nanofiber network in the form of a network by using the interpenetrating polymer network structure method. This makes the material have excellent mechanical properties, stability, and recyclability. Thirdly, the material has the characteristics of temperature-responsive oil-water separation. By controlling the temperature, the material can realize the transformation from hydrophilic to oleophilic, realize automatic oil-water separation on demand, and be more suitable for practical use.

[0043] Further, after the spinning in step S2, the product obtained by spinning is immersed in a coagulation liquid to regenerate cellulose. The coagulation liquid includes water and / or alcohol. During the spinning process, most of the cellulose in the electrospinning solution is regenerated under the action of the humidity of the pre-coagulation device, and the electrospinning solution is coagulated. However, a small amount of cellulose is still in a dissolved state, and a small amount of electrospinning solution is not coagulated on the nanofiber. Immersing the product obtained by spinning in a coagulation liquid can regenerate the cellulose and remove excess ionic liquid. Water and / or alcohol are used as the coagulation liquid because the double diffusion between the cellulose solution and water or alcohol is relatively mild, which is beneficial to form fibers with high overall orientation and perfect crystallization, thereby improving the mechanical properties, stability, and recyclability of the material.

[0044] Further, in step S1, the electrospinning solution further comprises: 0.2% to 1.5% of soluble ferric salt and 0.4% to 3% of soluble ferrous salt; and after the spinning in step S2, the method further comprises the following steps: immersing the spinning product into a sodium hydroxide solution, so that the soluble ferric salt and the soluble ferrous salt react with the sodium hydroxide to generate nano-magnetic ferrite, and then washing with water to remove residual sodium hydroxide.

[0045] Specifically, the nano-magnetic ferrite is embedded into the cellulose nanofiber by an in-situ embedding method, so as to become a stable photo-thermal conversion medium. Then, the temperature-responsive polymer poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide is penetrated into the cellulose nanofiber network in a network form by an interpenetrating polymer network structure method, and the poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide is combined with the nano-magnetic ferrite, so that the temperature response is changed into a photo-thermal response, the material has the photo-thermal response oil-water separation characteristic, and the material has more excellent mechanical properties, stability and recycling performance.

[0046] Further, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 0.05 mol / L to 0.2 mol / L, the immersion time in the sodium hydroxide solution is 3 h to 6 h, and the washing time is 30 min to 40 min.

[0047] Specifically, by adjusting the concentration of sodium hydroxide, the nano-magnetic ferrite particles are controllably loaded on the electrospun nanofiber, and the material changes from white before treatment to black, which indicates that the loading is successful. When the penetration percentage of the ferrite nano-particles in the material is greater than 30 wt% and the size is small, the photo-thermal conversion efficiency of the material is higher.

[0048] Further, after the reaction in step S3, the method further comprises the following steps: immersing the reaction product into a 10% to 20% amino silane coupling agent solution for 5 h to 12 h, taking out and air-drying, and then placing at 100°C to 120°C for 1 h to 3 h.

[0049] Specifically, the amino silane coupling agent is one or more of 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyl methyl dimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyl(diethoxyl)methylsilane, 3-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyl-trimethoxysilane, 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl methyl dimethoxysilane, N-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane, or N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane.

[0050] The temperature-responsive or photo-thermal-responsive nanofiber is immersed into the amino silane coupling agent solution, taken out and air-dried, and then subjected to a thermal reaction, so as to graft the amino groups on the surface of the cellulose, and the grafting rate is greater than 1.5 mg / cm 2The amino group is protonated under acidic conditions to form a positively charged amino group, and the protonated fragment changes to a stretched conformation and extends, and the material has a higher affinity for water; in a neutral or alkaline environment, the protons are removed by hydroxide ions in the solution, and the segments of the molecular chain exhibit a collapsed conformation, and the exposed hydrophobic chains dominate the surface wettability, at this time, the material exhibits hydrophobicity and lipophilicity. When temperature and pH are simultaneously responsive, the oil-water separation efficiency can be further improved. In addition, the protonated amino group, as a polycation, interacts with the negatively charged surface of bacteria, can destroy the cell wall of bacteria, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death, making the material have excellent antibacterial performance.

[0051] Further, the aforementioned environmental humidity is 70% to 80%. The cellulose nanofiber prepared at this humidity has high porosity, interconnected voids, and is not prone to adhesion between fiber filaments, which improves the oil-water separation rate and oil-water separation efficiency of the subsequently prepared cellulose-based nanofiber material.

[0052] Further, the ionic liquid is a methyl imidazole salt, a 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene acid salt, or a 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene acid salt. Among the aforementioned ionic liquids, the cellulose has good solubility, the cellulose solution is uniform, and the linear viscoelasticity is excellent, which is more conducive to spinning.

[0053] Further, the ionic liquid is a 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl), a 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene acetate ([DBUH][CH3COO]), a 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene methoxyacetate ([DBUH][CH3OCH2COO]), a 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene ethoxyacetate ([DBUH][CH3CH2OCH2COO]), a 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene acetate ([DBNH][CH3COO]), a 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene methoxyacetate ([DBNH][CH3OCH2COO]), or a 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene ethoxyacetate ([DBNH][CH3CH2OCH2COO]). Among the aforementioned ionic liquids, the cellulose has good solubility, the cellulose solution is uniform, and the linear viscoelasticity is excellent, which is more conducive to spinning.

[0054] Further, the aprotic solvent is one or more of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) or N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The addition of the aforementioned aprotic solvent has no effect on the cellulose solubility, and reduces the viscosity and surface tension of the cellulose solution, and increases the conductivity, which is more conducive to spinning.

[0055] Further, the aprotic solvent is dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and / or N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The addition of the aforementioned aprotic solvent has no effect on the cellulose solubility, and reduces the viscosity and surface tension of the cellulose solution, and increases the conductivity, which is more conducive to spinning.

[0056] The cellulose-based nanofiber material according to the present application comprises cellulose nanofibers and poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide;

[0057] The aforementioned cellulose nanofibers are obtained by electrospinning a solution, and the electrospinning solution comprises, in percentage by mass: 4-6% cellulose, 10-76% ionic liquid and 20-84% aprotic solvent; the aforementioned cellulose has a degree of polymerization of 100-1200;

[0058] The aforementioned cellulose nanofibers form an interpenetrating polymer network with the poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide.

[0059] Further, the aforementioned cellulose-based nanofiber material is prepared by any of the aforementioned preparation methods.

[0060] The present application provides the use of any of the aforementioned cellulose-based nanofiber materials in the field of oil-water separation, which can provide technical support for the treatment of offshore oil spill accidents and industrial and domestic oil-containing wastewater.

[0061] The present application will be further described in conjunction with specific examples, but it should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Some non-essential improvements and adjustments made by those skilled in the art based on the content of the present application still fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used should be the usual meaning understood by those skilled in the art in the field to which the present application belongs.

[0063] In the following examples and comparative examples:

[0064] The cellulose raw material used is dissolving pulp, which has a cellulose content of >90%.

[0065] Photo-thermal conversion performance detection method: Xenon lamp (CEL-HXUV300) was used to simulate sunlight (300 mW·cm -2 ), which was placed at a linear distance of 10 cm from the film.

The film was placed on the measurement platform, the viewing angle was adjusted, and 5 μL of water droplets (pH = 2, pH = 7, pH = 11) were added to the film surface. Young's formula was used to fit the profile image when the water droplet just contacted the film, and the water contact angle was calculated.

All emulsions had no obvious demulsification or precipitation within 24 h. 30 mL of emulsion was poured into a separation device for gravity separation, and the xenon lamp was placed at a distance of 10 cm from the filter module. The formula Flux = V / (S x t) was used to calculate the separation flux, where V (L) was the emulsion volume, S (m 2 ) was the effective area of the filter material, and t (h) represented the separation time. In addition, COD removal rate was used as an indicator to evaluate the separation efficiency, and the formula SE (%) = (COD1-COD2) / COD1 x 100% was used, where SE represented the separation efficiency, and COD1 and COD2 were the COD values of the feed emulsion and the filtrate, respectively. The same film material was used multiple times for oil-water separation to explore its recycling performance.

[0068] Antibacterial detection method: 5 cm 2 of the film was immersed in 10 mL of bacterial suspension (Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus) with a concentration of 1 x 10 6 CFU / mL, and incubated at 120 rpm in a 37°C shaking incubator for 6 h. The OD value of the solution at 600 nm was measured, and the formula antibacterial rate (%) = (OD control-OD experiment) / OD control x 100% was used to calculate the antibacterial rate.

The formulation of the electrospinning solution is: 10 g of ionic liquid [DBUH][CH3CH2OCH2COO], 1 g of dissolving pulp (cellulose degree of polymerization is 550), 0.05 g of ferric chloride hexahydrate, 0.1 g of ferrous chloride tetrahydrate, and 10 g of DMSO.

[0071] The preparation method of the electrospinning solution is: weigh the ionic liquid in a beaker, preheat to 80°C. Under 100 rpm magnetic stirring, add ferric chloride hexahydrate and ferrous chloride tetrahydrate, and then add dissolving pulp after complete transparency. Heat at 90°C for 1.5 h until the cellulose is completely dissolved. Then slowly add DMSO under stirring at room temperature to obtain the electrospinning solution.

[0072] Transfer the electrospinning solution to a syringe, the diameter of the needle is 1.8 mm, the distance between the needle and the receiver is 12 mm, control the local humidity at 80%, and the micro pump pushes the cellulose solution to the needle tip at a rate of 0.0020 mm / s. Apply a high voltage of 15 kv for spinning, and set the rotating speed of the drum receiver to 500 r / min.
