Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a method for dissolving cellulose for application, in particular a method for dissolving cellulose by using an organic base-COS-organic solvent dissolving system and the application of cellulose solution. BACKGROUND

[0002] As one of the important materials to promote the development of human civilization, high molecular materials have played a very important role in the process of human modern civilization development. However, most of the traditional high molecular materials are obtained from petroleum, and the large-scale use of them not only brings great consumption of non-renewable resources, but also causes great pressure on the environment. The research on the preparation of sustainable high molecular new materials from plants has attracted much attention.

[0003] Cellulose is the main component of plant cell wall and is a biorenewable resource that can be taken indefinitely and used indefinitely. Due to its renewable, cheap, biodegradable, easy surface modification, good mechanical properties and low density, it is of great significance to use the natural polymer skeleton of cellulose to construct green high molecular new materials to promote the sustainable development of human society.

[0004] In the application of cellulose in the construction of green high molecular new materials, it is necessary to dissolve cellulose to obtain cellulose solution. However, due to the existence of a large number of intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the structure of cellulose, it cannot be melt processed or dissolved in water and traditional organic solvents. Therefore, the research and development of cellulose dissolving system has attracted much attention from researchers.

[0005] In the traditional method of dissolving cellulose, the main methods include viscose method, cuprammonium method, cadmium / ethylenediamine solution, lithium chloride / dimethylacetamide method, 4-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO), NaOH / CS2 and carbamate solvent method. In addition, recent research results show that cellulose also has good dissolving effect in new ionic liquid, sodium hydroxide / urea aqueous solution and CO2-based reversible solvent system.

[0006] However, these traditional cellulose dissolution methods still have some problems in practical application, for example: the preparation cost of ionic liquid is relatively high, the production cost is increased in the preparation process, in addition, the recovery of ionic liquid needs complex process and equipment; the dissolution of cellulose in alkali / urea aqueous solution system generally needs to be carried out at low temperature, so the dissolution conditions are relatively harsh, in addition, the stability of the dissolution system is affected by external factors such as temperature and stirring, and the stability of the dissolution system is poor; although the CO2-based reversible solvent system has low cost and relatively simple post-processing, the stability of the dissolution system is also high, but the viscosity of the dissolution system is relatively large, and the dispersibility in the reaction system is poor in subsequent application, and the reaction speed is slow; in addition, the cellulose dissolved in the CO2-based reversible solvent system has limited functions, which cannot meet the needs of multifunctional derivatization of cellulose, for example, when preparing sulfur-containing cellulose derivatives, the cellulose needs to be dissolved first, and then a thiol reaction is carried out to obtain sulfur-containing cellulose.

[0007] Therefore, it is of great significance to further expand the application of cellulose in the field of new polymer materials by researching and developing different cellulose dissolution methods to reduce the dissolution cost, simplify the dissolution process, improve the dissolution stability, facilitate subsequent application and expand the functionality.

Attached Figure Description

[0042] Figure 1 The image shows a polarized light microscope image of microcrystalline cellulose dissolved by reacting COS at 30°C for 4 hours under a pressure of 1.0 MPa. The polarized light microscope image shows that the microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is completely dissolved, which fully demonstrates that the new DBU / COS / DMSO dissolution system has good dissolving ability for cellulose under these conditions.

[0043] Figure 2 The image shows a comparison of XRD patterns between dissolved microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and pure cellulose after reacting with COS at 1.0 MPa at 30°C for 4 hours. In the image of undissolved microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), distinct characteristic diffraction peaks are observed at 2θ = 15.3°, 22.4°, and 34.3°, indicating that the original MCC crystal structure belongs to cellulose type I. Conversely, the regenerated cellulose (R-MCC) obtained by dissolving and reprecipitating MCC using the dissolution system of this invention under the same conditions only shows a broad single characteristic diffraction peak at 2θ = 19.64°, indicating that the dissolved and regenerated MCC has an amorphous structure, and that the crystal structure of the MCC has completely changed after dissolution.

[0044] Figure 3 This is a real-time infrared spectrum of cellulose dissolution; from the real-time infrared spectrum, it can be seen that as the reaction time increases, NH... + (2350~2650cm -1 C=O(1550~1700cm) -1 COR (1160~1260cm) -1 ) and NH (840~760cm -1 The characteristic peak intensity of the reaction was significantly enhanced, and the peak intensity did not change when the reaction time was extended to 4 hours, indicating that cellulose could be completely dissolved after being pressed at 1.0 MPa and reacted at 30℃ for 4 hours.

[0045] Figure 4 A comparative rheological test diagram showing the dissolution of 5 wt% cellulose in the DBU / CO2 / DMSO system and the organic base-COS-organic solvent system of this invention. The diagram clearly shows that the cellulose solution dissolved using the system of this invention exhibits dilute solution behavior, typical of Newtonian fluids; while the cellulose solution dissolved using the DBU / CO2 / DMSO system shows an increase in apparent viscosity, exhibiting shear thinning in the low shear rate region, and an increase in cellulose solution concentration, indicating stronger intermolecular forces.

[0154] Example 29

[0155] Take 5wt% of microcrystalline cellulose, 15wt% of organic base 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene (DBU), and the rest of the organic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), then mix them and add them into the reaction kettle, cover the reaction kettle;
