Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cellulose ester preparation, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing cellulose ester by using an acidic ionic liquid as a catalyst. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer provided by plants and other resources, but the characteristics of its natural form limit its application. Cellulose derivatization is one of the common methods for expanding its use by improving its performance. Cellulose can react with different chemicals, including acids, acid anhydrides or other substances, to generate cellulose products with high added value. Among them, cellulose acetate is the most important organic acid ester of cellulose, which has been widely used for about 150 years. It can be used to produce biodegradable films, membranes, plastic materials, biomedical applications, and raw materials for textiles or cigarette filters. The global cellulose acetate market value is 6.15 billion US dollars, and it is expected to grow at a rate of 8.9% per year, reaching 10.25 billion US dollars by 2028. Cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate are also important cellulose organic acid ester derivatives, which are widely used as additives in the coating industry.

[0003] Cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate are all generated by acylation of cellulose. On an industrial scale, cellulose is catalyzed by sulfuric acid, and excess acetic acid and acetic anhydride, propionic acid and propionic anhydride, butyric acid and butyric anhydride, as well as different acid compound and different acid anhydride compound, are used as reaction medium and acylation agent, respectively, to prepare cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate. Due to the uncontrollable nature of the acylation process, cellulose ester needs to be further processed, such as hydrolysis, to obtain partially substituted cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate. Although inorganic strong acids such as sulfuric acid have good catalytic activity, they may cause structural damage to the cellulose chain during the reaction process, thereby affecting the overall quality of the product and may also lead to the formation of by-products. Therefore, it is crucial to find more efficient and environmentally friendly catalysts for synthesizing cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate.

[0004] Ionic liquids are molten salts that are liquid at relatively low temperatures and are composed of specific organic cations containing elements such as N and P and organic or inorganic anions through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Due to their structural asymmetry and the adjustable nature of their anions and cations, ionic liquids exhibit many unique physicochemical properties, such as high stability, excellent designability, and easy directional functionalization. These properties have given ionic liquids significant advantages and promising prospects in practical applications. Ionic liquids can meet the specific requirements of different catalytic reactions for solvents and catalysts by simply adjusting the type of anions and cations, making their use as solvents or catalysts in reactions a hot topic in research. Currently, acidic ionic liquids containing bisulfate have been widely used in various esterification and hydrolysis reactions, achieving excellent catalytic results.

[0005] Therefore, in order to meet the requirement of acidic catalysts for the cellulose acylation and hydrolysis reactions involved in the production of cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate, the design and development of acidic ionic liquid catalysts with low cost and easy synthesis will help overcome the problems of traditional sulfuric acid catalysts being highly corrosive and difficult to reuse, which is of great significance for promoting the green and efficient production of cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate.

[0006] Currently, a variety of ionic liquids have been developed for the synthesis of cellulose esters. Patent (CN 103613672 A) discloses the use of N-methylimidazole hydrochloride, N-methylimidazole hydrogen sulfate, and 1-vinyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)imidazolium hydrogen sulfate for catalytic synthesis of cellulose acetate; Patent (CN 104130332 A) discloses a method for synthesizing cellulose esters catalyzed by 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole hydrogen sulfate ionic liquid; and Patent (CN116606381 B) discloses a method for synthesizing cellulose triacetate catalyzed by 1-allyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ionic liquid. Although the above ionic liquids all exhibited excellent catalytic effects in cellulose ester synthesis, they are all imidazolium-based ionic liquids, which are susceptible to deactivation. This is because the imidazolium salts are easily deprotonated at the C2 position to produce active nucleophiles, which then react with electrophiles such as aldehydes, alkyl halides, ethyl formate, acetic anhydride, and isothiocyanates. Therefore, the development of non-imidazole ionic liquid acidic catalysts for cellulose ester synthesis is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0041]

[0042] Table 1 shows that the cellulose acetates synthesized using the three ionic liquids all exhibited high degrees of polymerization. Furthermore, the total degree of acetyl substitution in the three samples was similar. However, the differences in catalysts resulted in differences in the uniformity of the substituent distribution at C-2, C-3, and C-6 on the glucose ring. This is likely due to the varying solubility properties of the acidic ionic liquids, which directly led to the differences in the uniformity of the substituent distribution at the C-2, C-3, and C-6 positions in the cellulose acetate.
