Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plant fiber processing, and more specifically, to a method for preparing environmentally friendly plant fibers for tableware and a product thereof. Background Art

[0002] my country has a large population, and the demand for plastic fast food packaging boxes and plastic packaging bags is very large. These plastic products exist in the natural environment for a long time, which will destroy the soil structure, affect plant growth, pollute groundwater and oceans, and pose a serious threat to the ecological environment. With the implementation of plastic restriction policies at home and abroad, the theme of sustainability has become a new trend in packaging upgrades and consumption upgrades.

[0003] With the implementation of the "plastic restriction policy" and the reduction of foreign waste quotas, as the demand for packaging boxes and bags in my country grows rapidly, a large gap in plant fiber has been created. Recyclable and easily degradable plant fibers can replace foam and plastic cushioning packaging materials, and are an ideal choice to replace traditional plastic products and eliminate white pollution.

[0004] Commonly used plant fibers are mainly bamboo fiber, wood fiber, sugarcane fiber and straw fiber. Among them, bamboo fiber has high strength and toughness, so that fast food boxes and packaging bags can withstand a certain weight and pressure, and are not easy to break. In addition, bamboo fiber has good wear resistance and can resist wear and tear in daily use. It is an ideal material for preparing fast food packaging boxes and packaging bags. However, if fast food packaging boxes and packaging bags prepared mainly with bamboo fiber are easy to absorb moisture in a humid environment, resulting in deformation or damage, the main reason is that the fiber structure of bamboo fiber makes it have a certain hygroscopicity and easily absorbs moisture in the air. In order to improve the waterproofness of fast food packaging boxes and packaging bags prepared mainly with bamboo fiber, a layer of waterproof coating is usually applied on the surface, but the waterproof coating is mainly formed by non-degradable high molecular polymers, such as polyurethane waterproof coating, polyvinyl chloride waterproof coating, etc., which are difficult to degrade materials and will affect the degradation of corresponding products. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the moisture-proof performance of bamboo fiber and ensure that the corresponding products can be completely degraded, the present application provides a method for preparing environmentally friendly plant fiber for tableware and its products.

[0006] In the first aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing environmentally friendly plant fibers for tableware, which adopts the following technical scheme: A method for preparing environmentally friendly plant fibers for tableware, comprising the following preparation steps: S1, collecting bamboo, crushing the bamboo into flakes, soaking the crushed bamboo in an alkaline solution at a temperature of 40-50° C., taking out, grinding, and obtaining ground bamboo powder; S2, soaking the dried bamboo in the enzymatic hydrolysis solution for 6-8 hours at a temperature of 50-60°C, filtering and taking the filter residue; S3, soak the filter residue in an alkaline solution for 2-3 hours at a temperature of 70-80°C, filter and take the filter residue; S4, boiling the filter residue in a salt solution for 1-2 hours at a temperature of 100-110° C., filtering, and taking the filter residue, wherein the salt solution is obtained by mixing sodium thiosulfate, sodium chloride, potassium phosphate, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, and water; S5, washing the filter residue with water, and drying it to obtain a primary product; S6, mixing the primary product and wax at 70-80° C., wherein the amount of the wax is 4-8% by weight of the primary product, to obtain a semi-finished product; S7, mixing the semi-finished product, polylactic acid, hydroxy silane coupling agent, glycerin, mica powder, castor oil and chitosan, and melt-extruding to obtain environmentally friendly plant fibers for tableware.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the environmentally friendly plant fiber for tableware prepared by the method has good waterproof performance, so that fast food packaging boxes and packaging bags mainly made of bamboo fiber are not easy to absorb moisture in a humid environment, avoiding the problem of deformation or damage. At the same time, by adding polylactic acid, hydroxy silane coupling agent, glycerol, mica powder, castor oil and chitosan to participate in the preparation of fibers, the strength and deformation resistance of the environmentally friendly plant fiber for tableware are further improved, and these raw materials are all degradable materials, ensuring that the environmentally friendly plant fiber for tableware can be completely degraded after being discarded and will not cause pollution to the environment. This environmentally friendly plant fiber can be directly used to prepare fast food packaging boxes or packaging bags without adding any auxiliary materials.

[0008] In step S1, crushing the bamboo can destroy its original fiber structure, making the fibers easier to disperse and extract. At the same time, soaking in warm water can soften the bamboo and further promote the separation of fibers. By controlling the conditions of soaking and air drying, the water content of the bamboo can be adjusted. The appropriate water content helps the uniform dispersion and processing of the fibers in the subsequent steps. Regular water spraying helps the fibers to interweave and combine with each other, providing a good basis for subsequent fiber extraction.

[0009] In step S2, the enzymatic solution can destroy part of the lignin and hemicellulose in the bamboo fiber, making the fiber structure looser, which is conducive to the penetration and combination of other substances in the subsequent treatment process. At the same time, the enzymatic treatment can also remove some impurities in the fiber and improve the purity of the fiber.

[0010] In step S3, the alkaline solution can further remove impurities in the bamboo fiber, make its surface rougher, and increase the bonding force with other materials. At the same time, the alkaline treatment also helps to improve the hygroscopicity and dimensional stability of the bamboo fiber.

[0011] In step S4, the ions in the salt solution can react with the functional groups on the surface of the bamboo fiber to form chemical bonds, thereby enhancing the bonding force between the fibers. At the same time, the boiling process of the salt solution also helps to further remove moisture and volatile substances in the fibers, thereby improving the stability of the fibers.

[0012] In step S6, the wax is mixed with the primary product to form a thin waterproof layer on the surface of the bamboo fiber to prevent water penetration. At the same time, the wax material also has a certain lubricating effect, which helps to smoothly carry out the subsequent melt extrusion process.

[0013] In step S7, polylactic acid can be tightly combined with bamboo fiber to form a continuous network structure, thereby improving the strength and toughness of the product. Hydroxysilane coupling agent is a compound with a bifunctional group, one end of which can react with the hydroxyl group on the surface of bamboo fiber, and the other end can react with polymers such as polylactic acid. Therefore, it can act as a bridge, tightly connecting bamboo fiber and polymer together, and enhancing the bonding force of the interface. Glycerin can increase the flexibility and plasticity of the product; mica powder, as an inorganic filler, can enhance the mechanical strength of the product and improve the heat resistance of bamboo fiber; castor oil can improve the processing performance and lubricity of the product. Chitosan has certain strength and toughness. In the process of fiber preparation, the addition of chitosan can further enhance the physical properties of the fiber, such as strength, toughness, etc., which helps to improve the durability and service life of the product.

[0014] Preferably, the enzymatic hydrolysis solution is obtained by mixing xylanase, lignin degrading enzyme, hemicellulase, glyoxal oxidase, catalase and solvent in a weight ratio of (0.2-0.5):(0.1-0.3):(0.2-0.5):(0.05-0.1):(0.05-0.15):10.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and optimizing the type and amount of enzymes in the enzymatic hydrolysate, the xylan, lignin and hemicellulose components in the bamboo fiber can be efficiently degraded, making the bamboo fiber structure looser, which is conducive to the penetration and combination of other substances in the subsequent processing steps. The bamboo fiber treated with the above enzymatic hydrolysate maintains the original high strength and toughness, and has good wear resistance and tear resistance. At the same time, the roughness and activity of the bamboo fiber surface are increased, making it easier to combine with other materials (such as polylactic acid, glycerol, etc.) to form a tight network structure, thereby improving the strength and toughness of the product.

[0016] Preferably, the weight ratio of sodium thiosulfate, sodium chloride, potassium phosphate, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate and water is (0.2-0.4):(1-2):(0.5-1):(0.5-0.8):(1-1.5):12.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the dosage of sodium thiosulfate, sodium chloride, potassium phosphate, potassium chloride, potassium sulfate and water is optimized to further increase the stability and strength of the fiber. The sodium thiosulfate and sodium chloride in this ratio can adjust the ionic strength and pH value of the solution, which helps to enhance the stability of the fiber during the preparation process and prevent the fiber from being damaged by chemical changes. The synergistic effect of potassium phosphate, potassium chloride and potassium sulfate can further consolidate the fiber structure, improve the strength and toughness of the fiber, and make it more durable.

[0018] Preferably, the concentration of sodium hydroxide in the alkaline solution is 10-20 g / L, the concentration of calcium hydroxide is 5-10 g / L and the concentration of sodium bicarbonate is 15-20 g / L.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the composition and concentration of the alkaline solution are optimized, and the strength and toughness of the bamboo fiber are further improved, while ensuring that the degradation performance of the bamboo fiber is not affected.

[0020] Preferably, the weight ratio of the semi-finished product, the polylactic acid, the hydroxysilane coupling agent, the glycerol, the mica powder, the castor oil and the chitosan is 20:(3-6)(0.5-1):(1-2):(4-6):(2-3):(2-4).

[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, the weight of various raw materials is optimized, and the overall strength, waterproof and moisture-proof properties, tear resistance and toughness of environmentally friendly plant fibers are further enhanced, so that they can withstand greater weight and pressure and are not easily damaged. By adding an appropriate amount of polylactic acid to increase the overall strength and toughness of plant fibers, plant fibers can be directly prepared into fast food packaging boxes and packaging bags; an appropriate amount of chitosan and mica powder can improve the wear resistance and tear resistance of plant fibers, so that they can resist wear and tear in daily use, extending the service life of the product.

[0022] Preferably, the mica powder is modified mica powder, which is prepared by the following method: 1) mixing an aminosilane coupling agent and a solvent to obtain a mixed solution; 2) mixing mica powder and hydrogen peroxide, heating and stirring to react, to obtain hydroxylated mica powder; 3) The mixed solution and the hydroxylated mica powder are blended, ultrasonically heated at 70-90° C. for 1-2 hours, filtered, rinsed with ethanol, filtered, the filter residue is collected, and dried to obtain the modified mica powder.

[0023] Preferably, the weight parts of the raw materials used to prepare the modified mica powder are as follows: Aminosilane coupling agent 0.2-0.5 parts Solvent 5-10 parts 2-3 parts mica powder 4-6 parts of hydrogen peroxide.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the dispersibility of mica powder is further improved, and the interfacial compatibility of plant fiber mica powder and polymer materials such as polylactic acid is poor, which easily leads to loose interface bonding, and defects and cracks are easily generated inside the fiber, thus affecting the overall performance of the plant fiber, such as strength and toughness. The functional groups of aminosilane coupling agent are introduced into the surface of the modified mica powder. These functional groups can form chemical bonds or hydrogen bonds with components such as polylactic acid and glycerol, thereby enhancing the interfacial bonding force, helping to improve the overall strength and toughness of the plant fiber and reduce the generation of internal defects and cracks.

[0025] Preferably, the aminosilane coupling agent includes at least one of 3-aminopropyltrimethylsilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, N-(aminoethyl)-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-(aminoethyl)-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-(aminoethyl)-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and diethylenetriaminopropyltrimethoxysilane.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the binding force between mica powder and polylactic acid, glycerin, castor oil, etc. is further improved, thereby improving the overall performance of the plant fiber.

[0027] Preferably, the wax comprises at least one of beeswax, palm wax or pineapple wax.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the waterproof performance of bamboo fiber is further improved without affecting the degradation performance of bamboo fiber.

[0029] In the second aspect, the present application provides an environmentally friendly plant fiber for tableware, which adopts the following technical solution: The invention discloses an environmentally friendly plant fiber for tableware, wherein the plant fiber is used for preparing tableware.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the lightness, waterproofness and moisture-proofness of tableware can be improved, and at the same time the tableware can be completely degraded.

[0031] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present application optimizes the fiber structure of bamboo fiber by crushing, soaking, air-drying and multiple water spraying treatments, enhances the degree of interweaving and overall strength of the internal fibers, and then enzymatic hydrolysis treatment helps to remove part of the lignin and hemicellulose, making the fiber purer, while improving the hygroscopicity and biodegradability of the fiber. Then, the alkaline solution treatment further removes impurities on the fiber surface, improves the wettability and processability of the fiber, and then the salt solution boiling treatment helps to further stabilize and shape the fiber, and improves the toughness and strength of the fiber. By adding wax to the initial product, the waterproof barrier formed effectively reduces the absorption of water by the bamboo fiber, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the fiber. Finally, through the effects of polylactic acid, glycerol, mica powder, castor oil and chitosan, not only the strength and toughness of the fiber are enhanced, but also the complete degradability of the product is guaranteed.
