AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, when bamboo and kapok are mixed to prepare lyocell pulp, the incompatibility between the high silicon content of bamboo and the high lipid content of kapok cannot be resolved simultaneously, leading to the risk of spinning blockage and suspension stratification problems during the pretreatment of cellulose raw materials.
A step-by-step directional pretreatment strategy is adopted, including steam explosion, acid treatment, bio-enzyme-assisted delignification and low-temperature alkali refining. Combined with oxalic acid-ammonium fluoride composite acid solution and bio-enzyme system, soluble oligomers and lipid molecules are removed to form a clean microporous channel structure. The fiber morphology is regulated by dispersant to form a three-dimensional network.
This method achieves deep desiliconization of chopped bamboo fibers and degradation of the surface layer of kapok, eliminating the risk of spinning blockage, improving the solubility and mechanical strength of pulp, solving the compatibility problem of cellulose raw materials, and obtaining a uniformly dispersed and interfacially bonded mixed pulp.

[0047] 2. In the present application, the wood pulp pretreatment stage is purified by two-stage synergy: in the low-temperature alkali refining, alkyl polyglycoside selectively emulsifies lipid molecules, and its hydrophilic end combines with EDTA to chelate calcium ions, and the pectin-metal ion crosslinking network is broken down; in the subsequent biological enzyme deep purification, lipase precisely hydrolyzes the ester bond of triglyceride, and pectinase breaks the alpha-1, 4 glycosidic bond of galacturonic acid at the same time, so that the wax barrier and pectin matrix on the surface of the wood pulp are degraded layer by layer. Thus, a clean microporous channel structure is formed on the surface of the fiber, the lipid-induced solvent decomposition side reaction is eliminated, and the cellulose reaction accessibility is improved.
[0048] 3. In the present application, a bifunctional dispersion system is introduced in the mixing homogenization stage. The polyacrylate inhibits the short-cut bamboo fiber flocculation through electrostatic repulsion, and the hydroxyalkyl cellulose prevents the wood pulp fiber entanglement through steric hindrance. The two work together to form a three-dimensional network of "bamboo short fibers penetrating and anchoring wood pulp long fibers". The problem of suspension stratification caused by fiber morphology difference is solved, and finally a mixed pulp with uniform dispersion and interface combination is obtained, which provides excellent film-forming continuity and mechanical strength basis for lyocell fibers.

[0172] Performance tests were performed on the bamboo and wool mixed lyocell pulp prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4:
[0173] Alpha-cellulose content test: 2.00 g of absolute dry pulp was weighed and treated with 17.5% NaOH solution at 20°C for 30 min, then filtered, washed, and dried to weigh, and the cellulose purity was calculated;
[0174] Gel particle number test: The pulp was prepared into a 12% NMMO solution with 13% water, dissolved at 85°C for 120 min, and the number of insoluble substances greater than 10 μm was detected using a laser particle size instrument;
[0175] Lipid residue test: The Soxhlet extractor was used to extract with ethyl ether as the solvent for 6 h, and the extract was calculated as a percentage of the mass of the absolute dry pulp;
[0176] Polymerization degree DP test: The copper ethylenediamine method was used to determine the intrinsic viscosity of the fiber and calculate the average polymerization degree.
[0177] The test data of the bamboo and wool mixed lyocell pulp prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are recorded in the following table:
[0178] Group Alpha-cellulose Silicon residue Lipid residue Dispersion index Gel number Filter flux Example 1 93.5 0.08 0.18 0.21 3 215 Example 2 94.1 0.05 0.16 0.18 2 230 Example 3 93.8 0.07 0.17 0.19 4 225 Comparative Example 1 89.2 0.41 0.19 0.23 185 95 Comparative Example 2 90.7 0.06 0.83 0.27 102 110 Comparative Example 3 92.3 0.09 0.21 0.39 67 135 Comparative Example 4 91.6 0.07 0.20 0.26 48 155
[0179] By comparing and analyzing the data in the table, it can be seen that the bamboo and wood pulp mixed lyocell pulp prepared by the processes of Examples 1-3 has better performance than the pulp prepared by the processes of Comparative Examples 1-4. This shows that through the step-by-step directional pretreatment strategy, steam explosion causes microcracks in the cell wall of the short-cut bamboo fiber, and the high selectivity of the oxalic acid-ammonium fluoride complex acid solution to silicates, realizing deep desilication of short-cut bamboo fiber without damaging the cellulose skeleton; At the same time, the biological enzyme system step-by-step dissociates the hemicellulose side chain and the lignin aromatic ring structure, and removes the soluble oligomers, so as to eliminate the risk of spinning blockage caused by silicon residues under the premise of preserving the high polymerization degree of bamboo cellulose, and ensure the smoothness of the pulp in NMMO solvent; In the wood pulp pretreatment stage, two-stage synergistic purification is carried out: in the low-temperature alkali refining, alkyl polyglycoside selectively emulsifies lipid molecules, and its hydrophilic end combines with EDTA to chelate calcium ions, thereby breaking the pectin-metal ion crosslinking network; In the subsequent biological enzyme deep purification, lipase precisely hydrolyzes the ester bond of triglyceride, and pectinase simultaneously breaks the alpha-1, 4 glycosidic bond of galacturonic acid, so that the wax barrier and pectin matrix on the surface of the wood pulp are degraded layer by layer. Thus, a clean microporous channel structure is formed on the surface of the fiber, eliminating the solvent decomposition side reaction induced by lipids and improving the cellulose reaction accessibility; In the mixed homogenization stage, a bifunctional dispersion system is introduced, polyacrylate inhibits short-cut bamboo fiber flocculation through electrostatic repulsion, and hydroxyalkyl cellulose prevents wood pulp fiber entanglement through steric hindrance, and the two synergistically regulate the formation of a three-dimensional network of "short-cut bamboo fiber penetrating and anchoring long wood pulp fiber". The problem of suspension stratification caused by the difference in fiber morphology is solved, and finally a mixed pulp with uniform dispersion and interface combination is obtained, which provides excellent film-forming continuity and mechanical strength basis for lyocell fibers.
[0180] As a green and environmentally friendly fiber in the 21st century, lyocell uses pulp made from renewable plant sources as raw material, and its processing technology is environmentally friendly and waste is biodegradable, so it is considered a sustainable development fiber in the whole life cycle.
[0181] The production process of bamboo lyocell fiber follows the process route of dry crushing, direct dissolution and dry spraying wet spinning. Its production process takes bamboo pulp as the starting raw material, and goes through many links such as bamboo pulp, crushed pulp, solvent, etc., a total of 18-20 rigorous procedures. It is worth mentioning that almost no chemical reaction is involved in the entire production process, mainly physical reaction, thus ensuring the environmental performance of the product. The bamboo pulp used in the production process is a fast-growing plant and a renewable and recyclable material, and the solvent N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide used has the characteristics of non-toxic and non-polluting, and after special process and equipment treatment, 99.7% of the solvent can be recycled and reused. Such a production process truly realizes zero emission, and the product is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
[0182] Through comparison and analysis of the related data in the table, it can be known that the bamboo and wood flax mixed lyocell pulp prepared by the process has high purity, low impurity residue and excellent solubility, thereby indicating that the bamboo and wood flax mixed lyocell pulp preparation process provided by the application has a wider market prospect and is more suitable for promotion through the triple innovation of raw material hierarchical directional treatment, fiber interface regulation and dissolution structure optimization, and improves resource utilization rate and product added value.
