Abstract

This invention relates to the field of fiber preparation, specifically disclosing a method for preparing high-purity regenerated cellulose fibers from waste cotton textiles. The method includes: washing and crushing the waste cotton textiles, followed by sequential low-temperature plasma surface activation treatment and enzymatic oxidation decolorization using a laccase-mediator system to obtain activated and decolorized cotton fiber raw materials; then dissolving the raw materials in an ionic liquid solvent at below 80°C to obtain a spinning solution; and finally, through spinning and post-treatment, obtaining regenerated cellulose fibers. This invention achieves deep chemical degradation of covalently bound dyes through the synergistic effect of low-temperature plasma and the laccase-mediator system, while simultaneously effectively inhibiting the thermal degradation of cellulose through low-temperature ionic liquid dissolution. The resulting fibers have high purity and excellent mechanical properties, and the solvent can be recycled, making the process green and environmentally friendly.
