Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is a cellulose ether product which currently enjoys the most attention, has a wide application range and can be conveniently used. The sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can form high-viscosity gel and solution and has properties such as adherence, thickening, flowing, emulsification and dispersion, shaping, water holding, colloid protection, film shaping, acid tolerance, salt tolerance and suspending, so the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is widely applicable in the production of fields such as food, medicines, daily chemicals, petroleum, paper making, textiles and buildings. For a long time, the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is prepared with cotton linter as material, so the cost is high. If apple pomace can substitute cotton to prepare the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, the cost of the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can be reduced. The present invention uses the apple pomace as material to prepare the high-viscosity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, so, not only is the cost reduced, but also waste can be utilized, so that the value of the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can be increased.
