The invention discloses a method for preparing nano
cellulose, and belongs to the technical field of
biomass-based nano material preparation. The preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting strong
chaetoceros with a
sodium hydroxide solution at 80-110 DEG C for 100 minutes, cooling the reaction solution to
room temperature, adding a
hydrogen peroxide solution to react at 80 DEG C for 30 minutes, cooling the reaction solution to
room temperature, performing post-treatment to obtain strong
chaetoceros cellulose, dispersing the strong
chaetoceros cellulose in a 57%
sulfuric acid solution, performing acidolysis at 40 DEG C for 45 minutes, and performing
filtration to obtain the strong chaetoceros cellulose. And carrying out post-treatment to obtain the nano cellulose. The method disclosed by the invention has the beneficial effects that the nano cellulose with high length-
diameter ratio and high
crystallinity is prepared by taking waste green tide
algae, namely chaetoceros, as a
raw material and utilizing the characteristics of almost no
lignin and slender fibers of the waste green tide
algae, and a relatively mild and simple method, so that a new idea is provided for the preparation of the nano cellulose; the method has important significance on innovative development and utilization of
algae waste.
