This invention discloses a method for preparing highly substituted polyanionic
cellulose, comprising the following steps: 1) alkalizing a
system consisting of refined cotton,
organic solvent, and alkaline solution by introducing excess organic amine gas and stirring; 2) after alkalization in step (1), heating and depressurizing to remove the organic amine gas, and then adding an etherifying agent to the
reaction system for reaction; 3) after the reaction in step (2), the product is neutralized with
acetic acid, filtered, washed with excess 90%
ethanol, filtered again, dried, and pulverized to obtain highly substituted polyanionic
cellulose. This invention promotes the degree of alkalization of
cellulose and increases the degree of subsequent etherification reaction. The
degree of substitution of the polyanionic cellulose prepared by this invention can reach over 1.40, which is higher than the
degree of substitution of products prepared by ordinary
solvent methods, and has high application value.
