Method for quickly devillicating and brooming low-concentration paper pulp
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of paper pulp, and particularly relates to a method for quickly devillicating and brooming low-concentration paper pulp.
Background
Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable resources on earth, and is a very promising biomaterial. Cellulose molecules are mainly composed of glucose units connected by glycosidic bonds. The micro-nano cellulose is a cellulose macromolecule with micro-nano level size separated from a plant fiber body by different methods, and has the characteristics of environmental protection, natural regeneration, good biocompatibility, optical property, mechanical property and the like due to high length-diameter ratio and high crystallinity, numerous hydroxyl groups on the surface and rich surface charges, so that the micro-nano cellulose is widely applied to the fields of food, medical treatment, papermaking, energy and the like.
For example, chinese patent application No. CN201810104629.9 discloses a method for preparing nanocellulose whiskers and fibrils by oxalic acid hydrolysis, which comprises the steps of performing acid hydrolysis on a cellulose raw material with an oxalic acid solution, adding hot water after the acid hydrolysis, performing suction filtration and washing, recovering oxalic acid, and homogenizing the obtained cellulose under high pressure to obtain nanocellulose whiskers and nanocellulose fibrils. The method adopted by the invention has the advantages of simple reaction process, easy control and simple and easily obtained raw materials required by the reaction, and can be widely applied to various cellulose raw materials for preparing cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibril cellulose. The invention discloses a preparation method of oxidized cellulose nanofibrils based on nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide, and the preparation method is based on a nitric acid hydrolysis system, introduces a hydrogen peroxide oxidizing reagent, and finally obtains the oxidized cellulose nanofibrils through high-pressure homogenization treatment. The method has simple and convenient process, uses less chemical varieties, can reduce the using amount of acid compared with a method of simply using acid hydrolysis, and can successfully prepare the oxidized cellulose nanofibrils.
However, in both of the above-mentioned methods, chemicals such as acid, alkali or hydrogen peroxide are inevitably used, and the prepared micro-nano fibril cellulose also needs to be subjected to subsequent complex treatment processes such as multiple centrifugation and dialysis, which is relatively complex and not environment-friendly. The method is feasible in a laboratory, but if the method is used in engineering practice, the problems of high difficulty in waste acid recovery and waste water treatment and the like exist, and the controllable preparation of the micro-nano cellulose is difficult to realize. Therefore, in order to realize industrialization of the micro-nano cellulose, a method for preparing the micro-nano fibril cellulose, which is simple to operate, diversified in products and strong in engineering applicability, needs to be invented, and can play a role in promoting and leading development of a micro-nano cellulose preparation technology.

Effects of the embodiment
The micro-nano cellulose obtained in the examples 5 and 6 and the comparative examples 1 and 2 is matched with domestic waste paper pulp long fibers and domestic waste paper pulp short fibers (the mass ratio of the micro-nano cellulose to the domestic waste paper pulp is 1:9) to be made into paper, and the basis weight of the paper is 60g/m2The magnitude of increase in burst index and tensile index of the paper was measured as compared to the waste pulp without the addition of nanocellulose. The measuring instrument is a burst tester (model: L)&W CE180) and a horizontal wet tensile tester (model: FRANK 81502). As shown in fig. 11 to 14, the "length of country + sample 5" marked in the figure refers to the paper made of the domestic long waste pulp fibers and the micro-nano cellulose obtained in example 5, and the "length of country + sample 6" refers to the paper made of the domestic long waste pulp fibers and the micro-nano cellulose obtained in example 6; "national short + sample 5" refers to paper made of domestic waste paper pulp short fibers and the micro-nano cellulose obtained in example 5, and "national short + sample 6" refers to paper made of domestic waste paper pulp short fibers and the micro-nano cellulose obtained in example 6; the marked "national length + to 1" in the figure refers to paper made of domestic waste paper pulp long fibers and the micro-nano cellulose obtained in the comparative example 1, the "national length + to 2" refers to paper made of the domestic waste paper pulp long fibers and the micro-nano cellulose obtained in the comparative example 2, the "national length + to 1" refers to paper made of the domestic waste paper pulp short fibers and the micro-nano cellulose obtained in the comparative example 1, and the "national length + to 2" refers to paper made of the domestic waste paper pulp short fibers and the micro-nano cellulose obtained in the comparative example 2.
From the comparison of the topographic maps of the micro-nanofibers obtained in the above embodiments and comparative examples, it can be seen that: the diameter of the devillicate at the tail end of the micro-nano fibril cellulose prepared by the invention is within 100nm, and the devillicate brooming effect of the pulp suspension subjected to thermal hydrolysis is better than that of the pulp suspension without thermal hydrolysis, because the cellulose tissue structure is softened after the thermal hydrolysis process, and devillicate is easier to separate in the subsequent high shearing process. Compared with the common beating system, the high-speed operation of the blade in the narrow flow channel formed by the eccentric beating system increases the shearing force locally applied to the fiber, the fibrillation degree of the fiber is higher, the fiber cannot be cut off, and the nanocellulose silk sample with large length-diameter ratio is reserved. By combining the bursting index and the tensile index of the paper made by the domestic waste paper pulp fibers prepared in the embodiment 5 and the embodiment 6, the bursting index of the domestic waste paper pulp short fibers is increased by 45% and the bursting index of the domestic waste paper pulp long fibers is increased by 33% in the micro-nano cellulose prepared in the embodiment 5; the tensile index of the short fiber of the domestic waste paper pulp is increased by 34 percent, and the tensile index of the long fiber of the domestic waste paper pulp is increased by 30 percent. The micro-nano cellulose prepared in the embodiment 6 has the bursting index increasing rate of 110% for domestic waste paper pulp short fibers and 64% for domestic waste paper pulp long fibers; the tensile index of the short fiber of the domestic waste paper pulp is increased by 53 percent, the tensile index of the long fiber of the domestic waste paper pulp is increased by 54 percent, and the reinforcing effect is very obvious.
