Chitosan is obtained from chitin, which is a component of the outer skin of crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs, and is used as a filler for chromatography and as a carrier for various substances. A known method for obtaining ultrafine chitosan particles is to mechanically crush chitosan flakes, but in this case, the chitosan flakes are rarely spherical, and most are irregularly shaped fine particles. Therefore, it is almost impossible to select the spherical ones from among these. Furthermore, the resulting ultrafine chitosan particles tend to aggregate, making it impossible to obtain particles with good dispersibility. Furthermore, the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-30722 is a method in which a hydrophobic solvent containing an emulsifier is added to an acidic aqueous solution of chitosan, the mixture is stirred to form an emulsion, and this is coagulated and precipitated in an alkaline aqueous solution while being stirred. However, the product obtained by this method has the disadvantage that only particles with particle sizes distributed over a fairly wide range of 2 to 300 μm can be obtained, and the washing process of the product is complicated, making it unsuitable for industrial use. The present inventors previously made the invention in Japanese Patent Application No. 59-16119, in which an acidic aqueous solution of chitosan is dropped into a basic solution, solidified and regenerated into granules, and thoroughly washed until it becomes neutral. We proposed a method to obtain granular chitosan by drying. Although it is possible to obtain ultrafine spherical chitosan by this method, this method has the disadvantage that operations such as neutralization and washing are complicated when the particle size is 100 μm or less, and there are certain Ultra-fine spherical chitosan having a particle size or smaller is difficult to separate into individual chitosan particles and tends to adhere to each other, which has the disadvantage that the individual spherical morphology is lost.

The method of the present invention involves dissolving chitosan in an acidic aqueous solution, adding the acidic solution to a basic solution to coagulate and regenerate, thoroughly washing the resulting coagulate until it becomes neutral, and then dispersing the liquid used for washing. Chitosan is pulverized and dispersed as a medium to form a suspension, and the suspension is discharged into a high temperature atmosphere together with pressurized air and dried to obtain ultrafine spherical chitosan. Chitosan can be obtained by deacetylating naturally occurring chitin obtained from crustaceans such as crabs and shrimps. Ordinary flaky chitosan can also be used, but the average molecular weight is 10,000~
By using low molecular weight chitosan of 230,000, a highly concentrated acidic aqueous solution can be obtained without adding any additives.
It is preferable to reduce the molecular weight and use it. Chitosan is dissolved in an aqueous solution of acetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, or formic acid alone or in a mixture, and the dissolved solution is added to a basic aqueous solution by means such as dropping to solidify and regenerate. The composition of the basic aqueous solution for coagulating and regenerating the chitosan acidic aqueous solution is preferably such that when the coagulated chitosan is crushed, it is suspended and easily becomes an emulsion, that is, a brittle chitosan coagulated product is obtained. It may be an aqueous solution of ethylenediamine, caustic soda, etc., or a product obtained by adding a polar alcohol such as methanol or ethanol to these basic substances. The size of the coagulated product obtained by coagulating and precipitating a chitosan acidic solution in a basic solution should not be particularly limited, but if it is granular, the particle size may be limited due to workability such as neutralization washing. A thickness of 1 to 2 mm is preferable. The chitosan coagulate obtained as described above is thoroughly washed with water until it becomes neutral, and after washing, it is crushed and dispersed in water to obtain a milky suspension. A homogenizer can be used for grinding. The pulverized suspension is dried by being discharged into a high-temperature atmosphere together with pressurized air discharged from around the nozzle. The temperature of the high temperature atmosphere can be freely selected within the range of 100 to 180°C, which is sufficient to dry the ultrafine spherical chitosan. Discharging must be performed while maintaining the dispersibility of the suspension; for example, it is also possible to discharge while dispersing with a homogenizer. The discharged chitosan suspension is formed into minute spherical bodies when dried in a high temperature atmosphere due to the surface tension of water, which is a dispersion medium. The spherical diameter of the obtained spherical body can be arbitrarily selected by appropriately adjusting the discharge amount and the applied air pressure when discharging into the high-temperature atmosphere.

The method of the present invention involves coagulating and regenerating an acidic chitosan aqueous solution as chitosan in a brittle state that is desirable for dispersion in a basic solution, thoroughly washing and pulverizing the dispersion, and placing the dispersion in a high-temperature atmosphere together with pressurized air. Chitosan is crushed into fine pieces and sprayed into a high-temperature atmosphere as a milky suspension, and when dried, it produces almost spherical ultra-microspheres with an average diameter of 20 μm or less. Form. The ultrafine spherical chitosan thus obtained is spherical, uniform in particle size, and has a small particle size distribution, as described in the examples, and furthermore, the ultrafine spheres do not aggregate or adhere to each other. Therefore, it is extremely suitable for various uses such as a filler for chromatography, a carrier for immobilized physiologically active substances, a cosmetic material, and a pharmaceutical aid. Furthermore, in the method of the present invention, unlike conventional methods, there is no need to add various additives during the production process, and in particular, there is no need to wash the chitosan after it is made into microspheres, so the production time can be shortened. This is extremely advantageous industrially.
