Abstract:

In order to improve the dissolving efficiency and solution stability of cellulose during the preparation of Lyocell fiber, the alkaline enzyme treatment time and dosage with cellulose pulp were experimented on, and the changes of relative molecular weight and accessible properties of the pulp were studied. The results show that after enzyme treatment, the crystalline form of cellulose is not destroyed, remaining to be a typical cellulose I-type conformation. When the enzyme dosage is set to 4 000 mL/t and the enzyme treatment time increases, the polymerization degree decreases to 430 and tends to be stable, as the enzyme treatment time is more than 60 min. When the enzyme treatment time is set to 60 min and the enzyme dosage increased to 2 000 mL/t, the polymerization degree of cellulose pulp reduces from 520 to about 430, and the relative molecular weight distribution reduces. It is found that the accessible surface area of cellulase pulp treated by cellulose increases, but the crystal structure remains the same. Cellulose mainly acts on the amorphous area in cellulose molecules and the poorly ordered part of crystalline surface.

Key words: cellulase enzyme, cellulose pulp, Lyocell fiber, alkaline enzyme, relative molecular weight distribution, crystal structure
