The solubility of cellulose in a diluted alkaline solution after the plasma treatment was investigated. The properties were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The results indicated that the surface of cellulose treated by the argon DBD plasma was significantly etched, and the relevant force of hydrogen bonding was decreased. This might be the essential reason for the solubility improvement of natural cellulose in the diluted alkaline solution. Through a comparison of two discharge modes, the atmospheric DBD plasma gun and the parallel plate capacitively coupled DBD plasma, it was found that the atmospheric DBD plasma gun was more effective in fragmentizing the cellulose due to its production of a high energy plasma based on its special structure.展开更多

In the present work, natural cellulose pulp was treated with NaOH solution, which concentration is lower than 20 wt%. The alkaline celluloses obtained were oxidized by TEMPO - NaOCI - NaBr system and the factors which influence the selective oxidation reaction rate have been investigated. The structure of the oxidized products has been characterized by Fourier transform-infrared （FTIR）, nuclear magenatic resonace （NMR） and wide angle X-ray diffraction （WAXD） methods, and their adsorption properties for Cu^2＋ and Cd^2＋ in aqueous solutions have been preliminarily examined. The results show that after the alkaline treatment, the primary hydroxyl at C6 position of natural cellulose can be selectively oxidized to carboxyl group in the reaction medium at pH 10.8, the oxidation rate becomes greater with the NaOH concentration and alkaline treatment time increasing. The alkaline treatment has a great effect on the crystal structure of natural cellulose, but the crystal structure of alkaline cellulose keeps almost unchanged after oxidation. The adsorption capacity is enhanced by introducing carboxyl groups into the cellulose macromolecular chains.展开更多
