Abstract

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are considered prospective material in a sustainable society due to its several technically attractive properties and renewable characteristics. However, the isolation of CNF by mechanical processes still requires high energy consumption. Chemical pretreatment of cellulose may provide an opportunity of decreasing energy consumption for CNF production. In this study, carboxymethylation which introduces carboxyl groups to hydroxyl groups was considered. The carboxyl contents of pulp fibers was greatly affected by chloroacetic acid amount and reaction temperature. Never-dried pulp fibers showed higher carboxyl content than once-dried pulp. The charge properties of pulp fiber such as carboxyl group contents had a strong influence on energy consumption to isolate CNF. As the carboxyl content of pulp fibers increased, the required grinding pass number for the production of cellulose nanofibrils was significantly reduced and the resultant cellulose nanofibrils had smaller and more uniform width.
