Production method of cellulose acetate
If you want to make cellulose acetate, there are important methods. First and foremost, you should prepare a good raw material, and the cellulose must be of high quality and pure, in order to lay its foundation.
As for the reaction process, it is appropriate to control the temperature appropriately. In a specific container, the cellulose and acetic anhydride and other reagents are combined. The degree of temperature between them depends on the speed of the reaction and the quality of the product. If the temperature is high, the reaction may be too fast and impurities will be generated. If the temperature is low, the reaction will be slow and time-consuming. Therefore, it is necessary to use precise tools to monitor and measure it, so that the temperature is constant at a suitable environment.
And the amount of catalyst An appropriate amount of catalyst can promote the reaction, but too much may cause side reactions to occur, and too little will cause ineffective reactions. It is necessary to accurately calculate according to the amount of raw materials and the state of the reaction, and use it with caution.
After the reaction is completed, the steps of separation and purification cannot be ignored. Remove its impurities and improve its purity to make cellulose acetate reach the required standard. Filtration, washing, distillation and other methods can be used to refine it one after another to obtain the best product.
All these ends are the methods for the production of cellulose acetate. Only by following carefully can we obtain high-quality cellulose acetate.
