Abstract
Description
本発明では、酸化セルロースを調製するのに用いるセルロース系原料として、加水分解処理した後にクラフト蒸解を行なうことにより得られるパルプ(DKP)を用いる。本発明において、「加水分解処理した後にクラフト蒸解を行なうことにより得られるパルプ(DKP)」とは、加水分解処理を施した木材チップ、ケナフ、麻、イネ、バカス、竹等の植物原料に対して通常の条件でクラフト蒸解を行うことにより得ることができるパルプをいう。クラフト蒸解を行なう前の植物原料に加水分解処理を施すことによって、植物原料中のヘミセルロースが水溶性の糖に変換して遊離するため、得られるDKPは、加水分解処理を施さない通常のクラフトパルプ(KP)に比べて、ヘミセルロースの含有量が極めて低くなる。通常のクラフトパルプ(KP)のヘミセルロース含有量は、10~30質量%程度であるが、本発明に用いる加水分解処理をした後にクラフト蒸解を行なって得たパルプ(DKP)のヘミセルロース含有量は、用いる植物原料の種類にもよるが、1~5質量%程度である。なお、サルファイトパルプのヘミセルロース含有量は、3~5質量%程度である。
ヘミセルロース含有量(%)=(キシロース量(mg)×0.88+マンノース量(mg)×0.9)/パルプ量(mg)×100(%)。
本発明では、DKPであるセルロース系原料を、(1)N-オキシル化合物、及び(2)臭化物、ヨウ化物若しくはこれらの混合物からなる群から選択される化合物の存在下で酸化剤を用いて水中で酸化して、酸化セルロースを調製する。
本発明における「酸化セルロース」は、DKPをセルロース系原料として用いて上述の酸化反応を行なうことにより得ることができる。酸化セルロースのカルボキシル基量は、酸化セルロースの絶乾質量に対して、1.0mmol/g以上となることが好ましく、より好ましくは1.0mmol/g~3.0mmol/g、さらに好ましくは1.4mmol/g~3.0mmol/g、さらに好ましくは1.5mmol/g~2.0mmol/gである。カルボキシル基量は、酸化反応時間の調整、酸化反応温度の調整、酸化時のpHの調整、あるいはN-オキシル化合物、臭化物、ヨウ化物、または酸化剤の添加量の調整などを行うことにより、所望の量とすることができる。
カルボキシル基量〔mmol/gパルプ〕= a〔ml〕× 0.05/酸化セルロース質量〔g〕。
本発明では次いで、酸化セルロースを解繊及び分散して、セルロースナノファイバー分散液を調製する。解繊及び分散に用いる装置の種類としては、高速回転式、コロイドミル式、高圧式、ロールミル式、超音波式などの装置が挙げられるが、透明性と流動性に優れるセルロースナノファイバー分散液を効率よく得るには、50MPa以上、好ましくは100MPa以上、さらに好ましくは140MPa以上の圧力条件下で分散できる湿式の高圧または超高圧ホモジナイザーが好ましい。ホモジナイザーを用いる際の処理圧力の上限は特に限定されないが、通常300MPa程度である。
セルロースナノファイバーは、幅2~5nm、長さ1~5μm程度、条件によっては平均繊維長が100nm~5μm程度のセルロースのシングルミクロフィブリルである。本発明において、「ナノファイバー化する」とは、酸化セルロースを、幅2~5nm、長さ1~5μm程度、場合によっては長さ100nm~5μm程度のセルロースのシングルミクロフィブリルであるセルロースナノファイバーへと加工することを意味する。
カルボキシル基量〔mmol/gパルプ〕= a〔ml〕× 0.05/セルロースナノファイバー(固形分)質量〔g〕。
本発明では、解繊及び分散処理を行う前に、酸化セルロースに以下に記載する低粘度化処理を施してもよい。低粘度化処理とは、酸化セルロース中のセルロース鎖を適度に切断し(セルロース鎖の短繊維化)、低粘度化させる処理をいう。酸化セルロースの粘度が低下するような処理であれば、いずれでもよいが、例えば、酸化セルロースに紫外線を照射する処理、酸化セルロースを過酸化水素及びオゾンに接触させて酸化分解する処理、酸化セルロースを酸で加水分解する処理、酸化セルロースをアルカリ性条件下で加水分解する処理、並びにこれらの組み合わせなどが挙げられる。
低粘度化処理において酸化セルロースに紫外線を照射する場合、用いる紫外線の波長は、好ましくは100~400nmであり、より好ましくは100~300nmである。このうち、波長135~260nmの紫外線は、直接セルロースやヘミセルロースに作用して低分子化を引き起こし、酸化セルロース中のセルロース鎖を短繊維化することができるから、好ましい。
低粘度化処理において、酸化セルロースを過酸化水素及びオゾンで酸化分解する場合、オゾンは、空気あるいは酸素を原料としてオゾン発生装置で公知の方法で発生させることができる。オゾンの添加量(質量)は、酸化セルロースの絶乾質量の0.1~3倍が好ましい。オゾンの添加量が酸化セルロースの絶乾質量の0.1倍以上であればセルロースの非晶部を十分に分解することができ、次工程での解繊及び分散に要するエネルギーを削減することができる。また、3倍以下であればセルロースの過度の分解を抑制でき、酸化セルロースの収率の低下を防ぐことができる。オゾン添加量は、酸化セルロースの絶乾質量の0.3~2.5倍がより好ましく、0.5~1.5倍がさらに好ましい。
低粘度化処理において酸化セルロースに酸を添加してセルロース鎖の加水分解(酸加水分解)を行なう場合、硫酸、塩酸、硝酸、又はリン酸のような鉱酸を使用することができる。
低粘度化処理において、酸化セルロースをアルカリ性条件下で加水分解する際に使用可能な助剤(酸化剤、還元剤など)としては特に制限はなく、アルカリ領域で活性を有するものを、単独若しくは2種以上混合して用いることができる。酸化剤としては酸素、オゾン、過酸化水素、次亜塩素酸塩などを用いることができる。還元剤としては水素化ホウ素ナトリウム、ハイドロサルファイト、亜硫酸塩などを用いることができる。助剤の添加量は、絶乾した酸化セルロースに対して、0.1~10%(w/v)の範囲であれば処理時間と効率の観点から所望の反応を行なわせるのに十分である。より好ましくは、0.3~5%(w/v)、さらに好ましくは、0.5~2%(w/v)である。
本発明では、酸化セルロースを調製する前に、DKP、又は漂白処理したDKPに、酵素、アルカリ、または酸化薬品を加える精製処理を施してもよい。精製処理済みセルロース系原料を用いると、より低粘度のセルロースナノファイバー分散液を製造することができる。精製処理は、一回若しくは複数回行うことができ、異なる処理を組み合わせることもできる。例えば、キシラナーゼ処理またはアルカリ処理、あるいはこれら二つの組み合わせによってヘミセルロースを除去した後、酸化剤処理またはセルラーゼ処理、あるいはこれらの処理を組み合わせることにより、セルロース系原料中のセルロースの重合度を低下させることができる。このように複数の処理を組み合わせることは、処理効率に優れるため好ましい。精製処理後のセルロース系原料中のヘミセルロース含有量は10質量%以下であることが望ましく、5質量%以下であることがさらに望ましく、3質量%以下であることがさらに望ましい。
精製処理における酵素処理には、セルラーゼまたはヘミセルラーゼを用いることができる。使用するセルラーゼまたはヘミセルラーゼは、特に限定されず、セルラーゼ生産性糸状菌、細菌、放線菌、担子菌由来のものや、遺伝子組換え、細胞融合等の遺伝子操作により製造したものを、単独又は2種以上混合して用いることができる。また、市販品を用いることもできる。市販セルラーゼとしては、例えば、ノボザイムズジャパン社製Novozyme476(登録商標)、天野エンザイム社製セルラーゼAP3、ヤクルト薬品工業社製セルラーゼオノズカRS、ジェネンコア協和社製オプチマーゼCX40L(登録商標)、合同酒精社製のGODO-TCL、ナガセケムテックス社製セルラーゼXL-522、洛東化成工業社製エンチロンCMなどを用いることができる。市販ヘミセルラーゼとしては、ノボザイムズジャパン社製パルプザイム(登録商標)、天野エンザイム社製ヘミセルラーゼアマノ90(登録商標)、新日本化学工業社製スミチームX(登録商標)などを用いることができる。
精製処理におけるアルカリ処理には、アルカリ化剤を用いることができる。用いるアルカリ化剤としては、水溶性であればよく、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム、水酸化カルシウム、炭酸ナトリウムなどの無機アルカリ、水酸化テトラメチルアンモニウム、水酸化テトラエチルアンモニウムなどの有機アルカリ等を例示することができる。これらの中では、比較的安価な汎用のアルカリ化剤である水酸化ナトリウムが好ましい。また、パルプ工場で発生する白液及び緑液のように、複数のアルカリやその他成分を含む水溶液を用いることもできる。
精製処理の一部として行われる酸化薬品処理に使用される酸化薬品の種類は特に限定されるものではないが、次亜塩素酸ナトリウムが価格や効果の点から好適である。添加量は、絶乾したセルロース系原料に対して、0.1~10質量%の範囲であれば処理時間と効率の観点から所望の反応を行なわせるのに十分である。より好ましくは、0.3~5質量%、さらに好ましくは、0.5~2質量%である。反応温度は好ましくは50~80℃、より好ましくは55~75℃、より好ましくは55~65℃であり、処理時間は好ましくは5分から240分、より好ましくは15分から180分さらに好ましくは30~150分である。酸化薬品処理時のセルロース系原料の濃度(固形分)は0.1~50質量%の範囲であり、好ましくは1~30質量%、更に好ましくは2~20質量%である。
2.4L容の回転型オートクレーブに広葉樹チップ絶乾量300gを入れ、水を加えて液比を2L/kgとした。170℃で30分間保持して加水分解処理した後、中和液を加えて155℃で15分間中和処理した。中和液は活性アルカリ11%(対チップ質量)、硫化度25%、液比2.5L/kgとなるように水酸化ナトリウムと硫化ナトリウムを混合して調製した。中和処理後にオートクレーブより液を抜き取り、蒸解液(活性アルカリ9%(対チップ質量)、硫化度25%、液比2.5L/kgとなるように水酸化ナトリウムと硫化ナトリウムを混合して調製した)を添加して160℃でHファクターが830になるまで蒸解した(DKPの調製)。
300mgの凍結乾燥したパルプを72%硫酸3mL中で室温下に2時間置いた後、硫酸濃度が2.5%になるよう希釈し、さらに105℃で1時間加熱し、加水分解反応させて単糖溶液を得た。得られた溶液を適宜希釈し、イオンクロマトグラフィー(Dionex社製 DX-500、カラム:AS-7、溶離液:水、流速1.1ml/分)を用いて単糖を定量した。酸加水分解溶液に含まれるキシロースおよびマンノース量から、下式によってヘミセルロース量を求めた。
ヘミセルロース含有量(%)=(キシロース量(mg)×0.88+マンノース量(mg)×0.9)/パルプ量(mg)×100(%)。
酸化セルロースの0.5質量%スラリーを60ml調製し、0.1M塩酸水溶液を加えてpH2.5とした後、0.05Nの水酸化ナトリウム水溶液を滴下してpHが11になるまで電気伝導度を測定し、電気伝導度の変化が緩やかな弱酸の中和段階において消費された水酸化ナトリウム量(a)から、下式を用いて算出した。
カルボキシル基量〔mmol/gパルプ〕= a〔ml〕× 0.05/酸化セルロース質量〔g〕。
2.4L容の回転型オートクレーブに針葉樹チップ絶乾量300gを入れ、水を加えて液比を3.2L/kgとした。170℃で30分間保持して加水分解処理した後、中和液を加えて155℃で15分間中和処理した。中和液は活性アルカリ13%(対チップ質量)、硫化度25%、液比3.2L/kgとなるように水酸化ナトリウムと硫化ナトリウムを混合して調製した。中和処理後にオートクレーブより液を抜き取り、蒸解液(活性アルカリ11%(対チップ質量)、硫化度25%、液比3.2L/kgとなるように水酸化ナトリウムと硫化ナトリウムを混合して調製した)を添加して170℃でHファクターが1800になるまで蒸解した(DKPの調製)。
