Sulfation of Birch Wood Microcrystalline Cellulose with Sulfamic Acid Using Ion-Exchange Resins as Catalysts.

Cellulose sulfates are important biologically active substances with a wide range of useful properties. The development of new methods for the production of cellulose sulfates is an urgent task. In this work, we investigated ion-exchange resins as catalysts for the sulfation of cellulose with sulfamic acid.

Microfibrillated Cellulose with a Lower Degree of Polymerization; Synthesis via Sulfuric Acid Hydrolysis under Ultrasonic Treatment.

A new approach is being considered for obtaining microfibrillated cellulose with a low degree of polymerization by sulfuric acid hydrolysis with simultaneous ultrasonic treatment under mild conditions (temperature 25 °C, 80% power control). Samples of initial cellulose, MCC, and MFC were characterized by FTIR, XRF, SEM, DLS, and TGA. It was found that a high yield of MFC (86.

Composition and Structure of Aspen () Hemicelluloses Obtained by Oxidative Delignification.

In this study, hemicelluloses of aspen wood () were obtained by oxidative delignification in an acetic acid-water-hydrogen peroxide medium at temperatures of 70-100 °C and a process time of 1-4 h. The maximum polysaccharide yield of up to 9.68 wt% was reported.

Molecular Characteristics and Antioxidant Activity of Spruce () Hemicelluloses Isolated by Catalytic Oxidative Delignification.

Spruce () wood hemicelluloses have been obtained by the noncatalytic and catalytic oxidative delignification in the acetic acid-water-hydrogen peroxide medium in a processing time of 3-4 h and temperatures of 90-100 °C. In the catalytic process, the HSO, MnSO, TiO, and (NH)MoO catalysts have been used. A polysaccharide yield of up to 11.

Sulfation of Diethylaminoethyl-Cellulose: QTAIM Topological Analysis and Experimental and DFT Studies of the Properties.

Sulfated cellulose derivatives are biologically active substances with anticoagulant properties. In this study, a new sulfated diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose derivative has been obtained. The effect of a solvent on the sulfation process has been investigated.
