Popis: Optimized conditions for preparation of dissolving pulp from sugar cane bagasse are : sulfuric acid prehydrolysis for 90 minutes at 120°C, followed by sodium hydroxide pulping for 120 minutes at 165°C, in the presence of 0,05% anthraquinone catalyst, followed by a four-stage conventional chlorine-based bleaching. The α-cellulose content, ash content, and degree of polymerization of the produced dissolving pulp are : > 95%, < 0.15% and 780, respectively. It was acetylated under homogeneous solution condition, its reaction with acetyl chloride in 9% LiCl/N,N-dimethylacetamide, in the presence of pyridine, or N,N-dimethyl-aniline catalyst, yielded acetate esters whose degree of acetylation is 2.65 ± 0.10, with no degradation of the natural polymer.
