The acetylation of cellulose using sulfonated Amberlyst 15 as a new and reusable catalyst was investigated. Optimization of the acetylation process was carried out by variation in the amount of added catalyst, acetic acid, and acetic anhydride as well as the reaction conditions, which includes reaction time and reaction medium. Cellulose acetate, with a degree of substitution (DS) value of 2.38 and yield of 54.1%, was obtained under the optimized conditions and characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis–derivative thermogravimetry (TGA–DTG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The sulfonated polymer catalyst could be easily recovered by centrifugation after acetylation. Both the fresh and recovered catalysts were characterized by means of FTIR, TGA–DTG, DSC, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the recovered catalyst could be successfully reused without further treatment. It was found that Amberlyst 15 possessed excellent catalytic stability, no significant changes in the DS values, and consistent yields of cellulose acetate observed over four reaction cycles.
In this work, bacterial cellulose (BC) was activated by ethylenediamine (EDA) and then dissolved in lithium chloride/N,N-dimethylacetamide (LiCl/DMAc) aqueous solutions. The resulting transparent solution was cast on a glass plate to prepare regenerated BC. Then cationic BC was prepared homogeneously by the reaction between regenerated BC and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) in a NaOH/urea aqueous solution. Structure and properties of the BC and its products were characterized by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that there was no significant difference between the structures of BC, activated BC and regenerated BC. The effects of different temperature and molar ratio of CHPTAC to anhydroglucose unit (AGU) on the degree of substitution (DS) value were examined. The DS values of cationic BC ranged between 0.21 and 0.51.
