Chemical transformations of cellulose macromolecules caused by oxidants Part 7. Chemical transformations of cellulose due to its oxidation with sodium hypochlorite

Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    Chemical changes in the structure of cotton cellulose due to oxidation with sodium hypochlorite at different pH have been investigated by means of specific quantitative micromethods.

  2. 2.

    The following groups have been found in the oxycellulose obtained by hypochlorite oxidation: uronic and non-uronic carboxylic groups, C8 aldehydic groups,α-hydroketonic and lactone groups, and carbonic acid ester (ether) groupings.

  3. 3.

    The oxycelluloses obtained by oxidation in acid and neutral solution have a similar structure, different from that obtained in alkaline solution.

  4. 4.

    A reaction mechanism is advanced for the oxidative degradation of cellulose by action of sodium hypochlorite at various pH. This mechanism satisfactorily explains the chemical behaviour of the oxidation products.

  5. 5.

    The various oxidative processes shown to occur may be utilized for the better control of such processes, and for the preparation of cellulose oxidation products of known properties.
