DOMESTIC CELLULOSE FIBER – A PROMISING RAW MATERIAL FOR THE RUSSIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY
UDC 666.022.34
Abstract
The article is devoted to a promising source of cellulose fibrous raw materials in Russia - hemp fiber, which can effectively compete with similar European products in terms of quantitative and qualitative indicators. However, the coarseness and rigidity of hemp fibers limit their use only to the field of technical textiles. The solution to this problem lies in the development of methods for modifying their bast bundles and obtaining cotton- or wool-like fiber. The paper studies the effect of mechanochemical treatment conditions (temperature, concentration of chemical reagents) of different grades of hemp fiber on the removal of its natural impurities (pectin compounds, hemicellulose and lignin). It is proven that the introduction of a reducing agent (sodium sulfide) significantly accelerates the delignification process, providing a deeper splitting of complex fibers and bringing their characteristics closer to cotton-like standards. A comparison with similar treatment of flax fiber is made.
