FAQS on carboxymethylated cellulose
Q: What is carboxymethylated cellulose?
A: Carboxymethylated cellulose (CMC) is a water-soluble derivative of cellulose, modified by introducing carboxymethyl groups to enhance its solubility and functional properties for industrial applications.
Q: What are the key steps in the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose manufacturing process?
A: The process involves alkalization of cellulose with sodium hydroxide, followed by etherification with monochloroacetic acid, and finally purification to obtain sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC).
Q: How does sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solubility vary with pH?
A: Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is highly soluble in water at neutral to alkaline pH but may precipitate under acidic conditions due to protonation of carboxyl groups.
Q: What applications benefit from carboxymethylated cellulose's solubility?
A: Its solubility makes it ideal for food additives, pharmaceuticals (as a binder), and industrial uses like detergents and coatings where viscosity control is critical.
Q: Why does temperature affect sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solubility?
A: Higher temperatures generally increase solubility by accelerating molecular dispersion, but excessive heat may degrade the polymer, reducing its effectiveness.
