Description

Method for modification of cellulose
The present invention concerns a method according to the preamble of claim 1 for oxidizing cellulose.
According to the present method a cellulose-containing substrate is brought into contact with a reagent producing an oxoammonium ion in the presence of an oxidation agent. The reaction is preferably carried out in a liquid medium and the reaction product is separated from the medium after the reaction.
Pulp fibres contain cellulose as the major carbohydrate. By converting the primary alcohol groups of cellulose into carboxylic or aldehyde groups, the propeπies of cellulose can be modified. Thus, to mention an example, new carboxylic groups can be introduced into cellulose or a cellulose-based material by oxidation. Such carboxylic groups will affect the properties of cellulosic pulps: by increasing the carboxylic group content, the swelling and as a result the fibre flexibility can be increased. On an average, kraft pulps contain 30 to 150 mmol carboxylic groups/kg (3).
Carboxylic groups can be also generated onto different cellulose textile fibres, e.g. cotton and linen, in order to obtain novel properties for the end-product. For instance, the increase in carboxylic group content in cotton or linen will increase the water absorbency and subsequently affect fabric properties. Furthermore, by increasing the carboxylic group content in recycled fibres or in mechanical fibres the technical properties can be up-graded.
Nitrogen oxides have been used in chemical oxidation of carbohydrates (4). The disadvantage of oxidation with nitrogen oxides is that the method is not selective to primary alcohol groups. Also the secondary OH-groups are oxidized, which will cause depolymerization.
Semmelhack et al. (1983) showed that primary alcohol groups can be selectively oxidised by a stable organic nitroxyl radical TEMPO. The actual oxidant is the oxoammonium ion, which can be obtained from TEMPO by chemical oxidation. Several oxidants e.g. hypohalites are able to oxidise TEMPO to oxoammonium ion. The oxidation of various natural occuring polysaccharides is discussed by Chang and Robyt (2).
To complete the survey it should be mentioned that Krishna et al (8) have studied studied the mechanism of superoxide dismutation by various 5- and 6-membered nitroxides. The superoxide was enzymatically generated.
The present invention is based on the idea that TEMPO can be enzymatically oxidized with, e.g. phenoloxidases such as laccases. to the oxoammonium ion. Therefore, laccases can be used to replace chemical oxidants which may be hazardous or even toxic. The present invention thus provides for oxidation of carbohydrates in cellulosic fibres by enzymatically oxidizing TEMPO.
More specifically, the present invention is mainly characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
Considerable advantages are obtained by the present invention. A method for selective oxidation is provided, which gives rise to the formation of carboxylic and carbonyl groups at desired ratios in the cellulose. By using a phenoloxidase as the regenerative oxidant it is possible to avoid the environmentally harmfull halide-containing materials commonly used as oxidants. The final electron acceptor is oxygen or hydrogen peroxide, which clearly diminishes the formation of by-products in the reaction system and which will make it easier to separate and purify the product. Furthermore, when oxidative enzymes, such as a phenoloxidase. are used as regenerative oxidants the oxidation can be carried out at mild reaction conditions: room temperature and about neutral pH.
Next the invention will be examined more closely with the aid of a detailed description and with reference to a number of working examples. The attached drawing depicts schematically the reactions of TEMPO in a oxidation system. Figure 1A shows the oxidation of TEMPO by chemical oxidants and Figure IB gives the corresponding presentation of the situation according to the present invention wherein the oxidation is achieved by enzymes.
As Figures 1 A and IB will show, the stable nitroxylradical (species 1) is oxidized to the oxoammonium ion (species 2). which oxidizes the alcohol group (RCF OH) e.g. to aldehyde (RCHO). while the oxoammonium ion at the same time is reduced to hydroxylamine (species 3).
The regenerative oxidant used in the case of Figure 1A is hypochlorite and in Figure IB oxygen. In the first case, a catalytic amount of bromide is introduced into the reaction. The bromide will be oxidized to hypobromite which is a stronger oxidant than hypochlorite.
As mentioned above, different kinds of oxidative enzymes can be used. In particular, oxidative enzymes known to be capable of catalyzing oxidation of phenolic groups are used. These enzymes are often called phenoloxidases (E.C. I.10.3.2 benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase) and they catalyze the oxidation of o- and p-substuted phenolic hydroxyl and amino/amine groups in monomeric and polymeric aromatic compounds. The phenoloxidases include oxidases and peroxidases. "Oxidases" are enzymes which catalyze oxidative reaction using molecular oxygen as their substrate, whereas "peroxidases" enzymes which catalyze oxidative reactions using hydrogen peroxide as their substrate.
As specific examples of oxidases the following can be mentioned: laccases (EC 1.10.3.2), catechol oxidases (EC 1.10.3.1), tyrosinases and bilirubin oxidases (EC 1.3.3.5). Preferably, the enzymes used in the present invention are laccases. The laccases can be produced by white rot fungi, in particular by strains Trametes (formerly Coriolus) versicolor or hirsnta or villosa. Other known producers of laccase are the strains of the following genera: Agaricus. Armillaria. Aspergillus. Botrytis, Fusarium. Lentinus. Monocillium. Neurospora. Phlebia. Polyporus. Podospora. Pycnoporus and Schizophyll m.
The invention is not. however, limited to the indicated origins of the enzyme nor to the isolation method, and the enzyme can also be obtained by other methods.
Thus, it is possible to produce the fenoloxidase enzyme by microorganisms, which have been mutated or genetically constructed to produce the desired enzyme, or by other production host strains, to which the gene encoding this enzyme has been transfered.
The amount of laccase used can be about 1 to 1000 nkat/g cellulose. The oxidation can be carried out in liquid phase, because TEMPO is water-soluble. The temperature is about 10 to 70 °C, preferably about 20 to 40 °C and the pH is 3 to 9. The amount of TEMPO is 0.01 to 50 weight- % , preferably about 0.1 to 20 weigth-% , calculated from the amount of cellulose.
In practice, the reaction is carried out by dissolving a selected amount of TEMPO (in the form of the stable nitroxyl radical) into water; and suspending cellulose-containing substrate into the water phase to obtain a dry matter content of about 0.1 to 20 weigth-%. A buffering agent can be added to the water to adjust the pH of the reaction medium to a value suitable for the laccase treatment (preferably 4 or higher). After the addition of laccase oxygen is introduced into the reaction mixture either as (pure) gas or as an airstream while agitating the mixture. The duration of the oxygen introduction will take about 10 min to 24 hours, depending on the amount of substrate to be oxidized. After the reaction, the oxidized cellulosic material is separated from the liquid by filtration, it is washed and dried, if required.
As mentioned above, peroxidases can also being used as oxidative enzymes for oxidizing TEMPO. In that case, the final electron acceptor is hydrogen peroxide.
As a result of the oxidation according to the present invention, an oxidized cellulose- containing material is obtained in which a part of the primary OH groups have been converted to carbonyl and carboxylic groups.
The method can be used for oxidizing fibres, in particular fibres of natural sources, such as cellulose from annual or perennial plants or trees. These fibres typically contain some residues of the other components present in the source of origin, such as lignin and hemicellulose. in the case of cellulose fibres from tree pulp, and pectins in the case of cotton. As specific examples of oxidation substrates, fibres obtained from mechanical, chemical, chemimechamcal or recycled pulps can be mentioned. These kinds of oxidized pulps can be used for preparing paper or boards having improved properties, in particular improved paper technical properties, flexibility, WRV and strength properties.
The method can also be employed for oxidizing cellulosic textile fibres, yarns and fabrics. These materials typically comprise cellulosic textile fibres selected from cotton, linen, hemp, ramie and viscose. Oxidation of the materials will increase the caboxylic group content of the fibres, yarns and fabrics and thus affect the properties thereof. Further TEMPO-based oxidation will provide fibres, yarns and fabric with modified properties selected from the group of handle, drapability, softness and water absorbency.
Finally, it should be noted that the use of traditional oxidants. such as hypochlorite and - bromide for oxidization of cellulose fibres (defined above) via TEMPO is not disclosed in the prior art.
The following non-limiting examples illustrate the invention.
