Inline dilution of microfibrillated cellulose
The present invention relates a process and a system for the point-of-use dilution of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) from a higher solids content to a lower solids content, for example from a solids content in the range of 5% weight by weight (w/w)-50% w/w, preferably 5% w/w-30% w/w, further preferably 5% w/w-15% w/w, down to a solids content of below 7% w/w, preferably below 5% w/w, preferably to a solids content of 0.01% w/w-5% w/w, further preferably to a solids content of 0.1% w/w-3% w/w. The process at least comprises the following steps: (i) providing microfibrillated cellulose in a solvent, wherein the solids content is in the range of 5% weight by weight (w/w)-50% w/w, preferably 5% w/w-30% w/w, further preferably 5 w/w-15% w/w; (ii) subjecting said microfibrillated cellulose from step (i) to a dilution step in a rotor-stator mixer; (iii) simultaneously to step (ii): injecting solvent into the rotor-stator mixer, or into a volume segment upstream of the rotor-stator mixer, in order to lower the solids content of the microfibrillated cellulose in the rotor-stator mixer.

High-strength network structured nano-carrier material and preparation method and application thereof
A high-strength network structured nano-carrier material and a preparation method and application thereof. A nano-cellulose solution and graphene are mixed and ultrasonication is performed in an ultrasonic pulverizer to obtain a nano-cellulose/graphene suspension. The suspension with a phenolic resin adhesive is mixed and stirred to obtain a nano-cellulose/graphene/phenolic resin suspension. The nano-cellulose/graphene/phenolic resin suspension is injected into a mold. The mold is placed in a freeze dryer for freezing and vacuum dried in two stages to obtain a nano-cellulose/graphene/phenolic resin aerogel. The aerogel is preheated and cured in a muffle furnace, then subjected to a high-temperature thermal decomposition treatment in a tube furnace to obtain a nano-carrier material having a high-strength network structure. The preparation method is simple and convenient, low in cost, environmentally friendly and green. The obtained carrier material has a good water resistance and a high mechanical property, and can carry more active substances.
