Abstract

It is shown that cellulose can be acetylated with acetic anhydride in supercritical carbon dioxide in the absence of traditional catalysts, toxic solvents, and dilutants. As substrates, three cellulose samples were tested: sulfite and sulfate cellulose and cellulose obtained by low-temperature delignification in a supercritical carbon dioxide medium. The chemical composition of the cellulose diacetate product is characterized.
