Abstract
TMAHP derivatives were prepared by the reaction of beech sawdust with CHMAC in alkaline medium. The examination of the reaction conditions showed that the most suitable molar ratio was NaOH/CHMAC = 1.8 (1 ml 17.5% NaOH/1 mL 50% CHMAC). At this ratio the maximum degree of substitution expressed by the exchange capacity of 0.35 mmol/g of modified sawdust was obtained by using 1.5–2mL of 50% aqueous solution of CHMAC/g sawdust. The optimal reaction time at 60°C was 2 h. This condition gave yields of modified sawdust above 90% and soluble derivatives mainly consisting of hemicelluloses up to 12%.
