Animal and plant waste turned into new textile materials

Protein synthetic fiber is a new material developed from natural animal and plant protein. Because its quality is like silk and cashmere, it is rich in raw materials. Animal milk residue, casein, hair, plant soybean cake can be used as raw materials, and the scope of application Widely featured, and attracted great attention from the industry, it is called a major breakthrough in textile new materials.

Fuyang City, Henan Province, Tianyuan Protein Fiber Company from the research and development of protein fiber research to the pilot test, and then to industrial production, after 10 years of hard development. Recently, the first phase of the project was completed and put into operation in the industrial cluster area of ​​Yucheng, Fan County, Fuyang.

8 patents in 10 years

Protein fiber is put into production smoothly

With the improvement of living standards, people are more and more advocating nature, pursuing comfort, health care and beauty, so natural fibers are favored by consumers. However, the production of natural fiber is restricted by many factors. The sheep are restricted by grassland, the silk is affected by the mulberry and the labor force, and the cotton is affected by the land.

So, can you invent a new material like natural protein fiber? In order to realize this dream, Germany, Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries have experienced more than a century of exploration. In the 1970s, Japan’s Toyobo Co., Ltd. developed a protein fiber grafted with acrylonitrile from New Zealand milk. Become the world's first manufacturer to achieve industrial production of protein fiber. However, due to the shortage of raw materials and the excessive cost, the production capacity has not been expanded for more than 30 years.

Talking about the hardships of R&D, the chairman of the company, Zhuo Baosong, said: "First, we don't have enough research funds, we have to rely on ourselves to prepare for the money; second, the lack of professionals, protein synthetic fibers involve biology, chemicals, textiles. In the three major technical fields, several of us are 'outside the Han'; third, the lack of experimental instruments, the molecular weight, molecular structure, amino acid sequence of the protein can not be determined. However, we have the belief and perseverance that we insist on. That is, we have self-raised funds from the knowledge of student physics, polymer chemistry, and fiber technology, and established a small pilot plant. After more than 100 small trials, we have gradually mastered cutting-edge technologies such as animal and plant protein extraction methods. "In the end, the company draws on foreign experience and lessons, combined with China's national conditions, in the principle of using waste, saving resources and benefiting from environmental protection, after 10 years of research, it has gone through thousands of hardships, costing 12 million yuan, and finally making protein fiber. The study was successful.

According to Zhuo Baosong, the company has established a medium-sized pilot plant. It has teamed up with 10 colleges and universities and 19 experts and professors. After more than 400 medium-sized tests, it successfully developed successful protein fiber and obtained 7 national inventions. Patent and 1 utility model patent.

In October 2007, Xiangyang Tianyuan Protein Fiber Company invested a total of 400 million yuan, covering an area of ​​130,000 square meters, and started construction in the gathering area. The project is planned to be 6 production lines with an annual production capacity of 15,000 tons. The entire project will be constructed in three phases. At present, the first phase of investment is 100 million yuan, and an annual production capacity of 2,500 tons of protein fiber production line has been built. The second phase of the annual production of 12,500 tons of protein fiber project will start construction in the first half of next year.

Turning waste into treasure

New material quality is low cost

Entering the company's tall and spacious production workshop, the reporter saw that various tank towers were lined up, pipes were densely packed, and the equipment was arranged in an orderly manner. According to the company's technical staff, the protein fiber is made from animal and plant waste, and the spinning solution is made by denaturation, dissociation, side chain modification of the macromolecule with the macromolecular polymer, and then through the stock solution-spinning – Heat treatment – ​​hydroformylation – dyeing and finishing – 6 processes of finished packaging, a series of special equipment, complete the whole process of protein fiber production. Zhuo Baosong said that the project is a key project of Xiangyang City. The city leaders and relevant departments attach great importance to it. They have visited the site many times to understand the progress of the project and coordinate the solution.

In the company's product showroom, a variety of protein fiber textiles are dazzling. Here, protein fiber fabrics are colorful; protein fiber knitted underwear, sweaters, novel and unique; protein fiber blankets, light and soft; protein fiber wigs, to fake real. The fiber has the luster of silk, the softness of cashmere, the strength of chemical fiber, and the fabric is noble and gorgeous.

Ma Quanming, director of the company's product development center and senior engineer, told reporters: "This protein synthetic fiber is made from waste materials such as animal milk residue, casein, waste hair, dander and plant soy cake, peanut cake, rapeseed cake and so on. It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Protein fiber not only makes agricultural and livestock by-products waste, but the price is less than 20% of Japanese milk protein fiber."

The characteristics of the new protein synthetic fiber products are also very obvious: First, the spinnability is good, and can be blended with various fibers such as cotton, wool, hemp, silk and chemical fiber to achieve industrial upgrading; secondly, the coloring property is good, and the dye is widely used and active. , acidic, neutral dyes "take all", and the color is pure, color fastness, dyeing, printing, jacquard can be either loose fiber dyeing, yarn dyeing or piece dyeing; third is physical properties, strength High, breathable, hygroscopic, quick-drying, skin-friendly; four is a wide range of applications, can be used for knitted underwear, sweaters, fabrics, bedspreads, quilts, bath towels, blankets and other home textiles and wigs.

Ma Quanming proudly stated that the protein fiber products produced by the company have won the "Millennium Gold Award" from the Shanghai World Expo and the UN organization. At the same time as the completion of the first phase of the project, the company also held an unveiling ceremony for the cooperation between enterprises and schools with the Henan Institute of Engineering. The enterprises and schools jointly awarded each other the “talent reserve base” and the “talent training base” plaque.
