Chitosan hydrochloride is a kind of low toxicity, odorless organic cationic polymer. The following is an introduction of the properties, uses, preparation and safety information of chitosan hydrochloride: Properties: Chitosan hydrochloride has good solubility and gelling properties. It has excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. It has antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant and antioxidant properties. It has a certain adsorption effect on proteins and cell membranes. Uses: Environmental protection: can be used for wastewater treatment, soil remediation and so on.
Chitosan is made from chitin in the shell of lower animals and plants, such as arthropods (shrimp, crab), which exists widely in nature, and is deacetylated by adding alkali and heating. This product is non-toxic to the human body, and will not cause secondary pollution to the environment, so it has a wide range of uses in water treatment, food, medicine and agriculture. In water treatment, it is mainly used as polyelectrolyte coagulant, sludge dewatering agent and water purification agent. In food processing, as a flocculant in clarifying fruit juice products, it can promote the separation of solid and liquid, remove fruit acid and suspended solid particles from cloudy juice, increase transparency, and improve the quality and grade of products. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as antibacterial agent, anticoagulant, antiviral agent, anticancer agent, hemostatic agent and dialysis membrane. In agriculture, it is used as feed additive, plant pathogen antibacterial agent and plant seed surface covering agent. Chitosan hydrochloride, which is directly soluble in water, is a strong cationic chitosan derivative, which is expected to be a drug carrier under mild preparation conditions. The traditional method of chitosan hydrochloride has the following shortcomings: high requirements for raw chitosan, food grade hydrochloride with low ash content and low viscosity should be used. However, most of the industrial production is industrial grade chitosan with high ash content and large viscosity, and the hydrochloride obtained from such chitosan as raw materials has many impurities, and it is difficult to dissolve in water, and can not reach the index of hydrochloride. Compared with the industrial grade, the price of food grade chitosan is very high, and the production cost is greatly increased.
