摘要: The low-temperature dissolution mechanism of chitin in NaOH/urea aqueous solution has not been well established yet, especially at a temperature that lowers the crystallization both NaOH and urea. Using multiple nuclei (H-1, N-15 Na-23) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods, we find ternary NaOH/urea/D2O system, different from fully frozen binary NaOH-D2O exhibits solid-liquid phase coexistence below -40 degrees C, residual liquid consists certain concentrations (10 wt%), urea (13 wt%) D2O C. Our NMR results further demonstrate dissolves (containing 5-10 wt% 8-12 urea) low temperatures (-40 -70 C). An important role is enhancing stability solutions then increasing range chitin, thus providing an essential environment for dissolution.
