发明名称 Method for producing low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose
摘要 Provided is a method for producing low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose in which depolymerization capable of achieving a target viscosity in a short time is carried out safely after an etherification reaction step. More specifically, provided is a method for producing low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose having a degree of hydroxypropoxy substitution of from 9.5 to 16.0% by weight, comprising at least a step of reacting alkali cellulose with an etherifying agent and a step of carrying out depolymerization after the reaction.

主权项 1. A method for producing low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose having a degree of hydroxypropoxy substitution of from 9.5 to 16.0% by weight, comprising at least the steps of: reacting alkali cellulose with an etherifying agent to obtain low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose, and depolymerizing the obtained low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose, wherein the step of depolymerizing comprises adjusting an oxygen concentration in a reactor to 3 to 7.5% by volume, and wherein the hydroxypropylcellulose is insoluble in water, but soluble in an alkali solution.
