Abstract:

In order to improve the solubility and utilization of waste wool fiber, a new type of reducing ionic liquid-choline thioglycolate, was employed for wool dissolution in the reported research. The dissolution process of a single wool fibre in choline thioglycolate was carefully observed using polarizing optical microscope. The wool keratin extracted at different temperatures was characterized through fourier transform infrared spectrometer,X-ray diffraction,differential scanning calorimetry and SDS-PAGE in detail. The results show that choline thioglycolate is able to effectively destroy the disulfide bonds in wool keratin, thus achieving efficient dissolution of the wool cortex and scales. At 120 ℃, the dissolution of wool in choline thioglycolate reached up to 16%, and the regenerated wool keratin retained the main body structure. However, compared with raw wool fibers, the α-helix content in the regenerated keratin and the molecular weight decreased, and the keratin macromolecules degraded seriously under higher temperature.

Key words: wool, keratin, choline thioglycolate, ionic liquid, disulfide bond
