Oxidation of cellulose with periodate under aqueous conditions yields dialdehyde cellulose, a promising functional cellulose derivative. The main obstacles for this oxidation have been its slow kinetics and the dilute reaction conditions, requiring considerable amounts of water and energy. In this study, these drawbacks are overcome by conducting the oxidation at high cellulosic pulp consistency with a cellulose/water weight ratio of 1:4. The oxidizer, cellulose, and water are efficiently mixed ...[more]
