摘要：APS is a cheap and eco-friendly oxidant which enables one-step extraction of nanochitin (NCh) from fishery wastes. However, it is challenging to improve the preparation efficiency and NCh quality simultaneously, owing to the uneven or uncontrollable oxidation. Herein, we propose a simple and controllable way to isolate chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) from squid pen by gradient heating activated (GHA)- ammonium persulfate (APS) oxidation. Compared to the isothermal activated (ITA)-APS oxidation, our strategy reduced the mass ratio of squid pen to APS from 1:45 to 1:6 and reaction time from 15 h to 8 h. Meanwhile, the as-prepared ChNFs exhibited high yield (91.5 %), light transmittance (98 % at 500 nm), crystallinity index (96.9 %), and carboxyl content (1.53 mmol/ g). GHA-APS oxidation involved multiple continuous heating and isothermal stages. The former stimulates a moderate activation of APS and enhances the oxidation rate, while the latter provides a duration for surface chemistry. This non-isothermal heating facilitates the continuous decomposition of APS at a relatively high and consistent rate, thereby enhances its oxidation efficiency. Furthermore, green assessments indicate this method is simple, time-saving, eco-friendly and cost-effective. Overall, this work introduces a novel perspective for the industrial extraction of high-efficiency and high-quality nanomaterials.
