A softwood bleached kraft pulp (SBKP) was subjected to electro-mediated oxidation in water with TEMPO or 4-acetamido-TEMPO without any chlorine-containing oxidant. Solid recovery ratios of water-insoluble fractions of the oxidized SBKPs were more than 80%, and C6-carboxylate contents increased up to approximately 1 mmol g−1after oxidation for 48 h. Significant amounts of C6-aldehyde groups (0.17–0.38 mmol g−1) were also formed in the oxidized SBKPs. The degree of polymerization decreased from 2,200 to 520 and 1,400 by the oxidation for 48 h with TEMPO at pH 10 and 4-acetamido-TEMPO at pH 6.8, respectively. The original cellulose I crystal structure and crystallinity of SBKP were maintained after the oxidation, indicating that all C6-oxidized groups were selectively formed on crystalline cellulose microfibril surfaces. The oxidized SBKPs with carboxylate contents of more than 0.9 mmol g−1were convertible to individual cellulose nanofibrils in yields of more than 80% by disintegration in water.
