An alginate fiber and a preparation method thereof are provided. The preparation method of the alginate fiber includes: S10: preparing a spinning solution with a raw material including sodium alginate; S20: extruding the spinning solution obtained in S10 into a solidification bath to allow solidification molding to obtain a primary fiber; S30: drawing and water-washing the primary fiber obtained in S20 to obtain an alginate fiber; and S40: soaking the alginate fiber obtained in S30 in a finishing agent to allow a post-treatment, where at least one of the raw material in S10, the solidification bath in S20, and the finishing agent in S30 includes a five-membered cyclic quaternary ammonium salt polymer. The alginate fiber obtained above has a high dye uptake, a small fiber strength loss, and a high soaping fastness.

Alginate fiber and preparation method thereof

A method for preparing a salt-resistant and detergent-resistant alginate fiber by contacting and infiltrating a finished alginate fiber with a borate-containing adjuvant solution and using selected proper raw materials in selected proportions and reaction conditions. The preparation method solves the problem that the alginate fiber and a fabric made therefrom are neither salt-resistant nor detergent-resistant. The borate-modified alginate fiber and a fabric made therefrom have excellent salt resistances, and can be washed with an alkaline detergent. The swelling degree of the alginate fiber modified by the adjuvant solution can be reduced to 39.8% after the fiber is immersed in a normal saline at 30&#xb0; C. for 72 h and can be reduced to 55.3% after the fiber is immersed in a standard detergent for 24 h, while the fiber maintains its original morphology without any obvious dissolution phenomenon, and the self flame-resisting performance of the alginate fiber is also maintained.
