Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing ultrafine fibrous cellulose, which is capable of efficiently obtaining ultrafine fibrous cellulose having phosphoric acid groups with a high yield. The present invention relates to a method for producing fibrous cellulose having a fiber width of 1000 nm or less, comprising: a (A) of introducing phosphoric acid groups into cellulose fibers to form crosslinked structures via the phosphoric acid groups, thereby obtaining crosslinked phosphorylated cellulose fibers, a (B) of breaking some or all of the crosslinked structures to obtain crosslink-broken phosphorylated cellulose fibers, and a (C) of performing a mechanical treatment on the crosslink-broken phosphorylated cellulose fibers to obtain fibrous cellulose having a fiber width of 1000 nm or less, wherein, in the (A), crosslinked structures in an amount of 0.05 mmol/g or more and 2.0 mmol/g or less are formed, and the (B) is a step of performing the hydrolysis of the crosslinked structures in an aqueous solvent with pH 3 or more.
