Abstract

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.

S20: allowing the spinning solution obtained in S10 to stand for deaeration, and then extruding the spinning solution into a solidification bath at 40° C. to 70° C. to allow solidification molding to obtain a primary fiber,
wherein the solidification bath comprises the five-membered cyclic quaternary ammonium salt polymer with a mass percentage concentration of 0.01% to 2%;
S30: drawing and water-washing the primary fiber obtained in S20 to obtain an alginate fiber; and
