How to improve the flame retardancy of lyocell fibers has become an important issue in textile industry. Herein, lyocell fibers were firstly undergone etherification reaction between sodium chloroacetate and the hydroxyl groups of lyocell fibers to obtain carboxymethylated lyocell fibers (CM-lyocell), then the sodium ions of CM-lyocell were replaced by aluminum ions, and the flame retardant lyocell fibers (FR-lyocell) were prepared. Compared with lyocell fibers, the degradation temperature of FR-lyocell decreased by about 80 °C, and the char residue in nitrogen increased from 15.1 to 31.8 wt% at 800 °C. Importantly, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of FR-lyocell fabric was increased from 17.2 to 26.4%. Besides, the peak of heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) of FR-lyocell had 77.4% and 76.3% reduction, respectively. The FR-lyocell can generate a highly graphitized char layer and release more water at high temperatures, which are beneficial to improving the flame retardancy of lyocell fibers. Moreover, the tensile test showed that the tensile strength of FR-lyocell decreased from 3.95 to 3.08 cN/dtex with a 22% reduction, showing good strength retention.
