  • Patent number: 11840585
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for derivatizing cellulose pulp at high solids content or even at a fully dry state without pretreating the cellulose, the method comprising preparing a reaction medium comprising urea and at least one derivatization reagent; carrying out a chemical derivatization reaction between the at least one derivatization reagent and the cellulose pulp in a reaction system comprising the cellulose pulp in contact with the reaction medium; and optionally purifying and/or recovering the derivatized cellulose product. The present description also relates to products obtainable using said method.
