Abstract: The present invention provides a meltblown wetlaid method for producing non-woven fabrics from natural cellulose using pulp as raw material and N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) as solvent for dissolving into dope. The dope is then extruded out of a spinneret to form filament bundle by meltblown method. Subsequently, by means of ejecting mist aerosol of water, the filament bundle is coagulated with regeneration. Via post treatments of water rinsing, hydro-entangled needle punching, drying, winding-up and the like have been orderly applied, then final product of nonwoven fabrics with continuous filament are produced from natural cellulose.

Abstract: The present invention provides a “spunbond wetlaid method for producing non-woven fabrics from natural cellulose” using pulp as raw material and N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) as solvent for dissolving into dope. Then, the dope is extruded out of a spinneret to form filament bundle by spunbond method.

The stretched filament bundle is collected and stacked on a collecting net as web nonwoven. After post treatments of water rinsing, hydro-entangled needle punching, drying, winding-up and the like have been orderly applied then final product of nonwoven fabrics with continuous filament are produced from natural cellulose.

Abstract: The present invention relates a processing method for nano-miniaturizing chitosan of modifying property, which degrades the chitosan of high molecular weight down to the chitosan of middle and low molecular weight, then primarily nano-miniaturizes the interim chitosan by quaternary ammonium salt/synthesis, finally yield the nano-miniaturized chitosan of modified property by sol-gel method to have features in good biocompatibility and bioactivity to be served as additive material in products of cosmetics, medical treatment, hygiene, health care, biomedicine, agriculture, textile, food and so like so that not only the antiseptic, moisture-retentive and deodorizing capabilities can be promoted but also the processing cost can be reduced due to easiness of the mass production.

Abstract: The present invention provides a processing method of the natural cellulose fiber with feature for enhancing the capability of antifungi, antibacteria and deodorization. The procedure is that firstly modify and reduce the properties of the natural chitosan of high polymer material to nanometer scale; secondly dunk the chitosan into the syrup-like mixture of wood pulp and NMMO solvent to yield quasi-dope; thirdly dehydrate the quasi-dope of paste mixture to form the mud-like dope; fourthly spin the dope by dryjet wet spinning method; fifthly regenerate the filament in coagulation bath, water rinse and dry; finally water rinse, dry, apply the lubricant to finish. The water soluble chitosan, which has been treated by property modification and reduced to nanometer scale, can effectively and completely solve in the cellulose of low DP to offer wider extent of selection in the DP and better flexibility of adding percentage in content of modified chitosan.

Abstract: A method of recovering an aqueous N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) solution used in production of Lyocell fiber includes: decoloring the aqueous NMMO solution by mixing the same with activated carbon using an agitation blower and by alternately energizing and de-energizing the agitation blower to contact the activated carbon with the aqueous NMMO solution thoroughly in an energy-efficient manner; filtering the aqueous NMMO solution which has been decolored through coarse filtration followed by ultrafiltration to remove the activated carbon and impurities from the aqueous NMMO solution; and concentrating the aqueous NMMO solution which has been filtered using one of a mechanical vapor recompression evaporator and a triple effect evaporator to remove water from the aqueous NMMO solution.

Abstract: A manufacturing process of cellulose solution with low viscosity includes the step of dissolving a cellulose in a mixture solvent which is produced by mixing an additional solvent mixture, N-methylol caprolactom, with a main solvent, N-methyl morpholine oxide. The present invention not only can increase the swelling of the pulp during the dissolving process, but also can lower the viscosity of the cellulose solution that enables the manufacturing process to process at lower temperature and the cellulose solution produced to spin in higher spinning speed. Therefore, the physical property and the quality of the final fiber product are improved by eliminating the problem of cellulose polymerization decay.

Abstract: A polyurethane elastic fiber is prepared from a polyurethane prepolymer by reaction extruding the polyurethane prepolymer and a chain extender, preferably with twin-screw extruder, and melt spinning the resulting polyurethane elastomer from the extrusion.
