Abstract: The composition proposed in the present invention is a cellulose gel consisting of no less than 13 wt.% of hemicelluloses in an aqueous solution of a compound selected from the group consisting of carbamide, thiocarbamide, alkyl-substituted thiocarbamide derivatives, sodium thiocyanate, sodium iodide, sodium perchlorate and mixture thereof.According to the invention, said composition is subjected to beating in an aqueous solution of said compound to a beating degree of 0-1 units by the Canadian standard.The present invention allows the elimination of neutralization and washing from the technological process of producing paper or non-woven material thus reducing considerably the duration of the technological cycle. The ultimate breaking strength for the end product is increased by 30% and the bursting strength of 20-30%.

Abstract: In the apparatus of the invention a slot nozzle is arranged on an outlet of a pipe for supplying an air-fibre dispersion stream into a chamber with said nozzle disposed therein so that the slot of the nozzle is perpendicular to chamber side walls. A body with a curvilinear cambered plane is disposed in the chamber and is essentially a cylinder with a generatrix length of no less than the nozzle slot length. Said cylinder has a diameter no less than 1.2 times the nozzle slot width and is spaced under said nozzle at 0.3 to 1.0 cylinder diameter. In addition, a spacial lattice, spanning over a chamber cross-section for smoothing the air-fibre stream, is placed under the cylinder 2 to 6 diameters of the latter down stream from the nozzle and the cylinder.
