  • Patent number: 10006152
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a precursor for the production of carbon- and activated carbon fibers according to the wet- or air-gap spinning method, in which a solution of lignin and a fiber-forming polymer in a suitable solvent is extruded through the holes of a spinning nozzle into a coagulation bath, the formed thread is stretched and subsequently treated, dried at an elevated temperature and then wound up. The lignin-containing thread is an economical starting material for the production of carbon- and activated carbon fibers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8454884
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cellulose carbamate spinning solution, the cellulose carbamate being dissolved in at least one ionic liquid. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the production of blown films in which a solution of cellulose carbamate in an ionic liquid is extruded into a coagulation bath, and also to the films produced with the method and the use thereof.

  • Patent number: 8263507
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cellulose carbamate spinning solution, the cellulose carbamate being dissolved in an ionic liquid. The invention relates furthermore to a method for the production of nonwovens in which the cellulose carbamate spinning solution is pressed through the holes of a nozzle bar and stretched by a multiple by means of an air flow. The formed fiber curtain is laid on a perforated conveyer belt, washed and dried. Likewise, the invention relates to nonwovens of this type and also the use thereof.

  • Publication number: 20090258227
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cellulose carbamate spinning solution, cellulose fibres and a method for the production thereof in which a solution of cellulose carbamate in an ionic liquid is pressed through the holes of a spinning nozzle. The shaped fibres are stretched in air and the cellulose carbamate is regenerated in an aqueous bath. Solvent is removed by washing and the fibre is subsequently dried.

  • Publication number: 20080287025
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of nonwovens, in which a solution of cellulose carbamate in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide is forced through the holes of a nozzle beam and is stretched by a multiple by means of an airflow. The fibre curtain which is formed is laid down on a perforated conveyer belt, washed and dried. The invention likewise relates to nonwovens of this type and the use thereof.
