  • Patent number: 10619012
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a homogeneous spinning solution for the production of acrylic fibers, which includes: preparing an aqueous suspension of homopolymer or copolymer of acrylonitrile through the polymerization of monomers in aqueous suspension, removal of the unreacted monomers, filtration and washing of the aqueous suspension, obtaining a filtration cake; dispersing the filtration cake; and evaporating the dispersion of polymer or obtaining the homogeneous spinning solution.

  • Publication number: 20180179667
    Abstract: A process is described for the preparation of a homogeneous spinning solution for the production of acrylic or modacrylic fibers which comprises the following steps: i) preparation of an intimate mixture of a homopolymer or copolymer of acrylonitrile in powder form with a solid solvent in powder form, at a temperature lower than the melting point of the solid solvent; ii) gradually heating the intimate mixture of solids coming from step i) to a temperature ranging from 70° C. to 150° C. in a time ranging from 0.5 to 30 minutes, until the complete dissolution of the homopolymer or copolymer in the solvent and the formation of a homogeneous spinning solution. Said spinning solution is then fed to a storage tank or to the spinning line.

  • Patent number: 9296889
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a homogeneous spinning solution for the production of acrylic fibers comprising: i) preparation of a homogeneous suspension by mixing a powder homopolymer or copolymer of acrylonitrile with a mixture of DMSO/water ranging from 94.5/5.5 to 97/3% w/w at a temperature ranging from 5° C. to 10° C., said mixing being carried out in a time from 5 to 30 minutes, by spraying a stream of the DMSO/water solvent onto a stream of powder homopolymer or copolymer of acrylonitrile, disgregated and premixed; ii) heating the homogeneous suspension from step i) to a temperature from 70° C. to 150° C. in a time from 0.5 to 30 minutes, until the complete dissolution of the homopolymer or copolymer and the formation of a homogeneous solution. This spinning solution is then fed to a storage tank or to the spinning line.
