Abstract: A process for obtaining a dope dyed lyocell fibre can include the steps of (a) mixing one or more pigment with an aqueous organic solvent to obtain a slurry; (b) applying vacuum to said slurry to remove excess water content to obtain a masterbatch (c) mixing the masterbatch obtained in step (b) to a lyocell dope to obtain a pigmented dope; and (d) extruding said pigmented dope of step (c) through a spinneret to form dope dyed lyocell fiber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a cellulose dope comprising mixing and dissolving the cellulosic raw material in dilute and concentrated aqueous organic solvent in a two-stage process to form a homogeneous slurry, followed by heating the homogeneous slurry to obtain a cellulose dope containing 11% to 20% cellulose by weight. The invention also relates to a cellulose dope comprising 11% to 20% cellulose by weight and 73% to 79% aqueous organic solvent wherein the concentration of the cellulosic and metallic impurities in the cellulose dope shows a percent reduction of 20% to 50% from the cellulosic raw material.
