Patent number: 4368078Abstract: A process for the xanthation of alkali-cellulose comprises the reaction of he alkali-cellulose with CS.sub.2 in excess with respect to the desired xanthate substitution degree at a pressure which increases from the initial 110 mm Hg to about 400-500 mm Hg and at a temperature increasing from about 21.degree. C. to about 23.degree.-25.degree. C. The unreacted CS.sub.2 is removed from the reactor, once the desired xanthate substitution degree is reached, by application of a vacuum. This viscose rayon continuous spinning process eliminates the need for the usual desulphuration phase for decreasing the sulphur content and for bleaching the product. The viscose obtained has reduced content of compounds capable of forming elementary sulphur. The regenerated cellulose yarn has improved characteristics as to the sulphur content and degree of whiteness.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1980Date of Patent: January 11, 1983Assignees: Snia Viscosa Societa Nazionale Industria Applicazioni Viscosa S.p.A., Asahi Kasei Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Gianfranco Angelini, Ugo Paoletti

Patent number: 4294731Abstract: A method for oven drying chemically modified cellulosic materials, especially fibers, having improved fluid absorbency involves incorporating into the cellulose structure while swollen an amphiphilic compound miscible with water which will not evaporate when the fiber is oven dried and will remain in the fiber to prevent collapse of the fiber as the water is removed. The improved method of drying the fibrous cellulosic material produces a product having saline absorbency about equal to that produced when the fibers are dried with a water-miscible solvent and avoids the use of volatile solvents and the disadvantages inherent therewith. The fibers provided by the invention are especially suitable for use in pads which are to be used for absorbing water and body fluids.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1980Date of Patent: October 13, 1981Assignee: Akzona IncorporatedInventor: Thomas C.

Patent number: 4289875Abstract: A process for the continuous filtration and aging of a viscose solution comprising xanthated alkali cellulose (XAC) is described wherein the XAC is continuously passed in a downstream direction through a series of aging tanks and a series of filter means. The aging tanks are so designed and arranged that the viscose solution is never partitioned into batches, as necessitated by common manufacturing systems, but constitutes a continuous, uninterrupted stream throughout aging filtration, deaeration and spinning. The filter means, standard plate and frame filters, are designed and installed in such a manner that the number of filter changes, or redressings, are substantially reduced in the aggregate, without increasing the number of filters now used in a standard plant, or sacrificing viscose quality. This results in less process interruption, loss of product, and less potential environmental pollution.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1979Date of Patent: September 15, 1981Assignee: Fiber Associates, IncorporatedInventors: Charles J. Geyer, Jr., Ben E. White

Patent number: 4145533Abstract: A method for recycling regenerated cellulose scrap such as uncoated cellophane and rayon produced in the viscose process. The regenerated cellulose scrap is first shredded into relatively small flakes and then emulsion-xanthated at a temperature ranging from 18.degree. to 30.degree.

The amount of regenerated cellulose scrap added to the solution is controlled to maintain the total cellulose concentration at from 3 to 5% by weight of the solution. At least 38% by weight carbon disulfide based on the weight of the cellulose is used in the solution and the solution is made up to contain from about 10.3 to 11.3% by weight sodium hydroxide based on the weight of the solution so that sufficient sodium hydroxide is present to give about 9.5 to 10.5% by weight in the resulting scrap viscose.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1978Date of Patent: March 20, 1979Assignee: Olin CorporationInventor: Dennis L.
