Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process of preparing a regenerated cellulose fiber. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process of preparing a regenerated cellulose fiber, which comprises preparing a cellulose carbonate derivative, preparing a cellulose solution for spinning, and wet-spinning the cellulose solution. The present invention also includes the regenerated cellulose fiber prepared by the method of this invention.
- Cellulose is one of the natural organic resources on earth, from which regenerated cellulose fiber has been obtained.
- One is a direct solvent system method in which natural cellulose is directly dissolved in a solvent to prepare a cellulose solution and a spinning process of the cellulose solution is conducted.
- the other is an indirect solvent system method in which a cellulose derivative is prepared from the natural cellulose, the cellulose derivative is dissolved in a solvent to prepare a cellulose solution and a spinning process of the cellulose solution is conducted.
- a viscose rayon fiber is a representative example which is prepared by the indirect solvent system method.
- the viscose rayon fiber is prepared by obtaining a cellulose xanthate derivative, which is soluble in an aqueous solution of NaOH, through reaction of aged cellulose with carbon disulfide, dissolving the cellulose xanthate derivative in an aqueous solution of 10 % by weight of NaOH, and spinning the solution into a spinning bath.
- the natural cellulose has too high crystallinity and strong hydrogen bond to dissolve in a solvent and to regenerate as desired.
- the representative examples of the direct solvent system method are an NMMO (N-methyl morpholine N-oxide) process, a NaOH/H 2 O process, a ZnCl- ⁇ /H2 ⁇ process, a cuprammonium process and the like.
- NMMO N-methyl morpholine N-oxide
- 10 % cellulose solution is obtained by dissolving cellulose in NMMO as solvent and 15.5 % water at temperature of 100 to 105 ° C .
- the hydrogen bonds of cellulose molecular chains in the crystalline portion are broken, and new hydrogen bonds are formed between hydroxyl groups of the cellulose and amine oxide groups of NMMO.
- the NMMO has a simple structure and can be recycled.
- NMMO NMolethyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methyl methoxymethyl methacrylate.
- NMMO is expensive and poor thermal stability.
- the NMMO usually explodes over 150 °C .
- As the NMMO tends to absorb moisture in the air to become a hydrate from an anhydride.
- the degree of hydration of NMMO affects the melting point and solubility of cellulose. In spite of the above drawbacks, this process has been applied to mass production of a regenerated cellulose fiber and substituted for the viscous process.
- the cellulose having lower degree of polymerization is prepared by treating pulp with steam explosion, then the cellulose is dissolved in a solvent of 9 ⁇ 13 % NaOH aqueous solution at 4 ° C over 8 hours to prepare a spinning solution.
- the spinning solution contains 8 — 12 % by weight of cellulose as per water in the solution.

- the cellulose fiber prepared by this process has a strength of 0.85 — 1.5 g/den which is lower than that of the cellulose fibers prepared by other processes.
- a spinning solution of cellulose is prepared by dissolving cellulose of 400 — 600 degree of polymerization in 40 % ZnCl 2 aqueous solution at 60 ° C for 15 — 60 minutes.
- a halogen compound of Mg or Al is used as catalyst.
- the spinning solution contains 5 ⁇ 45 % by weight of cellulose and 62 — 76 % by weight of ZnC .
- the spinning solution is passed in the bath of water and ethanol to prepare regenerated cellulose fiber.
- the cellulose fiber contains 0.4 % by weight of ZnCl 2 therein which will cause not to produce fine cellulose fiber.
- the cuprammonium process use cuam (Cu(NH) 3 (OH)2) as solvent to dissolve cellulose.
- cuam Cu(NH) 3 (OH)2
- the copper is recovered so that the concentration of copper in the bath may be less than 0.1 ppm.
- the physical properties of the cellulose fiber are good, but the cost for manufacture are higher than that of other processes.
- the representative examples of the indirect solvent system method are a viscose process, a carbamat process, a LiCl/DMAc process and the like.
- the viscose process is carried out by preparing a cellulose xanthate derivative through reaction of Na-cellulose with carbon disulfide, and dissolving the cellulose xanthate derivative in NaOH aqueous solution.
- the spinning solution is passed in the bath containing sulfuric acid to produce a regenerated cellulose fiber.
- the carbon disulfide used in this process are seriously harmful to human body.
- a cellulose carbamate derivative is prepared by swelling the cellulose of about 400 degree of polymerization in ammonia aqueous solution and reacting the resulting solution with 10 % urea solution at 155 TJ .
- the cellulose carbamate derivative can be easily hydrodegraded, but the cellulose having various degrees of polymerization cannot be dissolved.
- the cellulose of about 400 degree of polymerization is swelled in LiCl or DMAc aqueous solution to preapre a cellulose derivative.
- the cellulose derivative dissolves in the mixed solvent of LiCl DMAc.
- the conventional processes for preparing a regenerated cellulose fiber have their own drawbacks, and it need to develop new processes or new solvents.
- the present inventors have developed a new process which prepares a regenerated cellulose fiber by preparing a cellulose carbonate derivative, and then spinning the solution thereof.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a process of preparing a regenerated cellulose fiber, which is not harmful to human body.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a process of preparing a regenerated cellulose fiber, which can dissolve a cellulose having a high degree of polymerization.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a process of preparing a regenerated cellulose fiber by preparing a cellulose carbonate derivative using carbon dioxide instead of preparing a cellulose xanthate derivative through reaction of Na-cellulose with carbon disulfide in the viscose process.
- the process of preparing the regenerated cellulose fiber according to the present invention comprises providing Na-cellulose by treating natural cellulose with a NaOH aqueous solution, aging the Na-cellulose by exposing to air, removing an excess of NaOH from the aged cellulose by repeating washing and filtration, preparing a reacted cellulose by reacting the aged cellulose with carbon dioxide in a pretreating solution in a high pressure reactor, preparing a cellulose carbonate derivative from the reacted cellulose by repeating washing and filtration, preparing a spinning solution by dissolving the cellulose carbonate derivative in a mixed solvent of NaOH and ZnO aqueous solution, and wet- spinning the cellulose spinning solution in a bath.
- pretreating solution examples are ZnCl 2 aqueous solution and mixed solution of ZnCl 2 and a lower alcohol.
