Method for forming a fire resistant cellulose product

摘要

A method is provided for forming a fire resistant cellulose material. Such a method comprises processing cellulose fibers into a fiber mixture, and then forming a wetted mixture from the fiber mixture and a fire-retarding solution, wherein the wetted mixture has a solids content of the fire-retarding solution substantially uniformly and thoroughly dispersed therethrough. In some aspects, a cohesive mixture may be formed from the wetted mixture and a binding agent, and the cohesive mixture then formed into a formed cellulose product. An associated apparatus is also provided.

1. A method of forming a fire resistant cellulose material, said method comprising:
processing cellulose fibers into a deconstructed fiber mixture; forming a wetted mixture from the deconstructed fiber mixture and a fire-retarding solution, the wetted mixture having a solids content of the fire-retarding solution substantially uniformly and thoroughly dispersed therethrough; de-liquefying the wetted mixture to form a dry fire-retarding deconstructed fiber mixture having a moisture content of between 0% and about 3%; applying a binding agent to the dry fire-retarding deconstructed fiber mixture; and applying compression to the dry fire-retarding deconstructed fiber mixture having the binding agent applied thereto such that the binding agent binds together the fibers within the dry-fire-retarding deconstructed fiber mixture to form a solid formed cellulose product.
