<p>Disclosed is a method for producing kraft wood fiber having an alpha-cellulose content greater than 97 % and a viscosity greater than 40 centipoise. The method involves prehydrolyzing hardwood chips with water, kraft cooking, bleaching and caustic treatment. The resulting pulp can be converted to carboxymethyl cellulose superabsorbents having improved properties, particularly a high 'absorbency under load'.</p> |
