PROCESS FOR PREPARING AQUEOUS SUSPENSIONS OR SLURRIES FROM CELLULOSE MICROFIBRILS, CELLULOSE MICROFIBRIL AQUEOUS SUSPENSION OR SLURRY AND ITS USE

摘要

A process for preparing aqueous suspensions or slurries of cellulose microfibrils obtained from bacterial fermentation, in which said cellulose microfibrils are freed of the culture medium used for said bacterial fermentation through washing, the microfibrils then being ground and macerated by mechanical means. The product obtained as an aqueous suspension form is drained if desired to form an aqueous slurry.
