Process for producing regenerated cellulosic fibers

摘要

Regenerated cellulosic fibers of improved resistance to alkaline treatment are produced by nitrosating and dissolving from 5 to 14% by weight of a cellulosic material in a dialkylacylamide solvent while said solution is maintained at a temperature no greater than 20 DEG C to form a cellulose nitrite ester, and regenerating the cellulose by contacting the cellulose ester with a regenerant. Regeneration of the cellulose occurs before significant oxidation of the cellulose takes place.
