Title: Treatment of Viscose for the Preparation of Useful Products therefrom.
Inventor: CROSS CHARLES FREDERICK
Filed: 1901-02-19
Granted: 1902-01-09
Abstract: 3592. Cross, C. F., Bevan, E. J., and Beadle, C. Feb. 19. Sizes and similar finishes.-Relates to the manufacture of purified viscose and consists in acting upon the crude viscose prepared as described in Specification No. 8700, A.D. 1892, [Abridgment Class Acids and salts, Organic &c.], with an excess of acetic acid, or other weak acid such as lactic acid, formic acid, or salicylic acid. The alkali cellulose xanthate or viscose is not decomposed by the weak acid, whereas the bye-products present, such as alkaline carbonate and sulpho-carbonates, are broken up and their acids are given off in the form of gas. By adding also to the acidified viscose a neutral dehydrating-agent, such as brine or alcohol, the purified alkali cellulose xanthate is precipitated in a non-viscous hydrated form. The precipitate is separated by pressing or centrifugal action, and it may be further purified by washing it with diluted brine or alcohol and pressing. It is re-dissolved by water and obtained as a colourless and inodorons solution. This solution, or the crude solution acidified by a weak acid, may be used for sizing and coating paper of high grades.
