Process for the manufacturing of shaped cellulose material from lignocellulose by a sequence of separation, dissolving and cellulose shaping steps, characterized in that the process comprises the steps of: a) Providing a feed of comminuted lignocellulosic material comprising cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin; b) Separating lignin from lignocellulosic feed material by cooking the material at a temperature between 110 and 200 C° during a time period of 1 hour to 6 hours in an aqueous solution comprising soluble alkali, alkali earth metal or phosphorous compounds thereby forming a first stream of solid material enriched in cellulose and a second stream rich in dissolved lignin; c) Treating said first stream of cellulose from step b) by at least one of oxygen delignification, bleaching and alkali extraction to form a cellulose pulp with a lignin content below 2 %; d) Treating spent liquor streams comprising dissolved lignin, alkali, alkali earth, phosphorous or sulfur compounds in a chemicals recovery system comprising a spent liquor concentration unit, optionally a causticising unit, and a gas generator or recovery boiler unit wherein fresh alkali, alkali earth metal, phosphorous or sulfur compounds are recovered and reformed; e) Dissolving cellulose having a lignin content below 2 % by weight in a solution comprising alkali, alkali earth metal, phosphorous or sulfur compounds or dissolving cellulose in a molten salt, said solution optionally comprising one or more additives, thereby forming a substantially homogeneous solution comprising dissolved cellulose and thereafter shaping dissolved cellulose into fibers, films or cellulose derivatives in one or more cellulose shaping steps; f) Directly or indirectly recycling spent cellulose dissolving or cellulose shaping chemicals comprising one or more of alkali, alkali earth metal, phosphorous and sulfur compounds to one or more of the chemical recovery units of step d) said spent chemicals discharged from at least one of: f1) a cellulose dissolving step f2) a cellulose shaping or cellulose coagulation step f3) a shaped cellulose washing step g) Charging fresh cellulose dissolving or cellulose shaping chemicals comprising alkali, alkali earth metal, phosphorous or sulfur compounds reclaimed directly or indirectly from a chemicals recovery unit in step d) to a cellulose dissolving or cellulose shaping step in e). a) Providing a feed of comminuted lignocellulosic material comprising cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin; b) Separating lignin from lignocellulosic feed material by cooking the material at a temperature between 110 and 200 C° during a time period of 1 hour to 6 hours in an aqueous solution comprising soluble alkali, alkali earth metal or phosphorous compounds thereby forming a first stream of solid material enriched in cellulose and a second stream rich in dissolved lignin; c) Treating said first stream of cellulose from step b) by at least one of oxygen delignification, bleaching and alkali extraction to form a cellulose pulp with a lignin content below 2 %; d) Treating spent liquor streams comprising dissolved lignin, alkali, alkali earth, phosphorous or sulfur compounds in a chemicals recovery system comprising a spent liquor concentration unit, optionally a causticising unit, and a gas generator or recovery boiler unit wherein fresh alkali, alkali earth metal, phosphorous or sulfur compounds are recovered and reformed; e) Dissolving cellulose having a lignin content below 2 % by weight in a solution comprising alkali, alkali earth metal, phosphorous or sulfur compounds or dissolving cellulose in a molten salt, said solution optionally comprising one or more additives, thereby forming a substantially homogeneous solution comprising dissolved cellulose and thereafter shaping dissolved cellulose into fibers, films or cellulose derivatives in one or more cellulose shaping steps; f) Directly or indirectly recycling spent cellulose dissolving or cellulose shaping chemicals comprising one or more of alkali, alkali earth metal, phosphorous and sulfur compounds to one or more of the chemical recovery units of step d) said spent chemicals discharged from at least one of: f1) a cellulose dissolving step f2) a cellulose shaping or cellulose coagulation step f3) a shaped cellulose washing step f1) a cellulose dissolving step f2) a cellulose shaping or cellulose coagulation step f3) a shaped cellulose washing step g) Charging fresh cellulose dissolving or cellulose shaping chemicals comprising alkali, alkali earth metal, phosphorous or sulfur compounds reclaimed directly or indirectly from a chemicals recovery unit in step d) to a cellulose dissolving or cellulose shaping step in e).
