Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- “Lyocell” is the generic name given by BISFA (The International Bureau for the Standardization of man made fibers) for cellulose fibers which are produced by dissolving cellulose in an organic solvent without the formation of a derivative and extruding fibers from this solution.
- An organic solvent is understood to mean a mixture of an organic chemical and water.
- Such fibers are also known under the term “solvent-spun fibers”.
- As an organic solvent N-methyl-morpholine-N-oxide is used today on a commercial scale.
- PCT-WO 94/28218 describes a method similar to PCT-WO 93/19230. According to this document, the temperature of the cooling air should be kept below 50 ° C.
- PCT-WO 95/02082 A method is known from PCT-WO 95/02082, according to which the spinning hole diameter, the spinning mass output per hole, the titer of the individual filament, the width of the air gap and the humidity of the air in the air gap are kept in certain ranges by means of a mathematical expression should be.
- the temperature of the cooling air In the examples of PCT-WO 95/02082 there is no information about the temperature of the cooling air. In the Descriptions are generally temperatures between 10 ° C and 60 ° C, preferably between 20 ° C and 40 ° C.
- PCT-WO 96/17118 deals with the moisture content of the cooling air.
- the highest temperature of the cooling air specified in this document is 40 ° C.
- the temperature of the cooling air can be 0 ° C to 40 ° C.
- the temperature of the cooling air is given as -10 ° C to 50 ° C.
- PCT-WO 98/58103 describes that with a large number of extruded filaments, i.e. when using spinnerets with a large number of spinning holes, a very humid climate is established in the air gap. In order to ensure the stability of the spinning process even under these conditions, it is proposed in PCT-WO 98/58103 that the spinning solution should contain a certain proportion of cellulose and / or another polymer with a higher molecular weight immediately before spinning.
- a problem with spinning cellulose solutions in NMMO is that in solutions with a high viscosity the spinning solution has to be spun at elevated temperatures.
- High viscosities of the spinning solution result, for example, when the cellulose concentration in the solution is high, which is of course desirable from an economic point of view.
- the temperature of the spinning solution must also be kept high if fibers with a low titer, e.g. want to spin less than 1 dtex. In the case of such fibers, the filaments in the air gap must be stretched particularly strongly. Without increasing the temperature of the spinning solution, the viscosity of the spinning solution would also be too high for this stretching.
- the temperature of the spinning solution should be 80 ° C to 120 ° C, especially 100 ° C to 120 ° C during spinning. Since solutions of cellulose in NMMO are thermally unstable and tend to exothermic decomposition reactions, it is not desirable to increase the temperature of the cellulose solution.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a method according to the generic term with which cellulose solutions of high viscosity can be better spun and fibers with small titers can be better produced.
- This object is achieved in that the temperature (T) of the cooling air before contact with the filaments is 60 ° C ⁇ T ⁇ 90 ° C.
- fibers which are produced using cooling air at higher temperatures have higher strength values than fibers which are produced at the same temperature of the spinning solution using cooling air at a lower temperature.
- the cooling air preferably has a moisture content of 4 g H 2 O / kg air to 15 g H 2 O / kg air.
- the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for producing fibers with a titer of less than 1 dtex.
- a spinning solution with 15% by weight cellulose (cellulose: Cellunier F, manufacturer Rayonnier), 10% by weight water and 75% by weight NMMO was spun into fibers using cooling air at different temperatures.
- the minimum achievable titer of the fibers was measured in each case: For this purpose, the maximum withdrawal speed (m / min) of the fibers is determined by the Take-off speed is increased until the thread breaks. This speed is noted and used to calculate the titer according to the calculation method described in PCT-WO 98/58103.
- the strength of the spun fibers was determined in a conditioned state.
- the table shows that the minimum achievable titer drops significantly at temperatures of the cooling air of over 60 ° C. Furthermore, the strength of the fibers increases significantly.
- a spinning solution with 14.6% by weight cellulose (cellulose Borregaard LVU); 9.5% by weight of water and 75.9% by weight of> NMMO was spun into fibers with a titer of 1.3 dtex in a continuous test installation. At various temperatures of the cooling air used, the spinning mass temperature was measured in order to be able to produce fibers with this titer without problems.
- the table shows that when using cooling air at a temperature of 65 ° C it is possible to produce the fibers at a significantly lower temperature of the spinning solution.
- a spinning solution with 15% by weight cellulose (pulp Alicell VLV; manufacturer Western Pulp) 10% by weight) water and 75% by weight o NMMO was spun into fibers using cooling air at different temperatures.
- the minimum achievable titer of the fibers and the strength of the spun fibers in a conditioned state were determined as described in Example 1:
- the table shows that when cooling air with higher temperatures is used, it is possible to produce fibers with a titer of less than 1 dtex.
