Definitions
- Fibers produced from recycled cellulosic waste material are Fibers produced from recycled cellulosic waste material
- the present disclosure describes the manufacturing of regenerated cellulosic fibers from recycled cellulose material such as waste paper, recycled cotton and viscose textile material.
- the manufacturing process involves pre-treatment of the cellulose feedstock in order to purify the cellulose material prior to dissolving the substantially pure cellulose in sodium hydroxide thereby forming a spin dope.
- the textile fiber manufacturing process further comprises regenerating new cellulose fibers in an alkaline coagulation bath followed by washing, stretching, and drying of the produced fibers. Sodium hydroxide solvent is recovered and recycled to the dissolving step for dissolving substantially pure cellulose.
- Regenerated cellulosic fibers herein are defined as cellulosic fibers comprising more than 85 % by weight of cellulose.
- Cellulose is derived from D-glucose units, which condense through (l->4)-glycosidic bonds. This linkage motif contrasts with that for a (I- >4)-glycosidic bonds present in starch, glycogen, and other carbohydrates.
- Cellulose is a straight chain polymer: unlike starch, no coiling or branching occurs, and the molecule adopts an extended and rather stiff rod-like conformation, aided by the equatorial conformation of the glucose residues.
- the multiple hydroxyl groups on the glucose from one chain form hydrogen bonds with oxygen atoms on the same or on a neighbor chain.
- Celluloses are well known and are described, for example, in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, 2nd edition, 1987.
- Celluloses are natural carbohydrate high polymers (polysaccharides) consisting of anhydroglucose units joined by an oxygen linkage to form long molecular chains that are essentially linear.
- Cellulose can be hydrolyzed to form glucose.
- the degree of polymerization (DP) ranges from 1000 for wood pulp to 3500 for cotton fiber, giving a molecular weight of from 160,000 to 560,000.
- Cellulose can be extracted from several types of vegetable tissues (wood, grass, and cotton).
- cellulose has chain length or degree of polymerization (DP), the number of glucose units that make up one polymer molecule.
- DP degree of polymerization
- Cellulose from wood pulp has typical chain lengths between 300 and 1700 units; cotton and other plant fibers as well as bacterial cellulose have chain lengths ranging from 800 to 10,000 units.
- Plant-derived cellulose is usually found in a mixture with hemicellulose, lignin, pectin and other substances, while bacterial cellulose is quite pure, has a much higher water content and higher tensile strength due to higher chain lengths.
- Cellulose is a natural compound with use in paper and textile products.
- Cotton is a cellulosic material used primarily in textile applications.
- waste paper and waste textile material is generated, and it is desirable to establish methods and processes for conversion of waste cellulose into new consumer products such as textile fibers.
- the disclosure is directed to an efficient and environmentally superior process for manufacturing of textile fibers from cellulosic waste and residue streams.
- Cellulosic waste material may comprise mechanical pulp, recycled paper, waste paper, recycled cellulosic textiles including cotton and viscose fibers, recycled carton board, and mixtures of such wastes.

- the present invention is directed to a process for the production of regenerated cellulosic fibers from a cellulosic spin dope, said process comprising the steps of:
- step d) may be performed in alkaline conditions or acidic conditions, or in fact in both, that is where at least one step is performed in an alkaline condition and at least one step is performed in an acidic condition.
- the cellulosic waste material is described as feed cellulose material (or just‘feedstock’).
- feed cellulose material used for manufacturing of new high-quality fibers needs to be pre-treated prior to being dissolved in a suitable cellulose solvent.

- the pre-treatment yields substantially pure alfa cellulose, preferably cellulose having an alfa cellulose content exceeding 85 % by weight of dry cellulose.
- the pre-treatment more preferably yields alfa cellulose content over 90 % by weight of dry cellulose. Pre-treatment procedures are further described below.
- the molecular weight of cellulose may be reduced to the desirable range by at least one of: chlorine dioxide, oxidation with oxygen and/or strong oxidants such as ozone or hydrogen peroxide under alkaline or acidic conditions, enzymatic treatment, hydrolysis (acid or alkaline catalyzed), physical/mechanical degradation (e.g., via the thermomechanical energy input of the processing equipment) such as for example steam explosion treatment, or combinations thereof.

Description of the figure and related material
- cellulosic feedstock (1 ) is charged to one or more pre-treatment steps (2) in order to produce substantially pure dissolving grade cellulose.
- the substantially pure dissolving grade cellulose is then charged into cellulose dissolving step (3).
- a sodium hydroxide solution (9), recycled from the chemicals recycling plant (13), is also charged into the cellulose dissolving step (3).
- Make up sodium hydroxide (and optional other additives such as ZnO) (7) is charged to cellulose dissolving step (3) as needed to balance any losses of sodium compounds in the overall process.
- Cellulose spin dope discharged from the cellulose dissolving step (3) is charged trough filtration and deaeration units (not shown) into the spinning/fiber regeneration plant (4) comprising spinnerets for injection of spin dope into an alkaline coagulation bath.
- Regenerated cellulosic fibers are washed/stretched/dried/cut in several process steps represented by units in block (5) in Figure 1.
- Fresh wash liquid (water) is charged to washing steps in (5) through line (12) and spent chemicals from spinning plant (4 and 5) is discharged through line (1 1 ) and charged to the chemicals recycling plant (13).
- Any salts used to support coagulation and fiber formation in (4) is recovered from the spent spinning liquid and charged to unit (4) through line (10).
- Wash liquids and sludges (8) are discharged from cellulose feed pre-treatment steps (2) optionally combined with bleed off streams (14) from the chemicals recycling plant (14).
- Such streams (8 and/or 14) can advantageously, after concentration, be charged to a chemicals recovery boiler in a kraft or sulphite pulp mill. Alternatively, after removal of metals such as Zn, they can, alone or combined, be charged to a sewer or bio sludge treatment plant.
- viscose filaments from a filament bobbin and a recycled white garment made from 95% viscose and 5% elastan.
- the viscose filament had an intrinsic viscosity of 162 ml/g. The filament was cut in shorter pieces, approximately 5 mm, and was swollen in water before the dissolution, while the garment was cut in small squares approximately 10 * 10 mm.
- Kr (clogging) value (measured according to viscose standard method) for the filament was 1607, while for the garment the value became 1570.
- Cellulose content in the filament dope was measured to 6.1 %, while for the garment the cellulose concentration was 5.53%.
- the high Kr values was caused by un-dissolved fibres.
- the filament dope small filaments were visible, probably due to un-optimized dissolving process.
- the garment dope clearly visible fibres in other colours were seen (cotton and/or polyester fibres)
- the undissolved material was separated by fine filtering and a good spindope for the manufacturing of cold alkali textile fibre was obtained.
- the adapted pulp dope contained 5.97% cellulose while the viscose garment dope contained 5.78%. Clogging value, K r for the adapted pulp was 1236, while for the garment the Kr-value was 1570. Both dopes were filtered before spinning, the adapted pulp with a 30 pm filter while the viscose garment was initially filtered with a 100 pm filter, then 30 miti. The reason for a double filtration of the viscose was that it contained both small amount of elastan synthetic fibres, but also other fibres collected during wearing. This could also cause the high Kr-value.
