Abstract
Cellulosic material is immersed for a period not exceeding one hour in a liquid medium which is maintained at a temperature below 30 DEG C. and which contains a polybasic inorganic acid catalyst in an amount equal to 8 to 20 per cent of the weight of the cellulosic material, and just sufficient organic acid anhydride to render and maintain the mixture anhydrous during the treatment. The treated material may then be subjected to acetylation or other esterification treatment. The catalyst may be sulphuric, phosphoric, or a mixture of these acids. The anhydrous medium may contain acetic, propionic, or butyric acid. The proportion of anhydride is just sufficient to react with any water present in the materials and formed by reaction between the sulphuric or other inorganic acid and the cellulose, the assumption being made that one molecule of water is liberated by each molecule of sulphuric acid by esterification of the cellulose. On completion of the pretreatment, more acetic or other organic anhydride is added, and organic esterification is carried out preferably at low temperature. The pretreatment specified may be preceded by other pretreatment processes. In an example, cotton is pretreated with acetic acid containing a very small amount of sulphuric acid, then pretreated with a mixture of acetic acid, sulphuric acid, and sufficient acetic anhydride to remove water present and formed by reaction between sulphuric acid and cotton. The mixture is cooled and a cooled solution of acetic anhydride in acetic acid is added. When all the cotton has dissolved, water is added and ripening is carried out till the product reaches acetone-solubility.
