(Filed but not issued under the act or Match 3, 1883, as amended April so, 1928; 370 0. G. 157) The invention described herein may-be manuiactured and used by us for the Government for governmental purposes, without the payment .to us of anyroyalty thereon. i
This inventionrelates cellulose fibers. In the preparation of nitrocellulose explosives,
the cellulose is nitrated in a bath of. nitric and sulphuric acid. When removed from the bath,
the tubular fibers carrying both adherent or me.- chanically-held acid and adsorbedacid as well as other impurities must'be subjected to a purification treatment to remove, these unstable lower nitro bodies.
The principal object of this invention is the reduction-of the. fibers to a physical condition which will'be favorable for the action of the purifying or neutralizing agents. This object is lar structure would be compressed or collapsed by the pressure fluid medium and, since the tube is not filled with the fluid, there can be no balancing of interior andexterior pressures pre-' liminary to the reduction of external pressure. It is, therefore, proposed to preparethe tubular fibers against collapse by filling them with a relatively incompressible fluid. ,This condition of the fibers may be produced by allowing them to become saturated with a liquid, conveniently trapped airirom the fibers by the application of a vacuum.
The fibers thus prepared are placed in a high pressure chamber and a fluid of high temperature such as steam is admitted to the chamber under a pressure of 500 to 1000 pounds per square inch and for varying from five seconds to a process of treating to one minute, depending upon the degree of physical disruption it is desired to secure. Upon suddenly relieving the pressure 'as by discharging the fibers through an opening in' the chamher, the fiuid in the fibers which has been heated bythe pressure medium is rapidly converted into steam causing disruption of the fibers.
Weclaim: 7, l 1. The step in the preparation of smokeless powder which consists in'filling each fiber of a mass of collapsible cellulose fibers with a re1a-' tively incompressible medium, subjecting them to a high temperature pressure fluid and suddenly releasing the pressure.
