Fiber is dried at multiple stage with drying temperature set at 50-100°C. Finally, the fiber is collected on a robbin.
- the reaction product was filtered through a sieve to obtain polyester fiber, and the remaining mixture is vacuum filtered through a filtration membrane to obtain cotton fiber fragments, which are then separately washed and dried in a forced air oven to a constant weight to obtain a polyester.
- the recovery of the fiber aggregate was 98%, and the recovery rate of the cellulose material was 83%.
- the reaction product is filtered through a sieve to obtain polyester fiber, and the remaining mixture is vacuum filtered through a filtration membrane to obtain cotton fiber fragments, which are respectively washed and dried in a forced air oven to a constant weight to obtain a polyester fiber.
- the recovery of the aggregate was 99%, and the recovery of cellulose material was 81%.
- Recycled cellulose micropowder was obtained from the hydrothermal process. 50g of hydrothermal cellulose micropowder is dispersed into 1 L of 65 v/v%sulfuric acid (at a solid content of 5 w/v%) . The suspension was kept at 40°C under vigorous stirring for 60 minutes. The reaction was then quenched with water. The quenched reaction mixture was then washed with additional portions of water and then centrifuged. This process was repeated 3 times or until the pH of the solution was 7.
- Recycled cellulose powder was obtained from the hydrothermal process.
- 50g of hydrothermal cellulose micropowder is dispersed into 1 L of water (at a solid content of 5 w/v%) to form a slurry.
- the grinding condition was controlled by setting the grinder disc gap at -80 ⁇ m. (A zero setting indicates the two discs are barely touching each other, whereas positive values indicate the gap distance in between the two discs, and a negative setting indicates the discs are tightly pressing onto each other) .
- the cellulose slurry was loaded into the disc grinder for 40 cycles of grinding.
- the thus prepared cellulose nanoparticles are generally rod shaped and have an average length of about 120 nm and average diameter of about 20 nm, which form aggregates in water having a volume equivalent diameter (dv) of about 1 ⁇ m.
- 1000g of solvent was first prepared at room temperature by mixing NaOH, urea, ZnO, H 2 O at a mass ratio of 6: 11: 0.1: 82.9 until all solids were dissolved.
- the solvent was cooled to -18°C before gradual addition of cellulose material.
- 5 g of hydrothermal cellulose micropowder ( ⁇ 100-200 ⁇ m average diameter, DP ⁇ 120) and 45 g of recycled cellulose fiber (DP ⁇ 480) are added into 950g of the pre-cooled solvent to form a total of 5 w/w%cellulose solution.
- the mixture was stirred at 40 RPM for 1 h before increasing temperature to 0°C and was kept under this condition for 8 hours without stirring.
- the dope was then thawed from 0°C to 20°C with constant stirring (40 RPM) for 1 hour until complete dissolution of the cellulose material (confirmed by the observation of a complete transparent dope under microscope) .
- the dope was then ready to be combined with cellulose nanoparticle suspension and optionally FIR emissive nanoparticle suspension to form regenerated cellulose composite fiber (Example 6) or functional regenerated cellulose composite fiber (Example 7) .
- Filtration of the final dope was then performed using metal mesh with pore size of 500, 300, 100, 50 and 20 and 5 ⁇ m. Degassing of the dope was performed under vacuum at 20°C, 30 mbar for 3 hours. After the dope was degassed it was ready to be extruded directly to form regenerated cellulose fiber or regenerated cellulose composite fiber (Example 6) or functional regenerated cellulose composite fiber (Example 7) .
- Dope temperature was kept at 20°C during extrusion.
- Citric acid (15 w/v %) at 20°C was employed as the coagulation bath.
- Water at 50°C was used as the washing bath.
- Draw ratio which is the linear speed of the winder relative to the extrusion linear speed was kept at 2.0.
- Preparation steps for the cellulose solution (continuous phase) was done as in Example 5. Concentration and pH of cellulose nanoparticles obtained from Example 3 and is further adjusted to 5 w/w %and 12, respectively using 14.5 M NaOH, followed by dispersion using a high-speed homogenizer. 10 g of the 5 w/w %cellulose nanoparticles suspension was added into the 1 kg of 5 w/w%cellulose solution prepared in Example 5 in order to keep the absolute mass of cellulose nanoparticles (disperse phase) to cellulose (continuous phase) at 1: 100. The cellulose solution and the cellulose nanoparticle suspension were thoroughly mixed in the planetary kneader for 1 hour. Finally, filtration, degassing, and fiber extrusion were there performed as in Example 5.
- Example 7 (Functional regenerated cellulose composite fiber)
- Preparation steps for the cellulose solution was done as in Example 5. Concentration and pH of cellulose nanoparticles obtained from Example 3 and is further adjusted to 5 w/w %and 12 respectively using 14.5M NaOH, followed by dispersion using a high-speed homogenizer. To prepare the FIR suspension, 1 g of FIR nanopowder is added into 20 g of water and pH adjusted to 12 before dispersing by a high-speed homogenizer.
- FIR emissivity of the obtained fiber was were evaluated according to GB/T 30127-2013.
- UV blocking properties according to AATCC 183-2014, the obtained fiber was spun into yarn, then knitted to fabric.
