Abstract
In a process for the preparation of formed bodies of regenerated cellulose from solutions of methylol derivatives of cellulose in an organic solvent, (eg dimethyl formamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulphoxide and N-methylpyrrolidone) the cellulose derivative is coagulated and partially or totally regenerated, from its solution in the solvent, in a coagulating bath which comprises a tertiary amine and a component having free alcoholic groups in its molecule, e.g. a polyethylene glycol or methanol. The presence of the tertiary amines permits to increase the speed of cellulose regeneration from the methylol derivative.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Process for the preparation of formed bodies of regenerated cellulose from solutions of cellulose derivatives in organic solvents
In British Application No. 80 1 2765 of the same Applicant a process has been described and claimed for the preparation of formed bodies of regenerated cellulose from solutions of methylol derivatives of cellulose in an organic solvent chosen among dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAC), dimethylsulphoxide and N-methylpyrrolidone, characterized in that the cellulose derivative is coagulated, from said solutions, in a coagulating bath comprising as main component a high boiling alcohol which is capable of combining with free (para)formaldehyde and with combined (para)formaldehyde contained in the methylol derivative, to a degree which varies depending on the temperature.
As preferred high boiling alcohols, polyethylene glycols have been indicated.
It has now been found, and this is the object of the present invention, that if tertiary amines, i.e. amines which do not contain reactive hydrogen atoms, are present in the coagulating bath, the speed of the regeneration of the cellulose from the methylol derivative is considerably increased, which is extremely advantageous from a process viewpoint. Further, it is clearly advantageous from a general technical viewpoint to be table to control the regeneration speed of the cellulose and this is made possible from its methylol derivative, by the use of tertiary amines together with coagulating and regenerating agents.
The invention is therefore characterized in that, in a process of the aforementioned type, a coagulating bath is employed which contains as active component, or as an element of a mixture of active components, a tertiary amine, in the additional presence of free alcoholic groups. Said alcoholic groups may derive from another component of the bath, such as one of the alcohols indicated in the previously cited application or an alcohol which is not high boiling, such as e.g. methanol, which is indicated as component of regenerating and coagulating baths in said copending Application or said alcoholic groups may be included together with the amino groups of the tertiary amine, in a single molecule.
A typical tertiary amine not containing alcoholic groups is triethylamine, while a typical tertiary amine containing alcholic group is triethanolamine.
The percentages of amine contained in the bath in which it is mixed with alcohols, depends from the desired regeneration speed and may vary within very wide limits, e.g., from 1 to 50%.
On the other hand, if a tertiary amine is employed which already contains alcoholic groups, such as triethanolamine, the bath may contain from 1 to 99 of amine.
Of course, the coagulating baths always contain a more or less high percentage of the spinning solvent, which may be one those previously indicated in said copending Application although dimethylacetamide is preferred in principle, and they may contain amounts of water between 0 and 50%.
If the alcoholic groups are carried by a high boiling alcohol, the advantage is obtained that the formaldehyde may be recovered more easily from the coagulating baths, merely by the thermal decomposition of the hemiacetal which forms from formaldehyde and alcoholic groups.
The coagulating temperatures vary according to the components emplyed. If e.g. a trimaine is employed in combination with a high boiling alcohol, the temperatures vary from about 65'C to the boiling temperature of the amine.
If a triamine is employed in combination with a low boiling alcohol, such as e.g. methanol, the temperatures vary from O"C to 50"C.
If a trimaine is employed which contains free alcoholic groups, such as triethanolamine, the temperatures vary from 65"C to 160"C.
A number of embodiments of the invention will now be described for illustrative purposes, without intending any limitation of the invention.
EXAMPLES 1-12
40.5 parts of prehydrolized cellulose obtained by the sulphite process (DP=500), dried to a water content below 0.6%, and 90 part of (para)formaldehyde containing 95% of CH2O, are charged into a closed laboratory reactor with 370 parts of DMAC containing less than 0.07% of water, and are brought to about 140"C, under efficient stirring, for 30-60 minutes. A clear solution is obtained, from which part of the formaldehyde and of the DMAC are eliminated by heating to 115-1 20 C while maintaining the reactor open.
Viscous solutions are obtained with cellulose contents varying from 9 to 1 1% and CH2O contents varying from 4 to 8%, depending on the time during which formaldehyde and DMAC have been eliminated, which time may vary from 30 to 90 minutes.
Said viscous solutions are cooled and filtered, and are extruded through gold-platinum spinnerets having 1 20 orifices with a diameter of 80 micron, into baths having variable compositions and temperatures. The filaments obtained are drawn in air at room temperature, and are washed in H20 at different temperatures, until the CK2O and DMAC are totally eliminated.
Hereinafter the compositions of a number of spinning, drawing and post-treatment (regeneration and/or washing) baths are indicated.

The yarns obtained according to examples 1-12 have round cross-sections and good mechanical characteristics.
Typicai numerical characteristics of the products obtained are:
Count 1.5-3 deniers
Tenacity in che conditioned state . up to 2 g/den
Elongation in the conditioned state 20-30%
Tenacity in the wet state up to 1 g/den
Elongation in the wet state 30-50%
Loop tenacity up to 0.7 g/den
EXAMPLES 13-17
A viscous solution of cellulose having a concentration of about 10% in DMAC, prepared substantially as described in the preceding examples, has been smeared to form a thin layer on glass plates, and the plates have been subsequently immersed at room temperature into coagulating baths containing various ratios of methanol to triethanolamine content, until the coagulated films become completely detached from the glass plates. It has been possible to detach ail films after 10-30 seconds of immersion.
Said films have been then washed twice with cooled methanol and the molar ratio CH2O/cellulose has been determined thereon by titrating the total CH2O with sodium sulphite and weighing said films after treatment with sulphite and drying.
Said molar ratio may be taken as an inverse index of the cellulose regeneration speed.
The results are tabulated hereinafter.
