Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a process for solubilising cellulose and coagulating the resulting solution to form a cellulose-containing material. The process comprises contacting a cellulose source with a solvent comprising zinc ions and formic acid to provide a solution, coagulating the solution to provide a solid material, and isolating the solid material after treatment, to provide the cellulose-containing material. The process further involves a method of stabilising the solid material, such as treating the solid material with a reducing agent, treating the solid material in water at an elevated temperature, treating the solid material with an organic solvent, pre-treating the cellulose-containing solution with a freeze-thaw cycle and/or isolating a cellulose formate intermediate. The process can further comprise solubilising protein and coagulating the resulting solution to form a cellulose/protein-containing material.
