Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method and an equipment for preparing NaCMC, in which (a) cellulose is slushed in the reaction medium until a consistency of c. 5-15%, preferably 5-10%, (b) the fibre suspension obtained in step (a) is thickened to a consistency of c. 20-35% and (c) the pulp containing reaction medium obtained in the second step is homogenized by means of a screw conveyor having a screw pitch which decreases from an inlet opening thereof towards an outlet opening thereof, in order to increase the reactivity, whereby a mercerization activating the cellulose is carried out after step (b) and/or (c), and the cellulose thus pretreated is etherified in a manner known per se.
