Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing an alkali cellulose with suppressed decrease in the degree of polymerization as well as with small use amount of a basic compound, and to a method for producing a cellulose ether by using the alkali cellulose thus obtained. Provided by the present invention are: (A) a method for producing an alkali cellulose, comprising Step 1 wherein a cellulose-containing raw material is pulverized in the presence of 0.6 to 1.5 mol of a basic compound relative to 1 mol of an anhydroglucose unit that constitutes a cellulose in the said cellulose-containing raw material and under the condition in which the water content therein relative to the cellulose in the cellulose-containing raw material is 10% or less by mass thereby obtaining a cellulose powder mixture having the median diameter of the cellulose-containing raw material made 150 μm or less and Step 2 wherein water content therein is adjusted in the range of 30 to 100% by mass relative to the cellulose by adding water to the cellulose powder mixture thereby obtaining the alkali cellulose in the powder form; and (B) a method for producing a cellulose ether by reacting the alkali cellulose produced by the foregoing production method with an etherification agent.
