Abstract

See full text

The invention is a method for efficiently preparing alkali cellulose having a uniform alkali distribution therein. More specifically, pulp and an excess alkali metal hydroxide solution are introduced continuously in a screw conveyor type contactor and brought into contact with each other in the screw conveyor type reactor. By changing at least one factor selected from the group consisting of a rotation speed of the screw conveyor, a screw pitch and a length of immersion zone, a ratio of an alkali to cellulose in the alkali cellulose obtained by draining is controlled. The alkali cellulose thus obtained is etherified into the corresponding cellulose ether.
