Abstract
The effect of an increase in the temperature of mercerization of cellulose on the average degree of polymerization of alkaline cellulose, viscosity, and filterability of viscose was investigated. In comparison to mercerization at 20°C, high-temperature mercerization accelerates decomposition of the cellulose and removes low-molecular-weight fractions from it and reduces the duration of production of alkaline cellulose with acceptable technological properties to 10 min.
