Detailed Project Report on manufacture of cellulose acetate

                                                                  MANUFACTURE OF CELLULOSE ACETATE


     The  first reported orgaic ester of cellulose was  cellulose acetate, prepared by schutzenberger (1865)  by heating cotton and acetic anhydride to about 180oC in a sealed tube until the cotton dissolved.  Franchiomont (1879) accomplished this reaction  at  a lower  temperature  with  the aid of H2S04  as  a  catalyst.  The product  in  both the cases was very nearly the  triester.  Miles (1903)  first  described partially hydrolyzed  (generally  called secondary)  cellulose acetate and distinguished it from  the  tri acetate by its solubility in acetone. The solubility of secondary acetate  in  a low cost and relatively non-toxi solvent  such  as acetone    contributed   greatly   to   the    development    and commercilisation of the material.


     Acetate rayon in the early 1920's ensured cellulose  acetate at an economic price and in regular bulk supply and in 1924,  the name  rayon was established throughout the world as  the  generic term  of artificial silk. The establishment of the Rayon  industry made  the cellulose plastic an economic possibility. The  British Cellulose  and Chemical Manufacturing Co., established in  spondon became the British Celanese Co., and the name of celanese  became world  fames,  before  the 1930's were out, this  was  joined  by others which today are equally world famous such as East man  and Kodak,  Hercules  and courtaulds. In 1936, the  world  output  of Rayon passed te 1000 million lb mark.
