Industrial Processes

摘要

In this chapter, industrial processes for producing Cellulose Acetate for cigarette filters and textile applications are explained in detail. Due to the limited space in this book, other industrial processes, such as plastic applications or photographic film, are not mentioned. In the past, there were two basic processes for manufacturing CA: The "Methylene Chloride Process" and "Acetic Acid Process". Since today only the "Acetic Acid Process" is of industrial relevance, the following chapter is related exclusively to it.
