PROCESSES OF MAKING CELLULOSE ESTER FIBERS FROM PRE-CONSUMER TEXTILE WASTE
A dissolving pulp comprising a pre-consumer textile waste is used to produce cellulose esters and corresponding fibers. The process utilizes the cellulose content of wastes generated during textile manufacturing, including cotton linters, undercard, fabric clippings, cattle feed waste, comber knolls, pneumafil waste, shoddy waste, yarn waste, production waste, cutter clippings, twisting waste, or mixtures thereof.
A cellulose ester and/or cellulose ester fiber is produced from at least two different raw materials that each have recycled content from one or more from a waste materials. The resulting cellulose ester and/or cellulose ester fiber has higher recycled content than if only one of the raw materials used to make it had recycled content.
A vapor-generating article comprises a plurality of segments assembled in the form of a rod. The segments include a vapor-forming segment and a vapor-cooling segment located downstream of the vapor-forming segment within the rod. The vapor-cooling segment comprises a crimped cellulose ester (CE) film. The crimped CE film may comprise cellulose acetate propionate, perforations, or both.

A dichloromethane-free wet spinning process for producing cellulose triacetate fiber with a silk factor greater than 8.0. A dichloromethane-free cellulose triacetate dope comprising dimethylacetamide is wet spun into a coagulation bath which is controlled to a temperature ranging from 20°C to 40°C and comprising dimethylacetamide and water. A jet draw stretching ratio ranging from 0.3 to 1.4 is applied to the wet spun CTA fibers which may also be subjected to one or more post jet draw stretching steps.
