Techniques | Temperature [°C] | Pressure (bar) | Heat transfer medium | Residence Time | Additional information | Literature: |
Mercerisation with tension | 5-100 | 40-50s | concentrated caustic soda (270-300 g NaOH/l) | BAT 2003 | ||
Caustification | 20-30 | with applying tension | caustic soda of lower concentration (145-190 g/l) |
