A METHOD OF TREATING CELLULOSE PULP

Disclosed is a method of treating cellulose pulp for use in regeneration of cellulose including the steps of: i) preparing an alkaline metal hydroxide solution having a concentration of 4-10% by weight; ii) adding cellulose pulp to form a slurry; iii) heating the slurry to a temperature of 40-100°C; and iv) dissolving the treated cellulose pulp in an alkaline solution having a temperature within the range of -10°C to 12°C; wherein the percentage by weight is based on the total weight of the slurry.
