Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of a porous hollow filament composed mainly of an organic polymer, which comprises separately feeding a powder of the organic polymer and a liquid additive to a feed zone of twin-screw extruder, mixing the polymer with the additive in a kneading zone of the extruder to form a substantially liquid mixture, further kneading and compressing the liquid in a kneading and compressing zone of the extruder, feeding the liquid to an extruding zone of the extruder, and extruding the liquid from the extruding zone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A process for the preparation of a porous hollow filament composed mainly of cellulose acetate, which comprises separately feeding a cellulose acetate powder and a liquid additive to a feed zone of a twin-screw extruder means, kneading and heating the cellulose acetate with the additive in a kneading and heating zone of the extruder means to form a plasticized melt, further kneading and compressing the plasticized melt in a kneading and compressing zone of the extruder means, feeding the plasticized melt to an extruding zone of the extruder means, and extruding the plasticized melt from the extruding zone in the form of a hollow filament and with removal of said liquid additive to thereby obtain said porous hollow filament.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A process for the preparation of a porous hollow filament composed mainly of cellulose acetate, which comprises separately feeding a cellulose acetate powder and a liquid additive to a feed zone of a twin-screw extruder means, kneading and heating the cellulose acetate with the additive in a kneading and heating zone of the extruder means to form a plasticized melt, further kneading and compressing the plasticized melt in a kneading and compressing zone of the extruder means, feeding the plasticized melt to an extruding zone of the extruder means, and extruding the plasticized melt from the extruding zone in the form of a hollow filament and with removal of said liquid additive to thereby obtain said porous hollow filament.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
A process for the preparation of a porous hollow filament according to claim 1, wherein the plasticized melt formed in the kneading zone of the extruder means is deaerated under a reduced pressure in a vent zone of the extruder means and is then fed to the kneading and compressing zone of the extruder means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
A process for the preparation of a porous hollow filament according to claim 1, wherein the average residence time of the cellulose acetate in the extruder means is longer than 1 minute and within a range such that thermal deterioration of the cellulose acetate does not occur.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A process for the preparation of a porous hollow filament according to claim 1, wherein the screws of the twin-screw extruder means are rotated in the same direction.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A process for the preparation of a porous hollow filament according to claim 1, wherein the amount of the additive is at least 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the cellulose acetate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process for the preparation of a porous hollow filament according to claim 1, wherein the cellulose acetate is cellulose diacetate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A process for the preparation of a porous hollow filament according to claim 1, wherein the cellulose acetate powder and the liquid additive are kneaded and heated at 180° to 240° C. in the kneading and heating zone.
