MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411088419 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, New Delhi, on Nov. 15, 2024, for 'a method for producing high-strength sustainable cellulose fibers from agriculture residue and textile waste.'
Inventor(s) include Samanta, Archana; and Mathew, Blesson Tom.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a method for producing sustainable, eco-friendly and functional cellulose fibers from agriculture residue and textile waste. The method for producing high-strength, sustainable cellulose fibers comprise: A. Synthesizing an ionic liquid synthesizing an ionic liquid, specifically, 1-Allyl-3-methylimidazolium Chloride (AMIMCl); B. Cleaning, scouring and extracting cellulose from agriculture residues or textile waste; C. Dissolving the extracted cellulose in a synthesized ionic liquid (Spinning cellulose dope); D. Blending anti-microbial agents to the spinning cellulose dope to develop continuous antimicrobial regenerated cellulose fibers (AM-RCF); E. Incorporating thermoregulatory agents to the spinning cellulose dope to develop continuous thermoregulatory regenerated cellulose fibers (PCM-RCF); F. Spinning the functionalized cellulose solution to regenerate functional cellulose fibers; and G. Recovery of ionic liquid solvent."
