Abstract

An alkali-soluble cellulose derivative is produced by treating cellulose with liquid ammonia having urea dissolved therein, removing the ammonia, resulting in cellulose having urea distributed therethrough, and heating the thus obtained cellulose-urea to cause reaction between the urea and cellulose and form alkali-soluble cellulose carbamate. This cellulose carbamate can be precipitated from alkaline solution in the form of cellulose carbamate film or fiber.
