Abstract

A two-step procedure for utilization of cellulose nitrate waste accumulated at industrial enterprises of the Russian Federation was suggested and experimentally checked. The procedure involves hydrolysis of cellulose nitrate in alkaline medium and incineration of hydrolysis products. The best reagents for complete hydrolysis of cellulose nitrate are aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. As demonstrated by thermal analysis and thermodynamic calculations, incineration of cellulose nitrate base hydrolysis products can be performed without using hydrocarbon fuel.
