In the course of this study, the technology of bleaching of cotton pulp for various purposes has been improved, which can be used in the production of cotton pulp by "Khlopoprom-Cellulose" LLP and other enterprises to increase the production efficiency and competitiveness of the products obtained. The proposed development makes it possible to obtain cellulose with a high degree of polymerization and whiteness, as well as to solve the problem of stabilization and high decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide in the technological cycle. The bleached cellulose meets the requirements of GOST (State Standard) 595-79 "Cotton cellulose" and has an average degree of whiteness of 90%, which is 5-6% higher than the samples of cotton cellulose bleached without the use of a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer.

Текст научной статьи Development of technological process of cotton cellulose production and evaluation of experimental results
In this production cotton cellulose is produced on the technological line intended for processing of cotton raw materials into cellulose. The technological process consists of stages of dry mechanical purification of raw materials from mineral and organic waste, chemical purification, which consists in sequential processing of purified cotton raw materials by solutions of alkali and wetting agent in the process of boiling, washing, bleaching with hydrogen peroxide solution, washing, drying and packaging of the finished product.
The equipment of the technological line is located in the opening and cleaning area, in the chemical cleaning area and in the drying and packaging area. The technological line is equipped with equipment and machines of various companies, the characteristics of which are shown in Table 1 of Section 2.
Materials and research methods
All equipment in the continuous opening and cleaning area is connected in series with galvanized air pipes and belt conveyors. In the chemical cleaning and drying section the equipment of periodic action (boilers and bleaching tanks) and continuous action (water pumping unit, aerofontaneous drying unit, packaging press) is installed.
Technical specifications for hydrogen peroxide stabilizer had been developed. Sodium silicate plays a two-way role: as a hydrogen peroxide decomposition stabilizer and as a catalyst in the conditions of bleaching [1,2]. That's its unique property.
These technical specifications apply to the hydrogen peroxide stabilizer, derived from organic and inorganic compounds, intended for use in the bleaching of fibrous materials.
All requirements of these technical specifications are compulsory and suitable for certification.
DTPA 5NA is a known nitrogen-containing chelating agent both in the free form and as salts of alkali metals [3,4,5].
The record of the hydrogen peroxide stabilizer when ordering must consist of the product name with the raw material designation, the number of these technical specifications and the technical description ( TD ) number or a drawing for a specific product type.
«Hydrogen peroxide stabilizer СТ ТОО 40936697-005-2019 (ST TOO 40936697-0052019) ».
According to the physical and chemical indicators, the stabilizer must meet the standards are given in Table 1.

Ten pilot batches and 10 tons of cotton cellulose have been produced. Cotton cellulose bleaching processes were carried out within the framework of technological regulations for bleached cotton cellulose production.
Bleached cotton cellulose obtained by using a new hydrogen peroxide stabilizer meets the requirements of state standart 595-79 "Cotton cellulose" according to its quality characteristics.
The results of physical-mechanical and chemical experiments are given in Table 3.
