    Abstract: The invention relates to methods of producing microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). According to the invention a fibrous pulp suspension is fibrillated mechanically at a consistency of less than 12.5%, dewatered to raise the consistency of the fibrillated suspension to at least 12.5%, and then subjected in the dewatered condition to further fibrillation. Alternatively an initially fibrillated fibrous pulp suspension may be dewatered and fibrillated in the dewatered condition, after which these dewatering and fibrillating steps are repeated one or more times so that pulp consistency is increased for each fibrillation step. The goals of raising the consistency between subsequent fibrillations are energy saving and an increased aspect ratio in MFC. The invention even comprises uses of the MFC product, e.g. as an additive for papermaking furnish or injection molded plastic composites.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing oxidized or microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). According to the invention there is provided an aqueous pulp suspension with a consistency of at least 15%, and at least one oxidant is added to the suspension to oxidize cellulosic hydroxyl groups in the suspension under mechanical mixing or shearing. The oxidized suspension, washed and diluted to a lower consistency, is subjected to homogenization to yield gel-like MFC. Alkali hypochlorite may be used as oxidant, and preferred mediating oxidation catalysts are AZADO and TEMPO. Alkali bromide may be used as a cocatalyst. The MFC product, which as a suspension has an increased viscosity, is suitable as a means of regulating viscosity or for production of films and composites.
