Question

how is artificial silk made?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Artificial silk, or rayon, is madefrom cellulose, obtained from cotton or wood pulp. The cellulose is dissolved in a substance called alkaline carbon disulphide to make a thick liquid. This is squirted through tiny holes into a bath of acid. It reforms as fibres, which can be spun into yarn.

Answer 2

$\underline{\underline{\sf{Answer}}}$

⟹The process of making silk starts from an alkaline solution of cellulose.

⟹The wood or cotton pulp is treated with caustic soda until a merceriza-tion somewhat similar to the chemical reaction in mercerizing cotton yarn has taken place.

⟹ But the decomposition is carried much farther in making viscose.
