A process for forming a fiber tow, involves a wet spinning procedure comprising the steps of: dissolving cellulose pulp N in an alkaline aqueous solvent to form a cellulose spin dope composition, spinning the cellulose spin dope composition in a coagulation having a p H of more than 7.0, preferably a pH of at least 10, to produce a fiber tow, and passing the produced fiber tow through a sequence of consecutive stretching and washing steps in which the formed fiber tow is washed with a washing liquid by a counter-current flow washing procedure.

The present invention provides a cellulose powder containing an alkali-soluble substance capable of dissolving in 17.5% by mass of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, the content of the alkali-soluble substance being 32% by mass or more and 44% by mass or less with respect to the total mass of the cellulose powder, the use thereof, and tablets using the same.
