The invention relates to a process (100, 101) for the production of spunbonded nonwovens (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) and a device (200, 201) for the production of spunbonded nonwovens (1.1, 1.2, 1.3), wherein, in the process (100, 101), a spinning mass (2) is extruded through a plurality of nozzle holes (4.1, 4.2, 4.3) of at least a first spinneret (3.1) and a second spinneret (3.2) to form filaments (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) and the filaments (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) are drawn, in each case, in the extrusion direction, with the filaments (5.1) of the first spinneret (3.1) being deposited on the conveyor belt (9) to form a first spunbonded nonwoven (1.1) and the filaments (5.2) of the second spinneret (3.2) being deposited on the conveyor belt (9) to form a second spunbonded nonwoven (1.2) over the first spunbonded nonwoven (1.1) in order to obtain a multi-layered spunbonded nonwoven (10). For increasing the throughput of the process, it is suggested that the multi-layered spunbonded nonwoven (10) is separated into at least the first spunbonded nonwoven (1.1) and the second spunbonded nonwoven (1.2) in a subsequent step and the first and second spunbonded nonwovens (1.1, 1.2) after separation each undergo a hydroentanglement (15.1, 15.2) and optionally a drying (12) individually and/or are each wound up individually.

The invention concerns a method for producing a carbon fibre, that comprises a step of preparing a continuous fibre made of cellulose from cotton fabrics, by extracting, from these fabrics, cotton in the form of short, discontinuous fibres, and implementing a solvent spinning process; this step being followed by a step of carbonising said obtained continuous fibre made from cellulose, in order to form a carbon fibre. This carbon fibre can be used, in particular, for producing articles made from composite material made from carbon fibres and polymer organic resin.

Disclosed is a continuous preparation method of cellulose fibers, in which a forming tension of 0.1 to 1.9 cN/dtex is applied to a fine solution stream obtained by extrusion through a spinneret plate and air gap cooling, then the fine solution stream is fed into a coagulating bath at a speed of 80 to 1000 m/min, a traction tension of 0.075 to 1.5 cN/dtex is continued to be applied to washed fibers in a water washing system behind the coagulating bath, and finally, the washed fibers are fed into a post-treatment system for continuous and efficient spinning of finished fibers at a speed of 80 to 1000 m/min.

A spinneret and system are provided for microfilm blowing of hollow polymer fibers. The spinneret includes a gaseous fluid passageway and a polymer dope passageway wherein the gaseous fluid passageway is inside the polymer dope passageway. Gaseous fluid is expelled from the gaseous fluid passageway within an annulus of polymer dope extruded from an extrusion opening of the spinneret. The extruded polymer dope is blown up and expanded by the gaseous fluid to form a hollow fiber with unique characteristics.
