    The document describes the process for producing cellulose acetate from cellulose pulp. It involves pretreating the cellulose pulp using a hammer mill and disk refiner, then mixing it with acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid in an acetylation process. The resulting mixture undergoes hydrolysis and is purified through crystallization, solvent extraction, and filtration to produce the final cellulose acetate product.
