Abstract

Disclosed are a wet spinning apparatus and a wet spinning method, which enable to manufacture fibers with excellent quality by controlling the flow of a coagulation liquid in a spinning bath and which enable to cope with high speed spinning (or high speed drawing). A wet spinning apparatus comprises a spinning bath at one end in which there are provided a nozzle for discharging a spinning raw liquid and coagulation liquid discharge ports and for discharging a coagulation liquid, at the other end in which there are provided a drawing roll for drawing coagulated filaments and a coagulation liquid recovery portion into which the coagulation liquid flows out. The spinning bath has a coagulation bath portion having a cross sectional area gradually reduced from one end to the other end, for coagulating the spinning raw liquid, and a filament running portion having a cross sectional area gradually enlarged from one end to the other end, for allowing the coagulated filaments to run therein.

Claims (7)

1. A method for wet spinning for synthetic fibers with a wet spinning apparatus including a spinning bath having a coagulation bath portion, a filament running portion, and a joint portion between the coagulation bath portion and the filament running portion, the method comprising:

providing a cross sectional area of the coagulation bath portion as gradually reduced from a first end to a second end of the coagulation bath portion;

providing a cross sectional area of the filament running portion as gradually enlarged from a first end to a second end of the filament running portion;

providing, at the first end of the coagulation bath portion, a bath wall including a non-porous plate and at least one port;

supplying coagulation fluid to the coagulation bath portion with the bath wall;

wet spinning the synthetic fibers using the wet spinning apparatus; and

regulating a flow rate of a coagulation liquid at the joint portion to fall in a range of 0.5 to 1.5 times as much as a drawing speed of a running filament tow.
