Wood cellulose obtained after barking and shreeding is treated with an alkali like NaOH and later with Carbon di sulfide(CS2), the resulting product obtained is a substance by name Cellulose Xanthate. This Cellulose Xanthate once obtained is later treated with NaOH, the Cellulose Xanthate gets dissolved in NaOH forming a alkaline Cellulose Xanthate i.e a thick alkali solution of cellulose Xanthate is formed which is called Viscose. Rayon yarn i made by forcing the Viscose obtained through tiny openings in a Spinneret into an acid solution, which will coagulate in the form of fine strands, this process was discovered in late 1892 by an English chemist Charles fedrick and Edward John Bevan
