1. A method of preparing cellulose solution, comprising the steps of:
- (A) dissolving 0.01 to 3% by weight of cellulose powder in the liquid-state, concentrated N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) solvent to provide cellulose-containing NMMO solution; and
(B) feeding the cellulose-containing NMMO solution and the cellulose powder into an extruder having a screw to be subjected to dispersing, mixing, shearing, kneading, melting and measuring processes in the extruder so as to produce cellulose solution that is swollen and homogenized.

Abstract
This invention relates to a method of preparing cellulose solution which is homogeneous at relatively low temperature, in which a small amount of cellulose powder or polyvinylalcohol is dissolved in the liquid-state, concentrated N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (hereinafter, referred to as ‘NMMO’) so as to lower the solidifying temperature of NMMO, and then, the resulting solution and cellulose powder are fed into an extruder so as to be mixed, swollen and melted in the extruder.
