- introducing the cellulosic material into a disintegrating section of a disintegrator;

- converting the activated cellulosic material into an acetic ester thereof; and
- saponifying and aging the acetic ester to produce secondary cellulose acetate.
- 2. A process for producing cellulose acetate wherein water is added in the process only in the disintegrating section of a disintegrator consisting of the steps of:

- introducing the cellulosic material into a disintegrating section of a disintegrator;
- subjecting the cellulosic material to disintegration while feeding from 0.5 to less than 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of oven-dry pulp sheet, of water to the disintegrating section;
