Bioinnowacyjna metoda odtłuszczania tkanin bawełnianych za pomocą kwasowej i neutralnej pektynazy

Using biotechnology during textile processing has been known for years due to its environmental benefits and special performance of enzymes in comparison with the conventional processing of textiles. This paper deals with the bioscouring of cotton fabric with acid and neutral pectinases in comparison with alkali scouring. Variations in technological procedures, as expressed through pad-roll and exhaustion, were also identified for the bioscouring of cotton fabrics. The varied impacts of alkali, acid, and neutral pectinases on the properties of cotton fabrics throughout the processing technology were evaluated for electrokinetic phenomena, hydrophilicity, mechanical and chemical degradation, inorganic residues, and whiteness.Biotechnologie dla obróbki tekstyliów stosowane są z powodzeniem od lat ze względu na brak negatywnego oddziaływania na środowisko oraz korzystne oddziaływanie enzymów na właściwości obrabianych tekstyliów w stosunku do technologii konwencjonalnych. Praca dotyczy odtłuszczania bawełnianej tkaniny za pomocą kwasowej i neutralnej pektynazy w porównaniu z odtłuszczaniem zasadowym. Badano również szereg modyfikacji tej technologii. Wpływ zasadowej, kwasowej i neutralnej obróbki tych tkanin badano poprzez zjawiska elektrokinetyczne, hydrofilowość, mechaniczną i chemiczną degradację oraz biel obrobionych tkanin

Silica precursor as synergist for cotton flame retardancy

Purpose \u2013 The cotton and its blends is the most commonly used textile material in the design and production of protective clothing. However, as the cellulose textiles are the most flammable materials it is necessary to improve its flame retardancy. The government regulations have been the driving force for developing durable flame retardants finishes for textile, to improve its performance and to reduce the negative impact on the environment. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach \u2013 This paper investigates the effect of silica precursor (tetraethoxysilane \u2013 TEOS) added in bath with conventional flame retardant urea/ammonium polyphosphate in full and half concentration for achieving environmental-friendly cotton flame retardancy. Silica precursors have excellent thermal stability and high heat resistance with very limited release of toxic gases during the thermal decomposition. Synergistic effect between urea/ammonium polyphosphate and TEOS has been calculated. Thermal properties of treated cotton fabrics were determined by limiting oxygen index (LOI), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and microscale combustion calorimeter (MCC). Findings \u2013 TEOS, significantly improves the flame retardancy of cotton when added in the bath with conventional flame retardants urea/ammonium polyphosphate by increasing the LOI values and other thermal properties as increasing char residue measured by TGA and higher heat release rate measured by MCC. Originality/value \u2013 This paper represent a good synergistic effect between urea/ammonium polyphosphate and TEOS. This phenomena is evident in better thermal properties when TEOS was added in the bath with conventional flame retardant especially for half concentration of urea/ammonium polyphosphate
