No.11（2016）17.Development of a cotton fabrics impurities decomposition process using the advanced oxidation method

Ichiro Enomoto，Seiko Nakagawa

  Bleaching of cotton fabrics by UV-hydrogen peroxide method and ozone- microbubbles method was carried out. Both methods achieved the targeted whiteness of 80 (for dark color dyes) and whiteness of 85 (for light color dyes). In addition, compared to the bleaching of cotton fabrics using the conventional heat treatment, it was possible to significantly reduce the energy consumption and chemicals used. However, it was not possible to adequately demonstrate the combined effect of both methods at the present stage.
