DETERMINATION OF WEIGHT LOSS OF KNIT FABRICS IN COMBINED SCOURING-BLEACHING AND ENZYMATIC TREATMENT (Pages : 18 - 21)

The aim of the work was to measure the weight loss of cotton knitted fabrics in combined scouring-bleaching and enzymatic treatment. 100% cotton knitted single jersey fabrics were scoured-bleached at the Wet Processing Laboratory of Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology using H2O2 at variable concentrations (2 g/l, 4 g/l and 6 g/l) and certain period of time (30 min, 60 min and 90 min). It was observed that weight loss% was less (1.49%) at less concentration (2 g/l H2O2) using short period of time (30 min) and increased (13.97%) using the high concentration (6 g/l H2O2) with long period of time (90 min). Also weight loss% was found less (2.01%) at 0.25% concentration of enzyme with lower time of treatment (30 min) and increased gradually with increasing concentration and time of enzymatic treatment.Download
