EFFECT OF CHEMICAL TREATMENT ON THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF JUTE FIBRE (Pages : 75 - 77)

De-lignifications are an important step for jute fibre to make fine yarn. An investigation is described in which an attempt was made to elucidate the influence of lignin association in jute fibres, after a progressive delignification treatment, by means of scanning electron microscopy. De-lignifications of NaOH treated jute fiber was considered in this paper. Naturally weathered jute fibres were chemically modified using various treatments. The effects of bleaching with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and de-lignifications by sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide treatments on the reflectance, fineness and tensile properties were studied in Noakhali Textile Engineering College. The brightness of jute is found to be improved most effectively with minimum loss of tensile strength by bleaching with H2O2.Download
