Surfactant is one of the major consuming auxiliaries in textile processing. The rising demand for petroleum-based surfactants focus and it tremendously utilized to fulfil need industries. These are pollutants wastewater. Many attempts have been made replace this with low toxicity make process sustainable. present investigation works on same objective surfactant from desizing by using soapnut extract as a wetting agent. was optimised modern statistical technique Response Surface Methodology...

Agriculture biomass is a widely known renewable source that has high possibility of recycling. The present investigation deals with the extraction, pre-treatment, dyeing, and characterization natural fiber obtained from agricultural residues corn husk. Water retted husk fibers were subjected to two steps scouring bleaching hydrogen peroxide. process effectively reduced non-cellulosic impurities, increased cellulose content almost 79%, enhanced water absorption (431.5%), whiteness (54)...

Abstract India is the largest producer of jute in world and use this natural fibre various value‐added applications gaining momentum. The white biotechnology involving enzymes for efficient processing considered to boost its productivity. present investigation deals with pretreatment by using ultrasound‐assisted enzymatic scouring followed bleaching dyeing. process showed optimum removal impurities improved water absorption capacity minimal damage tensile strength. parameters conditions were...

Abstract The present investigation aims to develop a method for degumming Eri silk using Sapindus (soapnut) extract and optimise it response surface methodology (RSM). initial experiment was conducted with 10 g/L 60 min at boil, the experiments indicated effective degumming. Further were RSM process parameters, weight loss being primary response. results revealed an optimised recipe 9 92°C 30 min, desirability value this is 0.376. that has been alkali‐degummed loses more than degummed soap....

Abstract The non‐cellulosic impurities like oil, wax, and pectins present in the cotton fibre adversely impact wetting. Consequently, these must be removed during pretreatment process to prevent unevenness of subsequent coloration. Generally, an alkaline treatment with petroleum‐based synthetic surfactants is done, which called scouring. This study attempts develop environmentally safe alternative using alkali from wood ash extract (WAE) surfactant soapnut (SE). factors WAE (10%–30%), SE...

Textile wet processing is an energy-intensive and water-consuming process. Right from pretreatment to finishing several basic, auxiliary, specialty chemicals are used during the manufacturing of textiles. There two main processes, namely sizing desizing which mutually responsible for increasing Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) Chemical (COD) values liquid effluent emerging after This review describes in detail types commercial agents depending on their origin, performance, environmental...

Abstract Agricultural biomass is a well‐known renewable resource with strong possibility of recycling. The current work focuses on extracting, preparing and colouring Napier grass fibre (NGF) colourant extracted from Rubia tinctorum (RT) (which generally known as madder). NGF that had been water‐retted was alkaline scoured bleached using hydrogen peroxide to increase the material's whiteness index water absorption capacity without degrading its breaking strength. After being mordanted tannic...

The objective of this study is to investigate and analyze the effect varying sources energy inputs their impact on carbon emissions during wool fiber processing. method involved industrial visits textile processing mill interaction with manufacturing as well commercial sourcing teams gather relevant data. results outcome analysis indicate that wet responsible for a significant emission about 0.031 tCO2e/unit production. Coal source has highest 0.066 tCO2e/product, while use biomass...

Waste valorisation is the key to waste minimization. Chicken feathers and wool fabric are rich in protein content. Keratin forms a major part of these two materials. However, keratin material often discarded finally end up as landfills or incinerated. This research aims upcycle woolen chicken by selectively extracting from them. study reports development wound-healing nanofibre patch derived non-conventional sources like feathers. It repurpose abundant underutilised materials, taking...

This study investigated the type and amount of solid waste generation from textile wet processing industries analyzed disposal recycling strategies implemented for its utilization. The method involved industrial interactions with mills. Data was gathered based on a field survey manufacturing units their compliance management teams. generated in stages against input raw materials fuel sources recorded. challenges are identified further scope valorization is suggested. results indicate that...

Textile is a basic human need, it not only provides the aesthetic appeal but also imparts necessary sweat absorption and relevant functional effects. The textile material widely used for various hygiene comfort wear applications where as well leak proof retention of body fluids an essential parameter. This effect achieved when treated with suitable super absorbent chemicals. Superabsorbent finishes are polymeric coatings that significantly enhance liquid capacity substrates. Known...

The textile industry is witnessing significant transformations in dyeing methods due to technological advancements. Innovations techniques have not only revolutionized the way fabrics are colored but also paved for more sustainable and efficient practices. This article explores innovations advancements brought about by technology, impact of these on industry, implications future processes. successful substitution hazardous chemicals with alternatives like salt-free dyeing, urea replacement,...

The post-consumer textile waste may contain several dyes, and it is difficult to predict the type of dye present in it. chemistry dyes their bonding with textiles are not similar; therefore, colour can be stripped off using a specific method pertaining dye-fibre combination. However, common decolourisation will highly sought-after solve such limitations. investigation deals combined stripping cellulosic materials dyed Direct, Reactive, Vat Sulphur followed by optimisation. Sodium hydroxide...

The textile and garment industry’s fast fashion model, driven by cheap production consumer demand, has shortened lifespans increased clothing waste.
