Cottonbleach | IMPROVED NOVEL ECO-FRIENDLY BLEACHING SYSTEM FOR COTTON USING ENZYME AND ULTRASONIC PROCESSES

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS


The technological objective is to improve current cotton fabric bleaching levels with significant savings


This could be possible through implementation of 3 different improvements:

· Laccase Pre-treatment enhanced with Ultrasounds, modifying cotton coloured compounds in order to be easily removed.
· Bleaching enhancement by ultrasounds, studying which configuration maximizes peroxide diffusion rates into cotton fibres.
· Produce hydrogen peroxide on-line, using wastewater lateral flow.
