STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PERCY EDGAR WIOKI-IAM, OF LONDON, ENGLAND, ASSIGNOR TO BADISCHE ANILIN & SODA FABRIK, OF LUDWIGSI-IAFEN-ON-TI-IE-RHINE, GERMANY, A CORPORATION.
BLEACI-IING STRAW.
No Drawing.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PERCY EDGAR VVIOK- HAM, traveler, subject of the King of England, residing at London, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bleaching Straw, of which the following is a specification.
In bleaching straw by means of hydrosullites, as hitherto practised, the straw is treated with a dilute solution of hydrosulfite at ordinary temperature. Under these conditions the bleaching action is but slight and the effect obtained is not by itself sufiicient to satisfy practical requirements, so that the bleaching has been supplemented by the use of other bleaching agents, besides the hydrosulfite, usually by hydrogen peroxid. I have found that the bleaching action of hydrosulfites can be considerably increased if the bleaching be efiected at a raised temperature, for instance at from aboutjfi? to {55 0., instead of at ordinary temperature. I add to the bleaching solu tion an alkali, or a salt having an alkaline reaction; such, for example, as soda, sodium p hgsphatg, or the like. After treatment in this manner, the straw can be worked up in the usual, or any suitable, way, being subjected to the usual, or any suitable, clearing and finishing treatments. It is, in some cases, advantageous, or necessary, to use two, or more, hydrosulfite baths in succession.
In carrying out my invention it is advisable that the hydrosulfite bath or, when two or more are used in succession, the first hydrosulfite bath, remains alkaline, and it is also preferred that, in the latter case, the second and any succeeding bath or baths be maintained alkaline, as, if the bath or baths, be allowed to become acid, the shade of the straw sometimes appears to suffer and the hydrosulfite decomposes more rapidly. Thgn sodium phosphate is employed in the bath, onba'ths,it"appears both to assist in maintaining the bath, or baths, alkaline and also to exercise a beneficial influence, as when sodium phosphate is employed the straw is generally obtained of a lighter shade after being finished and dried than is the case when sodium phosphate is not employed.
The following are examples of how this invention can be carried into practical effect, but the invention is not confined to these examples. The parts are by weight.

Serial No. 628,502.
Example 1: Dissolve one thousand parts of powdered sodium hydrosulfite, five hundred parts of crystallized sodium phosphate, and three hundred parts of calcined soda, in one hundred thousand parts of cold water. Introduce the straw into this solution and gradually raise the temperature to about from fifty-five to sixty-five degrees centrigrade; maintain this temperature for a few hours longer and then cool gradually. Remove the straw and thoroughly rinse it, and finish it by treatment for, say, two or three hours in a bath containing about two parts of oxalic acid in one thousand parts of soft water and having a temperature of, say, from thirty to forty degrees centigrade. Remove the straw and thoroughly rinse and dry it.
Example 2 Wash straw plaits in the usual way. Prepare a cold bleaching bat-h as follows :sodium phosphate ten parts per thousand and sodium hydrosulfite (anhydrous) three and one-third parts per thousand of the bath, and add sufficient sodium "car bonate, or potassium carbonate, tothe bath so that it not only becomes distinctly alkaline, but remains alkaline to the end of the treatment. Introduce the straw into the cold bath and after, say, about two or three hours raise the temperature, gradually, to about forty degrees centigrade and keep it at this temperature for, say, from twelve to fifteen hours, and then raise the temperature to sixty degrees centigrade. Allow the bath and its contents to cool and then remove the straw and stove it for about half an hour before drying. a
For certain kinds of straw, for instance Chinese mottled plait, the procedure hereinbefore described should preferably be repeated once or twice. The straw is subsequently subjected to any usual, or suitable, clearing and finishing treatments with oxalic acid and potassium carbonate (separately or in combination), with excess of potassium carbonate, and dried with sulfur stoving.
Now what I claim is 1. The process of bleaching straw by treating it with a hydrosulfite in an alkaline bleaching bath at a raised temperature substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The process of bleaching straw by treating it with a hydrosulfite at a raised temperature in an alkaline bleaching bath containing sodium phosphate, substantially In testimony whereof I have hereunto set as hereinbefore described. my hand in the presence of two subscribing 10 3.
