Definitions
- the present invention relates to the treatment of textiles. More particularly, the present invention relates to the bleaching of bast fibers and cloth made from these fibers, such as linen. In addition, the present invention relates to the bleaching of cotton and linen cloth containing colored ingrain patterns and/or stripes.
- bleaching processes which achieve adequate degrees of brightness for commercial standards result in the bleeding of this predyed stripe or pattern.
- Processes involving bleaching linen cloth also require bleaching sequences which are quite time consuming, often necessitating operations lasting forty hours or more.
- linen cloth and fibers treated in accordance with the teachings of this invention are found to attain exceptionally high degrees of brightness while maintaining tensile strengths well within accepted standards.
- cotton and linen materials containing predyed striping or patterns with dyes not fast to usual peroxide bleaching solutions are now capable of being bleached to a high degree of brightness while maintaining adequate tensile strength and with considerably less bleeding of the dye occurring.
- absorbency of the finished product is considerably improved, thus rendering the process extremely desirable in applications involving linen toweling.
- substantial reductions in the time required to bleach linen cloth are readily achieved.
- linen cloth which has been treated by conventional desizing operations is passed through two alkaline baths which scour and bleach the goods.
- the goods are soured with a sodium bisulfite solution and then treated in a hydrogen peroxide bleaching bath.
- the sequential treatment of the linen cloth in two alkaline baths and the final hydrogen peroxide bleaching solution gives rise to linen material having exceptionally high degrees of brightness and good tensile strength. It is found that linen goods treated in this manner also attain absorbent qualities not usually found in linen materials having tensile strengths on the order of thosefound in material treated in this manner.
- the goods 3,281,202 Patented Oct. 25, 1966 are subjected in the first bath to an alkaline solution containing small quantities of ammonium hydroxide.
- the alkaline solution is an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide or a combination of the two.
- the goods are boiled for periods of time ranging from fifteen minutes upwards.
- the goods are passed to a hypochlorite bleaching bath maintained at a pH of 9 to 12. Treatment in this latter bath is usually conducted at room temperature and for a period of time ranging from onehalf hour upwards.
- the goods After completion of the hypochlorite bleaching step, the goods are passed into a bath containing sodium bisulfite and maintained in an acid pH range of between 1 and 5. From this sodium bisulfite solution, the goods are passed into a hydrogen peroxide bleaching tank where they are bleached to final whiteness.
- the desizing of the cotton and/ or linen cloth treated may be conducted in any conventional enzyme desizing solution such as, for example, an amylase enzymatic bath. Baths of this kind and the treatment steps utilized to accomplish desizing are well known in the art and exemplary baths and treatments are described in Chemistry and Chemical Technology of Cotton, edited by Kyle Ward, in, published by Interscience Publishers, Inc., N.Y. 1955, pages 134 through 144.
- the cloth Upon completion of the desizing operation, the cloth is subjected to an aqueous wash in warm water at a temperature in the range of from F. to F; for periods from three to fifteen minutes. Upon completion of the washing operation, the cloth is then introduced into the first stage of the bleaching process comprising the instant invention.
- the first alkaline treatment the cloth is subjected to involves the contact of the cloth with an aqueous alkaline solution of sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide containing ammonium hydroxide.
- the sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide concentration in this aqueous alkaline solution is usually maintained below 2 percent by weight of solution.
- the sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide concentration of the solution is about 0.5 percent by weight, but may range broadly from between 0.1 percent up to about 2 percent.
- Ammonium hydroxide concentrations in the alkaline bath are maintained in a range of from 0.1 percent up to 1.3 percent. Generally, the ammonium hydroxide concentration is maintained somewhere between 0.8 percent and 1.1 percent by weight.
- the aqueous solution is maintained at a pH in the range of between 9 and 11.5. Temperatures of the solution are maintained on the warm side and range generally between 160 F. to 250 F. The lengths of time the cloth is maintained in contact with the solution may be varied somewhat, but generally is between fifteen minutes to two hours. During the contact of the cloth with the aqueous alkaline solution, the cloth is essentially saturated with solution. Material after treatment in the aqueous alkaline bath is removed and washed in a cold water wash for a period of from three to fifteen minutes.
- the hypochlorite bleaching tank contains an aqueous solution of hypochlorite, usually sodium hypochlorite, but alkaline earth metal hypochlorites may also be employed if desired.
- hypochlorite is utilized in this bleaching bath.
- the hypochlorite concentration in the aqueous hypochlorite bleaching bath is maintained in a range of from 3 to 30 grams per liter hypochlorite measured as available chlorine. Stated in another way, the hypochlorite concentration in the aqueous hypochlorite bleaching solution is maintained in a range of from 0.31 to 3.15 percent by weight.
- the goods are maintained for periods of time ranging between thirty minutes and two hours, and at temperatures ranging broadly between 50 F. to 150 F.
- the temperature of the hypochlorite bleaching tank is maintained somewhere between 65 F. and 95 F.
- the goods in the hypochlorite bleaching tank are essentially saturated with the hypochlorite solution.
- souring tank containing sodium bisulfite in concentrations ranging from 0.1 percent by weight of solution up to 1 percent by weight of solution.
- the souring conducted in the sodium bisulfite aqueous solution is usually conducted at room temperatures, but the temperature may vary between 50 F. to 120 F. Treatment in this batch is usually quite short and ranges anywhere from five minutes to one-half hour.
- the goods are washed in cold water usually at ambient temperatures for periods of from three to fifteen minutes.
- the goods are then introduced into an aqueous hydrogen peroxide bleaching solution having a pH between 8.5 and 11 containing between 0.2 and 1.4 percent by weight of hydrogen peroxide (anhydrous) basis the weight of the aqueous solution.
- aqueous hydrogen peroxide bleaching solution having a pH between 8.5 and 11 containing between 0.2 and 1.4 percent by weight of hydrogen peroxide (anhydrous) basis the weight of the aqueous solution.
- small quantities of sodium silicate which may be employed have the general formula Na O(SiO where x represents a number from 2 to 4.
- the concentration of the sodium silicate contained in the hydrogen peroxide bleaching bath is in a range generally between 0.1 and 2.0 percent by weight of solution.
- Temperatures in the hydrogen peroxide bleaching bath are maintained generally between 70 F. and 250 F., but are usually maintained within the range of between 60 F. to 185 F.
- the goods are treated in the hydrogen peroxide bleaching bath for periods of time ranging between one hour and three hours.
- the goods Upon completion of the bleaching cycle in the hydrogen peroxide bleaching bath, the goods are subjected to a double wash, the initial wash consisting of a warm water wash at temperatures from 90 F. to 140 F. for periods of between three and fifteen minutes. Upon completion of the warm water wash, the goods are then passed into a cold water wash tank and subjected to cold water washing at ambient temperatures of 70 F. for periods of from three to fifteen minutes. Upon completion of the final cold water wash, the goods are then ready for drying, pressing and final processing.
- the initial wash consisting of a warm water wash at temperatures from 90 F. to 140 F. for periods of between three and fifteen minutes.
- the goods Upon completion of the warm water wash, the goods are then passed into a cold water wash tank and subjected to cold water washing at ambient temperatures of 70 F. for periods of from three to fifteen minutes.
- the goods Upon completion of the final cold water wash, the goods are then ready for drying, pressing and final processing.
