With a growing number of consumers demand-
ing more Earth-friendly practices from the fash-
ion world, scientists are developing new ways to
produce textiles that could help meet rising ex-
pectations. They report in the ACS journal In-
dustrial & Engineering Chemistry Research one
such method that can dramatically reduce the
amount of energy it takes to bleach cotton while
improving the quality of the popular material.
These scientists point out that the cotton
industrys current whitening techniques require
bleaching the natural fiber at very high tempera-
tures with hydrogen peroxide. Although this
method results in the bright white material con-
sumers have grown so fond of, it also lowers the
quality of the material and takes a lot of energy
to carry out. Multiply that by the 7.3 billion
pounds of cotton produced in the US. alone,
and the energy needs soar. To cut down on the
energy the textile industry uses to make cotton,
they targeted their efforts toward lowering the
bleaching techniques high temperatures.
This group of scientists developed a novel
compound that, when used with hydrogen per-
oxide, drops the bleaching temperature down to
140 degrees Fahrenheit from 200 degrees. It is
estimated that 60 degree difference would result
in a process requiring less than half the energy
as the commercial technique. It also produced
less waste water, improved the weight of the ma-
terial and performed its original function
whitening the cotton. Since many materials des-
tined to become clothing eventually take on vari-
ous hues, the scientists also tested dyes and
found the cotton bleached at the lower tempera-
ture could be made just as vibrant as its high-
heat counterpart. They successfully showed the
treatments effectiveness on knitted cotton fabric
in commercial scale trials.
