(ii)
Understand and perform solomatic bleaching by contious method

MACHINES/MATERIAL REQUIRED
Desized fabric
Pad steam machine

CHEMICAL REQUIRED
Hydrogen per oxide
Caustic soda
Stabilizer
Weting agent
Sequesting agent

DISCUSSION
In solomatic bleaching both the scouring and bleaching process are carried out simitaniously
for economicalll processing .
Scouring is the process impurities present in the cellulosic fibers are removed by trearting it
with alkali . In this process fats , waxes , protiens , oils , ash substances such as pigments
hemi cellulosic and reducing sugar etc are removed from the fabric . The typicall process
consist of boling the contaiminated cotton fabric with 3- 6 % solution of sodium hydroxide.
Fats and waxes are insoluble in water when alkali reacts with them , Soap is formed .this
process is called saponification
Soap formed during saponification is not only water soluble but also has detergent
properties this property will lead to the renmoval of the dirt and other insoluble impurities
Cotton contains natural pigments called cholorophylls and xanthophylls , which cause its
colour to be yellowish in the process of bleaching these pigments are removed from the
cotton fiber .Along with these pugments seed fregments are also removed. Thus bllllllleachin
accomplishes purification of the fiber .
Solomatic bleaching serves to remove almost all of the impurities including fats, waxes,
pictins ,ash , cholorophylls and xanmthophylls and also seed fregments this it is an
economicall process saving both the tiome and money. Hoe ever , if full white fabruc with
high degree of whitness its intebded then , it is better to perform both the process sepratelty
to achieve best results
