The advantage of sodium hypochlorite strong oxidation in textile industry

Sep03,24

Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is a common bleaching agent, its bleaching effect mainly comes from its strong oxidation, in water in the form of HClO and ClO two forms, HClO is extremely unstable, easy to decompose O2. The new ecological oxygen has a strong oxidation capacity, which can destroy the organic pigment groups and make the colored matter fade. Therefore, it is used to bleach pulp in the paper industry and to bleach fabrics in the textile industry.

The bleaching principle of sodium hypochlorite is to oxidize dyes to colorless through its strong oxidation, so as to achieve bleaching effect. The solution is usually yellowish, has a chlorine-like odor, and is corrosive and irritating. When using, it is necessary to pay attention to standardized use and isolate the skin to avoid harm to the human body and the environment.

In the textile industry, sodium hypochlorite is used to improve the whiteness of fabrics and remove pigments, but it is also necessary to pay attention to its potential damage to fibers. For example, the use of sodium hypochlorite-oxygen bleaching process in linen-cotton blended fabrics may cause greater chemical damage to the fabric. The bleaching process of sodium hypochlorite is as follows: rolling sodium hypochlorite solution → stacking → water washing → dechlorination → water washing. The bleaching solution contains 3 ~ 5g/L of effective chlorine, and the pH value is adjusted to about 10 with caustic soda. The bleaching solution is dipped at room temperature, piled at room temperature for 30 ~ 60min, and then washed, dechlorinated, and washed to produce cloth. In the paper industry, sodium hypochlorite solution can also be used to improve the whiteness of pulp. For example, in grass paper making, the combination of sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide can improve the whiteness of pulp and reduce the lignin content. In addition, the use of sodium hypochlorite can also reduce the damage to the fiber by adding bleaching AIDS, such as complex enzyme additives can significantly improve the bleaching effect and reduce the fiber damage during the bleaching process.

However, the use of sodium hypochlorite also has some problems, such as the degradation of pulp fibers under high temperature conditions, and the oxidation of fluorescent whitening agents in the bleaching process, affecting the yellowing and whitening effect of fabrics. Therefore, controlling the use factors of sodium hypochlorite and optimizing bleaching process are the key to improve its application effect in textile and paper industry.
The bleaching effect of sodium hypochlorite is affected by many factors, including pH, concentration and temperature. In practical applications, the pH value of sodium hypochlorite solution is usually controlled between 9.5 and 10.5 to ensure its stability and bleaching effect. In addition, the concentration of sodium hypochlorite solution will also affect its bleaching effect, household bleach usually contains 5% sodium hypochlorite, while industrial bleach concentrations are higher.
