Title Of Article :
The Use of Ozone in Textile Finishing
Abstract :
The use of oxidative and reductive agents is a common concern of textile finishing. The most common oxidative substance used in textile finishing is hydrogen peroxide which is mainly used for bleaching. The examples for other common oxidative substances are hypochlorite and sodium chlorite. Textile auxiliaries are needed as well as temperature adjustment in order to activate and stabilize these oxidative substances. Ozone is an oxidative substance with a redox potential higher than tat of hydrogen peroxide and ozone can be utilized without further use of auxiliaries and increase of temperature. Researchers reported various studies informing the use of ozone for textile finishing with the advantages of lower environmental impact and lower heating costs. In this article, the literature on the use of ozone in textile finishing is reviewed.
