Part II: work out
I. Given recipes for single stage desizing /scouring /bleaching of 100% cotton fabric.
Chemicals concentration (o.w.f) % stock solution %
H2O2 5 10
NaOH 0.9 11
Stabilizer 2 5
Wetting 0.1 5
Sequestering agent 0.1 5
Time 90`
Temperature 95o c
Sample weight =10gm
MLR: 1:10

II. Calculate the chemical consumption per shift for 2000m of 220 gsm quality fabric of 165inch width
for continuous bleaching range machine with 80% wet pick up and 60m/min speed standard recipe
caustic soda 20g/l, per oxide 30g/l ,wetting agent 3g/l, stabilizer 3g/l, sequestering agent 2g/l.(9pt)
III. Calculate the amount of chemical required for 400kg in the combined scour- bleach of cotton woven
fabric with 200Gsm and 120 Cm fabric width and the standard recipes of the chemical is follow.(9pt)
wetting agent 10g/l
H2O2 20g/l
sequesting agent 5g/l
NaOH 10g/l
Wet pick up 84%
Speed of machine 200m/min
Bonus!! calculate the Amount of chemical total liter for 320 Kg of fabric exhausted method of
bleaching of cotton woven fabric with the standard recipes NaOH 4% H2O2 3% squestering agent
0.5% & WETTING AGENT 0.5% width of the fabric 100cm .
Weave is a dream, spin is a story.
