Total Textile Process at a Glance

Scouring:

Scouring is the process by which all
natural and additive impurities such as
oil, wax, fat, hand dust etc. are
removed to produce hydrophilic and
clean textile material. It is one of the
vital processes of wet processing.
Objects of Scouring:
To make the fabric highly hydrophilic.
To remove impurities such as oils, waxes, gum,
husks as nearly as possible.
To increase absorbency of fabric or textile
materials without physical and chemical
damage.
To produce a clean material by adding alkali.
To make the fabric ready for next process. To
remove non-cellulosic substance in case of
cotton.

Chemicals used in scouring process:

Main chemicals Use
Caustic soda Neutralize acidic materials, saponify glycerides
(waxes and oil),solubilise silicates
Surfactants Reduce surface tension & minimize interfacial
tension.
Detergents Emulsify oil, fats, waxes and remove oil-borne
stains.
Chelating agent Deactivate metal ions.
Sodium silicate Penetrate & break drown lignin's.
Soda ash Maintain p
H.

Solvent Assist emulsification by dissolving oily
materials.

General recipe for scouring for Kier boiler process:


Alkali (NaOH) - 2 to 5 gm per Litre.
Soda ash - x gm per Litre to adjust PH (PH required for
scouring is 10.5).
Wetting agent - 1 gm per Litre.
Sequestering agent - 1 gm per Litre.
Detergent - 1 to 2 gm per Litre.
Temperature 100 0c.
Time - 6 hours (close vessel) and 8 hours (open vessel)
M : L - 1 : 10

Scouring Process
There are two types of textile scouring processes
1. Conventional scouring process:
Kier boiling (discontinuous) scouring.
Scouring in J or L box (continuous).
Exhaust method

2. Special scouring process:
Solvent scouring process.
Vapor lock scouring proces

- Water and chemical agent prepared as
according to liquor ratio at recipe
- Fabric done at solution process with

during 60 minute
- Afterwards cloth cleaned by hot water
,then cleaned to be chill water
- Materials dried is later,then weigh and
perceived, do test of fabric absorpsion.

Scouring methods of Cotton:
Generally, there are two principle methods of
cotton scouring.
Discontinuous (Kier boiling process or winch
dyeing machine)
Continuous (Scouring in J or L box)

Main parts of kier boiler:
Cylindrical vessel
Mixing tank(liquor prepared according to recipe)
Multi tubular heat exchanger(heating the liquor)
Perforated false bottom
Circular tube(spray liquor on fabric)

Process: The working process in J-box can be divided into four units. There
are
Impragnaion box
Pre heater.
J box.
Washing unit.

Good scouring
Uniform scouring
Uneven scouring
Added Impurities
Sizing agents:
Agents used to give protective coating to warp threads
Minimize the breaking of warp threads during weaving
Improve weaving productvity.
The operation is known as sizing.
Starch is one of the most important sizing agent for cotton
PREPARATORY PROCESSES
Purpose
To remove added and natural impurities from textile
material

Removal impurities to the maximum extent possible
with minimum effect on fibre strength.

To impart desirable properties to textile material
Principle of preparatory processes
The impurity is insoluble in water
Conversion of water insoluble impurity to its water soluble
form.
Chemical reactions involved are
Hydrolysis
Oxidation
The choice of chemicals depends on chemical nature of
impurity.


Description and Working Principle of Scouring Process:

Kier boiler is a long mild steel or cast iron cylindrical vessel
provided with two perforated tube sheets (disc with a number of
holes). One is placed at the bottom and another is top. These discs
are connected by a number of tunes which carry the liquor from
the bottom compartment to the upper one. In the middle
compartment steam is passed. Thus the tubes carrying the liquor
are surrounded by steam which heats them.

The hot liquor from the multitublar heater is sprayed over the
cloth, packed in the kier, through a hollow perforated ring. The
liquid passes slowly over the packed cloth, collects below the false
bottom, from where it is pumped into the auxiliary heater by a
centrifugal pump and the cycle repeats.
