Milling cotton fiber

Graft Copol3nnerization by Norton Ball Milling Cotton fiber sheets were torn into lengths of 1-2 cm and soaked with methyl methacrylate monomer and water (9 1 ratio in volume) for 24 hrs prior to milling in nitrogen atmosphere.

Dust in the air of a mill engaged in the mechanical processing of cotton, flax, hemp, or certain other natural fibers is generally agreed to cause byssinosis (1 -4). No specific causative agent of byssinosis in the dust, however, has yet been unequivocally identified ( ). Certain bacteria dispersed from cotton fiber or bracts into mill air have been suggested to be a probable cause. 

There have been reports of reactions between house dust and cotton dust antibodies (38) and of allergens in cottonseed proteins by Spies et al T39). Also, byssinosis is uncommon in cottonseed crushing mills. Therefore we looked for the presence of antigens in water extracts of house dust, cottonseed hulls, cottonseed kernel proteins and clean hand picked cotton fibers that had not been baled. The results in Figure 5 indicate that house dust does not contain antigens common to those found in cotton dust. 

The U.S. HVI system for the classification of fiber quality and instrumentation for measuring other fiber properties are becoming more widely used all over the industrialized world, as well as in some developing countries for determining the proper laydown and mix for processing cotton in textile mills. Therefore, the U.S. system will be described in more detail than the other classing systems. Information also is given on how the various quality parameters can affect cotton fiber chemistry. 

For environmental effluent and solid fiber waste concerns and processing of all kinds, it is beneficial for textile mills to know the concentrations of noncellulosic constituents of cotton fiber and what is leachable and removable from the fiber. Then mills know how to handle their water and fiber waste and how to dye and finish the cotton [47].

Baled cotton fiber is merchandized and shipped by the merchant to the textile mill for manufacturing into products for the consumer. The seed is shipped directly for feeding to dairy cattle or to a cottonseed oil mill for crushing (49-51).
