Textile processing industry

Trichloroethylene is an excellent extraction solvent for greases, oils, fats, waxes, and tars and is used by the textile processing industry to scour cotton, wool, and other fabrics (lARC 1979 Kuney 1986 Verschueren 1983). The textile industry also uses trichloroethylene as a solvent in waterless dying and finishing operations (McNeill 1979). As a general solvent or as a component of solvent blends, trichloroethylene is used with adhesives, lubricants, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, pesticides, and cold metal cleaners (Hawley 1981 lARC 1979 McNeill 1979).

Genencor has recently launched its new range of PrimaGreen cellulase, laccase and esterase enzyme products for textile processing. These allow combined denim abrasion, color adjustment and bleaching processes at lower temperatures, mild pH conditions and with significant less use of water. They operate from the vision that they can enable the textile processing industry... 

Sodium hydroxide is also used by the paper and pulp industry and the textile processing industry. Sodium hydroxide is used to make soap and detergents as well as cellophane. It is universally used to neutralize acids and generate the sodium salt of the respective acid.

Uses. The principal use of monosodium phosphate is as a water-soluble soHd acid and pH buffer, primarily in acid-type cleaners. The double salt, NaH2P04 H PO, referred to as hemisodium orthophosphate or sodium hemiphosphate, is often generated in situ from monosodium phosphate and phosphoric acid in these types of formulations. Mixtures of mono- and disodium phosphates are used in textile processing, food manufacture, and other industries to control pH at 4—9. Monosodium phosphate is also used in boiler-water treatment, as a precipitant for polyvalent metal ions, and as an animal-feed supplement. 

In 1980, approximately 111,000 t of synthetic organic dyestuffs were produced in the United States alone. In addition, another 13,000 t were imported. The largest consumer of these dyes is the textile industry accounting for two-thirds of the market (246). Recent estimates indicate 12% of the synthetic textile dyes used yearly are lost to waste streams during dyestuff manufacturing and textile processing operations. Approximately 20% of these losses enter the environment through effluents from wastewater treatment plants (3).

As will have become apparent, nickel and corrosion-resistant nickel alloys have wide ranges of application, particularly in industries where strongly acidic, strongly alkaline or strongly saline environments are encountered. Table 4.29 lists some of the more important applications in those industries where these conditions most frequently arise, i.e. in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, nuclear and conventional power generating, textile, paper, marine, desalination and food processing industries. The list is by no means exhaustive and there are many other applications of a similar nature in these and other industries. The table should, nevertheless, serve... 

In many process industries, food factories, meat packing plants, textiles plants, commercial laundries and other facilities, wide load swings are the norm rather than the exception, so that maintaining adequate steam purity is often very difficult.

The organic chemical industry, the food processing industry, the pulp and paper industry, the textile industry, and the petroleum industry are important industries that produce organic process wastes. Unlike inorganic process wastes, they contain dissolved and insoluble matter in the main wastewater stream thus, they are more difficult to handle for disposal. They have its characteristic biological problems and spontaneous interaction with the surrounding environment, particularly, under high solar radiation. 

In industry, radiation is applied both as an initiator and as a control mechanism on one hand, and as a sustainer of reactions on the other. Among the many industrial uses of radiation, one may mention food preservation, curing of paints, manufacture of wood-plastic combinations, syntheses of ethyl bromide, of ion exchange materials, of various graft copolymers, and of materials for textile finishing. In addition, there are important uses of tracers in various process industries and in mining and metallurgy.
