In order to solve the problem of high energy consumption and high pollution in traditional alkali desizing process of cotton fabric, atmospheric pressure low temperature plasma was used to treat pure cotton fabric containing sizing. Through single factor variable experiment, the optimum desizing process was determined. The optimum process conditions were as follows: the optimum treatment power of plasma is 400 W, the optimum treatment time is 15 min, the distance between discharge electrode and grey cloth is 1 mm, the optimum alkali boiling concentration is 8 g/L. Compared to traditional desizing process, the usage of caustic soda was saved by 60%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
