“…Then, sodium sulfide (20, 40, 60, and 80 wt % of the wool used) was mixed with the wool sample under constant agitation for 5 min. Afterward, 3.2 g calcium oxide was added to the mixture and left at room temperature for 72 h. Finally, the mixture was filtered using Whatman filter paper and dialyzed for 72 h to purify the extracted keratin. , Henceforth, the samples extracted by this method are labeled “KCR”.…”

Sheep wool is one of the most common wastes derived from agriculture and also a great source of keratin. In this study, chemical reduction and alkali hydrolysis methods of extracting keratin from wool were studied for the purpose of reusing the waste wool, and the products were used to fabricate wet-spun hybrid fibers by mixing with PVA. The comparative yield of the two extraction methods was investigated, and the optimal precursor concentration ratio for keratin extraction was identified. The effects of keratin concentration and wet-spinning flow rate on the mechanical properties of fabricated fibers were studied. Therefore, this study encourages the further investigation of wool keratin-based hybrid biomaterials, which could provide a new way to reuse waste wool.

Ever since the Stone Age, humans have preferred natural products and materials for better health and comfortability. Wool and natural silk have been used in the textile clothing thousands of years ago. The performance and appearance attributes of wool and silk make them superior for many applications. On the other hand, the textile industries are technically, economically, socially, and environmentally related to some of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030. For instance, the item number 12 in the SDGs aims to ensure sustainable consumption and production pattern. This necessitates proper utilization of all natural products as well as recycling and utilization of any waste thereof.This article review deals with retrieval of wastes or by-products during wet processing of proteinic fibres; namely wool and silk. Different ways of proper utilization of the retrieved materials will be proposed. Specifically, this review article will focus mainly on three main by-products; namely keratinous materials, wool wax, and sericin. State of the art and future prospects for the utilization of these materials in the production of textile auxiliaries; Viz. softeners, binders, and flame-retardants, were discussed.
