Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Abstract Textile industries are focusing on minimizing their production costs by using sustainable technologies and by inventing new methods. Pretreatment is the heart of textile wet processing. Most of the Textile Companies are using combined pretreatment process with exhaust and semi-continuous method. After the treatment is over, the bath with residual chemicals are drained out into effluent treatment plant. In this study, an attempt has been made to reuse the residual chemicals by replenishing the measured amounts of chemicals again for combined pretreatment process. The concentration of the main chemicals, after pretreatment, before draining was analyzed and quantified. In case of pretreatment process in a Jigger machine, the liquor is drained out after three turns (6 ends) with residual chemicals, then the concentrations of H2O2 and NaOH was assessed in that. In case of pad-roll bleaching, the fabric roll is ...

Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Abstract Due to the special luster, good air permeability and moisture permeability, comfortable wearing, delicate and smooth feel, silk fiber is wildly used in textiles. Recently, with the careful study of the composition, microstructure and physicochemical properties of silk, the application of silk has gradually extended to food, biomedicine, industrial raw materials, environmental protection and other fields. This paper gives one short introduction of silk’s application in tissue engineering. Keywords:  Silk worm; Silk fiber; Silk fibroin; Tissue engineering Go to Introduction Silk industry is an important support of national economy in China. Recently, silk is affected by reduction of farmland, shortage of labor, and low added value of the products. Developing the versatile silk industry and increasing the added value of silk are the ways to achieve the transformation, upgrading and sustainabl...

Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Abstract With textile wastewater being one of the most sources of pollution containing higher value of colour, BOD, COD and several pollutants, brings serious problem to the ecological environment. This study is particularly focused on evaluating the efficacy of removal of dyes such as reactive dyes, direct dyes, mixture of dye wastes and mixture of industrial and dye wastewaters by the natural absorbent Moringa. The seeds of the Moringa tree contain a coagulant protein that can be used in the treatment of industrial wastewater. The extracts of seeds (coagulant) obtained by two methods viz. simple extraction with distilled water and with saline water have been used for the study. The effect of some operating parameters on coagulation namely pH, coagulant dosage, mixing time, colour removal and turbidity was studied. It was observed that the colour removals in direct red and reactive red dyes are 94.45 and 98.4% respec...
