The influence of solvents, in particular benzyl alcohol, on the normal processes of wool dyeing and printing is reviewed in detail. The significance of the effect and the methods of utilising it are discussed. Consideration is given to the practical and commercial aspects of solvent‐assisted techniques for dyeing and printing wool.
The economies of bleaching processes relate to the costs of chemicals, labour, plant and utilities. Their interaction with technical factors is demonstrated in three examples, one of which introduces oxidative desizing. Recent work, carried out by Interox, relating to this process is summarized.
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.
