Abstract:An apparatus is described for providing controlled mechanical agitation of chopped fibre in detergent liquors on a laboratory scale, employing relatively low liquor: fibre ratios. Thermostatic tenipertlt are control is provided, and by means of calibration graphs, temperature‐time conditions can be selected to follow industrial practice. An estimate is given of the accuracy of speed and temperature control.
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.
