Synthesis of a Novel and More Sustainable Cationic Bleach Activator, N-[4-(N,N,N)-Triethylammoniumchloride-butanoyl] Butyrolactam, for Cotton: Optimization and Theoretical Limitations
Abstract:Activated bleach systems have the potential to produce more efficient kinetically potent bleaching systems through increased oxidation rates with reduced energy cost and less time, hence causing less cellulose polymer chain damage or degradation than conventional hot peroxide bleaching. This article presents a study at the molecular level of a novel and more sustainable cationic bleach activator for cotton than aromatic-based cationic bleach activators using combined experimental and first-principles density f… Show more
“…It has not only high energy consumption but also a great impact on the strength and handling of the cotton fabric. 24,25 To solve this problem, it is key to exploit a new catalyst system that can rapidly transfer hydrogen peroxide into highly reactive radicals at low temperatures. There have been some activators reported, such as the amide compound tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), 26,27 (N-[4-triethylammoniomethyl]-benzoyl) caprolactam chloride (TBCC) and its analogues, phthalic anhydride compounds and metal complexes.…”
Among the biomass processing techniques, ionic liquid (IL) is found to be more efficient and environmental friendly, especially in terms of lignin and cellulose dissolution. However, designing IL molecules and...
