A. M. K. Bahrum Prang Rocky Abstract-This study attempted to evaluate the eco-friendly bio-scouring and the conventional chemical (mainly NaOH) scouring processes of cotton & comparison between the effectiveness of both types of scouring process on cotton fibres and fabrics in the Textile industries. Less developed countries, like Bangladesh, do not set strict rules and regulations to discharge...

E-textile technology is rapidly progressing, allowing for the development of truly wearable computers as well as very large-scale computing textiles. Efficient development of applications on etextiles will require significant software services support. This paper analyzes two representative e-textile applications for their software service requirements. Based on this analysis, three services pa...

In this paper, we propose a new visual inspection method of defect detection on textile surfaces; selectively removing the textural information from textile surfaces. For this purpose we use Wavelet Shrinkage, which was originally proposed by Donoho & Johnstone as a method to remove Gaussian white noise. We also propose a modification of Wavelet Shrinkage to selectively remove textural informat...

In this paper, we propose a new method for visual inspection of textile surfaces; selectively removing the intensity variations caused by textures on textile surfaces. For this purpose we use Wavelet Shrinkage, which was originally proposed by Donoho & Johnstone as a method to remove Gaussian white noise. We also propose a modification of Wavelet Shrinkage to selectively remove the intensity va...

Eco-friendly wet processings of textiles are major concerns of textile producers nowadays to attain high quality products without diversely affecting the environment quality and the enduser health1. Enzymatic processing of textile offers many advantages when compared to traditional chemical methods, namely, enzymes use significantly less water, less energy, and fewer chemicals than traditional ...

Magnesium chloride, though cost wise roughly same as of ferrous sulphate, is less commonly used coagulant in comparison to the ferrous sulphate for the treatment of wastewater. The present study was conducted to investigate the comparative effectiveness of ferrous sulphate (FeSO4.7H2O) as iron based salt and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) as magnesium based salt in terms of decolorization and chemi...

In Rajasthan 21,000 workers are engaged in hand processing textile industries (process gray/raw cotton cloth). They are exposed to hazards of the textile industries besides the harsh conditions of the desert which contributes to adverse effects on their health. To explore the occupational health problems of the desert textile workers and their association with nutrition and environmental factor...
