The textile dyeing industry consumes large quantities of water and produces large volumes of wastewater from different steps in the dyeing and finishing processes. Wastewater from printing and dyeing units is often rich in color, containing residues of reactive dyes and chemicals, and requires proper treatment before being released into the environment. The toxic effects of dyestuffs and other ...

Vacuum slot extraction is becoming more popular In textile wet processing because of its energy efficiency and other economic benefits. The baric princlples of vacuum slot extraction are reviewed. The function of the components of a vacuum extractor and the mechanism of liquid removal from the fabric are discussed. The effects of the most important variables controlling the final water content ...

In this paper, the results of an experimental study on textile thermal drying after wet processing pretreatments are presented. The mass variation of the studied samples as a function of drying time was determined using the gravimetric method at three different temperatures: 100°C, 110°C and 120°C. A polynomial model was found and established to follow the drying phenomenon of wet textile fabri...

Background & Aims: Fungi are among the most important biological agents in air pollution. Textile factories are known as high risk places for contamination with fungal spores and metabolites. Since Yazd is one of the most important textile industry centers, this study was conducted to determine the concentration and types of airborne fungi in Yazd textile factories. Methods: A total of 235 indo...

The apparel segment of the U.S. textile industrial complex is under tremendous pressure from foreign competition. The apparel industry is trying to respond to this pressure by changing its production philosophy to accommodate the consumer demand for ever increasing style variation and retailer demands for more frequent Just-In-Time (JIT) deliveries of smaller orders. The apparel industry must b...
