BLEACHING
3/5/2020 2
Cotton fiber is contaminated with coloring matters.
Causes for discoloration:
 Related to the pigment of the cotton flower
 Growth conditions can cause various degrees of yellowness
 Tips of leaves coming in contact with the moist boll
 Contamination from processing machines
INTRODUCTION
3/5/2020 3
Coloring matter
 Color pigments present are
 3,5,7,2’, 4’ Penta hydroxy flavone (Morrin)
 3,5,7,8,3’,4’ Hexa hydroxy flavone (Gossypetine)
3/5/2020 4
The discoloration is undesirable
 Reduces visual aesthetics & impair successful coloration
The process for removal of unwanted color
from textile substrates and brightening them
is known as BLEACHING.

TYPES OF BLEACHING
 Chemical bleaching
 Physical bleaching
 Chemical bleaching involves use of oxidizing and reducing
agents for breakdown of the coloring matters easing their removal.
 Physical bleaching is the process of enhancement of brightness of
textiles by introduction of optical brighteners without
involvement of any chemical breakdown .

CHEMICAL BLEACHING
Oxidative bleaching of cotton
 Hydrogen peroxide [H2O2]
 Sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl]
 Sodium chlorite [NaClO2]

PEROXIDE BLEACHING
 Peroxide bleaching is carried out using hydrogen
peroxide [H2O2] as the oxidizing agent.
 The active bleaching specie is obtained from
ionization of hydrogen peroxide.
PERHYDROXYL ION [HOO-]
3/5/2020
Rapid decomposition of H2O2 in bleaching
baths causes fiber damage
Peroxide decomposition is Catalyzed by metal impurities
3/5/2020 10
Metals increase peroxide decomposition
 The Strength of Commercial Hydrogen Peroxide is expressed in
terms of the volume of Oxygen liberated by a Unit of Volume of
H2O2 Solution.
 Thus a 10-volume Peroxide Solution: Means 1Ml of H2O2 is
capable of liberating 10 Ml of Oxygen.
 Hydrogen Peroxide is Generally Available 10, 20, 100 and 130
Volume Strength or it can expressed in %.
11
% H2O2 Concentration/strength
3/5/2020
Factors Affecting Peroxide Bleaching
 Effect of pH: Perhydroxyl ion is desired bleaching specie, adding
caustic soda neutralizes proton and shifts the reaction to the right.
pH Active species Effect
10 Hydrogen peroxide No bleaching
10.2 – 10.7 Perhydroxyl ion Optimum bleaching
> 11 Perhyroxyl ion & oxygen gas Out of control
3/5/2020 12
Effect of temperature/time:
 Stabilized hydrogen peroxide does not decompose at high temperature, so
Bleaching is carried out at high temperature [90 – 100 C].
 Bleaching time depends on temperature used in bleaching.
% H2O2 Concentration
Chemicals used Concentration (%)
Hydrogen peroxide (35%) 3 - 5
Caustic soda 0.3 - 0.8
Sodium carbonate 0.6 - 0.1
Sodium silicate 2 - 3
Magnesium sulphate 0.5
Wetting agent + Sequestering agent (EDTA) 0.1 - 0.5
3/5/2020 13
Typical recipe for batch process
RECIPE FOR CONTINUOUS PROCESSING
A typical recipe for a wet on wet bleaching using
Hydrogen Peroxide 35% 30-40 ml/l
Sodium Silicate or 10 g/l
Organic Stabilizer 10 g/l
Sodium Hydroxide 3 g/l
Wetting Agent 1-2 g/1
Liquor Pick-up 100%
Sequence: Pad-steam for 1 hr at about 95°C. (J-Box)
In Case of Roller Steamer , Steaming is Carried Out For 30-50 Min. at 102
Deg C
 Concentration of the reactants and the time of treatment may vary according to the
degree of impurities and quality of whiteness required.
 In semi-continuous pad-roll process, the time of steaming is usually 1 to 2 hours.
 Wet on wet treatment means wet fabric (after squeezing to remove excess water) from
previous is used.

Effect of stabilizers:
 Peroxide bleaching of cotton is carried out at high
temperature in the presence of alkali.
To control the rate of decomposition of hydrogen
peroxide in the bleach bath stabilizers are added.
 Provide buffering action to control the pH /alkalinity
 Complex with trace metals which catalyze peroxide decomposition
3/5/2020
16
INORGANIC STABILIZER (SODIUM SILICATE)
 Sodium silicate forms complex compound with perhydroxyl ions
which are liberated slowly at higher temperature during bleaching
process.
 Stabilization by silicates is enhanced by the presence of
magnesium ions.
 Sodium silicate and magnesium ions form colloids, which act as
buffers.
 Silicate deposition on equipment and on substrate
 Abrasion and harsh feel
3/5/2020
17
Organic stabilizers:
 Operate as sequesterants to complex with
polyvalent metal ions which catalyze peroxide
decomposition and disturb bleach bath stability.
Example: Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid [ EDTA]
3/5/2020
HYPOCHLORITE BLEACHING [NaOCl]
 Reactions in bleaching solutions with NaOCl
 Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is active bleaching specie.
 Factors that affect hypochlorite bleaching:
 Bleach bath pH
 Temperature/time
 Concentration (available chlorine)
3/5/2020 18
pH Active species Effect
>11 OCl- with minimal HOCl No bleaching
5- 8.5 HOCl Rapid bleaching and fiber degradation
< 5 Chlorine gas No bleaching
9 - 11 Optimum HOCl Optimal bleaching without fiber degradation
Generally bleaching of cotton is carried out with 1-3g/1 available
chlorine at a pH of 9 –10 at about 400C for 1 h.
Fabrics bleached with hypochlorite will develop a distinctive chlorine odor
(removed with an aftertreatment [ANTICHLOR]): Treatment in a bath
containing sodium bisulfite and acetic acid.
3/5/2020
19
CHLORITE BLEACHING [NaClO2]
 Reactions in bleaching solutions with NaClO2
HClO2 (chlorous acid) --- active bleaching species in
chlorite bleaching with NaClO2
 Similar factors in hypochlorite bleaching affect chlorite bleaching process.
 Bleach bath pH
 Temperature/time
 Concentration (available chlorine)
3/5/2020 20
pH Active species Effect
Below 3 HClO2 at maximum Damage to cotton fiber (hydrolysis)
3 – 5 HClO2 at optimum Optimum for bleaching [3.5 – 4.5]
> 5 ClO2
- No bleaching (no active bleaching specie)
 Little or no bleaching takes place at temperatures below 50
0C,however the bleaching rate increases considerably up to
90 0C.
 Generally bleaching of cotton is carried out with
2.5-5g/1 available chlorine at 80 – 900C for 1/2 h.

PROBLEM WITH OXIDATIVE BLEACHING
FORMATION OF OXYCELLULOSE RESULTING FIBER DAMAGE
3/5/2020 22
 Hydrogen peroxide is the most widely used bleaching agent from
the point of view of obtaining high degree of whiteness.
 Problem with regard to fiber damage particularly in the presence
of metal ions.
 There is a limited use of chlorine based bleaches nowadays mainly
due to formation of high toxic chlorinated compounds.
 Reductive bleaching using reducing agents [SO2 and
hydrosulphite]
 No permanent white when fabric is exposed to oxygen in the air.
3/5/2020 23
PHYSICAL BLEACHING
 After chemical bleaching textiles do not appear perfectly
white.
 Trial to increase degree of whiteness by chemical bleaching can
result over-bleaching and fiber degradation.
 Certain organic compounds in their presence in textiles
increase brightness of textiles without chemical degradation of
impurities.
 Compensating the yellow coloration of the textile materials;
increasing the total amount of light reflected from the textile
surface.
3/5/2020 24
BRIGHTENING MECHANISM
 Absorption of light in shorter wave lengths (300 -
400nm) (UV range) & re-emission in longer visible
wavelengths (400 - 500nm) (bluer range).
 FLUORESCENCE
 The ultimate effect is increasing total amount of light reflected &
increase the brightness/degree of whiteness.
OPTICAL/FLUORESCENT BRIGHTENING AGENTS
3/5/2020 25
26
Most widely used OBA’s:
Stilbene derivatives [diaminostilbenedisulphonic acid]
Like dyes their affinity for different fibers is different
 Anionic type optical brighteners are used in brightening of
cotton.
 Exhaustion is controlled by adjustment of proper temperature,
pH and addition of electrolytes (NaCl).
3/5/2020
PH = Neutral
Temperature = 40 -60°C
Time = 1hr
OBA concentration = 0.1-1%
Salt concentration = 1%
TEST FOR BLEACHING
DEGREE OF WHITENESS
 Yellow impurities adsorb blue light
 Measurement of the amount of blue light reflected by the goods,
against a white standard
 The standard ceramic tile is measured and set to equal
100.
 The other specimen are rated against this standard.
CERAMIC TILE
3/5/2020 27
FLUIDITY MEASUREMENT
 Damaged cellulose has low molecular weight than undamaged
cellulose.
 Solutions from undamaged fibers are less fluid than from damaged
fibers.
 Fluidity is measured by dissolving cotton in cupriethylene
diamine hydroxide and determining the solution's viscosity.
 High fluidity results low viscosity and indicates the extent of
bleaching.

  • 1. 1 1 BLEACHING PROCESS OF COTTON FABRIC LECTURE - 5 By Robel L. Faculty of Textile and Fashion Technology Aksum University 2020 3/5/2020
  • 3. Cotton fiber is contaminated with coloring matters. Causes for discoloration:  Related to the pigment of the cotton flower  Growth conditions can cause various degrees of yellowness  Tips of leaves coming in contact with the moist boll  Contamination from processing machines INTRODUCTION 3/5/2020 3
  • 4. Coloring matter  Color pigments present are  3,5,7,2’, 4’ Penta hydroxy flavone (Morrin)  3,5,7,8,3’,4’ Hexa hydroxy flavone (Gossypetine) 3/5/2020 4
  • 5. The discoloration is undesirable  Reduces visual aesthetics & impair successful coloration The process for removal of unwanted color from textile substrates and brightening them is known as BLEACHING. WHITENESS 3/5/2020 5
  • 6. TYPES OF BLEACHING  Chemical bleaching  Physical bleaching  Chemical bleaching involves use of oxidizing and reducing agents for breakdown of the coloring matters easing their removal.  Physical bleaching is the process of enhancement of brightness of textiles by introduction of optical brighteners without involvement of any chemical breakdown . Destruction of double bonds in conjugated system 3/5/2020 6
  • 7. CLASSIFICATION OF CHEMICAL BLEACHING AGENTS 7 3/5/2020
  • 8. 8 CHEMICAL BLEACHING Oxidative bleaching of cotton  Hydrogen peroxide [H2O2]  Sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl]  Sodium chlorite [NaClO2] 3/5/2020
  • 9. 9 PEROXIDE BLEACHING  Peroxide bleaching is carried out using hydrogen peroxide [H2O2] as the oxidizing agent.  The active bleaching specie is obtained from ionization of hydrogen peroxide. PERHYDROXYL ION [HOO-] 3/5/2020
  • 10. Rapid decomposition of H2O2 in bleaching baths causes fiber damage Peroxide decomposition is Catalyzed by metal impurities 3/5/2020 10 Metals increase peroxide decomposition
  • 11.  The Strength of Commercial Hydrogen Peroxide is expressed in terms of the volume of Oxygen liberated by a Unit of Volume of H2O2 Solution.  Thus a 10-volume Peroxide Solution: Means 1Ml of H2O2 is capable of liberating 10 Ml of Oxygen.  Hydrogen Peroxide is Generally Available 10, 20, 100 and 130 Volume Strength or it can expressed in %. 11 % H2O2 Concentration/strength 3/5/2020
  • 12. Factors Affecting Peroxide Bleaching  Effect of pH: Perhydroxyl ion is desired bleaching specie, adding caustic soda neutralizes proton and shifts the reaction to the right. pH Active species Effect 10 Hydrogen peroxide No bleaching 10.2 – 10.7 Perhydroxyl ion Optimum bleaching > 11 Perhyroxyl ion & oxygen gas Out of control 3/5/2020 12
  • 13. Effect of temperature/time:  Stabilized hydrogen peroxide does not decompose at high temperature, so Bleaching is carried out at high temperature [90 – 100 C].  Bleaching time depends on temperature used in bleaching. % H2O2 Concentration Chemicals used Concentration (%) Hydrogen peroxide (35%) 3 - 5 Caustic soda 0.3 - 0.8 Sodium carbonate 0.6 - 0.1 Sodium silicate 2 - 3 Magnesium sulphate 0.5 Wetting agent + Sequestering agent (EDTA) 0.1 - 0.5 3/5/2020 13 Typical recipe for batch process
  • 14. RECIPE FOR CONTINUOUS PROCESSING A typical recipe for a wet on wet bleaching using Hydrogen Peroxide 35% 30-40 ml/l Sodium Silicate or 10 g/l Organic Stabilizer 10 g/l Sodium Hydroxide 3 g/l Wetting Agent 1-2 g/1 Liquor Pick-up 100% Sequence: Pad-steam for 1 hr at about 95°C. (J-Box) In Case of Roller Steamer , Steaming is Carried Out For 30-50 Min. at 102 Deg C  Concentration of the reactants and the time of treatment may vary according to the degree of impurities and quality of whiteness required.  In semi-continuous pad-roll process, the time of steaming is usually 1 to 2 hours.  Wet on wet treatment means wet fabric (after squeezing to remove excess water) from previous is used. 14 3/5/2020
  • 15. 15 Effect of stabilizers:  Peroxide bleaching of cotton is carried out at high temperature in the presence of alkali. To control the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the bleach bath stabilizers are added.  Provide buffering action to control the pH /alkalinity  Complex with trace metals which catalyze peroxide decomposition 3/5/2020
  • 16. 16 INORGANIC STABILIZER (SODIUM SILICATE)  Sodium silicate forms complex compound with perhydroxyl ions which are liberated slowly at higher temperature during bleaching process.  Stabilization by silicates is enhanced by the presence of magnesium ions.  Sodium silicate and magnesium ions form colloids, which act as buffers.  Silicate deposition on equipment and on substrate  Abrasion and harsh feel 3/5/2020
  • 17. 17 Organic stabilizers:  Operate as sequesterants to complex with polyvalent metal ions which catalyze peroxide decomposition and disturb bleach bath stability. Example: Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid [ EDTA] 3/5/2020
  • 18. HYPOCHLORITE BLEACHING [NaOCl]  Reactions in bleaching solutions with NaOCl  Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is active bleaching specie.  Factors that affect hypochlorite bleaching:  Bleach bath pH  Temperature/time  Concentration (available chlorine) 3/5/2020 18
  • 19. pH Active species Effect >11 OCl- with minimal HOCl No bleaching 5- 8.5 HOCl Rapid bleaching and fiber degradation < 5 Chlorine gas No bleaching 9 - 11 Optimum HOCl Optimal bleaching without fiber degradation Generally bleaching of cotton is carried out with 1-3g/1 available chlorine at a pH of 9 –10 at about 400C for 1 h. Fabrics bleached with hypochlorite will develop a distinctive chlorine odor (removed with an aftertreatment [ANTICHLOR]): Treatment in a bath containing sodium bisulfite and acetic acid. 3/5/2020 19
  • 20. CHLORITE BLEACHING [NaClO2]  Reactions in bleaching solutions with NaClO2 HClO2 (chlorous acid) --- active bleaching species in chlorite bleaching with NaClO2  Similar factors in hypochlorite bleaching affect chlorite bleaching process.  Bleach bath pH  Temperature/time  Concentration (available chlorine) 3/5/2020 20
  • 21. pH Active species Effect Below 3 HClO2 at maximum Damage to cotton fiber (hydrolysis) 3 – 5 HClO2 at optimum Optimum for bleaching [3.5 – 4.5] > 5 ClO2 - No bleaching (no active bleaching specie)  Little or no bleaching takes place at temperatures below 50 0C,however the bleaching rate increases considerably up to 90 0C.  Generally bleaching of cotton is carried out with 2.5-5g/1 available chlorine at 80 – 900C for 1/2 h. 3/5/2020 21
  • 22. PROBLEM WITH OXIDATIVE BLEACHING FORMATION OF OXYCELLULOSE RESULTING FIBER DAMAGE 3/5/2020 22
  • 23.  Hydrogen peroxide is the most widely used bleaching agent from the point of view of obtaining high degree of whiteness.  Problem with regard to fiber damage particularly in the presence of metal ions.  There is a limited use of chlorine based bleaches nowadays mainly due to formation of high toxic chlorinated compounds.  Reductive bleaching using reducing agents [SO2 and hydrosulphite]  No permanent white when fabric is exposed to oxygen in the air. 3/5/2020 23
  • 24. PHYSICAL BLEACHING  After chemical bleaching textiles do not appear perfectly white.  Trial to increase degree of whiteness by chemical bleaching can result over-bleaching and fiber degradation.  Certain organic compounds in their presence in textiles increase brightness of textiles without chemical degradation of impurities.  Compensating the yellow coloration of the textile materials; increasing the total amount of light reflected from the textile surface. 3/5/2020 24
  • 25. BRIGHTENING MECHANISM  Absorption of light in shorter wave lengths (300 - 400nm) (UV range) & re-emission in longer visible wavelengths (400 - 500nm) (bluer range).  FLUORESCENCE  The ultimate effect is increasing total amount of light reflected & increase the brightness/degree of whiteness. OPTICAL/FLUORESCENT BRIGHTENING AGENTS 3/5/2020 25
  • 26. 26 Most widely used OBA’s: Stilbene derivatives [diaminostilbenedisulphonic acid] Like dyes their affinity for different fibers is different  Anionic type optical brighteners are used in brightening of cotton.  Exhaustion is controlled by adjustment of proper temperature, pH and addition of electrolytes (NaCl). 3/5/2020 PH = Neutral Temperature = 40 -60°C Time = 1hr OBA concentration = 0.1-1% Salt concentration = 1%
  • 27. TEST FOR BLEACHING DEGREE OF WHITENESS  Yellow impurities adsorb blue light  Measurement of the amount of blue light reflected by the goods, against a white standard  The standard ceramic tile is measured and set to equal 100.  The other specimen are rated against this standard. CERAMIC TILE 3/5/2020 27
  • 28. FLUIDITY MEASUREMENT  Damaged cellulose has low molecular weight than undamaged cellulose.  Solutions from undamaged fibers are less fluid than from damaged fibers.  Fluidity is measured by dissolving cotton in cupriethylene diamine hydroxide and determining the solution's viscosity.  High fluidity results low viscosity and indicates the extent of bleaching. 3/5/2020 28
