Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of dyeing and finishing of textile fabrics, and more particularly relates to a high-whiteness bleaching process for cotton fabrics, cotton fabrics prepared by the process and applications thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bleaching process is a very important step in the production of white full-cotton knitted fabrics and full-cotton towels, and directly determines the quality of the products such as white full-cotton knitted fabrics and full-cotton towels. With the market share of white full-cotton knitted fabrics and full-cotton towels gradually reaching more than 20%, the improvement of the bleaching process becomes increasingly important.

[0003] In order to achieve higher whiteness, sodium silicate is often used as a stabilizer in the bleaching process, and the treatment temperature is even as high as 110°C. Although this treatment can increase the whiteness, the cylinder is prone to produce silicon scale during the bleaching process, which causes difficulty in cleaning. The high treatment temperature also increases the energy consumption, and the breaking strength and weight loss rate of the prepared product are also increased. As mentioned in patent CN 112195645 B, the conventional hydrogen peroxide high-temperature alkaline bleaching process has defects such as large damage to fabric strength. In the patent, a new type of hydrogen peroxide cold pad-batch bleaching process is disclosed. This method can avoid strength damage, but the whiteness can only reach about 83. Therefore, how to improve the bleaching effect of the conventional hydrogen peroxide high-temperature alkaline bleaching process is still very important. Some technologies propose to use a two-time oxygen bleaching process or a process flow of first reduction bleaching and then oxygen bleaching. The former also has problems of large strength loss and weight loss, while the latter mainly has defects of long process time, large process difficulty and large risk coefficient. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the defects such as difficult further improvement of the bleaching effect of the hydrogen peroxide high-temperature alkaline bleaching process used in the production of white full-cotton knitted fabrics and full-cotton towels and the complexity of the process flow of other improved hydrogen peroxide high-temperature alkaline bleaching processes in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a high-whiteness bleaching process for cotton fabrics, cotton fabrics prepared by the process and applications thereof. The whiteness of the pure cotton fabric prepared by the bleaching process reaches 150 or more under specific pretreatment conditions, and the weight loss rate is controlled within 5%. Moreover, the bleaching process of the present application is a one-step bleaching process under the premise of using a silicon-free stabilizer at a temperature below 100°C.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0020] Figure 1 is a flow chart of the cotton fabric high-whiteness bleaching process provided by the embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the present application.

[0022] If a specific technique or condition is not specified in the examples, the technique or condition described in the literature in the art or according to the product manual is used. If the manufacturer of the reagent or instrument is not specified, it is a conventional product that can be purchased through a regular channel.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1 According to one aspect of the present application, a high-whiteness bleaching process for cotton fabric is provided, which specifically comprises: pretreating the cotton fabric with a scouring agent and an organic acid complexing agent to remove metal ions in the cotton fabric fibers, thereby preparing for the effective decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the next step; and then performing one-step bleaching and whitening bath on the pretreated fabric under ≤100℃ and alkaline conditions with hydrogen peroxide as the bleaching agent, which can achieve high-whiteness bleaching of the cotton fabric while minimizing the damage to the fibers caused by bleaching, and effectively reduce the processing temperature of the bleaching and whitening bath to achieve energy saving.

[0024] It is found in the experiments of the present application that the metal ions in the treatment liquid have a very important influence on the bleaching effect in the bleaching process for white cotton knitted fabric and cotton towel. When the content of metal ions is too high, not only the bleaching effective components used in the bleaching process cannot fully play their roles, but also a large amount of silicon scale will be generated in the cylinder due to the use of sodium silicate and other silicon-containing stabilizers. In actual production, metal ions cannot be completely removed. Therefore, through a large number of comparative experimental studies, it is found that when the scouring agent and the organic acid complexing agent are simultaneously added in the pretreatment stage, the bleaching and whitening of the white cotton knitted fabric and cotton towel can be achieved using no silicon stabilizer and a bleaching treatment temperature significantly lower than that of the prior art, and the whiteness value reaches above 150. At the same time, the strength damage and weight loss rate of the cotton fabric are effectively controlled by the synergistic effect of the scouring agent and the organic acid complexing agent. More importantly, the bleaching process flow of the present application is greatly simplified compared with the traditional two-step oxygen bleaching or the process flow of first reduction bleaching and then oxygen bleaching, and the improvement of the bleaching process for white cotton knitted fabric and cotton towel has great significance.

[0025] In addition, if the organic acid complexing agent in the present application is replaced by an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid or acetic acid, the performance of the cotton fabric will be reduced because the cotton fabric is extremely unstable under the conditions of inorganic acid and heat. The acid can cause the cellulose macromolecules to break and hydrolyze, resulting in a significant decrease in fiber strength, and also poses a great safety hazard to actual operation.

[0026] Further, the cotton fabric is treated by hot water bath and then washed after adding the refining agent and the organic acid complexing agent in a mass ratio of 0.2-0.7:1-5. It is found in the experiment that when the mass ratio of the refining agent and the organic acid complexing agent is 0.2-0.7:1-5, the synergistic effect of the two is the best. If the adding amount of the refining agent is too low, the grey fabric cannot be fully wetted, the difficulty of the organic acid complexing agent entering the cotton fabric is increased, and the complexation of the metal ions is weakened. With the increase of the content of the refining agent, the capillary effect of the cotton fabric is improved to a certain extent. If the adding amount of the refining agent is too high, the refining agent is attached to the surface of the cotton fabric in a large amount, which also increases the difficulty of the organic acid complexing agent entering the cotton fabric, is not conducive to the play of the organic acid complexing agent, and is also not conducive to the subsequent sewage treatment process. It is also found that when the refining agent is a non-ionic surfactant compound, a higher whiteness can be achieved with the least adding amount of the refining agent.

[0027] Further, the concentration of the organic acid complexing agent in the hot water bath is 1-5 g / L. The organic acid complexing agent has a strong removal capacity for metal ions such as iron, calcium and magnesium on the cotton fabric. When the concentration is controlled to be 1-5 g / L, the cotton fabric can achieve the best bleaching effect in one-step bleaching and whitening bath treatment.

[0028] Further, the cotton fabric is first added into the treatment liquid containing the refining agent and the organic acid complexing agent at a bath ratio of 1:8-1:15 and a temperature of 20-30 DEG C, then heated to 60-80 DEG C at a speed of 3-7 DEG C / min for 20-30 min, drained, and washed at 60-80 DEG C.

[0029] The staged heating method can also be used to promote the pretreatment effect of the refining agent and the organic acid complexing agent on the cotton fabric. Specifically, the cotton fabric is first added into the treatment liquid containing the refining agent and the organic acid complexing agent at a bath ratio of 1:8-1:15 and a temperature of 20-30 DEG C, then heated to 60-70 DEG C at a speed of 5-7 DEG C / min for 5-15 min, then heated to 70-80 DEG C at a speed of 3-5 DEG C / min for 15-25 min, drained, and washed at 60-80 DEG C.

[0030] Further, when the refining agent is the refining agent TF-129HL of Transfar Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., the performance of the cotton fabric is better; and when the organic acid complexing agent is the refining agent TF-510K of Transfar Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., the performance of the cotton fabric is better.

[0031] Further, the one-step bleaching and whitening bath treatment comprises the following steps: firstly, the pretreated cotton fabric is added into a bleaching treatment solution containing scouring agent, silicon-free stabilizer and caustic soda at a bath ratio of 1:8-1:15 and a temperature of 20-30 DEG C, and runs for 5-10 min; then hydrogen peroxide is added into the bleaching treatment solution and runs for 5-10 min; then a whitening agent is continuously added into the bleaching treatment solution and the temperature is raised to 98-100 DEG C at a speed of 5-10 DEG C / min and is kept for 45-60 min; then the temperature is lowered to 60-80 DEG C at a speed of 3-5 DEG C / min and the solution is discharged; finally, the cotton fabric is washed.

[0032] In the experiment, it is found that, compared with the shade lightening agent, the white lightening agent (such as the whitening agent CPD) must require that the bottom white of the cotton fabric reaches 85 or above during bleaching in order to achieve a whiteness of 150 or above, and it is very difficult to achieve a bleaching whiteness of 85, while the pretreatment of the cotton fabric according to the present application can make the bleaching whiteness of the pretreated cotton fabric reach 85, and the use of the white lightening agent can achieve a bleaching effect with a final whiteness of 150 or above.

[0033] Further, the concentration of each additive in the cotton fabric high-whiteness bleaching process is optimized, wherein the concentration of the scouring agent is 0.2-0.7 g / L, the concentration of the silicon-free stabilizer is 0.2-0.4 g / L, the amount of the caustic soda added is 2-2.5 g / L, the amount of the whitening agent added is 0.1-0.3% (o.w.f), the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution is 25-35%, and the amount of the hydrogen peroxide solution added is 15-25 g / L.

[0034] Further, the cotton fabric is pure cotton knitted fabric or pure cotton towel fabric, and preferably, the cotton fabric is pure cotton knitted fabric.

[0035] According to another aspect of the present application, a cotton fabric prepared by using the cotton fabric high-whiteness bleaching process is provided, and the whiteness of the cotton fabric reaches 150 or above.

[0036] According to still another aspect of the present application, the cotton fabric is used, which can be directly used as a finished product by a customer or can be used after functional finishing, and the cotton fabric is generally used for producing pure cotton T-shirt, pure cotton towel and pure cotton bath towel.

[0037] The technical solutions provided by the present application are further described below according to specific embodiments.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the pure cotton knitted fabric to be treated is cotton fabric, the specification is 32S, and the gram weight is 180-190 g / m2 The pure cotton towel fabric to be treated is a pure cotton towel fabric.

[0039] The scouring agent TF-129HL, the mineral removal agent TF-510K and the whitening agent CPD in the embodiment of the application are all purchased from the company of Chuanhua Zhilian Co., Ltd.

[0040] The testing instrument for whiteness in the embodiment of the application is a colorimeter X-rite 7600, and CIE whiteness data is selected.

[0041] The calculation method of weight loss in the embodiment of the application is as follows: the initial mass of the cotton fabric after 24 hours of constant temperature and humidity before treatment is denoted as m0, the mass of the bleached cotton fabric after drying and 24 hours of constant temperature and humidity after bleaching is denoted as m1, and the calculation formula of weight loss is weight loss = (m0-m1) / m0*100%.
