1 TARIFF ARTIFICIAL STONE THAT ENABLES ECO-FRIENDLY TEXTILE WASHING AND ITS PRODUCTION. METHOD Subject and Technical Scope of the Invention 5 The invention is designed for use in textile washing systems, particularly denim washing. It relates to artificial stones. The invention is particularly more environmentally friendly than the known state of the art. It is related to artificial stones that allow for washing and the method of producing these stones. State of the Art 10 Denim garments, a popular choice in the textile industry, first appeared in the mid-19th century. It is known that it started to be produced. In America, it was initially worn by peasants and workers. Denim, or blue jeans as they are commonly known, a type of trousers, was introduced to the world in the 1950s. It has spread. Denim fabric was first produced in 1873 by the Levi Strauss & Co. company. It was developed and patented by [company name]. When it was first produced, its durability was 15. For this reason, it was preferred by miners and railroad workers. Denim pants became fashionable. Its evolution into this form began with cowboy films in the 1930s and continued with Hollywood's influence in the 1950s. It all started with his interest in trousers. Until the 1970s, denim products underwent no washing process. They were only sized. They were considered to be very durable products because they were disassembled and then sold separately. 20 However, ready-made clothing emerged due to both the need for ease of use and variety. Afterwards, various processes are applied to achieve the desired look and effects. The main processes applied to denim fabrics are dry processes (sanding, laser), grinding (rinsing, enzyme stone washing), chemical treatments (chemical spray, resin), bleaching These can be listed as (color lightening) and finally softening. Stone washing, various 25 It is one of the most frequently used methods for applying effects and color tones. The main purpose of this washing is to give denim products a worn look. Pumice stone is used in stone washing. stones are used, and these stones create an abrasive effect, lightening the color of the fabric. It gives a faded effect. 2 Pumice stones used in the denim washing industry are naturally occurring materials with a high content. 55-75% silicon oxide, 10-16% aluminum oxide, and 3-6%... These are stones containing sodium oxide. During washing, pumice stone dissolves after a while. and adheres to denim, forming a muddy-looking residue. This resulting... To remove the mud from the products, they need to be washed thoroughly with plenty of water. 5 The wastewater generated after this process falls into the category of hazardous water. It contains chemicals... It is of a nature that will harm the environment and living beings. This wastewater is passed through a treatment system. and is cleaned with the help of human labor. The relevant processes require a large amount of electricity and water. In addition to energy consumption, manpower is also needed. The sector requires employees to carry out the processes. The chemical waste they were exposed to during the process had effects that could lead to death. 10 It is able to create. In the known state of the art, textiles are the subject of Turkish patent application number TR2018 / 12787. In the denim industry, products are used to give a distressed, worn effect, especially to denim. a method of using peach and nectarine pits when washing trousers The method is being discussed. 15 Chinese patent application number CN108642928 seeks to give denim a worn effect. and describes the steps involved in the process of lightening its color. The invention describes a method in which denim is washed with pumice stone inside a drum and various The process involves adding bleaching chemicals. Therefore, the wastewater is toxic. Its formation could not be prevented. 20 American patent application number US4218220 describes a method for fading the color of denim. The methods used are discussed. In the method in question, the wilting process is performed. Denim is washed in water containing various acids. The washing process... Ultimately, chemical wastewater is generated, and high amounts of material are required for the purification of denim. Water is being consumed. 25 As can be seen in the patents mentioned above, in the prior art, denims Various methods and chemical substances are used for bleaching and creating a distressed effect. It is used. However, it is made of artificial stone that does not produce wastewater and is reusable, and The production method is not mentioned. 3 Technical Problems That the Invention Aims to Solve The invention concerns artificial stones and their production method, as well as textiles produced from denim fabric. Using non-toxic and environmentally friendly materials to give products a worn and used effect. Providing an artificial stone that is free of chemicals and does not generate wastewater. is intended. 5 The subject of the invention is artificial stones, and one of the advantages of the production method is the technique. In its known state, the machine originates from the pumice stone used in the washing process. This prevents mud from accumulating inside and on the denim, thus preventing the mud from getting stuck. The benefit is that it will save water, electricity, and manpower that would be spent on cleaning. The subject of the invention is artificial stones, and another advantage of the method of their production is 10. Because the stone produced does not completely dissolve in a single long wash and has a long lifespan. The advantage is that it will not require a large amount of storage space. The invention concerns artificial stones and another advantage of its production method is that the technique is known to be different from conventional methods. the mud formed by the pumice stone in this condition is put into the machine where the washing is carried out. This will prevent the problem of damaging the machine and shortening its lifespan. 15 Figures will be used to provide a better understanding of the method described in the invention.
