| Abstract: | Sequential removal of wax, water-soluble substances, pectin, hemicellulose and lignin afforded a fabric that mainly contained cellulose along with very small amount of non-cellulosic constituents. The whiteness index of the resultant fabric (59.4) was set as a target for commercial production of bleached linen fabrics and was well achieved by appropriate selection of scouring formulation at pre-bleaching stage and by proper manipulation of bleaching sequences. The durability parameters could be maintained at a satisfactory level by controlled defibrillation of the filaments and optimum retention of the non-cellulosic constituents. The entire chemical process was monitored using a Cambridge SEM (Stereoscan 250) and 250-30 Hitachi Spectrophotometer. |
