Right from pretreatment to finishing several basic, auxiliary, and specialty chemicals are used during the manufacturing of textiles. There are two main processes, namely sizing and desizing which are mutually responsible for increasing the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) values of liquid effluent emerging after the pretreatment process. This review describes in detail the types of commercial sizing agents depending on their origin, performance, and environmental profile. The review further throws light on the possibilities of extracting energy-efficient, value-added products from the residual waste and effluent. Such recovery mechanisms can enhance sustainability and bring circularity to textile wet processing.","PeriodicalId":154725,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Fibre and Textile Engineering","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139208323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hand-knotted carpets made from natural fibres like cotton tend to allow microbial growth when exposed to hot and humid conditions. This study involves the application of anti-microbial finishing chemicals developed from natural oils like Neem, Basil, and Aloe vera. Nano-emulsion of essential oil was prepared with polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate as a surfactant using a high-speed Homogenizer at 15K rpm for 30 minutes. These essential oils can repel insects like house flies and prevent the growth of microbes which cause human health-related issues like skin itching, irritation, sneezing and allergy. Varying concentrations of emulsion oil 1% and 5% were used to prepare nano-emulsion formulation, and the particle size and thermal stability were evaluated. FTIR analysis of the emulsion was done to check the presence of functional groups. The spraying technique was used for the application of neem oil emulsion on the carpet and dried. The finished carpet was tested for the anti-microbial performance effect and found to provide adequate microbial protection.","PeriodicalId":154725,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Fibre and Textile Engineering","volume":" 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139197269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cotton yarn of 2/20 used as warp and sisal-cotton blended yarn of 12s count used as weft. Ratio for blended yarn (sisal:cotton) was taken as 35:65. Union fabrics were developed in three weaves i.e., plain, basket and twill and analysed for their physical and mechanical properties. The developed union fabric samples were shown to a panel of ten judges consisting of industrial person, interior designer and the professional from Apparel and Textile Department and Family Resource andManagement department and preferences were taken for smoothness, softness, surface texture, uniformity, aesthetic appearance and tactile sensation. On the bases of these properties preferences were taken for product development. Handloom twill weave found to be best for its smoothness and handloom plain weave for tactile sensation. So, it can be used in upholstery, home textiles and in some parts of garments using lining.","PeriodicalId":154725,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Fibre and Textile Engineering","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126493655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonwoven industrial wipes fabric properties are the result of production technology and the combination of fabric constructional parameters. This work looks into the effect of fabric parameters on the desired properties of nonwoven industrial wipes fabricated by needle punching technique with the utilization of viscose and polyester fibres and their blends using RSM. The basic and essential characterization techniques to obtain information related to physiochemical properties of the nonwoven fabrics, using analytical investigation techniques have been evaluated. The results obtained established that the fabric parameters have a great influence on the nonwoven fabric structure and ultimately its properties. The result revealed that higher content of PET fibres led to a reduction in the vertical wicking rate, but better rising height can be achieved at samples made from 100 % of viscose fibres. Also, the influence of pore size and porosity largely influenced the fabric characteristics. The fibre volume fraction on the strength of nonwovens has been studied. The fabricated wipes present themselves as potential candidates for highly absorbent industrial wipes.","PeriodicalId":154725,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Fibre and Textile Engineering","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122415467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
