Carbonisation of wool
(Only for academic purpose during Covid time)
Very little processing of wools for worsted production is carried out. Where the
VM content is from medium to low, say a maximum of 2- 3%, mechanical
removal of the VM is usually adequate during carding and combing in the
worsted processhttps://www.woolwise.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/WOOL-482-582-12-T-04.pdf
being sufficient to produce a speck free top.
Carbonisation of Wool
Cellulosic impurities are removed by acidic hydrolysation.
Stages
Scouring
acidizing ( 6 to 8 degree Tw sulphuring acid) 1-2 g/L detergent at 20-30 degree C
Magnesium chloride, aluminium chloride or gaseous hydrochloric acid may also be
used.
Drying (60-70 degree C) and baking (110 degree C)
burr crushing ( run through dolly or millining machine or Pass through heavy fluted
rollers to crush the embrittled char)
and dedusting and neutralizing
Neutralisation with ammonia or ammonia/ammonium acetate mixtures removes acid
from the fabric far more rapidly than either sodium carbonate and sodium acetate.
Enzymatic carbonisation:
Cellulolases, ligninases, hydrolases, lyases, oxidoreductases.
