Abstract
The influence of various additives on the efficiency of optimized ozone bleaching process at pilot scale has been discussed in this study. The results reveal that the best whiteness (63.79) and strength of bleached fabric is achieved with the addition of surfactant (2 g/L) at an ozone dose of 50 g/h, pH 5, and ozone treatment time of 45 min at room temperature. The dyeing quality of ozone-bleached and hydrogen peroxide-bleached fabric samples is almost identical. The analysis of variance of the experimental data validates that the process parameters have significantly affected the efficiency of ozone bleaching process.
