Abstract
A merino wool top was bleached in both alkaline and acidic media, varying t he hydrogen peroxide concentration in the bleaching bath. For the same pero xide concentration, bleaching in an alkaline medium leads to a whiter and m ore chemically attacked wool than bleaching in an acidic medium. For the sa me chemical attack, wool bleached in an alkaline medium is whiter than for bleaching in an acidic medium.
