Abstract
Cotton is bleached with peracetic acid by varying the process parameters (p H, temperature, treatment time, and acid concentration). The effect of thes e process parameters on the quality of the bleached material is discussed a nd compared with conventionally bleached materials. To obtain the desired d egree of whiteness with minimum chemical damage to cellulose, the process p arameters are optimized.
