Application of Sodium Hypochlorite in Textile Mills

2025-01-23 16:58:43

Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), as an inorganic chlorine-containing disinfectant with strong oxidizing properties, plays a vital role in the textile industry. The BSHH series sodium hypochlorite generator produced by Bluewv produces high-concentration sodium hypochlorite by electrolyzing brine. Its wide application not only improves the quality of textiles, but also promotes the production efficiency and environmental protection of textile mills.

Bleaching effect

In textile mills, sodium hypochlorite is widely used to bleach textiles such as cotton, linen, and synthetic fibers. Through the bleaching effect of sodium hypochlorite, natural pigments or artificial dyes on textiles can be effectively removed, and the whiteness and uniformity of the products can be improved. This is crucial to improving the appearance quality and market competitiveness of textiles.

During the bleaching process, sodium hypochlorite uses its strong oxidizing properties to oxidize and decompose the pigments on the fabric, thereby achieving the purpose of bleaching. Although the sodium hypochlorite bleaching process is simple and low-cost, in actual operation, it is necessary to strictly control the process parameters such as the concentration, temperature, and time of the bleaching solution to reduce damage to the fabric and avoid the problem of yellowing of the fabric after bleaching.


Disinfection and Sterilization

In addition to bleaching, sodium hypochlorite is also commonly used for disinfection and sterilization in textile mills. Bacteria and viruses are easily bred in the production environment of textile mills. These microorganisms not only affect product quality, but may also pose a threat to workers' health. With its excellent bactericidal ability, sodium hypochlorite can quickly reduce the bacterial content in the air, effectively kill bacteria and viruses in the water, and ensure the sanitation and safety of the production environment. In addition, sodium hypochlorite can also be used to treat textile mill wastewater, killing harmful microorganisms in wastewater through its strong oxidizing properties, and reducing environmental pollution.


Environmental Protection and Sustainability

Sodium hypochlorite also has certain advantages in environmental protection and sustainability. Compared with other bleaching agents, sodium hypochlorite has a more significant bleaching effect and generates less waste during use. In addition, sodium hypochlorite can be prepared by electrolyzing salt water, and the raw material source is wide and renewable, which meets the requirements of sustainable development. However, it should be noted that sodium hypochlorite may produce harmful gases such as chlorine during use, so corresponding protective measures must be taken to ensure production safety and environmental protection.


Conclusion

The application of sodium hypochlorite in textile mills covers bleaching, disinfection and sterilization, which is of great significance for improving the quality of textiles, ensuring the hygiene of the production environment and promoting environmental protection and sustainable development. With the continuous development of the textile industry and technological progress, the application prospects of sodium hypochlorite will be broader. However, during use, it is also necessary to pay attention to its safety and environmental protection to ensure its reasonable application in textile mills.

Bluewv has been committed to the research and development and production of sodium hypochlorite generators. By continuously optimizing the use process of sodium hypochlorite and strengthening safety management, textile mills can give full play to the advantages of sodium hypochlorite, improve production efficiency and product quality, and achieve environmental protection and sustainable development goals.
