Abstract

In recent years, there is a growing demand for eco-friendly chemicals for sustainable textiles. This paper examines an eco-friendly

chemical, plant-derived biosurfactant, for scouring of raw wool. Box–Behnken response surface experimental design was chosen to

study and optimize the influence of process variables; on the whiteness, weight loss and grease content of wool fibers. The regression

model provided a good explanation of the relationship among the independent variables and the response. The morphological and

chemical changes of wool fibers were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

(FTIR), respectively. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the effluents was measured in order to determine wastewater quality. The

achieved results indicated that the plant-derived biosurfactant Quillaja saponaria saponin could be an environmental friendly alternative

for scouring of raw wool.

YÜNÜN YIKANMASINDA BİYOYÜZEY AKTİF MADDE KULLANIMININ TEPKİ YÜZEY YÖNTEMİYLE İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Son yıllarda, sürdürülebilir tekstil ürünleri için çevre dostu kimyasallara yönelik artan bir talep vardır. Bu çalışmada, yünün

yıkanması için çevre dostu kimyasal olarak bitkisel kaynaklı biyoyüzey aktif madde kullanımı incelenmiştir. İşlem değişkenlerinin yün

liflerinin beyazlığına, ağırlık kaybına ve yağ içeriğine etkisini incelemek ve optimize etmek için Box-Behnken tepki yüzey deneysel

tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Regresyon modeli, bağımsız değişkenler ve yanıt arasındaki ilişki hakkında iyi bir açıklama sağlamıştır. Yün

liflerinin morfolojik ve kimyasal değişimleri taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) ve Fourier dönüşüm infrared spektroskopisi (FTIR)

kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Atık suyun kalitesini belirlemek için atık suların kimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı (COD) ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen

sonuçlar, bitkisel kaynaklı biyoyüzey aktif madde Quillaja saponaria saponin’in yünün yıkanması için çevre dostu bir alternatif

olabileceğini göstermiştir.
