3 washing process, 4 low temperature washing process
We now come to the saving possibilities. That is, there are a lot of possibilities to design a sustainable process. Module 3 chapter 4 handled two of them.
Which factor does not belong to the Sinner`s Circle?
textile type
time
chemical Action
Which factor is sometimes shown as additional factor to the Sinner`s Circle?
mechanical action
water
bleach
At which washing temperature is the removal of fat, oil and grease more efficient?
at room temperature
At 70°C
higher than 70°C
Why is it necessary to have more chemical action at lower washing temperature?
otherwise it does not smell nice
otherwise insufficient strength to kill bacteria
otherwise there is no foam formation
The time in minutes necessary to kill 90% of the present bacteria
only depends on the amount of chemicals applied
increases linear with decreasing temperature
increases exponentially with decreasing temperature
Why can, due to lower washing temperatures, the load of polyester-cotton workwear be increased?
because less program changes had to be made due to equal washing temperatures
there is less risk of excessive wrinkle of the workwear
this is due to less wear and tear of the workwear
What makes chemicals for lower washing temperatures more expensive?
the combination of enzymes and organic bleaches, such as PAP
the fact that they are biodegradable
the buffer chemicals that maintain a constant pH above 9
Economical benefit of washing at low temperature depends on
textile savings and chemical costs
labor costs
bacterial growth
Economical benefit of low washing temperature needs to be evaluated for
