METHOD FOR WASHING OF COTTON FABRICS AFTER MERCERIZATION PROCESS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC D06B3/10 

FIELD: textile industry, in particular, cotton fabric washing after mercerization process in production of dyed textile materials.

SUBSTANCE: method involves dividing bath adapted for washing of cotton fabrics and supplied with running water into two chambers by means of partition featuring the properties of fine filter for water; introducing electrodes into both of said chambers; supplying voltage to electrodes for creating electric field having intensity E=20-200 V/m; changing voltage polarity on electrodes with periodicity of 1-5 min; washing cotton fabric within chamber of larger size during 5-20 min. Method allows electric field intensity and, correspondingly, voltage supplied to electrodes to be reduced and safety of washing process to be enhanced.

EFFECT: increased efficiency, reduced process time, decreased consumption of power and costs for washing of cotton fabrics after mercerization process, and improved safety of process.
