TY - JOUR JF - goljaam JO - goljaam VL - 6 IS - 15 PY - 2010 Y1 - 2010/6/01 TI - Improvement of Some Scoured Wool Characteristics TT - بهبود برخی خواص الیاف پشم حاصل از فرایند شستشو N2 - Commercial wool scouring instructions are introduced mainly by technological and chemical manufacturing companies. Most of the instructions are prepared according to the technical specifications of the most famous international wool brands with high level of production. Other types of wools are scoured based on mentioned instructions with minor corrections. Using commercial instructions in scouring of Iranian wools usually leads to decrease the scoured wool quality. In this study, operational methods and machine settings used by Iranian wool scouring companies are investigated. To achieve better appearance characteristics (light and optical) on scoured wool, some changes to conventional methods are introduced, considering the Iranian wool characteristics. These changes are then evaluated to suggest the optimum methods of scouring. Finally, effects of these changes are evaluated to suggest the best method for obtaining the best quality Iranian scoured wools. Results show that the changes have advantageous effects on the quality of scoured wools.
