Scouring Notes

The document discusses scouring cotton fabric to remove impurities through different alkaline processes. It describes that scouring with lime soda boil involves boiling with lime water, treating with acid, and converting acids to soluble soaps by boiling with sodium carbonate. Scouring can also be done with caustic soda boil through continuous or batch boiling with sodium hydroxide, where the reaction rate increases with temperature. Mixtures of soda ash and caustic soda can also be used, where soda ash reacts with metals to form a stable emulsion. Sequestering agents and builders are mentioned to increase the scouring soap concentration and rate at the fabric surface.
