High Pressure Blow-through Kier was used for Scouring

Scouring is a preparatory treatment in textile wet processing. It removes the natural, added and adventitious impurities from the textile substrate that makes them ready for subsequent processes such as bleaching and dyeing. Scouring in textiles is a process of cleaning the undesirable matters and makes the treated fabric absorbent. It is sometimes followed by a bleaching process in case of lighter shades and to achieve full white material.[1][2]

Fatty substances and waxy matters are the major barriers in hydrophilicity of the natural fibers such as cotton and wool which are converted into soluble salts with the help of alkali.[3]

Saponification

The conversion of fat or oil into soap and alcohol by the action of heat in the presence of aqueous alkali. The treatment is called Saponification.

Methods

Continuous scouring

A continuous method takes place in an arrangement of J box.[1]: 19 [2]

Discontinuous scouring

In discontinuous method certain machines are used such as dyeing vessels, winches, jiggers and Kier.[1]: 19, 20 [3]: 51 [2]

Kier boiling

Kier boiling and ''Boiling off'' are the scouring process that involves boiling of the materials with caustic solution in the Kier.[4][5][6]

Cotton scouring

Cotton scouring refers to the scouring process for cotton to remove its impurities such as natural wax, pectins,[3]: 25 [2]

Wool scouring

The removal of lanolin, vegetable materials and other wool contaminants before use is an example of wool scouring.[7][8]
