Oxidation of wool: Photochemical oxidation

Oxidation of Wool : Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on Wool

The purpose of this investigation was to provide quantitative data showing the effect of oxidizing agents on wool as a basis for studying all processes in which wool is exposed to oxidation reactions. The work reported in this paper deals only with the effect of hydrogen peroxide. Data are presented showing the effects on wool of varying the concentration, temperature, and pH of the hydrogen pe...

Oxidation of Wool : Alkali ~ Solubility Test for Determining the Extent of Oxidation

Oxidizing agents attack the disulfide groups of the cystine in wool and increase the solubility of the wool in alkaline solutions. The determination of the alkalisolubility may be used as a measure of the extent to which the wool is oxidized. The method is applicaule as a control in practical processes, such as bleaching and chlorination, and offers a measure of the extent to which wool is degr...

Photochemical Oxidation of Soil Organic Matter by Sunlight

Although soils are considered as major carbon stores, rapid oxidation of soil organic carbon can contribute to CO2 evolution and global warming on a large scale. Generally, microbial and climatic factors are thought to be mainly responsible for such oxidative losses. Another probable factor is photodegradation by sunlight. Cultivated soils of the tropics are left barren for a greater part of th...
