As landfill costs rise, so does the pressure to increase recycling of nonhazardous waste. A study was conducted to determine the attitudes of textile manufacturers towards market acceptance of recycling textile fibers into new textile products. A questionnaire elicited responses from 90 of 157 manufacturers in seven textile Standard Industrial Codes (SICS) in North Carolina, including small, me...

In a Least Developed Country (LDC) like Bangladesh where the textile is the main core of the economy, there is a major drawback in this sector which is the defect detection of the fabric. In the manual fault detection system with highly trained inspectors, very less percentage of the defects is being detected in upon fabrics in the textile industries. But a real time automatic system can increa...

Textile effluents are among the most difficult-to-treat wastewaters, due to their considerable amount of recalcitrant and toxic substances. Fungal biosorption is viewed as a valuable additional treatment for removing pollutants from textile wastewaters. In this study the efficiency of Cunninghamella elegans biomass in terms of contaminants, COD and toxicity reduction was tested against textile ...

The research for objectifying the handle of textile fabrics is a very important factor in the textile and garment manufacturing and retailing industries. Handle is influenced by mechanical properties of textile fabrics and the surface roughness. The KES-F system is standard objectified method among different measurement methods. But the measurement of surface roughness applied the KES-F which i...

Water contamination with large amounts of industrial textile coloured effluents is an environmental concern. For the treatment of textile effluents, white-rot fungi have received extensive attention due to their powerful capability to produce oxidative (e.g., ligninolytic) enzymes. In addition, other groups of fungi, such as species of Aspergillus and Trichoderma, have also been used for textil...
