The white rot fungus Trametes versicolor was applied to the decolourisation of three synthetic textile dyes in the presence and absence of glucose. Different initial dye concentrations were tested and approximately 97% decolourisation was achieved. It was found that fungal metabolism induced by the glucose as well as the pH play an important role in the decolourisation process. This treatment w...

Due to Taiwan join WTO and quotas cancellation, textile goods faced global competition. With the short life cycle of the textile market and demand uncertainty in market, it leads to increasing pressure on the textile industry. Brand vendors start to search partners and hope to solve these problems through information sharing and collaboration. After sixty-year’s development, textile industry in...

The recent challenge in textile supply chain management is the development of collaboration network which accommodates diverse concerns of various participants while explicitly recognizing interdependencies and promoting effective relationship management. This study is designed to suggest a collaboration network model for textile industry and apply it to establish a desirable framework for the ...

Textile industry processes are among the most environmentally unfriendly industrial processes; because, they produce color wastewater that is heavily polluted the environment. Therefore, textile industry wastewater has to be treated before being discharged into the environment. In this study, experiments were conducted for different process parameters like nutrient dosage and dilution ratio aga...

Recent research on the importance of the antebellum tariff for the survival of the American cotton textile industry has come into highly conflicting conclusions. By examining both the British and American experiences throughout the period, we find that both extreme conclusions are potentially misleading. Our results suggest that both the quality composition of imports from Great Britain and the...

The U.S. furniture, home furnishings, and textile industries are faced with threats from less expensive imports and as a result must become more strategic with regard to consumer preferences, effective marketing, and supply chain management. As a significant market for textiles, the sustainability of furniture and home furnishing industries is vital to the U.S. textile industry. This paper focu...

The present study focused to isolate the different fungi species from contaminated soil samples of textile industry wastewater, located in Kanchipuram. The experiments were conducted against the effect of pH, fungi biomass and different concentration (different dilution ratio) to know the effectiveness of fungi for removing colour from textile industry wastewater. The results showed that the or...

The textile industry is the most important sector in Pakistan’s economy. Based on the availability of raw cotton, the industry provides the largest employment (38% of the total employment) and is also its largest foreign exchange earner. It contributes 68% of total exports, 46% of total manufacturing, 8.5% of total GDP, 31% of total investment and 12% of total market capitalization. Over the ye...

conclusions the study results showed that by increasing the initial dye concentration and contact time, the adsorption capacity increased, as well. moreover, the thermodynamic parameters (δh °, δg °, and δs °) revealed the endothermic sorption of rr-198 onto mwcnts. results the rr-198 absorption rates were 33.26 and 222.88 mg/g, respectively for 20, and 200 mg/l dye concentration, at ph of 3, 6...
