Energy is one of the primary inputs in textile processing industries that have a significant impact on the cost of a cotton product. The energy cost-share is reported between 5-10% of the total production cost of woven cotton fabric in textile factories of developed countries. However, it is far higher in developing countries. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of energy use and...

Our country’s textile industry is in the producing and processing field in the global value chain, so textiles’ added value is low and profit margins is narrow. Developed countries take up fields of high-grade fabrics production and advanced textile machinery manufacture. Because textile fabrics, textile machinery and equipment of China's textile industry fall behind developed countries, produc...

3D textile model plays an important role in textile engineering. However, not much work focus on high-quality 3D textile reconstruction. The texture is also limited by photography methods in 3D scanning. This paper presents a novel framework of reconstructing a high-quality 3D textile model with a synthesized texture. Firstly, a pipeline of 3D textile processing is proposed to obtain a better 3...

One of the NTC goals is to strengthen the nations textile and educational efforts by uniting diverse experts and resources in unique collaborative efforts. The union of a polymer chemist, a mechanical engineer (with a textile engineering undergraduate background), a polymer physicist, and a number of researchers in the textile and processing industries to work toward the solution to an importan...

Textile industries are one of the major contaminators of water and soil. Sodium is the only major cation present in textile wastewater due to high consumption of sodium salts in processing units. Many aquatic macrophytes are successfully used for phytoremediation of contaminated water. An attempt has been made to test the potential of Salvinia molesta in reduction of sodium from textile effluen...

This review discusses cotton textile processing and methods of treating effluent in the textile industry. Several countries, including India, have introduced strict ecological standards for textile industries. With more stringent controls expected in the future, it is essential that control measures be implemented to minimize effluent problems. Industrial textile processing comprises pretreatme...

The large number of publications in the field of extraction, purification, modification, and process optimization of natural dyes and their application on textiles demonstrates the revival of natural dyes on textile coloration. The use of natural dyes is growing in popularity because of the quality of the natural dyestuff obtained, the environmental compatibility of the dyes and the substantial...

Cotton fibre is mainly composed of cellulose, although non-cellulosic polysaccharides play key roles during fibre development and are still present in the harvested fibre. This study aimed at determining the fate of non-cellulosic polysaccharides during cotton textile processing. We analyzed non-cellulosic cotton fibre polysaccharides during different steps of cotton textile processing using GC...
