Summary
It is well known that ozone can be used as a bleaching agent for cellulosic textile materials. In the context of this study, investigations were undertaken to optimize bleaching of linen fabrics using Box-Behnken Experimental Design. The bleaching process involved two distinct steps where linen fabrics were ozonated under different treatment times then the latter in a subsequent step were subjected to hydrogen peroxide bleaching under a variety of conditions. As a result of study, three optimum recipes were achieved and pretreatment with ozone for 15 min before peroxide bleaching supplies time and chemical savings.
