Enzymatic Bleaching of Desized Cotton Fabrics with Hydrogen Peroxide Produced by Glucose Oxidase
E-mail:
The feasibility of cotton-bleaching with enzymatically produced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was investigated in this study. Glucose oxidase (GOD), catalyzing the generation of H2O2 from glucose oxidation, was used as a model enzyme. When 0.1 M glucose solutions were treated in order to achieve the production of H2O2 to 0.1% (w/w) enough for cotton-bleaching, the reaction was found to be limited by oxygen supply rates. Also, the remaining glucose caused the development of yellow color in cotton bleaching. When the initial concentration of glucose was reduced to 0.05 M, and the oxygen was supplied at 1.0 L O2/min, the levels of H2O2 were maintained at about 0.07% (w/w), and the concentration of the remaining glucose was negligibly low. In bleaching desized cotton fabrics, the whiteness level obtained with enzymatically produced H2O2 (0.07% (w/w)) was comparable to that with commercially available H2O2 (0.1% (w/w)).
