A method of removing cellulose and other vegetable contaminants from fabrics

摘要

A fabric is decontaminated by treatment with an enzymatic preparation containing cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzymes that allow for a reduction of H2SO4 concentration below 2% during fabric carbonization. The process may be carried out with the machinery and equipment of dye-houses and finishing mills. The method can be applied to pure wool fabrics, and also to fabrics containing synthetic fibers, except for artificial cellulose fibers.
