With the increasingly important requirement for textile
manufacturers to reduce pollution in textile production, the use of
enzymes in the chemical processing of fibres and textiles is
rapidly gaining wider recognition because of their non-toxic and
eco-friendly characteristics. They can be safely used in a wide
selection of textile processes such as de-sizing, scouring,
bleaching, dyeing and finishing, where the alternatives are very
harsh chemicals whose disposal into the environment causes many
problems.
Textile processing with enzymes aims to provide the textile
technologist with an understanding of enzymes and their use with
textile materials and in process engineering. It covers all the
relevant aspects of textile processing with enzymes, from the
chemical constitution and properties of textile materials as
potential substrates for enzymes, to the processing of these
materials; from basic biochemistry and enzymology to the industrial
application of these biocatalysts.
The introductory chapter contains an historic overview of the
subject, followed by an overview of the fundamental aspects of
enzymes determining catalytic properties. There is also a review of
non-fibrous materials as substrates for enzymes. Chapter four
covers catalysis and processing; providing an analysis of the
function and application of enzymes used in textile processing. The
fifth chapter offers important insights in process engineering and
describes major problems of industrial applications of enzymes in
textiles. Chapter six discusses practical aspects of handling with
enzymes. Enzyme stabilities, operational and storage stabilities
are discussed in detail along with health and safety issues. The
final chapter deals with the potential of enzymes in textile
effluent treatment.
It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the use of
enzymes in textiles including textile students, scientists and
engineers with a background in textiles, biotechnology, chemistry
and process engineering.
