Study of the
Internal Structure of Compact Spun Yarn
Objectives :
- Comperative evaluation of compact spun yarn vis-a-vis conventional
ring spun yarn.
- To study the impact of different process parameters on compact spun
yarn.
- To study the internal structure of compact spun yarn.
Findings :
- Comparison of Properties of Compact Spun Yarn & Ring Yarn :
i) Compact yarns have 59% less hairiness.
ii) Frequency of imperfection in compact yarns is less by 16%.
iii) The tenacity and elongation at break of compact yarns are higher by
8% and 28% respectively.
- Impact of Process Variables on Properties of Compact Spun Yarn :
i) Three variables i.e. spindle speed, twist per inch and traveller
weight were selected to assess their impact on various yarn
properties.
ii) Hairiness decreases with the certain increase of spindles speed
& traveller weight and after achieving an optimum level,
hairiness inceases with the increase of spindle speed.
iii) Traveller weight does not influence the imperfections. However, in
order to control imperfections, an appropriate combination of
spindle speed & twist is required.
- Assessment and Analysis of Fibre Migration and Packing Density of
Compact Spun Yarn
In order to find out the reason behind superior quality of compact spun yarn over
conventional ring spun yarn, arrangement of fibres in both the yarns is assessed in terms
of mean fibre position, mean migration intensity, amplitude of fibres and packing density
of the yarn. The results from the experiment clearly indicate that compact spun yarn has
higher packing density, mean fibre position, mean migration intensity and amplitude.
Moreover, assessment of impact of various ring frame process variables on all the above
parameters is in progress.
Recycling of
High TDS Textile Effluent in Reactive Dyeing
Objectives :
Lab scale studies on -
- Recycling of high TDS treated effluent from ETP of a cotton process
house in reactive dyeing.
- Quality evaluation of samples dyed by using treated effluent.
- Comparison with samples dyed by using soft water
- De-colorization of used dye bath liquor using a natural adsorbent.
- Repeated recycling of dye bath liquor after de-colorization.
Findings :
The laboratory scale studies suggested that the treated effluent with high TDS may be
recycled for dyeing of cotton fabric with reactive dyes. Advantage may be taken of high
salt content of the treated effluent by using less or no salt during the dyeing operation.
The treated effluent resulted in slightly higher colour strength K/S value of the dyed
fabric than soft water. The colour difference DE value of the dyed sample was well within
the acceptable limit when the dyeing was carried out with addition of less amount of salt
to treated effluent. The treated effluent from exhausted dye bath could be repeatedly used
after its decolorization. The colour strength of the dyed fabric was almost same up to V
recycling. The color difference DE was also within the acceptable limit. The dyed sampels
also showed fairly good fastness to washing with slight change in color (after IV
decolorized effluent) and staining (after III decolorized effluent). The present study has
been carried out on lab scale using only three reactive dyes. Optimization of experimental
conditions using more reactive dyes is necessary before its implementation in the
industry.
Development of a
Polymeric Adsorbent for Removal of Reactive Dyes from Textile Effluent
Objectives :
- Development of an adsorbent based on chemical modification of
polystyrene.
- Removal of reactive dyes from textile wastewater using the
adsorbent.
- Studies on the effect of pH, time of equilibration, salt
concentration, surfactants and dye concentration on the adsorption capacity.
- Regeneration of exhausted adsorbent and its reuse.
Findings :
A new adsorbent based on chemical modification of polystyrene was prepared and used for
the removal of reactive dyes from textile wastewater. The adsorbent had a very high
adsorption capacity for the hydrolyzed reactive dyes and it remained unaffected by the pH
of the dye solution. The presence of high concentration of sodium chloride did not affect
the dye adsorption behaviour but the surfactant linear alkyl benzene sulfonate affected
its adsorption capacity. The dye pick up by the adsorbent was also quite fast. The
suppression in adsorption behaviour in presence of anionic surfactant implied the ionic
interaction between the dye molecule and the adsorbent matrix. The exhausted adsorbent was
regenerated and could be reused up to 6 cycles without any significant loss in its
adsorption capacity.
- Standardization of the effluent from cotton processing in Handloom Sector.
- To design and develop low cost energy efficient treatment plant for handling small volume of handloom processing effluent with erratic flow.
- Installation of the model effluent treatment plant in handloom processing unit at Weavers Service Centre, New Delhi.
Findings :
Handloom processing unit for installation of model ETP was finalized in consultation with Director, Weavers Service Centre, New Delhi. Process study was carried out for cotton yarn processing. The effluent sample from dyeing, scouring and bleaching operations were collected and analyzed in environmental laboratory.The effluent treatment scheme was finalized and a technical feasibility report was prepared and submitted to Weavers Service Center and Office of the Development Commissioner. Detailed engineering drawing was prepared and submitted to Director, Weavers Service Centre, New Delhi for completion of civil work as it was in their scope of work. Detailed specifications of various components of model ETP were prepared. Fabrication of the plant as per NITRA design and civil work at site was completed. The plant was finally installed and commissioned at Weavers Service Centre, Bharat Nagar, New Delhi. The treated effluent samples were collected after operating the plant and were analysed in Environmental Laboratory. All the effleunt parameters were found within the permissible limits for disposal of textile effluents.
on colour strength, light fastness and UV
protection factor (UPF) is the same when UV absorber is used separately. UPF of dyed
fabrics is not affected by exposure to light. Even after ten washings, dyed fabrics and UV
absorbers treated fabrics have retained sun protection property. However, treatment of
optical brighteners has not retained the sun protection property after washings. Fabric
after treatment of UV absorber, retains mechanical properties like tensile strength, tear
strength, crease recovery, air permeability and bending length. One paper on development
of UV resistant polyester cotton blended fabric was presented. Two M.Sc. students
completed training programme in this project.
An industrial plant to the tune of 2500 liter/day has been erected in the National Capital Region, which is working satisfactorily. The plant operates smoothly on the principle of up flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor after slashing down the rudimentary color intensity through physicochemical technique. This plant brings down COD value from 16000 mg/l to less than 250 mg/l as the anaerobic treatment is supposed to carry out reductive cleavage of reactive dyestuff during the treatment. NITRA has also set up a pilot plant to enlarge the periphery of application while treating the effluent with moderate level of COD/BOD load.
To study section wise humidification conditions.

extraction of natural dyes
- Standardization of extraction procedures according to plant species.
- Purification of the extracted dyes and their application in dyeing of textiles
- Techno-economic evaluation of overall process
Work Done :
Raw materials from three plant species namely,
Tesu flower, Pomegranate rind and Dolu bark have been used for the extraction,
purification and textile application of the natural dyes. Optimization of extraction
conditions, identification and purity assessment of the final dyestuff has also been
carried out. The application of natural dyes on different substrates (cotton, wool and
silk) under different conditions have been studied by using various mordents.
Eco-friendliness of extracted dyes has been confirmed by analyzing the extracted
dyes for the presence of toxic aryl amines, pesticides and heavy metals. A pilot plant
model has also been developed for effective extraction of the dyestuff at the most
techno-economic level using a counter current step extraction procedure. It shows
pretreatment, extraction, membrane separation evaporation and drying, the essential unit
operations involved for enhancing purity of dyestuff and its yield.
Objectives :
- Scale up of the technology to pilot plant level and its industrial trial
- Development of a facility for bulk scale production of adsorbent
- Trials on the pilot plant using actual effluents from cotton process house
- Optimization of process parameters
- Investigation on reuse of water and recovered chemicals and dyes in to the process
stream
Work Done
:
A suitable adsorbent material possessing some desirable ionic characteristics has
been developed in the laboratory. The material shows high adsorption capacity for reactive
dyes, which are anionic in nature. The role of adsorbent is to remove the unwanted
dyestuff from textile effluents preferentially by passing through a column of the
adsorbent.
A laboratory scale model for preparation of the adsorbent material has been designed and
installed in the environmental laboratory. The pilot plant is working satisfactorily and
the experiments on removal of reactive dyes from dyeing effluents are in progress. The
parameter of investigation are flow rate, dye concentration, nature of surfactant, pH etc.
Literature review has been completed and final project report is under writing stage. The
adsorbent column technology is also being implemented in industry for the recovery of
surfactants.
Work Done :
An explorative search has been accomplished on development of a suitable technology for
recovery of water from textile wet processing effluent with subsequent mode of water
replenishment for recycling the same in the process house without any adverse effect on
the product quality. The scheme starts with segregation of streams, a thorough analysis on
process inventory for their biodegradability with a relevant “end-of-pipe”
treatment scheme for water reclamation from the dilute waste stream.
The scheme has been successfully tested and implemented in a large process house in
Ghaziabad where 50 % of water is being recycled. The second industrial project with a
stiff challenge of 65 % water recycling in an International textile unit at Panipat is
under completion stage. The project report is under writing stage and is going to be
submitted shortly. Some of the findings have already been highlighted in 44th JTC held at
SITRA, Coimbatore on March 8-9, 2003.

Recycling of Concentrated Textile
Wet Processing Effluent in Dyeing of Cotton with Reactive Dyes.
- Recycling of recovered saline water
in dyeing with reactive dyes
- Impact of high salinity of water
on dyeing behavior
The samples were collected after dye bath exhaustion from a cotton/viscose/ polyester dyeing unit. Efforts have been made on recuperation of highly saline water from the concentrated effluent stream and it’s recycling in dyeing with reactive dyes. This requires an integrated approach to recover only saline water by bringing down the other parameters within the acceptable limits. The impact of high salinity of water on dyeing of cotton yarn with reactive dye was studied in the laboratory using the standard method. The effect of salt concentration on dyeing behavior measured through color strength, K/S value, color coordinates L, a, b and color difference, DE values.
It was found that high salinity influences the dyeing behavior favorably. There was no significant effect of salt concentration on the dye up take. K/S value of the dyed yarn increases with an increase in salt concentration. DE values also increase and go beyond the acceptable limit at higher (10000 mg/l) salt concentrations. This problem could be overcome by process parameter optimization.

Study of the Internal Structure of Compact Spun
Yarn -
To
study the impact of different process parameters on compact spun yarn. -
To
study the internal structure of compact spun yarn. The comparative results of classic ring spin yarn vis-à-vis compact
spun yarn show that compact spun yarn has overall superiority over conventional ring spun
yarn. Compact yarn shows about 59% less hairiness which may be mainly due to
integration of edge fibres in the yarn body. Hairiness after winding also shows that
percentage increase in hairiness in case of compact yarn is lesser in comparison to
conventional ring yarn. The imperfection level of compact spun yarn is less by 16%
than conventional ring yarn. The difference can be observed mainly in thick and
neps. The tenacity and elongation at break of compact spun yarn is higher by 8% and
28% respectively that may be because of incorporation of edge fibres into yarn and lesser
tendency of fibres moving outward, spinning-in-coefficient or fibre extent of compact yarn
may increase. - Impact of
Process Variables on Properties of Compact Yarn : The results indicate that an increase in traveler weight and spindle speed
invariably decreases the yarn hairiness (hairiness index). Moreover, higher spindle
speed increases air drag as well as yarn tension. Increase in air drag causes more
hairiness but because of compact structure of the yarn its impact gets limited (up to a
certain level) while increase in yarn tension plays an important role which helps in
better twist flow closer to the nip and produces less hairy yarn. Bio-polishing conditions
were optimised, non silicate stabliser process for Hydrogen Peroxide bleaching was
standardised. The object of project was to optimise peroxide bleaching process with
non-silicate stabilisers and bio-polishing of knitted goods. In first part optimum
quantity of peroxide was observed as 2% owf which gives similar results as silicate
process in dyeing. Bending length in non-silicate process observed lower than silicate
process. The cellulose enzyme treatment minimises surface various and improve smoothness,
wetting property and air permeability. The indo-gluconase content of enzyme fraction plays
a key role in hydrolysis of cellulose. Two book on knitting processing in Hindi and
another in English were published. This project was completed
successfully and report submitted to ministry of power, Govt. of India. In this project
main objective was to develop power consumption norms for synthetic yarns. The NITRA has
completed the project with development of detail norms on power consumption (specifically
in ring frames) for synthetic and compare it with cotton and found that in synthetic the
power consumption is higher about 12-15%. The special features of this project
is the neutralisation of alkaline textile effluents using acidic flue gases, emanated from
boilers. A specially designed ‘NITRA Neutraliser’ is a low energy unit and
possesses unique features. A provisional patent has already been accepted for on the
design of this ‘neutraliser’. This project explored the scope of
recovery of auxiliary chemicals, water and energy from textile fibre dyeing effluent by
membrane separation process. Cellulosic membranes developed in the laboratory were
explored for its application in removal of dyes from polyester fibre dyeing effluent. Several new recovery and reuse
schemes were developed as a part of this project and aimed at reuse of waste chemicals
like caustic soda, soda-ash, synthetic detergents, surfactants and dyes etc. through
suitable separation and purification steps. The project aimed at design and
development of a new processing machinery for the possible replacement of conventional
processing system and carries out washing and processing operations most efficiently
reducing the demand for overall water consumption with a scope of recirculation of spent
chemicals alongwith a drastic cut in chemical consumption. The project was planned in view of
future needs of human resources for textile industry. The study provides the following
findings : The study covers seventy textile
mills, thirty powerlooms and processing units & twenty educational institutions. The biggest problem being faced by
the textile industry during last two decades is the sickness of the textile mills in
organised sector. The project was aimed to identify & analyse the contributing factors
for such situation. The finding shows that although technological gaps, backwardness, poor
quality of raw material, rise in cost of components etc. seems to be the causes but these
are only effects and environmental factor appears to be the main reason for such trend. In spite of a rich heritage in
producing the quality goods in ancient past, the Indian textiles have failed to maintain a
commanding share in the International market in recent days. In order to overcome the
above situation, studies were designed in this project having following findings.
Considering the needs for making cheaper yarn available to the weavers, the following
studies were planned : Study covers eight
powerloom & handloom centres of Northern region & as well as some industries in
organised sector. This project mainly aimed at
eliminating the short comings of the Indian cottons by conducting controlled experiments
at the ginning stage including pre-cleaning and post-ginning operations. Various studies
& experiments carried out during in this project give the ways :
It has been observed that Export of cotton yarns & fabrics in the mill sector has been
increased many fold mainly due to the recent policies of the Govt.However,India is
lagging in this race due differences in quality as well as lack of consistancy in
quality.he study was aimed to identify those back logs and improve upon the present
situation. The findings of theworks consist of : Export of yarns, fabrics, garments
and other textiles have been increased rapidly during the last few years and as a result
it now accounts for about 35% of our total export earnings. Man-made textiles contributes
about 30% of the total textile export. With the liberalised policy, signing of GATT
agreement and changed scenario, the quality of textiles needs to be improved &
consistency in quality requires to be maintained at higher levels to make further boost in
exports to advanced countries. The study aimed for meeting quality
requirements for experts reveals (1) the causes of unsatisfactory yarn quality; (2)
specific guidelines for raw material selection & manufacturing conditions &
precautions for producing yarns of International quality standards. The project was undertaken to : A detailed report
covering all the above areas was submitted to Deptt. of Scientific & Industrial
Research, Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India. The Crompton Greaves has developed a
permanent magnet motor controller with the collaboration with power tech U.S.A. the main
objective of trial was to compare it with conventional drive and finally it has shown
positive results i.e. less power consumption about 3-5% with higher productivity. This project aimed at
identification of various naturally occurring natural dye sources and optimisation of
extraction, purification and dyeing conditions. A pilot plant comprising of a dye
extraction column has been designed, fabricated and installed at NITRA. Under this project Ministry of
Textiles, Govt. of India has assigned us to survey decentralised sector to find out
possibilities of inducing information technology in decentralised powerloom sector. This
sector is fetching around 70% of the total fabric needed for domestic as well export
market. The objectives of this project are : Chemical treatment was given to raw
water for effective removal of silica and hardness which causes problem in boilers and
various textile processes. It has been combined with ion-exchange process followed by
degassification and activated carbon treatment to obtain water having zero hardness and
less than 10ppm TDS. The water quality has been compared with the standards prescribed for
various textile and allied industrial process and treatment scheme has been suggested for
each. Chemical treatment was given to a
textile effluent from cotton process house. The effluent was intensively coloured (black)
having very high COD and BOD values. A combination of chemicals coagulant & flocculant
was used to obtain clear & colourless water. More than 98% COD & BOD removal was
achieved to meet the recommended level for disposal of the effluent into a suitable body. The above project study was carried
out on different types of blends & over a wide range of counts at the pilot plant
stage & also mills trials were taken. The performance of these modified bobbin holders
& their impact on yarn quality was assessed viz-a-viz normal bobbin holders and the
finding are as below : The project covered 100% cotton, P/C
& P/V yarns. Cots of various shore-hardness ranging from 65o to 90o
were used. It was observed that hardness of cots plays a vital role in some of the quality
parameters like U%, thin & thick places. The project also covered the average life of
cots that is prevailing in most of the mills today & it was found that there is a
general reduction in life of cots. The project covered : With rapid advancement
in technology at preparatory and ring-frame stage we are not fully exploising the
advantages of the machines specially the total draft at ring frame which in turn require
more preparatory machines or higher cost of production By optimising the various process
parameters at preparatory and at ring-frame stage (such as Roving, T.M., R/F top roller
pressure, roller setting, break draft etc.) equivalent quality yarn can be prepared by
using coarser rovings In order to examine the validity of
the prevailing concept regarding the number of doublings and the draft distribution
between breaker & finisher draw-frame extensive trials were taken and it is found that
reduced draft at breaker and the remaining draft at finisher draw-frame the quality of
yarn improves significantly. The project aims at standardization
of extraction, clean-up and analytical method for testing trace levels of residual
pesticide content on cotton samples. A variety of cotton sample from different regions
will be collected and analysed for their residual pesticide content. A suitable method for analysis of
textile samples for presence of toxic arylamines released from banned azo dyes and
pentachlorophenol content has been developed using new instrumental technique HPTLC
acquired by the laboratory recently. The conventional physico-chemical
and bichemical methods of treatment of waste water does not remove BOD completely. However
for recycling of waste water in addition to the other process requirements. Complete BOD
removal is also necessary like arc trying to achieve the same by use of chemical oxidising
agents. This would not only remove BOD but also odour and improve transparency of the
treated water. A suitable method is being developed
for effective removal of toxic heavy metals from textile effluents. Chemical treatment is
being combined with ion-exchange/adsorption process. These heavy metals include As, Cd,
Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb & Zn. The emphasis is being given on As, Cr, Hg & Pb which
are highly toxic and kill the aquatic life if discharged into surface water. Sludge samples from effluent
treatments of textile industries are being collected and analysed for their
physico-chemical properties to device a suitable method other than landfill because the
cost of landfill site is high and is expected to further rise in future. Their calorific
value and other properties are being investigated to recycle them as fuel, making of brick
etc. There is a general feeling amongst
synthetic fibre users that there hardly exists any variation in various properties of
synthetic fibres but surveys conducted in the past have clearly shown that there is a
considerable variation in most of t he properties. Since last such survey was conducted
many years ago and a lot of technological developments have also taken place in the area
of fibre manufacturing, there is an urgent need to assess the present status. In this
survey, various synthetic fibres like polyester, viscose, Acrylic etc. will be covered and
tested for various properties like length, denier, tenacity & crimp. Mill can send t
heir representative samples to NITRA to participate in this survey. The charges are kept
very low @ 200/- per samples. In this project the Ministry of
Power, Govt. of India has deputed energy management center to develop lead agencies for
carrying out energy management studies for the benefit of the industries as well as to
nation also. NITRA has been selected as one of the lead agencies. Under this project
elaborate classroom training, practical training through national consultants, mobile
energy van with lot of sophisticated measuring instruments etc. were provided and now all
the lead agencies (including NITRA) have developed well and they are giving useful
services time to time. The energy management center, Ministry of Power is reviewing the
progress of the lead agencies. In this project our main objective are

formed who would in turn identity the main areas of savings, would draw targets. Chalk out
action plan monitoring procedures and systems to keep this endeavour going continuously
year to year.
Recycling of Soft Waste in Textile Mills
* Mixing of soft waste in the cotton leads to
deterioration in yarn quality significantly and influence the productivity too.
* If all the soft waste generated is processed
separately in blow-room with minimum no. of beating points and card and blend it at
Draw-frame stage with virgin mixing, it not only improves the yarn quality but it also
prevent the cards to get damaged from metallic parts which may present in the soft waste.
