Major Chemicals Used in Textile Wet Processing

Introduction: Chemical analysis always involves the use of different chemicals. In order to assure accurate analysis results, the chemicals used need to be standardised, the procedures must be followed exactly and the data obtained have to be analysed statistically. If an instrument is used, it should be maintained and calibrated properly. In a chemical analysis, especially involving quantitative analysis, the amount of chemical used is critical and can be determined by the measurement of concentration if it is a solution, or by weight, if it is a solid. Sometimes, the concentration of a solution can be easily determined by using another known solution through titration. For acids and bases, if the concentration is sufficiently low, the pH concept is generally used to represent the concentration of the acid or base in the aqueous solution. For the analysis of common chemicals, such as caustic soda, acetic acid, soda ash, sodium dithionite, hydrogen peroxide, and so on, titrimetr...
