52—AQUEOUS JET SCOURING OF RAW WOOL PART II: STUDIES OF LABORATORY-SCALE MULTI-STAGE SCOURING

Abstract
The jet and conventional immersion methods of wool scouring have been further studied by means of aqueous detergent systems in a laboratory-scale, multi-stage apparatus. On a cost basis, both methods gave similar results with alkaline scour liquors, whereas the jet method was inferior with neutral liquors. Wool scoured through four alkaline stages by the jet method was not significantly weaker than wool scoured through four neutral stages by the immersion method.
