overview | the use of peroxide bleach such as hydrogen peroxide in laundry is a known technology. This peroxygen bleach can be used at high temperatures and can effectively bleach tea, coffee, wine and fruits. However, below 60°C, the effect of the peroxygen bleach is greatly reduced. It is also known that transition metal ions catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and peroxides that produce hydrogen peroxide, such as sodium perborate and sodium percarbonate. The problems causing fiber damage and dye decolorization were solved with cobalt amine complexes and hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide producing compounds. In order to achieve good bleaching using the complexes as described above, hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidizing agent or a peroxide of hydrogen peroxide is generated in an aqueous solution, which causes fiber damage and dye decolorization while increasing the bleaching ability. |
use | pentammine complex cobalt (III) chloride and hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide producing compounds can be used to solve the problem of fiber damage and dye decolorization. |
