  2. Textile bleaching - Wikipedia

    This disrupted the English silk and wool trades [19] and an act of parliament, the Encouragement of Manufactures Act 1698 (11 Will. 3. c. 10), was passed that prohibited the wearing of printed calicos manufactured in China, India or Persia. [20] This inadvertently established a calico bleaching and printing industry using unbleached Indian calico.

  3. Halogen addition reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_addition_reaction

    A halogen addition reaction is a simple organic reaction where a halogen molecule is added to the carbon–carbon double bond of an alkene functional group. [1] The general chemical formula of the halogen addition reaction is: C=C + X 2 → X−C−C−X (X represents the halogens bromine or chlorine, and in this case, a solvent could be CH 2 ...

  4. Scouring (textiles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouring_(textiles)

    [26] [27] Wool scouring is the next process after the woollen fleece of a sheep is cut off. [28] Raw wool is also known as ''Greasy wool.'' "Grease" or "yolk'' is a combined form of dried sweat, oil and fatty matter. [29] Lanolin is the major component (5-25%) of raw wool which is a waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool ...

  5. Free-radical halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_halogenation

    The relative rates at which different halogens react vary considerably: [citation needed] fluorine (108) > chlorine (1) > bromine (7 × 10 −11) > iodine (2 × 10 −22).. Radical fluorination with the pure element is difficult to control and highly exothermic; care must be taken to prevent an explosion or a runaway reaction.

  6. Chlorine-releasing compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine-releasing_compounds

    Chlorine is a respiratory irritant that attacks mucous membranes and burns the skin. As little as 3.53 ppm can be detected as an odor, and 1000 ppm is likely to be fatal after a few deep breaths. Exposure to chlorine has been limited to 0.5 ppm (8-hour time-weighted average—38-hour week) by the U.S. OSHA. [9]

  7. Organochlorine chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organochlorine_chemistry

    The haloform reaction, using chlorine and sodium hydroxide, is also able to generate alkyl halides from methyl ketones, and related compounds. Chloroform was formerly produced thus. [citation needed] Chlorine adds to the multiple bonds on alkenes and alkynes as well, giving di- or tetra-chloro compounds. [citation needed]

  8. Interhalogen - Wikipedia

    It has the same molecular shape as chlorine trifluoride. Iodine trifluoride (IF 3) is a yellow solid that decomposes above −28 °C. It can be synthesised from the elements, but care must be taken to avoid the formation of IF 5. F 2 attacks I 2 to yield IF 3 at −45 °C in CCl 3 F. Alternatively, at low temperatures, the fluorination reaction

  9. Hypochlorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochlorite

    Hypochlorite salts formed by the reaction between chlorine and alkali and alkaline earth metal hydroxides. The reaction is performed at close to room temperature to suppress the formation of chlorates. This process is widely used for the industrial production of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO) 2).
