Environmental pollution is a critical problem for our planet. The pollution produced by the textile industry has an extensive influence on the world. Especially, textile dyeing and finishing industries can be important for environmental pollution. Dyestuffs, chemicals, auxiliaries, etc. are added into water baths for dyeing and/or finishing of textile materials. Furthermore, textile factories generally consume a large amount of water as well as electricity and also fuel during dyeing and/or finishing processes. Use of ultrasound technology in wet processes of textiles can be a solution to the considerable consumption of chemicals, water, energy, etc. Here in this chapter, ultrasonic cavitation is summarized in terms of the usages in wet processes of textiles. Ultrasound with its cavitation phenomenon in the bath can be defined as the main reasons for using them in the wet processes. In this respect, the main properties of ultrasound are defined, and then the usages and studies on the application of ultrasound technology in different wet processes of the textiles are summarized in this chapter. © 2021 Scrivener Publishing LLC. |
