摘要
Glucose oxidase enzymes were used to produce hydrogen peroxide from glucose and oxygen in aqueous solutions. Different working conditions, that is, temperature, aeration with liquefied air, presence of cotton fibre and time of enzyme activity, were tested in order to obtain a solution with the highest possible concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide produced was transformed into different peracids which could bleach the cotton fabric under mild conditions, at a pH between 7 and 8 and at a temperature of around 60 degrees C. The conversion or activation of hydrogen peroxide was conducted with the bleach activators TAED, NOBS and TBBC. The concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and peracids in the solutions were measured with sodium thiosulphate titrations. %26lt;br%26gt;The results indicated that the formation of hydrogen peroxide with glucose oxidase was effective under optimal conditions, which are 50 degrees C, pH 4.6 and aeration. Convenient activators for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into peracids were TAED and TBBC, which enabled attainment of a relatively high degree of whiteness at pH 7.5 and temperature 50 degrees C. Using the activator NOBS under these conditions did not provide enough peracid to markedly improve whiteness.
