PRODUCTION OF BLEACH SOLUTION AND COMPARATIVE STUDY OF COMMERCIALLY PRODUCED BLEACH SOLUTION

ABSTRACT
Bleaching is the process in which net oral colouring matter is removed from a fiber, yana or fabries. It ranges from simple to complex type depending on the
ingredeient moderal the bleach solution chosen in this research work is oxochtorale: (i) acid solution (Hocl). The bleach was produced when 100mls of
hydrochloric acid was pound into the flask and 20g of potassium tetraozo magnate (vii) was also put into the round bottom flask. The flask containing the Hcl
was connected into one of the opening, so that the Hcl ran into the round flask to make contact with the potassium tetraoxomaganate (vii) Kmno4. The
chlorine gas was liberated and passed on till the water became saturated form exochlorate (i) acid, which is the bleach solution. This is an oxidative process.
The equation is thus:
ch(g)+ H2O (L) Hoclca2)+ Hcl(og).
The oxochlorate (i) acid formed is an eective
bleaching agent. The bleach produced was compared with commercially produced bleach. The control bleach used was Jik a product of PZ Nigeria plc. The result sowed that there was significant dierence between the laboratory produced bleach and the
commercially produced bleach solution.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Bleaching is a process in which natural colouring matter is removed from a fiber to make it white. This process can be extended to other uses for example, in
yarn or fabrics or in pulp and paper industries where cellulose used in making paper is bleached to white. Bleach solution can also be defined as any solution
that is capable of bleaching colouring matters. Bleach solution ranges from simple to complex types in various trade names like parazone, Jik etc. They completely depend on the makes up of the ingredient materials.
