국산 모시섬유의 침지조건에 관한 실험적 연구 = An Experimental Study of Retting Conditions of Domestic Ramie Fiber

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We investigated the bacterial and chemical retting conditions of ramie grown in Hansan Bacterial retting was done in troughs at a temperature of 30±2℃ for 1, 2. 3, 4. 5, 6 and 10 days. Chemical retting(CR) was done at the different conditions using sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). sodium carbonate(Na2CO3) and sodium hydroxide(Na0H) as aikali solutions. The retting solution was boiled during 1. 2, 4 and 6 hours respectively at the different concentration(0.5. 2.0, 4.0. 6.0. 8.0 %) with decorticated ramie stems submerged in it. The treated ramie was then rinsing with running tap water thoroughly, which was further soaker in 0.5% acetic acid (v/v) solution for three minutes and washed thoroughly with distilled water. Finally ramie was dried for 2 hours in vacuum oven at 100℃. To know change of ramie fiber characteristics retted at the dfferent conditions, weight loss, fiber bundle strength were tested and color. texture, luster etc. were also sensually evaluated. The results were as follows. · Weight loss of ramie retted in each alkali solutions were about 10%. 20% and 30% in sodium silicate, sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide, respectively. · Chemical retting was faster than bacterial retting, but the color of chemically retted ramies were worse than that of bacterially retted ramies. · The combination of bacterial and chemical processing showed some merits. A combination of either 2 or 3 days of bacterial and then chemical tetting might provide the best quality ramie. · Rarme fiber became cottonized ramie when retted in 8% NaOH solution for 6-8hours.
