1. Ekološke alternative v konvencionalnem postopku barvanja z reaktivnimi barviliSonja Šostar-Turk, Reinhold Schneider, Irena Petrinić, Rebeka Fijan, 2008, original scientific article Abstract: V raziskavi smo v tekstilni tovarni izbrali dve recepturi za barvanje bombažne tkanine z reaktivnimi barvili ter proučili količino in kakovost tekstilnih pomožnih sredstev. Recepture smo modificirali, da bi nevarne kemikalije nadomestili z ekološko prijaznejšimi produkti. KPK vrednosti so pokazale nižjo obremenitev izpiralnih odpadnih voda po barvanju bombaža z modificirano recepturo, kakor tudi višjo biorazgradljivost v primerjavi z izpiralnimi odpadnimi vodami po barvanju bombaža z nemodificirano recepturo, pri čemer je obstojnost barv ostala nespremenjena. Razen tega smo izvedli izboljšanje konvencionalnega izpiranja bombaža, barvanega z reaktivnimi barvili, po modificirani recepturi z uporabo inventivne tehnologije, imenovane "vroče pranje". Pri kontroli izpiralnega procesa se je pokazal prevladujoč vpliv temperature na lastnosti izpiranja barvila. Uporaba procesa "vročega pranja" po reaktivnem barvanju pomeni prihranek vode in časa ter izboljšanje barvnih obstojnosti.

2. Rheological study of interactions between non-ionic surfactants and polysaccharide thickeners used in textile printingRebeka Fijan, Sonja Šostar-Turk, Romano Lapasin, 2007, original scientific article Abstract: The influence of four non-ionic surfactants (isododecyl and cetyl polyoxyethylene ethers) on aqueous polysaccharide solutions (sodium alginate, guar gum, and sodium carboxymethyl guar), applicable for textile printing pastes, were studied via rheological measurements. Rheology of polysaccharide-surfactant solutions in aqueous matrices is primarily governed by polymer content, which imparts marked shear-thinning and viscoelastic character to the system. Such properties are modulated in moderate but sensible way by changes in surfactant concentration or type. Above 3% surfactants addition to non-substituted guar gum solutions results in a significant impact leading to phase separation and a particular strongly associated phase is formed due to hydrogen bonds between ethylene oxy units from the surfactant and primary hydroxyl groups in guar. A satisfactory fitting of viscosity data is obtained with both the Cross equation and the Roberts-Barnes-Carew model. The experimental results of mechanical spectra can be described quite satisfactory with both the Friedrich-Braun and the generalized Maxwell models.

3. Implementing sustainable laundering procedures for textiles in a commercial laundry and thus decreasing wastewater burdenSabina Fijan, Rebeka Fijan, Sonja Šostar-Turk, 2008, original scientific article Abstract: This paper presents a research on how to optimize a laundering program to reduce wastewater burden thus achieving a more sustainable laundering procedure. A green surgical textiles program was investigated and the first step of optimization was performed based on the results of measuring certain parameters in the water taken from individual chambers. The wastewater parameters were reduced after optimization of the program although effluent treatment plants for water reuse remain necessary. An experimental laundering procedure with a high dosage of sodium hypochlorite was also conducted in order to observe a correlation between measured values of active chlorine and conductivity. As an approximate correlation was found this could result in thepossibility of incorporating a sensor in the washing machine measuring online the conductivity with the possibility of regulating the dosage of sodium hypochlorite and thus preventing overdosing, which increases the damages of the laundered textiles and the burden of wastewater.
