Abstract

Water-insoluble natural colored compounds adsorbed or chemically bound on cellulosic fabrics were bleached effectively at room temperature by a selective photolysis of the colored compounds using various excimer lasers (ArF, KrF, XeCl, XeF), a low-pressure mercury lamp, and a black-light fluorescent lamp in the presence of aqueous solutions of various reducing reagents. Sodium borohydride gave the best efficiency on the bleaching when KrF, XeCl, XeF excimer lasers or a low-pressure mercury lamp were used as light sources and the efficiency of the bleaching was found to be comparable to that of the conventional thermal bleaching processes.
