Microwave Preparation : Low Waste Tool for Green Chemistry

The consumption of heat is usually encountered during many textile processes; namely drying, dye fixation, and finishing. Heat can be transferred to material by radiation, conduction, and convection. These three ways of transferring heat can be used either separately or in combination. Saving of time, energy and chemicals is of immediate interest to textile industry. The introduction of a new, economically-feasible, and ecologically alternative technique of heating in textile wet processing is of prime importance to reduce the consumption of energy, time and materials. Microwave is a very promising technology which finds new application in industry. It is a technology which can replace conventional heating in most of textile wet processes
