Researchers at the Department of Chemistry in Calicut University in Kerala have come up with a new approach to ‘size’ and ‘desize’ cotton and polyester yarns through a dry process using liquid and super critical carbon dioxide (scCO2).

After the weaving process the yarn has to be desized by washing it with water which requires up to 2,500-21,000 litres for 1,000 kg of cotton yarn and drying it involves an energy intensive process.

In a major research finding that would go a long way in conserving water in the water-intensive textile industry, researchers at Calicut University have come up with an eco-friendly process for manufacturing yarns.
