Process for removing oxidizable fumes from heated air used to treat textile fibers
Abstract
Abstract In a process for heat treating textile filamentary structures having a textile finish containing oxidizable components wherein a portion of said components are undesirably vaporized, the improvement for removing at least a portion of said vaporized components comprising directing said components through a gaspermeable structure having an oxidation catalyst for said textile finish in a finely dispersed form on the structure to oxidize said components to a more desirable state at about the same temperature range used to treat the textile structure. Specific oxidation catalysts disclosed are palladium and platinum. The process can operate at extremely high space velocities making the process feasible from an economic viewpoint.
