Low-temperature bleaching of cotton induced by glucose oxidase enzymes and hydrogen peroxide activators was written by Tavccer, Petra Forte. And the article was included in Biocatalysis and Biotransformation in 2012.Computed Properties of C10H16N2O4 This article mentions the following:
Glucose oxidase enzymes were used to produce hydrogen peroxide from glucose and oxygen in aqueous solutions Different working conditions, i.e., temperature, aeration with liquefied air, presence of cotton fiber and time of enzyme activity, were tested in order to obtain a solution with the highest possible concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide produced was transformed into different peracids which could bleach the cotton fabric under mild conditions, at a pH between 7 and 8 and at a temperature of around 60°C. The conversion or activation of hydrogen peroxide was conducted with the bleach activators TAED, NOBS and TBBC. The concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and peracids in the solutions were measured with sodium thiosulfate titrations The results indicated that the formation of hydrogen peroxide with glucose oxidase was effective under optimal conditions, which are 50°C, pH 4.6 and aeration. Convenient activators for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into peracids were TAED and TBBC, which enabled attainment of a relatively high degree of whiteness at pH 7.5 and temperature 50°C. Using the activator NOBS under these conditions did not provide enough peracid to markedly improve whiteness. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, N,N-(Ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(N-acetylacetamide) (cas: 10543-57-4Computed Properties of C10H16N2O4).
N,N-(Ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(N-acetylacetamide) (cas: 10543-57-4) belongs to amides. In primary and secondary amides, the presence of N–H dipoles allows amides to function as H-bond donors as well. Thus amides can participate in hydrogen bonding with water and other protic solvents; the oxygen atom can accept hydrogen bonds from water and the N–H hydrogen atoms can donate H-bonds. Amides can be freed from solvent or water by drying below their melting points. These purifications can also be used for sulfonamides and acid hydrazides.Computed Properties of C10H16N2O4
