4.4 Savings and substitution of<br />
environmentally hazardous chemicals<br />
<strong>Technology</strong> <strong>Transfer</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Polish</strong> Chemical Producers and Demonstration of<br />
New Recipies in <strong>Polish</strong> Dye-houses<br />
John Hansen, DTI, Clothing and <strong>Textile</strong>, Denmark<br />
During <strong>the</strong> technology transfer programme a number of cases has been<br />
revealed, where chemicals are used which are harmful <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> environment.<br />
These are used because of <strong>the</strong>ir technical performance and <strong>the</strong> low price. The<br />
chemicals are often produced by <strong>Polish</strong> chemical producers, and are in some<br />
cases of a type which have an environmentally bad reputation, i.e. detergents<br />
based on APEO, fixation agents for direct dyes based on formaldehyde, reactive<br />
dyes with relatively low fixation rates.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> textile finishing companies questions about water are of major concern<br />
– rational use of water and waste-water treatment. <strong>Textile</strong> waste-water can<br />
contain a large number of environmentally harmful substances, such as:<br />
• inorganic ions (chloride, sulfate, sulfite and sulfide)<br />
• heavy metal ions<br />
• detergents<br />
• dye-stuffs<br />
• acids and bases<br />
• reduction and oxidation chemicals<br />
• certain finishing chemicals<br />
Below, a number of possible substitution projects is listed, which have been<br />
discussed with <strong>the</strong> participating companies and agreed upon at <strong>the</strong> seminar<br />
and later.<br />
Project content<br />
The programme falls in<strong>to</strong> three groups, which are linked <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r as indicated<br />
in <strong>the</strong> figure next page.<br />
A: Demonstration of substitution <strong>to</strong>ol in <strong>Polish</strong> dye-houses (score system).<br />
B: Supporting <strong>Polish</strong> production of more environmentally friendly textile<br />
chemicals and dye-stuffs.<br />
C: Specific demonstration projects on savings and substitutions.<br />
The following partners are expected <strong>to</strong> participate in <strong>the</strong> project:<br />
