Technical Abstract:
Enzymatic bio-processing of cotton generates significantly less hazardous wastewater effluents, which are readily biodegradable, but it also has several critical shortcomings that impede its acceptance by industries: expensive processing costs and slow reaction rates. It has been found that the introduction of a low energy, uniform ultrasound field into enzyme processing solutions greatly improved enzyme effectiveness by significantly increasing their reaction rate.
