Reduction of water solids contributions to apparent cotton dust levels through use of special water in atomizers

摘要

A method of treating the water supplied for humidification of the textile processing room environment (e.g. weaving room) results in reduced apparent cotton dust concentrations, while maintaining or increasing processing efficiency. The water supplied to the humidification system for the processing environment is pure water, such as reverse osmosis water, distilled water, deionized water, demineralized water, etc. Humidification is primarily achieved utilizing atomizers, and a pure water supply can be generated on-site by treating tap water with conventional deionizers or demineralizers.
