Chemical Processing of Natural and Synthetic Fibres: Environmental Impact, Challenges and Sustainable Alternatives Jothi Jerald, Pachiyappan KM, Manikandan Dhayalan Journal of the Textile Association, 2025 The textile industry is one of the most resourceintensive and chemically driven manufacturing sectors worldwide, significantly contributing to both global economic output and environmental degradation. Chemical processing of fibres –covering pretreatment, dyeing, printing, and finishing-play a vital role in giving functionality, color, and performance to natural and synthetic textiles. However, these quantities of water, energy, and chemicals, often leading to high levels of effluent toxicity, air emissions, and solid waste. Conventional wet processing methods, especially those involving reactive and disperse dyes, release hazardous organic compounds, heavy metals, and salts into aquatic environments, posing long-term ecological and human health risks. This review critically examines the environmental impact of chemical processing across fibre types such as cotton, wool, silk, polyester and nylon. It highlights sources of pollution, degradation pathways, and their persistence in ecosystems. The study also explores recent advances in sustainable processing, including enzymatic desizing, plasma and supercritical CO treatment, low-liquor-ratio dyeing, and nanomaterial-assisted finishing. Life 2 cycle assessments and green chemistry approaches are discussed as essential tools for reducing environmental burdens. The review concludes that adopting clean technologies, process automation, and circular economy principles can markedly lessen the ecological impacts of textile chemical processing. Transitioning toward closed-loop, energy-efficient, and biodegradable systems is vital for aligning the textile industry with sustainable development goals and safety standards
Performance evaluation of a mechanical ventilation simulation model for diverse respiratory complications Chetan Mahatme, Jayant Giri, Hamad A. Al-Lohedan, Faruq Mohammad, Neeraj Sunheriya, et al. Aip Advances, 2024 Medical life-saving techniques include mechanical ventilation. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the lack of inexpensive, precise, and accessible mechanical ventilation equipment was the biggest challenge. The global need exploded, especially in developing nations. Global researchers and engineers are developing inexpensive, portable medical ventilators. A simpler mechanical ventilator system with a realistic lungs model is simulated in this work. A systematic ventilation study is done using the dynamic simulation of the model. Simulation findings of various medical disorders are compared to standard data. The maximum lung pressure (Pmax) was 15.78 cmH2O for healthy lungs, 17.72 for cardiogenic pulmonary edema, 16.05 for pneumonia, 19.74 for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), 17.1 for AECOPD, 19.64 for asthma, and 15.09 for acute intracranial illnesses and head traumas. All were below 30 cmH2O, the average maximum pressure. The computed maximum tidal volume (TDVmax) is 0.5849 l, substantially lower than that of the healthy lungs (0.700 l). The pneumonia measurement was 0.4256 l, substantially lower than the typical 0.798 l. TDVmax was 0.3333 l for ARDS, lower than the usual 0.497 l. The computed TDVmax for AECOPD was 0.6084 l, lower than the normal 0.700 l. Asthma had a TDVmax of 0.4729 l, lower than the typical 0.798 l. In individuals with acute cerebral diseases and head traumas, TDVmax is 0.3511 l, lower than the typical 0.700 l. The results show the viability of the model as it performs accurately to the presented medical condition parameters. Further clinical trials are needed to assess the safety and reliability of the simulation model.
