In optics, photobleaching (sometimes termed fading) is the photochemical alteration of a dye or a fluorophore molecule such that it is permanently unable to fluoresce.

  4. Hypochlorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochlorite

    In chemistry, hypochlorite, or chloroxide is an anion with the chemical formula ClO −. It combines with a number of cations to form hypochlorite salts. Common examples include sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) and calcium hypochlorite (a component of bleaching powder, swimming pool "chlorine"). [1] The Cl-O distance in ClO − is 1.69 Å ...

    [44] [45] It may be made by diluting household bleach as appropriate (normally 1 part bleach to 9 parts water). [46] Such solutions have been demonstrated to inactivate both C. difficile [44] and HPV. [47] "Weak chlorine solution" is a 0.05% solution of hypochlorite used for washing hands, but is normally prepared with calcium hypochlorite ...

    The textile bleaching (or bleaching of textiles) is one of the steps in the textile manufacturing process. The objective of bleaching is to remove the natural color for the following steps such as dyeing or printing or to achieve full white. [1] All raw textile materials, when they are in natural form, are known as 'greige' material. They have ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine-releasing_compounds

    The hypochlorites in liquid bleach and bleaching powder can react with ammonia to form a number of products, including monochloramine (NH 2 Cl), then dichloramine (NHCl 2) and finally nitrogen trichloride (NCl 3). Similar reactions may occur with amines or related compounds and biological materials (such as urine). The result depends on the ...

    Detergents. A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleansing properties when in dilute solutions. [1] There are a large variety of detergents. A common family is the alkylbenzene sulfonates, which are soap-like compounds that are more soluble than soap in hard water, because the polar sulfonate is less likely than the polar carboxylate of soap to bind to calcium and other ...
