The application fields of cotton, what are the uses of cotton

1. Textile. 1. Cotton fibers in cotton.

It can be spun into all kinds of clothes, furniture fabrics and industrial fabrics.

2. It has the advantages of wear resistance, high temperature resistance, moisture absorption block, dehumidification block, etc., and after other finishing processes, it can also reduce the shrinkage rate of fabric washing, so that the shrinkage rate does not exceed 1%.

Second, the source of honey. 1. There are three kinds of nectar glands in the leaf veins, bracts and flowers in cotton, and the nectar glands in the leaf veins will secrete honey first after flowering, and the large nectar period is about 40 days.

2. Due to the rapid growth of cotton planting area in the country, cotton has become the main source of honey in summer and autumn in some provinces and regions.

3. Chinese herbal medicines.

Cotton is dried after being harvested in autumn and can be used as a Chinese medicinal material.

Fourth, flowers. When cotton is ripe in autumn, the branches of cotton can be cut off for flowers, and eucalyptus can be used.

It can also be used as a dried flower after the leaves.

Cultivation. 5. Absorbent cotton.

After removing inclusions, degreasing, bleaching, washing, drying and finishing of cotton, cotton can be made into absorbent cotton, which can be used in the pharmaceutical industry.

6. Agriculture. 1. The residue after cotton oil extraction can be mixed with livestock and poultry manure and straw in a ratio of 1:3:6, and used as fertilizer after fermentation.

2. The residue after cotton oil extraction is rich in crude fiber.

It can be processed and used as livestock feed.

7. Papermaking. 1. Cotton contains a lot of cellulose and a small amount of lignin.

Can be used for papermaking.

2. Due to the high cost of papermaking and cumbersome process, it is not common in daily life, but is mostly used to print banknotes.

8. Lubricating oil.

The seeds of cotton contain oil and oil, which can be used as lubricating oil after refining.

Textile use: cotton fiber can be made into a variety of different specifications of fabrics; Cotton can be used to make all kinds of clothes, furniture fabrics, industrial fabrics, and its products have the characteristics of strong and wear-resistant, and can be repeatedly washed and ironed; After processing through other processes, the cotton fabric can achieve the effect of anti-fouling, waterproof and mildew-proof, and can also improve the wrinkle resistance of the fabric. Oil Uses:

Cotton seeds can be used to make cottonseed oil, and the cake residue or seed kernel can also be used as feed for poultry and livestock.

Textile use: cotton fiber.

It can be made into a variety of different specifications of fabrics; Cotton can be used to make all kinds of clothes, furniture fabrics, industrial fabrics, and its products have the characteristics of strong and wear-resistant, and can be repeatedly washed and ironed; After processing through other processes, the cotton fabric can achieve the effect of anti-fouling, waterproof and mildew-proof, and can also improve the wrinkle resistance of the fabric. Oil use: cotton seeds can be used to make cottonseed oil.

The crumbs or seeds can also be used as feed for poultry and livestock.

First, textile use

1. Cotton fibers can be made into a variety of fabrics of different specifications (from light and transparent voile to thick canvas and thick velveteen can be made from cotton).

2. Cotton can be used to make all kinds of clothes, furniture fabrics and industrial fabrics, clothes and fabrics made of cotton have the characteristics of firm and wear-resistant, and can be repeatedly washed and ironed (ironed at high temperatures), and because it can quickly absorb and dehumidify, it will be more comfortable to wear.

3. Through other finishing processes, the cotton fabric can achieve the effect of anti-fouling, waterproof and mildew-proof, and at the same time improve the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (reduce the number of ironing of the cotton fabric, or even make it not need to be ironed, and at the same time can also reduce the shrinkage rate of the fabric when it is washed, so that the shrinkage rate does not exceed 1%).

Second, the use of oil

1. Cotton seeds can be used to make cottonseed oil, which can be used to make salad oil and edible oil.

When hydrogenated, it can also be used to make ghee and margarine.

The cake scraps or seed kernels after oil extraction can also be used as feed for poultry and livestock.

2. About 100 million liters of cottonseed oil are used every year to produce food, such as fries, butter, and salad dressings.

Third, the use of honey source

1. The cotton plant has three kinds of nectar glands in the leaf veins, bracts and flowers (the nectar glands in the leaf veins will secrete nectar before the plant blooms), so it can be used as a nectar source plant.

2. The flowering period of cotton planted in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is generally from late July to early September, the flowering period of cotton planted in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is generally from early July to early August, and the flowering period of cotton planted in Turpan, Xinjiang is generally from mid-July to early September.

<> textile function: make fabrics of various specifications, such as clothes, furniture fabrics, industrial fabrics, etc.

Oil crops: Cottonseed can be pressed to produce cottonseed oil, which is used as industrial lubricants and fuels.

Nectar source plants: Cotton is an important nectar source for bees to collect nectar in summer and autumn in some provinces and regions.

Grow mushrooms, make alcohol, etc.: cottonseed husk is used as a culture medium, which can grow mushrooms, and through deep processing, it can also produce alcohol, furfural, glycerin and other products.

Decorative materials and packaging materials: cotton stalks can be used as fiberboard, veneer, etc.

First, the role of textiles

1. Cotton is the most important raw material in the textile industry, which can be made into fabrics of various specifications, suitable for making all kinds of clothes, furniture fabrics and industrial fabrics, and can also be used as filling materials for daily warm items, such as quilts, mattresses, etc.

2. Clothes and fabrics made of cotton are strong and wear-resistant, can be washed repeatedly, ironed at high temperatures, moisture absorption and dehumidification are fast, plus other finishing processes, but also make cotton fabrics anti-fouling, waterproof and mildew-proof, improve the anti-wrinkle performance of the fabric, make cotton fabrics less hot or even no need to iron, reduce the shrinkage of fabrics when washing, and make the shrinkage rate not exceed 1%.

2. Oil crops

Cottonseed can be pressed for oil to produce cottonseed oil, or industrial lubricants and used as fuel. Cottonseed oil can be used to make edible oil and salad oil, and after hydrogenation, it can also be used to make ghee and margarine, and the cottonseed cake can also be used as feed for poultry and livestock and as a raw material for the food industry.

3. Nectar source plants

There are three kinds of nectar glands in the leaf veins, bracts and flowers in cotton, and the nectar glands in the leaf veins often secrete nectar before flowering, and the flowering period is long, and the cotton planting area is large, and some provinces and regions have actively promoted biological control technology, so that cotton is called an important nectar source for local bees to collect nectar in summer and autumn.

Fourth, grow mushrooms, make alcohol, etc

Cottonseed husk is a natural medium for cultivating a variety of mushrooms, and many common edible mushrooms are grown from cottonseed husk. After deep processing, cottonseed husk can also produce alcohol, furfural, acetone, glycerin, plant hormones and other products.

5. Decoration materials and packaging materials

Cotton stalks can continue to be used as raw materials for the manufacture of fiberboard and veneer for decoration and decoration, and as kraft cartons for express delivery.

Sixth, cut flowers

Cotton can also be used as flower arrangement, cut the branches of cotton for flowers after cotton is mature, and can also be used as dried flower cultivation after eucalyptus leaves.
