Abstract
Cotton is the most commonly used natural textile fiber for humans, and fire protection is essential during transport, storage, and production. However, certain fabrics have a comparatively high-temperature emission and adsorb moisture from the air, leading to cotton smoldering in the textile industry. Hence, in this paper, Hybridized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (HFTIS) method has been proposed to identify the fire behavior and thermal degradation products. Firstly, the fibers spectra have been obtained, and then spectral information is established to define and classify the connection between the vibrations of characteristic chemical groups and the corresponding wavelengths. The HFTIS method aims to progress the gas analysis of smoke gases and a reliable approach for the toxic component determination in combustion gases related to fire test situations. The simulation analysis of the measurements specified that HFTIS provides a performance ratio of 95.4%, prediction ratio of 96.1%, reliability 96.6%, accuracy ratio of 97.8%, and smoldering spread rate of 15.5% compared to other existing methods.
