Abstract
Thermal decomposition of untreated and treated cotton fabric was performed in oxidative and inert atmospheres using TGA-FTIR. Cotton fabric samples treated with selected alkali, alkaline earth and other inorganic salts are compared and contrasted to untreated and acid-washed samples. Cations and anions were varied. Sample weight loss with temperature and decomposition products depend on the type of treatment. Cations of alkali metals impart a different decomposition route compared to alkaline earth or transition metal cations.
