Turmeric Usage in Chemical Engineering
On the use of turmeric in chemical industry
Turmeric has many wonderful uses in the field of chemical industry.
Looking at its properties, turmeric contains unique ingredients. In chemical experiments, it can be used as an auxiliary agent for specific reactions by virtue of its composition characteristics. Cover because of some substances, it can promote the rate of specific chemical reactions, making the reaction process smoother, just like a boat traveling in water, with smooth wind to help, fast and stable.
Furthermore, turmeric has a bright color. When chemical production is related to the preparation of pigments, turmeric can be used as a natural color source. Based on it, through fine extraction and purification processes, pigments with pure color and excellent texture can be obtained. This pigment is used for coloring all kinds of products, with natural and environmental advantages, comparable to non-synthetic pigments. The durability and adhesion of its color are also remarkable, and it can be used in fabric printing and dyeing, ceramic color decoration and other industries.
And turmeric is also possible at the end of material modification. Incorporating turmeric extract into some chemical materials can improve the properties of materials. For example, to enhance the toughness of the material, it is not easy to break when it is stressed; or to improve the oxidation resistance of the material and prolong the service life of the material. It is like putting a protective armor on the material to resist external erosion.
In the chemical industry, the use of turmeric, either as an adjuvant, a color source, or for material modification, has made a significant contribution to the development of the chemical industry. It will be further explored by future generations to develop its potential.
