In today's textile industry, sustainable development has become a core issue. With the rapid development of the fashion industry, the amount of waste textiles continues to increase, among which protein fibers such as wool and silk have attracted much attention due to their biological characteristics. Traditional recycling methods often struggle to balance efficiency and environmental protection, while enzyme treatment technology, as an innovative solution, is bringing new changes to this field. This article will delve into the application of HEPES-NA buffer in the enzymatic treatment and recycling of waste textile protein fibers, revealing how it improves treatment efficiency and sustainability, and looking forward to the future development of the industry.

HEPES-NA buffer

1、 The challenges of recycling waste textiles and the value of enzyme treatment technology

Protein fibers such as wool and silk have complex structural characteristics, and traditional chemical treatment methods can easily cause fiber damage, affecting the quality of recycled products. Enzyme treatment technology can decompose protein fibers under mild conditions by using specific biocatalysts, achieving efficient resource recycling. The advantage of this method lies in its specificity and environmental friendliness, but enzymatic reactions require high stability of the reaction environment, especially pH fluctuations that directly affect enzyme activity and treatment efficiency. Therefore, finding a suitable buffer system has become the key to improving enzyme treatment efficiency.

2、 HEPES-NA: Stability guarantee for enzyme treatment process

HEPES-NA, as an excellent buffering agent, has a wide range of applications in the field of biochemistry. It exhibits special value in the protein fiber enzyme treatment process, effectively maintaining the reaction system within a suitable pH range and creating a favorable environment for enzyme action. Compared with other buffering agents, HEPES-NA has better chemical stability and biocompatibility, and will not have adverse interactions with other components in the reaction system. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for enzymatic processing of textiles, helping to improve processing efficiency while maintaining the original properties of the fibers.

3、 Performance of HEPES-NA in practical applications

In practical applications, HEPES-NA has demonstrated significant advantages. Experimental results from multiple research institutions have shown that the degradation efficiency of protein fibers is significantly improved in enzyme treatment systems using HEPES-NA as a buffer. For example, when dealing with waste wool textiles, HEPES-NA can help maintain the active state of proteases, making fiber decomposition more complete and uniform. Similarly, when processing silk textiles, HEPES-NA also exhibits good stability, which helps to obtain better quality recycled products. These practical cases fully demonstrate the important value of HEPES-NA in the field of textile recycling.

4、 Future prospects and industry opportunities

With the deepening of the concept of sustainable development and the promotion of circular economy, textile recycling technology will usher in a broader development space. HEPES-NA, as a key additive in enzyme treatment, has promising application prospects. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous optimization of processes, HEPES-NA is expected to play an important role in more textile recycling scenarios.
