Why does cotton wool in cotton turn yellow?

(1) Mix old bleached cotton. Old tattered cotton (so-called ancient cotton) is bleached and mixed with normal cotton to confuse the real with the fake. We should pay attention to three points in identifying it: ① color. The white color of normal cotton is natural, while the white color of bleached old cotton is false. 2 luster. Normal cotton fiber has the natural luster of waxy layer, while bleached old cotton has no luster. ③ Elasticity. Normal cotton has good hand elasticity, while bleached old cotton has poor elasticity. (2) Blended regenerated cotton. Regenerated cotton is the waste of cotton mills, cotton cloth and other things, which is regenerated by cutting and carding. Identification should also use comparative methods: ① Look at the appearance. Regenerated cotton is cotton wool, and the fiber is comfortable, but the length is very different, which is different from the natural appearance of normal cotton fiber. ② When the regenerated cotton is pulled by hand, there are long fibers in the cotton bundle, which are mixed regenerated chemical fibers. It has high strength and is not easy to break. ③ Observe cotton under ultraviolet light. If there are many colors such as yellow and blue, they are produced by chemical fibers in recycled cotton, but normal cotton does not have this color. (3) Blended cotton staple fiber.

The color of normal cotton fiber is white, which is different from the white of cotton linter. ③ Elasticity. After adding cotton linters, the elasticity of cotton becomes worse. (4) When the cotton bundle is pulled by hand, the fiber layer before the bundle is obviously shortened, which is inconsistent with the normal cotton fiber.
