The obtained data, Fig. 1, showed that the Zr-content of premordanted
pique fabric samples has a linear relation with the
concentration of Zr-salt in the pre-mordanting solution as a consequence
of in situ deposition and fixation of Zr-oxide onto and/or
within the pique structure after subsequent treatments with alkali
(to give Zr-hydroxide), followed by H2O2 (to give Zr-oxide).
