Abstract
The thermal behaviour of wool, untreated and chlorinated to various extents, was investigated. The kinetic parameters of the water loss and pyrolysis processes were computed and, based on their values, the way chlorination treatment affects wool fibre is discussed. As it appears, the chlorination process affects the fibre only superficially and not its internal chemical composition, as the values of the kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition of wool fibre do not seem to be influenced at all by the treatment.
