Lecture 5 dyeing of cotton with reactive dyes
2 likes441 views
The document discusses the discovery and development of reactive dyes for dyeing cotton fabrics. Reactive dyes were discovered in 1956 and allow for covalent bonding between dye molecules and cellulose fibers. They are classified as mono-functional or bi-functional depending on whether they contain one or two reactive groups. Common reactive groups include dichlorotriazine, monochlorotriazine, and vinyl sulphone. The document also describes different dyeing methods for reactive dyes such as batch, pad-batch, pad-dry, and pad-dry-bake and provides statistics on global cotton dyeing with reactive dyes.

- 9. CLASSIFICATION BIFUNCTIONAL REACTIVE DYES RECENTLY INTRODUCED PRESENCE OF TWO REACTIVE GROUPS OF SAME TYPE (MONO OR DIDCHLORO TRIAZINE) OR DIFFERENT TYPES (MONOCHLORO TRIAZINE AND VINYL SULPHONE AT TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN THE DYE MOLECULE. THESE DYES ALSO CALLED AS HE DYES SHOW HIGH EXHAUSTION, HIGH FIXATION BETTER COLOUR YIELD REDUCED POLLUTION: LESS DYE IN EFFLUENT VERY POPULAR FOR EXHAUST DYEING. HIGH EXHAUSTION IS DUE TO HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT SIMILAR TO DIRECT DYES, HIGH AFFINITY TO COTTON REACT WITH CELLULOSE WITH CROSS LINK FORMATION.

WASHING OFF AFTER DYEING EFFECTIVE WASHING AFTER DYEING IS VERY ESSENTIAL FOR THE COMPLETE REMOVAL OF UNREACTED DYE UNREACTED DYE IF NOT REMOVED GIVES FALSE INDICATION OF LOW WASH FASTNESS RINSE 2-3 TIMES WITH FRESH WATER AT 50-60 0 C SOAP AT BOIL FOR 15-30 MIN. USING EASILY RINSABLE DETERGENT RINSE WITH COLD WATER UNTILL THE RINSED WATER IS COLOURLESS OR SLIGHTLY TINTED
- 16. AFTER TREATMENT IN THE DYEING OF DEEP SHADES OR INEFFICIENT WASHING EQUIPMENT THERE MAY BE INCOMPLETE REMOVAL OF UNFIXED DYE AFTER TREATMENT WITH CATIONIC DYE FIXING AGENT INSOUBILIZES UNFIXED DYE IMPROVE WASH FASTNESS TREAT WITH 5-10 g/l CATIONIC DYE FIXING AGENT AT 50-60 0 C FOR 15-30 MIN. FINAL RINSE IS NOT ESSENTIAL. TREATMENT WITH DYE FIXING AGENT SHULD NEVER BE REGARDED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE MOST EFFICIENT WASHING OFF PROCESS

The corresponding amount of reactive dye used for cotton coloration is estimated to be 120,000 te p.a. Of this about two thirds is dyed by exhaust technology. Salient statistics, which follow from these figures, include: 4 x 106 te p.a. of cotton is exhaust dyed with reactive dyes; 4 x 108 te p.a. of fresh water is used in the overall process, and all of this is ultimately discarded in a contaminated state; 2.8 x 106 te p.a. of salt is used in the process; and all of this is ultimately discarded in the aqueous effluent; 8 x 104 te p.a. of reactive dye is applied, with an average fixation yield of 70%, thus: 2.4 x 104 te p.a. of dye is discarded in the aqueous effluent.
