Salt free neutral dyeing of cotton with anionic dyes using plasma and chitosan treatments
Environmentally friendly modification of cotton fibers with the aim of improvement of its dyeability with anionic dyes was the main purpose of the current study. Chitosan biopolymer was selected for introduction of cationic moieties to cotton fibers. Plasma treatment was employed to produce the functional sites for attachment of the chitosan to the surface of the fibers. In this study, chitosan was applied on cotton fabric using oxygen plasma pre-treatment. The presence of chitosan on the surface of cotton fibers was approved by SEM images. Untreated and chitosan treated cotton samples were dyed with acid and direct dyes. The effects of salt (sodium sulfate), dyeing time, and initial dye concentration on the color strength of raw and chitosan treated samples were studied.
Cationization of cotton for low-salt or salt-free dyeing
2001
Cotton acquires negative charge in aqueous med ium and thus repels negati vely charged dye ani on during dyeing. Such repul sion between fibre and dye is offset by using large quantity of salt in dye bath. particularly for reacti ve dyes. A low dye bath ex haustion also leads to low dye fixation of reactive dyes on cotton. Thus. the use of hi gh salt concentration and low reactive dye fixation lead to environmental problems related to hi ghly coloured efnu ent with high salt content. These problems can be overcome by improving the dye substantivity of cotton in the absence of salt or with low salt additions. One such approach is cation ization of cotton which is criti ca lly reviewed in the present paper. Majori ty of the chemica ls used for in troducing cat ionic si tes in cotton are themselves not sa fe environmentall y. Therefore. there is a need to explore the potentiality of the cationi za ti on route using eco fri endly chemicals. The use of chitosan. a polymer derived from ch...
