“…People nowadays love to have a full range of colors in their wardrobe. This approach has created a significant demand for the production of colored fabrics using various types of synthetic dyes because of their wide ranges of color, excellent colorfastness properties, convenience, and color reproducibility [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Consequently, a huge amount of hazardous colored effluent is produced by the textile dyeing industry, which has been identified as one of the most polluting industries.…”

The aerial parts of the Argy Worm Wood (AWW) plant have been used in different Chinese foods as a colorant and a taste enhancer for a long time. Despite its application as a food colorant, it has rarely been considered for the coloration of textiles. Keeping in mind the variation in color strength due to the change in phytochemical contents by seasonal change and other variables, the extraction of AWW aerial parts was optimized using the Taguchi method. Optimization was performed on the basis of total phytochemical contents (phenols, flavonoids, and tannins) in the extracted solutions. For this purpose, two different solvent systems, namely sodium hydroxide/water (NaOH/water) and ethanol/water (EtOH/water), were applied through a simple aqueous extraction method at varying levels of solvent concentration, and extraction temperature and duration. Maximum phytochemicals yield of 21.96% was obtained using NaOH/water system with 9 g/L NaOH/water at 85 °C for 20 min and 25.5% with 75% aqueous ethanol at 85 °C for 40 min. Optimized extracts were characterized by UV-Vis and FTIR spectrophotometry, which showed the presence of multiple phytochemicals in the extracts. The dyeing temperature and time were also optimized. Dyed cotton fabrics showed medium to high colorfastness to washing and excellent antibacterial and UV radiation absorption properties. The effect of pre-mordanting with salts of iron and copper was also studied on the color fastness properties. Cotton fabrics dyed with two different solvent system extracts displayed various shades of brown with NaOH/water, and green with aqueous ethanol with and without pre-mordanting. The present study provides the textile industry with a promising source of functional bio-colorant and a value-adding approach for the AWW plant industry.

“…The period that the cotton fiber immersed in dyebath to the end of dyebath temperature increase was not included in the dye-fixing time, since the amount of reactive dye fixed on the fiber was negligible during this period. Namely, most of the reactive dye was physically adsorbed on the fiber during this period, and it mainly contributed to the E % of dyeing (Cai et al. , 2020).…”

“…Despite the development of many synthetic fibers, cotton is still the most important natural textile fiber in the world because of its outstanding physical and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, moisture uptake, softness, air permeability, hand feel and water sorption Performance of reactive dyeing properties (Cai et al, 2020;Yılmaz and Bahtiyari, 2020;Mahmud et al, 2020;Pervez et al, 2015Pervez et al, , 2017c. Records of average annual cotton fiber consumption are continually being broken due to increasing use (Shi et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThe conventional textile dyeing process requires various operational characteristics, and determining the most reliable factor in dyeing performance has always been a challenge for the textile industry. Thus, the present paper aimed to evaluate the process sensitivity of C. I. Reactive Blue 194 dyeing of cotton fabric using a statistical technique.Design/methodology/approach An L27 orthogonal array-based Taguchi's methodology was used with six parameters and three levels of each parameter. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance were studied using total fixation efficiency (T%) as the response of the process sensitivity.Findings Results showed that dyebath pH was the most influential factor on the process and total fixation efficiency (p-value = 0.00 and contribution percentage 45.03%), followed by dye-fixing temperature, dye mass, electrolyte concentration, dye-fixing time and material to liquor ratio.Originality/value Overall this study provides a foundation for the determination of dyeing process sensitivity that will be useful in textile industries toward further development.

“…Mercerization pretreatment by caustic mercerization (CM) or liquid ammonia (LA) in the textile sector is often employed to improve several characteristics of cotton fabrics, including luster, tensile strength and dyeability [ 1 , 2 ]. In contrast with CM treatment, the advantage of LA treatment is cleaner because liquid ammonia is highly volatile and can be completely recycled after mercerization [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. After CM treatment, the Na + ions inside the cotton fiber are hard to wash off, and it critically influences the dyeing performance without the efficient removal of Na + ions.…”

A two-stage sequential pretreatment including caustic mercerization (CM) and liquid ammonia (LA) treatment was applied to investigate the influence on dyeing performance and handle of knit cotton fabric, and the relationship between dye size and dyeing properties. Various techniques were applied to characterize all the treated fabrics. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analyses of the treated fabrics confirmed that both sequential treatments decreased the crystallinity of cotton fabric more than only the CM or LA treatment. The pattern of cellulose I was transferred to a mixed configuration of cellulose II and cellulose III after the CM/LA or LA/CM treatment. Thermal performances measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG) techniques showed that the thermal stability of the treated cotton only marginally decreased. The wicking height increased after the sequential CM/LA treatment, indicating that the hydrophilicity of the fabric increased. The dye absorption and color uniformity were better for the reactive dye with a smaller molecular weight (Reactive Red 2) compared with the one with a larger molecular weight (Reactive Red 195). The total dye fixation efficiency (T%) increased to 72.93% and 73.24% for Reactive Red 2 dyeings of CM/LA- and LA/CM-cotton fabric from 46.75% of the untreated fabric, respectively; the T% increased to 65.33% and 72.27% for Reactive Red 195 dyeings of CM/LA- and LA/CM-cotton fabric from 35.17% of the untreated fabric, respectively. The colorfastness and dye exhaustion and fixation percentages of the samples were enhanced after the treatments. Furthermore, compared to the single CM or LA treatment, the softness handle properties were further improved after the fabrics were sequentially treated by CM/LA. The developed pre-treatment of CM/LA can be used in the textile industry to promote the dyeability, handle, and mechanical properties of knit cotton fabrics.
