Sustainable Chemistry Method to Improve the Wash-off Process of Reactive Dyes on Cotton

Abstract: Reactive dyes are extensively used for coloration of cellulosic fibers because of their excellent wash fastness (stability to washing with aqueous detergent solutions), which arises from covalent bond formation between dye and fibre. However, up to 40% of the dyestuff may hydrolyze in the dyeing process; this hydrolyzed dye has affinity for the fibre via hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions, but is not covalently bonded and as such exhibits poor wash fastness. Accordingly, these reactive dyeings req… Show more

“…While it is known that dye transfer occurs, and indeed which dyes exhibit poor wash fastness, the identification of dyes that bleed in modern consumer textiles is little understood. The use of dye transfer inhibitors (DTIs) in domestic laundering detergent compositions is well-known; cationic and zwitterionic surfactants in formulations containing non-ionic and/or anionic surfactants hold soils and vagrant dye, which may be washed from fabric during laundering, in solution and prevent their redeposition onto fabric [18,19]. Current DTIs still work on the assumption that direct dyes are the most problematic dye species and so have often only targeted them [20];…”

“…however, most cellulosic fibres are now dyed with reactive dyes, and hydrolysed, unfixed reactive dyes pose a highly significant issue in terms of desorption and staining. Hydrolysed reactive dyes typically have significantly different geometries in comparison with direct dyes and their interactions with current DTIs are limited; in comparison planar, often larger, direct dyes have a greater extent of interaction with existing DTIs [19]. In previous research, technical fabrics are used or dyebaths are simulated, using known dye standards, but even applying optimal parameters for dye removal to real-life textile effluent yields discrepancies due to the difference between authentic textile effluent and synthetic dye solutions [21][22][23][24].…”

“…Disperse dyes are mainly used in the dyeing and printing processes (DPPs) of PET fabrics due to their low solubility, small molecule, and good fastness 17‐21 . Nevertheless, washing process, such as reduction clearing, is necessary to be performed to remove surplus disperse dyes and residual chemical auxiliaries after the traditional DPPs 15,22,23 . Unfortunately, washing process not only consumes a mass of water resource, but also produces and discharges a large amount of wastewater 24‐29 .…”

“…Some studies have focused on reduction of water consumption in the textile wash-off process. Special chemicals have been developed to improve rinsing efficiency, such as dosing functional polymers that can inhibit dye transfer [21] or adding micro-absorbents [22] in rinsing baths to remove residual dyes. These technologies mainly focus on reducing dye concentration in the rinsing bath to improve its cleaning capacity and reducing the number of rinsing baths to save water.…”
