CHAPTER ONE: INTRODCTION

1.1 GENERAL DISCUSSION:

 Now a day’s knit fabrics are used widespread in the world. The quality of a knit garment is mainly depends

on the effective dyeing process. Considering the capability and demand our country has mainly cotton based

industries. The knit products produced are mainly of cotton. So in the dyeing industries cotton is mainly

dyed. For cotton dyeing there are many types of dyes are available such as direct dye vat dye reactive dye

a!oic dye etc. To dye effectively frankly saying considering all the facts like the application process

retention of the color during use and economy reactive is the most suited dye to dye cotton goods. "eactive

dyes are used e#tensively in dyeing cotton in every factory of our country. Shades that can be produced by

reactive dye is enormous to produce a target shade perfectly monochromatic that means the primary color 

are used most frequently. $ut matching with the monochromatic color combination is not always suitable assome shades can’t be found. There are also some limitations about the reactivity and production of the color 

in a definite time. To remove this drawback different dye manufacturers come with the idea of some

dichromatic and tri%chromatic reactive dyes. These special types of dyes made for special shades. This dye is

mainly bluish and some are yellowish. This dye is known as turquoise color. Turquoise color is a hot brand

reactive dye. &sually reactive dye is applied to fabric at around '( )C but turquoise color is applied to fabric

at around *()C. These special dyes are made especially in comparison to normal reactive dye. They are

introduced with metal comple# structure+ their reactive group activated at higher temperature their 

molecular si!e is bigger than normal reactive dyes. Considering the above facts application process will

definitely be different than normal reactive dye application. ,f process is not changed according to the

structure of dyes achieving of proper shade is really an absurd. The special colors create different types of 

 problems.

CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 REVIEW OF RECENT RESEARCH WORK:

1. Michel Hehlen  1-2 worked on 34ffects of 5ye Substantivity in 5yeing Cotton with "eactive 5yes6.

,t represents that Fiber reactive dyes for cotton were shown to vary widely in their substantivity for the

fiber. Substantivity also depended on dye bath temperature and salt concentration as e#pected. The relative

substantivities of the hydroly!ed forms of the reactive dyes were assessed in the laboratory by means of a

simple quick and ine#pensive paper chromatography test. Correlation of the substantivity of the dye with

the amount removed from the cotton under various washing conditions indicated that it should be possible to

select higher or lower washing temperatures based on the substantivity of the dye to be removed. ,n

addition the paper chromatography test was useful for quick selection of dyes of about the same

substantivity. 7i#tures of such dyes dyed cotton with little change in hue during the dyeing process+ dyes of 

different substantivity gave pronounced color changes.

2. M F H Arzu and M.M. Rahman[2]  worked on

This paper presents the various effects on cotton fabric dyeing with reactive dyes. 7ost of the knitted cotton

fabric was dyed with reactive dyes with a view of optimi!ing dyeing procedure of cotton fabrics by varying

dyeing process and parameters. ,n isothermal process dyeing process has been completed at '(9C :for green

reactor0 >inetic and 4quilibrium studies6.

The adsorption of reactive turquoise blue =8 dye on commercial activated carbon was investigated in a

 batch reactor to obtain isotherm and kinetic data under different e#perimental conditions. The absorbent was

characteri!ed by FT," method to analy!e surface area and ph ?@C and to identify functional groups.

range of < to *. 4#periments were carried out under the optimal p h condition for dye removal to obtain

equilibrium data at A()C B)C '()C. 7a#imum dye removal capacity was observed at a ph  < and

temperature A(

fastness and crock fastness properties of a fibre reactive dyed -((E cotton woven fabric6.

De states the main obective of preparation is to remove all contaminants that could inhibit the uniform

absorption of dyes and chemicals in subsequent treatment. (E of all defects in the final finished cotton

fabric are due to inadequate preparation.

(. erger, Re)ecca Rile*1'2worked on 3Fiber reactive dyes with improved affinity and fi#ation efficiency6.

The investigation represents that although fiber reactive dyes are widely used in the dyeing of cellulosic

materials several economical and environmental problems are associated with their application. ?roblems

include residual color in wastewater cost of wastewater treatment raw material cost :salt dye and water;

and quality of goods produced are e#amples of areas where improvements are needed. The afford mentioned

costs could be reduced by increasing the fi#ation efficiency and e#haustion of reactive dyes. ,n turn fi#ation

efficiency and e#haustion could be increased by increasing dye%fiber affinity. This thesis pertains to an

evaluation of four types of dye structures arising from novel but straight forward modifications of 

commercially available fiber reactive dyes to produce colorants designated by ?roctor and 8amble as

Teegafi# "eactive dyes. Teegafi# dyes are produced in < steps from dichlorotria!ine :5CT; type reactive

dyes using either cysteamine or cysteine and then reacting the intermediate structures with either cyanuric

chloride :cf. Type - and < yellow dyes; or a second molecule of the starting dye :cf. Types A and B yellow

dyes;. ,n the same way red and blue 5CT dyes were converted to the corresponding Teegafi# structures.

The resultant homo%bifunctional dyes vary in molecular si!e and reactivity and are designed to enhance dye%

fiber fi#ation efficiency and affinity.

CHAPTER THREE: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

3.1.1 COTTON TEXTILES:

Cotton fabrics are known to have been in use at least for ((( years 12. /lthough numerous synthetic fibres

such as polyesters acrylics polyamides and ?olypropylenes have entered the market over the past ( years

cotton has still maintained its strong consumer demand worldwide. Today cotton te#tiles represent more

than half of the global te#tile market 1*2 and the demand is e#pected to continue 1G -(2. This dominance of 

cotton fibre is mainly due to its natural comfort performance and appearance .

3.1.2 COTTON FIBRE:

Cotton is the purest form of the natural cellulose polymers. The fibre is a single plant cell found as the seed

hair of a genus of the plants called Hgossypium’ 1--2. Iike all plant cells a mature cotton fibre has a distinct

cuticle well developed primary and secondary walls and a lumen :FigureA.-; 1-<2.

Figure A.- / morphological diagram of the cotton fibre :source0 1-<2;

The cuticle is the very outside or Hskin’ of the fibre. ,t is composed of pectins protein and wa#es. Therefore

it makes the fibre hydrophobic unless a wetting agent is used. The primary cell wall is immediately

underneath the cuticle. The secondary wall beneath the primary wall forms the bulk of the fibre. ,nadequate

development of the secondary wall during the growth of cotton fibres on the plant creates Himmature’ fibres.

,f there is no development of the secondary wall then the fibre is referred to as a Hdead’ cotton fibre. The

immature and dead fibres tend to become entangled into small fibrous bundles called neps during the

mechanical processes for producing yarns 1-A -B2. The immature fibres cannot be dyed to shades as dark as

mature fibres and the dead fibres remain undyed. Therefore neps can be instantly seen on the surface of the

dyed fabrics appearing as white and light spots. The color contrast between the dyed neps and mature fibres

can be reduced by swelling of immature fibres during merceri!ing :Section -.<.<.<;. The primary and

secondary walls are composed of cellulose Hfibrils’. The fibrils occur in the spiral form at certain angles to

the fibre a#is. The lumen is a longitudinally hollow canal in the centre of the fibre. 7icrographs of the raw

cotton fibres are shown in Figure A.<. 7ature cotton fibres are flattened tubes and are highly convoluted.

The surface of such fibre enables inter%fibre friction :cohesiveness; which is helpful in producing fine spun

B

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/thesis-partdoc 5/45

yarns of adequate strength. The appearance of the cross%section of cotton fibre is bean or kidney%shaped. The

convolutions and bean%shaped cross section of the cotton fibre enable cotton apparel to be more comfortable.

This is because the particular structure of cotton fibre is more compatible with human skin and makes

apparel

more moisture absorbent 1-<2.

3.1.3 CHARATERISTICS OF COTTON:

Cotton as a natural cellulosic fiber has a lot of characteristics such as+

• Comfortable Soft hand.

• 8ood absorbency.

• Color retention.

• ?rints well.

• 7achine%washable.

• 5ry%cleanable.

• 8ood strength.

• 5rapes well.

• 4asy to handle and sew.

3.1.4 COTTON POLYMER AND FIBRE POLYMER SYSTEM:

Cotton fibres are composed of cellulose polymers mostly J%cellulose 1-B2. The basic molecular structure of 

cotton cellulose is shown in Figure A.A. ,ts repeating unit is cellobiose. The degree of polymeri!ation of 

cotton cellulose is about ((( based on cellobiose units 1-<2.

Cotton polymer system is highly crystalline and oriented. ,mportant groups on cotton polymer :cellulose;

are hydro#yl and methylol groups. The presence of abundant hydro#yl groups and the polymer chain

conformation cause intermolecular and intra%molecular hydrogen bonding that enhances the rigidity of the

fibre structure. The e#istence of van der Kaal’s forces is of little significance.

3.1. PROPERTIES OF COTTON FIBRE:

DM8"LSCL?,C ?"L?4"T,4S0

The cotton fibre is hydrophilic and water absorbent 1-A2. This is because the polar hydro#yl groups of 

cellulose polymer attract the polar water molecules. ,ts porous structure allows ready penetration of water 

molecules between the fibrils and into the amorphous regions of the fibre where they can easily form

hydrogen bonds with free cellulose hydro#yl groups. 4ven the typical cotton dyes being quite large

molecules easily penetrate into the accessible interfibrillar and amorphous regions. The standard moisture

regain of cotton fibre is about *E and rises to around <A(E at -((E relative humidity at ambient

temperature 1-A2. Cotton fibre swells with water absorption because of the swelling of the secondary wall. ,t

is one of the few fibres which gains strength when wet 1-<2. This may be due to a temporary improvement in

 polymer alignment in the amorphous regions.

CD47,C/I ?"L?4"T,4S0

The chemical reactions with cotton cellulose occur mainly due to the activity of hydro#yl groups and depend

on the super molecular structure. /ny reaction is initiated in the more accessible amorphous regions and at

the surfaces of crystalline regions 1-B2. The reactions can be broadly classified into two categories0

esterification and etherification. 4sterification is usually carried out under acidic conditions. These reactions

include nitration acetylation phosphorylation and sulphation. /cidic conditions hydrolyse the cotton

cellulose at the glucoside o#ygen atom which links the two glucose units to form the cellobiose unit

:Figure0A.B; 1-<2. Stronger acids hydrolyse the cellulose more rapidly. / cotton fibre dissolves completely in

a (E aqueous sulphuric acid 1-2. 4therification on the other hand is favoured in an alkaline medium.

This @eaction is important for dyeing cotton with reactive dyes. ,n the presence of even dilute base

cellulose behaves as a weak acid and ionises to form a cellulosate anion according to the chemical equation

given in Figure -.B 1-'2. This anion is capable of reacting with suitable dyes by nucleophilic substitution or 

addition to form covalent bonds 1-2. Oickerstaff provided the evidence for reactive dyes forming covalent

 bond with the cellulosate anion :Cellulose%L  ; 1-*2.

Cellulose%LD P LD   :alkali;  Cellul#$e+!  - H 2!

 The dissociation of cellulose merceri!ing is a treatment of cotton with strongly alkaline solutions where

fibre lusture tensile strength and dye uptake are improved 1-< -G2. Such improvements are principally due

to the swelling of cotton fibre and the alignment of poorly oriented fibre polymers during this treatment. The

swelling is fundamentally due to the imbibitions of water as a consequence of the sorption of alkali by thecellulose 1--2. Cellulose is readily attacked by o#idi!ing agents such as hypochlorites chlorous chloric and

 perchloric acids pero#ides dichromates permanganates periodic acid periodate salts and nitrogen

tetro#ide 1-B2. L#idation of cellulose can lead to two products0 reducing and acidic o#ycellulose. ,n

reducing o#ycellulose the hydro#yl groups are converted to carbonyl groups or aldehydes whereas in acidic

o#ycellulose the hydro#yl groups are o#idised to carbo#yl groups or acids.

TD4"7/I ?"L?4"T,4S0

Cotton fibres are heat conductive 1-<2. 4#cessive application of heat energy causes the cotton fibre to char 

and burn. Deating the fibre generally causes dehydration  and decomposition of cellulose 1-B2. /t

temperatures above -( 9C the e#tent of   browning and hardening of the fibres increases 1-A2. ,f processing

requires higher  temperatures shorter treatment times are set to avoid thermal damage.

REACTIVE DYES

3.2.1 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF REACTIVE DYES:

Page 8: Thesis part.doc

7/23/2019 Thesis part.doc

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/thesis-partdoc 8/45

/ variety of attempts have been made in the struggle to obtain the covalent bond formation between a dye

and a fibre. ,n -*G Cross and $evan achieved a covalent dye%cellulose bond with respect to the first

approach 1<2. They showed that cellulose :Cellulose%LD; treated with strong alkali was changed into Hsoda

cellulose’ :Cellulose%LNa;. The soda cellulose could be treated with ben!oyl chloride to form ben!oyl

cellulose. The resultant ben!oyl cellulose was nitrated where the nitro group was reduced and the amino

group was dia!otised. Coupling the dia!o group with N N%dimethylaniline gave Hdyed’ fibres 1<'2. The idea

of covalent bond formation between the reactive group of a dye molecule and a fibre polymer was initiated

in the early -G((s 1<2. Oarious reactive entities were found which could react with the hydro#yl groups of 

cellulose and eventually be converted into coloured cellulose. ,n -GB "attee and Stephen developed the

reactive dyes for cotton fibre containing highly reactive dichloro% $tria!ine groups with a dyeing procedure

1<*2. They established that dyeing cotton with these dyes under mild alkaline conditions resulted in a

reactive chlorine atom on the tria!ine ring of the dye being substituted by an o#ygen atom from a cellulose

hydro#yl group. The role of the alkali was to cause dissociation of some of the hydro#yl groups in thecellulose to obtain cellulosate anion that reacts with the dye. This discovery led to the introduction of the

first commercial reactive dye class for cellulose that was marketed by ,C, in -G' under the trade name of 

?rocion 7 1- <* <G2. These dyes were introduced for the production of fast bright colors on cellulosic

fibers using continuous dyeing methods 1A(2. ?rocion. $rilliant "ed 7%<$ :C, "eactive "ed -; is one of the

early dyes of this range 1<2. The maor factor contributing to the long delay in producing the first reactive

dye for cellulose was the belief that cellulose was a relatively inert fibre. Further was the fear that the

conditions required to effect a chemical reaction would cause serious fibre degradation 1< <G2. Therefore

in early studies dyestuff chemists were led astray in thinking that they needed to convert cellulose to the

more reactive soda cellulose which could make fiber reactivity possible 1<G A-2. No one e#pected that any

reactive group would prefer to react with a hydro#yl group of cellulose when cotton is immersed in an

aqueous dye bath containing numerous competitive hydro#ide ions of water 1<2. Dowever a large number 

of reactive dyes with a variety of reactive groups have been developed. Today the fiber%reactive dyes are the

largest single dye class used for dyeing cotton.

3.2.2 GENERAL PROPERTIES OF REACTIVE DYES:

• "eactive dyes are anionic dyes.

• "eactive dyes are found in powder liquid and print form.

• 5uring dyeing the reactive group of this dye forms covalent bond with fiber polymer and becomes an

integral part of fibers.

• "eactive dyes are soluble in water.

• They have very good light fastness with rating about '. The dyes have very stable electron

arrangement and can protect the degrading effect of ultra%violet ray.

 

Te#tile materials dyed with reactive dyes have very good wash fastness with rating about B%due to strong covalent bonds formed between fibre polymer and reactive group of dye.

• "eactive dyes give brighter shades and have moderate rubbing fastness.

3.2.3 CONSTITUTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF REACTIVE DYES:

The four characteristic features of a typical reactive dye molecule are the chromophoric group the water 

solubilising group:s; usually sulphonate :%SLANa; the reactive group and the bridging group that attaches

the reactive group either directly to the chromophore or to some other part of the dye molecule. 4ach of 

these structural groups has an effect on the physical properties of the dye molecule. Today the names of 

many companies have been changed because of the transfer e#pansion merger or division of the businesses.

The names mentioned here are when the dyes were introduced to diffuse into fibres migration within the

fibre:s; colorfastness and so on. Typical reactive dye chromophores include the a!o triphenodio#a!ine

 N&CI4L?D,I,C S&$ST,T&T,LN 74CD/N,S70

"eactive groups based on carbon%nitrogen ring structures undergo nucleophilic substitution :Figure A.;

1AA2. They react with cellulose by the substitution of a labile chlorine fluorine methyl sulphone or nicotinyl

leaving group. The adacent nitrogen atom in a heterocyclic ring activates the system for nucleophilic attack.

The attacking nucleophile can be either a cellulosate anion or a hydro#ide ion of water. The reaction with

cellulosate anion leads to Hfi#ation’ of the dye on the fibre and that with hydro#ide ion results in Hhydrolysis’

of the reactive dye.

3.2.4 CLASSIFICATION OF REACTIVE DYES

Ln the basis of control parameters there are A types0

/. /lkali controllable dyes0

These dyes have optimal fi#ation temperature between B(oc and '(oc. They are characteri!ed by relative low

e#haustion in the neutral salt solution before alkali is added. They have high relative and care should be

taken to produce level dyeing. Typical e#ample of this dye 5CT dichlorodifluropyrimidine

dichloroqino#aline and OS d dyes.

$. Salt controllable dyes0

5yes in this group low optimal fi#ation temperature between *( oc and boil. Such dye e#hibit comparatively

high e#haustion at ?D  that is neutral medium. So it is important to add salt a carefully to ensure level

dyeing. Typical e#ample of this class is Trichloropyrimidine /minochlorotria!ine and bis

:/minochlorotria!ine; etc.

C. Temperature controllable reactive dyes0

This group of dye reacts with cellulose above the boil in absence of alkali although this can be applied

 between *(oC and boil in alkali medium. 5yes of this group have self leveling characteristics.

There are no need additional au#iliaries to achieve level dyeing. 8ood result can be achieved by controlling

the temperature only the kayacelon react :>M>; range of bis :/minochlorotria!ine; dyes belong to this

• Digher reactive dyes0 here ?D is maintained -(%-- by using NaDCLA in dye ba

 Ln the basis of dyeing temperature and method there are three types%

• Cold brand0 this type of dyes contains reactive groups of high reactivity. So dyeing can be done in

lower temperature i.e. A<%'(oC. For e#ample ?rocion 7 Ievafi# 4.

7edium brand0 this type of dyes contains reactive groups of medium reactivity. So dyeing is done inhigher temperature i.e. '(%(oC. For e#ample "ema!ol Ievafi#.

dyeing au#iliaries.

4.1.2 DYEING AUXILLIARIES AND ITS FUNCTION:

S/IT0

Salt plays crucial role of catalyst. Salt has an e#tremely high affinity for water. $roadly speaking Salt is

necessary in three ways firstly to drive dye into te#tile during the dyeing process in te#tile. Secondly use of 

salt leads to ma#imum e#haustion of dye molecules during dyeing process in te#tiles. Thirdly it is used as an

electrolyte for migration adsorption and fi#ation of the dyestuff to the cellulose material. Salts plays

important role in reactive dyeing by improving the affinity of the dyestuff  towards the fibre and acceleration

of the dyestuffs association and lowering its solubility. Normally 8laubers salt is used for this purpose. The

 presence of chlorine ion in the common salt may cause corrosion of the equipment. Dence 8laubers salt isalways preferred over common salt. 8laubers salt is a common name for sodium sulfate decahydrate

 Na<SLB.-(D<L+ it occurs as white or colorless monoclinic crystals 8laubers salt is water soluble has a

salty bitter taste and it is also widely used in dyeing1<A2.

F&NCT,LN LF S/IT ,N TD4 5M4,N8 ?"LC4SS0

• The salt in the reactive dyeing increases the affinity of the dye towards the Cellulosic substrate.

• Salt increases the e#haustion rate of reactive dyestuffs.

/s reactive dyestuffs have a lower affinity more inorganic salt is required when using reactivedyestuffs in order to accelerate absorption.

• Khile the amount of inorganic salt used varies according to the type of dyestuff used recently

developed high%fi#ation dyestuffs with improved affinity allow the amount of inorganic salt to be

reduced.

Salts have two main functions in e#haustion dyeing with reactive dyestuffs0

• ,mproving the affinity of the dyestuff

• /cceleration of the dyestuffs association and lowering of its solubility.

8enerally reactive dyes contains sulphonic acid :%SLAD; group which is insoluble in water. 5uring the

manufacturing of the reactive dyes  these sulphonic acid groups are converted into the sodium salt of 

sulphonic acid :%SLANa; which is soluble in water.

The main function of soda ash is to react dye with fibre :fi#ation ;.

F,Q/T,LN0 

Fi#ation of dye means the reaction of reactive group of dye with terminal LD group of fibre and thus

forming strong covalent bond with the fibre. This is an important phase which is controlled by maintaining

 proper pD by adding alkali. The alkali used for this purpose depends on brand of dye and dyeing

temperature. soda ash or Na<CLA is used as alkali. They created proper pD in dye bath and do as the dye%

fi#ing agent. 1<A2

4.2 METHODS:

4.2.1 EXHAUST DYEING PROCESS ,24-:

4#haust dyeing also is known as batch or discontinuous dyeing. ,t is the process used for most commercial

fabric dyeing.

5yeing0

4ssentially the process involves loading fabric into a bath originally known as a batch and allowing it

come into equilibrium with a solution or suspension of dye. 4#haust dyeing is the ability of the molecules

to move from the solution onto the fabric fibers :substantivity;. The substantivity of a dye can be influenced

 by temperature or additives such as salt.

"insing0

The e#haust dyeing process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. Khen the fabric has

absorbed or fi#ed as much dye as it can the bath is emptied and the fabric is rinsed to remove any e#cess

dyestuff.

Specific Iiquor "atio0

/n important concept in e#haust dyeing is what is known as the specific liquor ratio. This describes the ratio

of the mass of the fabric to the volume of the dye bath and determines not only the depth of color obtained

 but also the environmental impact of the process.
