Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of fabric dyeing and finishing, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a denim dye electrocatalytic hydrogenation cathode material. Background Art

[0002] Traditionally, denim is dyed with vat dyes, such as indigo and sulfur dyes. Due to the inherent properties of these dyes, indigo and sulfur dyes can only be dyed after being reduced to their leuco form, which then undergoes a process of infiltration, adsorption, and oxidation in the air. For example, in the indigo dyeing process, hydrosulfite and caustic soda are added to the indigo dye solution. At a certain temperature, the indigo is reduced to its leuco form, where it forms hydrogen bonds with the yarn fibers, completing the dyeing process. However, multiple padding cycles are required to achieve the desired dyeing effect. For example, when dyeing denim yarn with indigo, six to twelve dye baths are typically used, depending on the desired color depth, resulting in a lengthy production process. Because leuco indigo is easily oxidized by oxygen in the air during the dyeing process, excess indigo mother liquor and dye auxiliaries are often added to the dye baths to maintain a stable dye concentration. Furthermore, uneven yarn tension control and a large amount of floating color on the yarn hinder further penetration of dye molecules into the fiber, resulting in low dye utilization and dye uptake, poor rubbing fastness, and color differences between edges and ends. Furthermore, dyeing consumes large amounts of water, hydrosulfite, and other dyes and chemicals. The resulting wastewater pollutes the environment and significantly increases wastewater treatment costs. Therefore, developing a clean denim dyeing technology with a short process, low energy consumption, high water efficiency, and zero carbon emissions can improve denim dyeing quality while reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions during production, which is of great significance to the sustainable development of denim production.

[0003] In recent years, researchers have been studying novel reduction methods to address the shortcomings of sodium hydrosulfite, such as large dosage, difficult storage, and environmental pollution. These include novel chemical reduction methods (such as sodium hydrosulfite regeneration, environmentally friendly reducing agents, and two-component systems involving divalent iron salts), catalytic hydrogenation pre-reduction, and electrochemical reduction. The main principle of electrochemical reduction is to replace the reducing agent with electrons, and no harmful byproducts are produced during the reaction, making it a green and environmentally friendly dyeing method. From the perspective of high electron transfer speed and the controllability of the applied voltage / current over the reaction, electrochemical technology has the advantages of high efficiency, cleanliness, and certain tunability and controllability, which has promoted electrochemical reduction dyeing to become a current research hotspot.

[0004] Currently, electrochemical reduction methods for denim dyes can be broadly categorized into three types: direct electroreduction, indirect electrochemical reduction, and electrocatalytic hydrogenation. Direct electroreduction primarily involves two mechanisms: direct electron transfer between the dye and the electrode solid phases, and reduction via dye free radicals. Due to the limited interface between the cathode material and the dye particles and the low free radical concentration, the dye concentration required to achieve the same hue is higher than that required by conventional reduction processes. Therefore, direct electroreduction is inefficient, while indirect electrochemical reduction and electrocatalytic hydrogenation are the most promising methods for industrialization. Indirect electrochemical reduction, which involves adding a reversible redox couple to the dye liquor as an electron carrier, offers advantages such as low chemical reagent usage, easily controllable dyeing conditions, minimal wastewater production, and dye liquor recyclability. However, continuous dyeing requires the addition of an additional mediator feed to compensate for mediator losses caused by liquid discharge proportional to the amount of fabric or yarn. Furthermore, filtration during dye liquor recovery increases costs and introduces additional technical challenges.

[0005] Electrocatalytic hydrogenation using nickel or similar large-surface-area conductive catalytic materials with low hydrogen overvoltage is a promising electrocatalytic reduction method and has been successfully applied in numerous organic reactions. Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of vat dyes primarily utilizes active hydrogen generated in situ by water electrolysis to reduce the vat dyes onto a conductive catalytic metal with a low hydrogen evolution overpotential to a soluble leuco form. This approach utilizes readily available raw materials, is environmentally friendly, and avoids the tedious process of electrochemical hydrogen production followed by pure chemical catalytic hydrogenation. By applying an appropriate voltage, the hydrogen evolution side reaction is reduced, thereby optimizing the hydrogenation process. However, vat and sulfur dyes are mostly water-insoluble solid particles, resulting in poor contact with catalysts. Consequently, research has long focused on the selection of electrocatalytically active materials. Commonly used materials are primarily platinum group elements and transition metals. However, platinum group metals (such as platinum, ruthenium, and palladium) are expensive and prone to deactivation; transition metals (such as iron, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, and tungsten) have high overpotentials and poor current efficiency; and achieving industrially viable reduction rates still requires a large electrode surface area. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new electrode material and electrochemical reduction dyeing method to improve the reduction efficiency, current efficiency and dyeing effect in the electrocatalytic reduction of dyes. Summary of the Invention

At the same time, the formation of active hydrogen can be controlled to avoid excessive reduction of the dye, improve the dye reduction efficiency, and ensure dyeing quality.
