Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of compound synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for synthesizing polyalkyl polysaccharide compounds as substitutes for reactive printing urea. Background Technology
[0002] Reactive dye printing is the most mainstream printing method for cotton and regenerated cellulose fiber fabrics. It boasts good pattern clarity and color fastness, and enjoys a very high market share in apparel fabrics, especially home textiles. The dyes and chemicals involved in reactive printing typically include thickeners, resist salts, reactive dyes, baking soda, and urea. Among these, urea has a nitrogen content (ammonia nitrogen content) as high as 46.7%, and its usage typically ranges from 5% to 20%, making it the primary source of excessive ammonia nitrogen emissions.
[0003] Currently, the wastewater discharge standards of printing and dyeing plants are usually between 50-80 ppm. Reducing ammonia nitrogen emissions usually requires paying high wastewater treatment costs. Therefore, replacing urea with high ammonia nitrogen emissions has become a new demand target for printing plants.
[0004] Urea is an essential auxiliary agent in the reactive dye printing process. Urea is a hygroscopic agent with a moisture absorption capacity of 24.4%. It is also a cosolvent used to prepare reactive dye pastes, helping to dissolve and stabilize the pastes. Its main functions for reactive dyes are as follows: (1) Although reactive dye molecules have hydrophilic sulfonic acid groups and hydroxyl groups, which already have good solubility, the amount of dye used during printing paste preparation is relatively high, and the water content is small, so the use of urea as a solubilizer is still necessary. (2) After reactive dye printing, after steam fixing, urea plays a hygroscopic role through amide bonds, promoting fiber swelling, which is beneficial to dye penetration and increasing the moisture absorption capacity of reactive dyes. It promotes the occurrence of affinity addition or substitution reactions, and the coloring effect of thermosetting reactive dyes is more significant. (3) As a water substitute in the paste. After high-temperature setting, some water in the paste will be lost, and urea will supplement some of the water and participate in the catalytic reaction of reactive dyes with cotton hydroxyl chemical bonds. Generally, the minimum amount of urea is 1%. When the amount of dye used exceeds 1%, the amount of urea used should be equal to that of the dye, or increased by another 2%-4%.
[0005] Developing urea alternatives for reactive printing is crucial for green production and energy conservation and emission reduction. Therefore, the development of such products is both necessary and urgent, and will contribute to the green development of the reactive printing industry. Summary of the Invention

The synthesized polyalkyl polysaccharide compounds can effectively improve the three functions of reactive dyes in sizing: water retention and moisture absorption, dispersion and compatibilization, and fiber swelling. They can also effectively promote the color development of reactive dyes during steaming and effectively reduce ammonia nitrogen emissions.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for synthesizing polyalkyl polysaccharide compounds as substitutes for reactive printing urea. The specific synthesis steps are as follows:

After the addition is complete, the temperature is maintained for 3-5 hours before cooling and discharging to obtain the target product, polyalkyl polysaccharide compound.
[0012] Preferably, in step (2), the initiator is 0.05-0.15 parts, and the initiator is potassium persulfate or ammonium persulfate.
[0013] Preferably, in step (1), there are 20-30 parts of acryloyl ethylenediamine, 10-15 parts of sodium 4-vinylbenzene methane sulfonate, and 0.5-3 parts of pH adjuster, wherein the pH adjuster is 4-hydroxyethylpiperazine ethanesulfonic acid or 3-hydroxymethylaminomethane.

[0022] The advantages and positive effects of the method for synthesizing the polyalkyl polysaccharide compound as a substitute for reactive printing urea according to the present invention are as follows:
[0023] 1. The polyalkyl polysaccharide compound synthesized in this invention can effectively absorb moisture and lock in water through the polyhydroxyl groups on the chain segments, providing favorable conditions for the reaction between dyes and the alcohol hydroxyl groups of cellulose. At the same time, the polyhydroxyl groups can also form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose fibers, which can swell the fibers and facilitate the penetration of dyes.
[0024] 2. The sodium benzenesulfonate group of the alkyl backbone of this invention can effectively solubilize disperse dyes, resulting in more uniform color. It replaces urea and reduces ammonia nitrogen emissions by absorbing moisture to aid color development, swelling to aid penetration, and dispersing to aid dissolution, thus contributing to the green development of printing and dyeing enterprises.
