Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile and apparel fabric dyeing technology, specifically to an improved dyeing and reduction cleaning process for polyester fiber fabrics. Background Technology
[0002] Polyester fiber fabric is a commonly used synthetic fiber clothing fabric in daily life. It has excellent properties such as good resilience, high mechanical strength, strong chemical stability, and resistance to mildew and moths, making it suitable for various fitness wear, sportswear, loungewear, outdoor mountaineering clothing, and so on. However, polyester fiber has poor moisture absorption, making its dyeing process more difficult. It usually requires high temperature and high pressure conditions. Although disperse dye molecules are small, due to their hydrophobic nature, it is difficult to ensure that all dyes can completely penetrate into the fiber. After dyeing, some disperse dyes that have not penetrated into the fiber may adhere to the fiber surface. If not removed, this will affect the dyeing fastness. In addition to the dye adhering to the fabric surface causing floating color, the violent movement of polyester fiber molecules during the high temperature and high pressure dyeing process increases the gaps between molecules. Oligomers formed during the fiber molecule polymerization stage migrate from the fiber interior to the surface and deposit on the fabric surface during cooling, forming color spots and affecting the dyeing quality.
[0003] Therefore, after dyeing, a reduction cleaning method is usually required. A strong reducing agent is used to break down the dye molecules that have not entered the fiber, remove the floating color on the fiber surface, thereby improving the color fastness and color. Commonly used reducing cleaning agents are mainly divided into two categories: one is strong reducing agents, such as sodium dithionite (Sodium hydrosulfite) and thiourea dioxide, which have strong reducing ability under alkaline conditions. Among them, sodium hydrosulfite poses significant safety hazards during transportation, storage, and production, and the treated wastewater is highly polluting, causing great harm to the environment. The other is acidic reducing cleaning agents, such as the new acidic reducing cleaning agents ARC and SH, which do not require drainage after disperse dyeing and can directly carry out reducing cleaning under acidic conditions. Both types of reducing cleaning agents have their advantages in the cleaning process, but most of them contain reducing sulfur compounds. Therefore, the sulfur content in the wastewater generated by reducing cleaning is high. Sulfur compounds increase the hardness of water, deteriorate the quality of groundwater, and thus have a significant impact on industrial products. The quality of drinking water will also deteriorate, posing a significant threat to human health. According to GB4287-2012 "Water Pollutant Discharge Standard for Textile Dyeing and Finishing Industry", the standard for direct discharge of sulfides is not higher than 1 mg / L. As people's demands for environmental protection increase, in this new stage of development of the printing and dyeing industry, printing and dyeing enterprises must move towards a green and sustainable direction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the above problems, this invention provides an improved dyeing and reduction cleaning process for polyester fiber fabrics.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: An improved dyeing and reduction cleaning process for polyester fiber fabrics includes the dissolution and diffusion of disperse dye molecules, dyeing of the polyester fiber fabric, and reduction cleaning after dyeing. The reduction cleaning process after dyeing involves rinsing in a cleaning solution at a temperature of 50-80°C for 10-60 minutes. The preparation method of the cleaning solution includes the following steps: (1) Weigh out disodium hydrogen phosphate and dissolve it in deionized water. After it is fully dissolved, heat it to 50-80℃, add sodium metavanadate and stir until dissolved, add concentrated sulfuric acid to acidify, cool and add sodium molybdate and stir until dissolved, continue to stir the reaction at room temperature for 1-4 hours, add diethyl ether to extract, and evaporate the solvent from the diethyl ether phase to obtain product A. (2) Weigh N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-L-lysine and dissolve it in deionized water. Let it stand for 24-72 hours. Add copper chloride solution and α-cyclodextrin solution in sequence and mix thoroughly. Adjust the pH to 5-6. Let it stand for 0.5-2 hours. Add the product A. Adjust the pH to 5-6. Let it stand for 0.5-2 hours. After dilution, add a nonionic surfactant to obtain the cleaning solution.
[0006] In some preferred embodiments, the dyeing process involves contacting the polyester fiber fabric to be dyed with a dye solution under high temperature conditions; wherein the dye solution includes disperse dye, degreasing agent and surfactant, and the surfactant is anionic surfactant or nonionic surfactant or a combination of both.
[0007] In some preferred embodiments, the concentration of the surfactant in the dye solution is 0.5-3 g / L.
[0008] In some preferred embodiments, the concentration of the degreasing agent in the dye solution is 0.5-1 g / L.
[0009] In some preferred embodiments, the mass ratio of the dye solution to the polyester fiber fabric is (10-40):1.
[0010] In some preferred embodiments, the mass ratio of the disperse dye in the dye solution to the polyester fiber fabric is 1:(10-1000).
[0011] In some preferred embodiments, the mass ratio of disodium hydrogen phosphate to sodium metavanadate and sodium molybdate in step (1) is 1:(0.8-0.9):(12-17); the volume ratio of deionized water to concentrated sulfuric acid is (8-10):1.
[0012] In some preferred embodiments, the mass ratio of N-fluorenemethoxycarbonyl-L-lysine to copper chloride, α-cyclodextrin and product A in step (2) is (28-32):1:(40-50):(3-4.2).
[0013] In some preferred embodiments, the mass concentration of copper chloride in the cleaning solution obtained after dilution in step (2) is 0.01-0.05 g / L.
[0014] In some preferred embodiments, the nonionic surfactant in step (2) is phenoxylate or nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, and the concentration of the nonionic surfactant in the cleaning solution is 0.01-0.03 g / L; adding a nonionic surfactant helps to dissolve and disperse the floating color and prevents re-contamination.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention improves the existing dyeing reduction cleaning process for polyester fiber fabrics, providing a sulfur-free reduction cleaning solution and its cleaning process. This solution can remove surface dye after dyeing polyester fiber fabrics, improving colorfastness and color. The main components of the reduction cleaning solution are co-coordination products based on copper ions. Product A is a compound mainly composed of phosphovanadium molybdenum-based metal oxophosphates, which, in conjunction with copper ions, removes surface dye from the fiber. N-fluorenemethoxycarbonyl-L-lysine, in conjunction with copper ions, utilizes the hydrophilic-hydrophobic amphoteric structure of lysine to reduce the penetration of the reduction cleaning agent into the fiber, preventing damage to the dyes inside the fiber. α-Cyclodextrin is used to increase the affinity of the reduction cleaning agent for disperse dyes, increasing its contact with disperse dyes on the fiber surface and improving the efficiency of removing surface dye.
