Abstract: | Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) textile fibers were dyed with a disperse dye in the presence of supercritical carbon dioxide
at three temperatures of 333.2, 363.2 and 393.2 K and at pressures between 15 and 25MPa. The PET film was also dyed at 393.2 K. It was found that the dye uptake in the fiber increased 2–5 times when a small amount
of acetone was added as a cosolvent. The equilibrium dye uptake increased with increasing pressure at all temperatures. At
393.2 K the pressure effect appeared to be much larger. It was explained with the shift of the glass transition temperature
of the polymers at high pressures. These results may be useful in designing and developing the pollution-free supercritical
dyeing technique, a potential alternative to the conventional dyeing of polyesters that produces a lot of wastewater. |
