The composition of wastewater from the dyeing and textile processes is highly variable depending on the dyestuff type and typically has high COD and color. This study examined the decolorization of some of the most commonly used disperse and reactive dyestuffs by combination of chemical coagulation and Fenton oxidation. In addition, performances between Fe3+ coagulation and Fenton oxidation of dye solutions were compared by measuring COD and dye removals, distributions of zeta potential, concentration of suspended solid were investigated. Fenton oxidation in combination with Fe3+ coagulation has shown to effectively remove COD and dye. About 90% of COD and 99% of dye removals were obtained at the optimum conditions. Compared to reactive dyes, disperse dyes have lower solubility, higher suspended solids concentrations and lower SCOD/TCOD ratios. The COD and dye removed per unit Fe3+ coagulant added for disperse dye solutions were higher than those for reactive dye solutions. Therefore, the disperse dye solutions are more easily decolorized by chemical coagulation than reactive dye solutions. Conversely, reactive dye solutions have higher applicability of Fenton oxidation than disperse dye solutions due to their higher solubility, lower suspended solids concentrations and higher SCOD/TCOD ratios. The COD and dye removed per Fe2+ Fenton reagent added for reactive dye solutions are respectively higher than those for disperse dye solutions.
The batch dyeing of fiber materials such as staple fibers and flock is usually carried out by exhaustion methods. However, the dyeing of flock fibers, either nylon, PET or acetate, with acid or disperse dyes is not 100% efficient in terms of dye utilization. Therefore, the remaining dyes in the spent dye bath are generally not reused, and are usually discharged with minimum treatment, together with the dyeing chemicals into the sewage wastewater system causing environmental pollution. We found that the colorants and chemical auxiliaries in the fiber dyeing effluents can be reduced by: (1) optimizing the acid dyeing conditions such as salt addition and pH control; (2) reuse of the spent dye bath that remain after the original dyeing process. In the lab scale trials, we have successfully raised the acid dye exhaustion to over 90% by optimizing the dyeing conditions. The reuse of the spent acid dye bath also showed promising results with dye exhaustion ranging from 91 to 93% after four times of reuse.
Two highly dipolar merocyanine dyes were tethered by a rigid tris(n-dodecyloxy)xylylene unit that preorganizes the dyes for a supramolecular polymerization process through intermolecular aggregation of the dyes. UV/vis spectroscopy revealed a solvent dependent equilibrium between monomeric dyes and two different types of dye aggregates that are characterized by hypsochromically shifted D- and H-type absorption bands. Taking into account the ditopic nature of the supramolecular building blocks, the occurrence of the D-band indicates the formation of an oligomeric/polymeric supramolecular chain whereas the observation of the H-band suggests a higher order assembly. For the H-aggregated dyes, intrinsic viscosities exceed 0.65 L g(-1) in methylcyclohexane, values typically found for macromolecular solutions. At higher concentration, further association of these aggregates takes place by entanglement of the alkyl groups leading to a substantial increase in viscosity and gelation. Rheology studies show linear viscoelastic behavior which was attributed to the formation of an entangled dynamic network. AFM and cryo-TEM studies of the gel reveal long and stiff rod-type assemblies. X-ray diffraction studies for a solid film show columnar mesomorphism. Based on these results, a structural model is proposed in which six helically preorganized strands of the supramolecular polymer intertwine to form a rod with a diameter of about 5 nm. Within these rods all dyes are tightly aggregated in a tubular fashion giving rise to delocalized excitonic states, and the pi-conjugated tube is jacketed by the tridodecyloxy groups.
