Abstract
Alkyl-chain anthraquinone dyes have promising performance but face application constraints due to hydrophobicity and pollution in conventional water-based dyeing. This study developed an eco-friendly synthesis and dyeing approach. Six dyes (AQ-5 to AQ-7, CAQ-5 to CAQ-7) were synthesized in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂) via reactions of 1-chloroanthraquinone/1,5-dichloroanthraquinone with n-alkylamines. They showed good light absorption and thermal stability (5 % weight loss at 245–298°C, suitable for scCO₂ dyeing). Meanwhile, scCO₂ dyeing regularity was revealed through the synergistic regulation of multiple parameters. Optimal scCO₂ dyeing conditions for polyester were determined: 16 MPa, 130°C, 90 min for AQ-5–AQ-7; the optimal dyeing conditions for CAQ-5–CAQ-7 were determined and these were included in the range of 120–135 °C, 16 MPa, 70–100 min. Dyed fabrics had uniform fixation with excellent washing, dry, and wet rubbing over than grade 4, and good light fastness. This work establishes a green scCO₂ system, overcoming traditional limitations, and provides a theoretical basis for eco-friendly dyes/technologies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
