ÍNDEX • Introduction • Supercritical CO2 • Dyeing in supercritical CO2 • Nanopigments and nanoclays • Objectives • State of the art • Colorant selection • Fibres • Process variables • Challenges • Solutions / Future perspectives • Advantages of using Nanopigments • References / Acknowledgements
INTRODUCTION • Supercritical CO2: Solvent • Properties • Low cost • Non-Toxic • Density: liquid • Viscosity: Gas • Recycling up to 90% • Inert • Non-explosive • Low critical point • Pressure: 73.858 ± 0.005 bar • Temperature: 31.05 ± 0.05 ºC
DYEING IN SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE • ADVANTAGES • No waste water (problem in textile industry) • No require additives • No final drying • Recycling • Solvent • Colorants • Environmental friendly • DRAWBACKS • Investment • Solve colorants • Time of process
NANOPIGMETS • NANONATERIALS: since 90’s • Hybrid materials consisting of organic dyes and layered silicate nanoparticles • Nanoclay: particle size < 20nm • Ionic-exchange reaction: Colorant + Nanoclay (H+) • Nanoclays: Smectite group • Montmollonite: laminar • Sepiolite: acicular

STATE OF THE ART NOT DISSOLVED IN SC- CO2 DISSOLVED IN SC-CO2 • Colorants that can be solved in scCO2 • Textile dyes classification: • Directs • Reactive • Acids/Basics • Sulphur • Vat • Mordant • Disperse • Pigments
COLORANT SELECTION • DISPERSE DYES MORE SOLUBILITY • Anthraquinone • It’s more soluble [1] • More expensive • Azoic [ N N ] • The most important disperse dyes • Cheaper and easy manufacture • From non polar fibers
Fibre Fibre Colorant Colorant COLORANT: SELECTION • REACTIVE DISPERSE DYES [2] • (mono-di-)chlorotriazine • Dyeing of natural fibers • Protein or synthetic fibers • (mono-di-)-fluorotriazine • Dyeing cotton • Using different co-solvents • Methanol improves the solubility REACTIVE GROUPS CHANGE THE COLORANT’S SOLUBILITY
COLORANT SELECTION • REACTIVE DYES • Solubility : [4] • Decrease: OH, NH2,COOR’ • Increase: HX NO2 • [X=F,Cl,Br,..] Vinylsulphone : Improve fixations [3] Are suitable for dyeing textiles containing polyester, nylon, silk or wool. Fixations between 70 – 90%
IMPROVE THE RESULTS REACTIVE GROUPS PARTICLE SIZE PROCESS VARIABLES • Dyeing steps • Transport of dye to the fibres: SOLUBILITY • Works: different cosolvents • Acetonitrile • Methanol • Water • Acetone • Reaction of the dye with the textile: AFFINITY • DIFFUSSION of dye into the fibres: D coefficient.

FIBRES • PET the most studied • Changes in the structure of polymers: • Plastics: >Tg • Size stability • Natural fibres [5] • Pre-treatments: Hydrophobic and nonpolar • Polyurethane • DMDHEU • Solvents: Alcohol and water
CHALLENGES • We only can use non polar colorants in scCO2: • These kind of colorant haven’t affinity of natural fibres. • There are a lot of variables in the process: Solubility can change with: • Colorants (Reactive group, Particle size…) • Pressure • Temperature • Substrates: Natural or synthetic fibers • The time of process is too long: 4h
SOLUTIONS / FUTURE PERSPECTIVES • Pre-treated fibres: • PET: with UV, N,N-dimethylacrylamide • CO: DMDHEU, PUR, acetone… • Changes in structure of colorants • [6]Novel reactive disperse dyes has been synthesized. • Control the solubility and dye process. • Equations to predict the solubility. • NANOPIGMENTS
ADVANTAGES OF NANOPIGMENTS • Nanopigments are a viable and environmental-friendly alternative to traditional pigments because of their easy synthesis and conventional processing. • Increase the color gamut: • We can use a lot of conventional organic dyes. • Increase the resistance of colors: UV, O2, Temperature • Improve substrate properties: stability, strength, permeability…
