The aim of this study is to apply and compare statistical regression and an evolutionary fuzzy system to model color yield in the polyester high temperature (HT) dyeing as a function of disperse dyes concentration, temperature and time. The predictive power of the obtained models was evaluated by means of MSE value. It seems that for modeling cases such as the one considered in this study, the ...

Azo dyes are one of the oldest industrially synthesized organic compounds characterized by presence of Azo bond (-N=N-) and are widely utilized as coloring agents in textile, leather, cosmetic, paint, plastic, paper, and food industries During textile processing, inefficiencies in dyeing result in large amounts of the dyestuff (varying from 2% loss when using basic dyes to a 50% loss when certa...

Metal oxides play significant role in many fields of nanotechnology including nanocatalysis, sensing, supermagnetic properties, fuel cells, nanoenergy storage and conservation. Dyes are synthetic compounds which have wide range of application in textiles, paints etc., and the dye effluents from the dyeing industries cause water pollution. In this present study, ZnO photocatalyst have been synth...

Azo dye decolourisation can be easily achieved by biological reduction under anaerobic conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactors (SAMBRs) for the decolourisation of dyeing wastewater containing azo dyes. The reactive orange 16 was used as model of an azo dye. The results demonstrated that very high decolourisation (higher tha...

The dyer has always been faced with choices regarding which dye to use and which application process to choose. In previous years, the cost of the dyeing process and the fastness of the dyeings obtained were prime considerations. Today these basic needs have been supplemented by the need for high productivity in the dyehouse together with an awareness of the environmental impact of the dyeing p...

It is widely accepted that indigo dyes derived from Murex trunculus were used to produce the biblical dyes tekhelet and argaman. We describe a method of following the debromination of natural leucoindigos and their binding to wool using NMR spectroscopy. Debromination is observed prior to reaction with the wool and prior to oxidation. Binding to the wool is shown to occur prior to oxidation. NM...

Some reactive dyes (6a-6l) having Quinazolin-4(3H)-one system have been synthesized by coupling of diazotized 3-(4-(5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) phenyl)-4-oxo-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-6-sulphonic acid with cyanurated components such as H-acid, J-acid, N-methyl Gamma acid, Peri Sulpho Tobias Koch Bronners Chicago K-acid, N-Phenyl J-acid and M-acid. The were characterized nitrog...
