The purpose of a cross-sectional study was to investigate factors influencing the quality of life among Thai workers in textile dyeing factories. Samples included 205 Thai workers from five textile dyeing factories located in the suburban area of Bangkok in Thailand. Data were collected with a self-administered questionnaire. Scales of the questionnaire had reliability coefficients ranging from...

The reactive dye Cibacron Yellow S-3R was selected to evaluate the feasibility of combining nanofiltration membranes with electrochemical processes to treat textile wastewater. Synthetic dyeing effluents were treated by means of two nanofiltration membranes, Hydracore10 and Hydracore50. Up to 98% of dye removal was achieved. The influence of salt concentration and pH on membrane treatment was s...

Cotton hanks were dyed with three different sulphur dyes using non-sulphide reducing agents such as glucose, fructose, invert sugar and molasses. The alkalies employed for reduction were sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide. Invert sugar as a reducing agent and sodium carbonate as alkali proved to be better as this combination gave results comparable to those obtained with the conventional sod...

This study presents a novel method for eco-friendly dyeing of cotton fabrics with direct dyes. Cotton fabric modified with chitosan-poly propylene imines dendrimer CS-PPI, and its dyeing and fastness properties were investigated using three direct dyes. The impacts of important factors, i.e., CS-PPI concentration, dye concentration, dyeing time, dyeing temperature, and salt concentration were i...

  Background :Despite the presence of many textile and dyeing plants in Iran, we couldn’t find similar studies in this country. Forthermore, considering progress in the dyeing process and engineering controls, assessment of respiratory system is important for these workers. The present study was performed to evaluate the respiratory system in dyeing workers.   Methods : In a cross-sectional stu...

The filtration characteristics of simulated dyeing effluents containing Acid Orange 7, sodium sulfate, and a pH buffer made of acetic acid and sodium acetate is described using a commercially available nanofiltration membrane. The original membrane filtration properties were characterized with deionized water to provide a baseline of membrane performance. At high volumetric concentration of the...

ABSTMCT: Reduction in the requirements for water, energy, and chemicals have been achieved by changes in carpet beck dyeing procedures. Instead of discharging the dyebath following each dye cycle, in the new procedure the spent bath is analyzed, reconstituted to the desired concentration of dyes and auxiliary chemicals, and reused. Bench scale dyeings were conducted initially to define operat...

Indigo is one of the most consumed dyes in the textile sector, as it is widely used for the dyeing of denim clothes. About 15% of indigo used in the dyeing process is discharged to the wastewater treatment plants or sometimes into rivers, in countries where regulations are not strictly applied. In this work, real effluents that contained indigo dye were treated by means of 4 different ultrafilt...

This paper presents the influence of Hybrane H 1500 as a hyperbranched polymer on kinetic parameters of dyeing compounded fiber grade PET polyethylene terephthalate at boil temperature. C.I. Disperse Red 324 as a disperse dye was used for dyeing compounded fiber grade PET. The result was compared with corresponding properties of virgin PET. The dyeing rate constants and diffusion coefficients a...

The present work deals with the ways of testing the compatibility of reactive dyes with cotton in different textile industries in Bangladesh. This report includes three laboratory trials that were carried out for three different reactive dyes to check the compatibility for use in a dye recipe on cotton knitted goods. In this study, Spectrophotometric analysis was conducted and the fixation of e...
