The textile dyes and fixing agents that used in dyeing process are major contributor to environmental pollution. In the present study, three different organic mordants (Sodium Citrate, Ammonium Acetate, and Potassium Acetate) are used in exhaust dyeing as mordants. Effect of mordant concentrations is studied on fastness properties (color change, rubbing fastness & light fastness) of cotton dyed with reactive dyes using these organic mordants. Comparison of these mordants with conventional fixing agent (NaCl) is also studied in order to evaluate the difference between fastness properties of conventional and organic salts used in this study. We found that the color fastness properties of conventional and organic salts are comparable, better in case of sodium citrate. Similarly color depth on fabric after dyeing with organic as well as inorganic salts is measured using data color. Results confirm that higher values of K/S are obtained for organic salts by using lower organic salt concentration compared to conventional salt. Reduction in total dissolved solids (TDS) of dye effluents is obtained from 6% to 29% for three organic salts as compared to conventional salt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
