A new composite magnetic chitosan coated cotton (MSCC) fiber with 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as a crosslinking agent was prepared for the adsorption of C.I. Reactive red 194 from aqueous solution. The structure and morphology of MSCC fibers were analyzed by FTIR and SEM. The adsorption behavior of C.I. Reactive red 194 from aqueous solution onto MSCC fibers was investigated under various experimental conditions such as initial concentration of the dyes, temperature, pH and adsorb time. Experimental data indicated that the adsorption capacity of MSCC fibers on C.I. Reactive red 194 was higher in acidic rather than in basic solutions. A rise of temperature accelerates mass transfer of dyes into the MSCC fibers. The kinetics of the interactions was best described by pseudo-second-order mechanism.
In this study, wool fabrics were treated with different concentration of chitosan sulfamic acid solution under using 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as a crosslinking agent. The structure of treated wool fabrics was investigated by SEM, DSC-TG. Treated wool fibers had a irregular surface appearance, showed the presence of amounts of Nano SiO2 and their aggregates deposited onto surface of wool fibers. The thermal properties were obviously enhanced. Treated wool fabrics is more stable in higher temperature than that of untreatment. Treated wool fabrics were dyed with weak acid red B, and dyeing behaviour were studied by means of by light reflectance measurements. The color strength (K/S value) of treated wool fabrics obviousily increased from 5.33 to 31.68 by comparison with the untreatment. As a result, it can be concluded that the chitosan sulfamic acid solution with GPTMS treatment could improve the weak acid red B low temperature dyeing on wool. Further, low temperature dyeing of wool fabrics with chitosan-sulfamic acid is safe, so the results obtained are quite promising as a basis for possible future industrial application.
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.
