Ionic‐liquid‐assisted mixed alkali system for reactive dye fixation in a batch process – optimisation through response surface methodology

Abstract

An ionic liquid, choline hydroxide, was synthesised and used in a mixed alkali system for fixation of homobifunctional reactive dyes. Its molecular structure was confirmed using FTIR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. Response surface methodology was employed to optimise the dyeing conditions for reactive dyes using a sodium carbonate-choline hydroxide mixed alkali system. A Box-Behnken design with three variables, namely sodium carbonate concentration, choline hydroxide concentration, and fixation time, was used to design the experimental runs. Analysis of variance was used to estimate the statistical parameters and to evaluate the quality of the statistical model fit. The quality and model terms were evaluated using Fisher's F-test, the coefficient of determination, and probability values. The interactive effect of operating variables on the response (K/S) was studied using three-dimensional response surface plots. The results obtained from the solutions of highest desirability were found to be comparable with conventionally used alkali systems, namely sodium carbonate alone and sodium carbonate-sodium hydroxide mixed alkali. The ionic liquid choline hydroxide could be effectively used along with sodium carbonate for fixation of reactive dyes, with the advantage of reductions in pollution load, total dissolved solids, and chemical oxygen demand.

Application of D‐optimal design in the analysis and modelling of dyeing of plasma‐treated wool with three natural dyes

“…The decision for the inclusion or exclusion of each factor in the models was made with a 95% confidence level. P ‐values lower than 0.05 indicate that the corresponding factors, interactions, or square terms were statistically significant and therefore could be involved in the model . An ANOVA test was employed for analysis of the experimental results.…”

Optimization of the cationizing condition in salt‐free reactive dyeing of cotton fabric with the pad‐irradiate‐pad‐steam process using response surface methodology

“…RSM is typically employed to model the relationship between multiple experimental variables and one or more responses by modelling linear and nonlinear relationships between experimental variables and responses, as well as their interactions. Conventional one‐factor experiments always fail in modeling the nonlinear relationships between experimental variables and responses and in considering their interactions . Two important types of experimental designs used in RSM are CCD and Box–Behnken design (BBD).…”

“…It uses the relevant data obtained from experiments to fit the functional relationship between variables and response values by means of multivariate quadratic regression equation and to seek the optimal process parameters by analyzing the regression equation (response surface plots and contour plots). The main characteristic of RSM is less test times and higher test precision …”

Solar Based Photocatalytic Decolorization of Four Commercial Reactive Dyes Utilizing Bound TiO₂-Fe₃O₄ Nanocomposite

“…Organic dyes contain kinds of dyes, but 50% of them are synthetic azo dyes [1]. Reactive synthetic dye has become popular, in an average of 50% market share [2]. This dye has bright colors and ease of washing due to its unique reactive groups that covalently bond to the cellulose fiber which is not occurred in the natural dye.…”
