Recent Progress in Waterless Textile Dyeing
Author(s): Iqbal Mahmud* and Shantanu Kaiser
Two new processes of waterless textile dyeing known as air-dye and supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) assisted dyeing is reviewed and discussed. The conventional textile dyeing industries use freshwater as a solvent and drain them as wastewater. Each year trillions of freshwater and over ten thousand dyes and pigments are used globally. The wastewater from these industries is dumped into the surrounding lakes, agricultural fields, rivers, etc. The impact of textile dyeing is therefore significant because it decreases the freshwater level and polluting the surface water unceasingly. Thus, from decades, researchers have tried to develop a technology that is waterless and pollution-free. Because of researcher’s tremendous efforts, two such waterless dyeing method is in our hand now. These processes have multiple advantages over conventional techniques, such as emission.. Read More»
