In this paper, the effect of pressure release rate on dyeing of wool fibers was studied in the supercritical carbon dioxide dyeing. Surface morphology, chemical composition and color difference at different pressure release rates were investigated by employing scanning electron microscope, color matching, and measuring instrument. Experiment data reveal that wool fibers are easy to be damaged with increasing pressure release rate. Fiber?s surface brightness varies also with the pressure release rate. The phenomena are theoretically explained using Bernoulli's principle.

Supercritical carbon dioxide fluid is an alternative solvent for the water of the traditional dyeing. The solubility of dyestuff affects greatly the dyeing process. A theoretical model for predicting the dye solubility is proposed and verified experimentally. The paper concludes that the pressure has a greater impact on the dyestuff solubility than temperature, and an optimal dyeing condition is suggested for the highest distribution coefficient of dyestuff.

A study has been conducted into the dyeing of silk fabric in supercritical carbon dioxide. In order to reach better dyeing effect, plasma modifying is used to silk. Plasma modifying can decompose disulfide bond of the protein fiber, change the state of scale layer and break silk gum of fiber so that dyestuff could infiltrate. Factors of plasma modifying are fixed, including pH value, processing time. And they affect the values of fabric colour feature and fabric strength. In this work, C.I. Disperse Blue-77 and C.I. Disperse Yellow E-3G are used by combining orthogonal experiment and single factor analysis. During dyeing process, temperature and pressure have a great impact on the result. Modification process and dyeing process are optimized, and the best process is determined. The results presented in this study show dyestuff can infiltrate through modified fabric easily. Through the testing, the washing fastness and rubbing fastness of silk fabric after being modified are improved. The changes between before and after dyeing are analyzed by scanning electron microscope and infrared spectrometer. It is showed that modified fabric obtains a better effect.

This paper investigates the effect of water serving as entrainer on the dyeing of wool fabrics in supercritical carbon dioxide. Compared with previous supercritical dyeing methods, addition of water makes the dyeing process more effective under low temperature and low pressure. During dyeing process, dyestuff can be uniformly distributed on fabrics?s surface due to water interaction, as a result coloration is enhanced while color difference is decreased.

The dissolution behavior of dye in supercritical carbon dioxide influences the overall mass transfer that controls a supercritical dyeing process. Increasing the dissolution rate of the dye leads to shortening of the dyeing process time and can improve the efficiency of the process. Controlling the properties of the carbon dioxide flow is a good method to improve the dissolution rate of dyes. In this study, a dissolution kinetic model was designed by quantitatively analyzing and formulating the dissolution phenomenon of dyes using an in situ UV/Vis spectrometer. Through this model, the dissolution rate was compared by varying the geometric shape of the column containing the dye and the flow rate of carbon dioxide. Moreover, the correlation equation between the Reynolds number and Sherwood number was obtained through mass transfer coefficients derived under various conditions. In order to verify the utility of this equation, it was applied to a scaled-up device and the precise result could be predicted. This study can be useful in the design of dyeing processes and make-up equipment.
