In this research, utilizing of Arabica spent coffee ground oil was investigated for textile processing applications including scouring and reactive dyeing for cotton. The spent coffee ground oil was extracted using hexane and its chemical compositions were analyzed. The synthesized biosurfactant from spent coffee ground oil was investigated for use in cotton scouring. The results showed that the biosurfactant could well work as a scouring agent for cotton. Much better water absorption and reduced yellowness on cotton were achieved but higher applied concentration was needed as compared with the commercial wetting agent. It was also found that scouring efficiency of the biosurfactant could be promoted by adding alkali i.e. sodium carbonate, into a scouring bath, resulting in a satisfactory scouring level. A study on utilizing spent coffee ground oil in reactive dyeing process informs that by incorporating the oil into an aqueous dyebath to create oil/water dual-phase dyeing system, the dye exhaustion and color yield of Reactive Red 120 dye obtained on cotton could be enhanced without adding salt. This promotes a development of salt-free reactive dyeing process.

In this study, the coconut oil/water dual-phase dyeing system for developing salt-free reactive dyeing process for cotton was established. The selected dyes in this work were hot-dyeing reactive dyes, including C.I. Reactive Red 243, C.I. Reactive Blue 214 and C.I. Reactive Orange 70. A dual-phase dyeing system was performed under various coconut oil to water ratios and a comparative study was conducted on the conventional aqueous-based reactive dyeing in the presence and absence of salt. The results showed that the oil to water ratio of 3:1 imparted the highest colour yields (K/S values) and achieved a superior colour yield to the conventional aqueous-based dyeing. The results also pointed out that better dye fixation could be attained by dyeing cotton with the coconut oil/water dual-phase dyeing process under the optimum conditions. A comparable degree of dye exhaustion was observed for the aqueous-based and the dual-phase dyeing processes, however, the dye fixation was higher for the dual-phase dyeing, indicating less dye hydrolysis in this dyeing system. Consequently, superior colour fastnesses to washing and rubbing were obtained, less dye staining was observed in the case of dual-phase dyeing. A study on reusability of the coconut oil recovered from the spent dyebath for another reactive dyeing cycle was also conducted. The oil from the spent dyebath was directly taken to use without any further purification as a dual-phase medium along with water and the obtained result indicated a reusability potential of coconut oil. From this research, it infers that cleaner reactive dyeing process with the coconut oil/water dual-phase system for cotton could be developed.

Semi-crystalline carbon biochar is derived from spent coffee grounds (SCG) by a controlled pyrolysis process at high temperature/pressure conditions. Obtained biochar is characterized using XRD, SEM, and TEM techniques. Biochar particles are in the micrometer range with nanostructured morphologies. The SCG biochar thus produced is used as reinforcement in epoxy resin to 3 D print samples using the direct-write (DW) method with 1 and 3 wt. % loadings. Rheology results show that the addition of biochar makes resin viscous, enabling it to be stable soon after print; however, it could also lead to clogging of resin in printer head. The printed samples are characterized for chemical, thermal and mechanical properties using FTIR, TGA, DMA and flexure tests. Storage modulus improved with 1 wt. % biochar addition up to 27.5% and flexural modulus and strength increased up to 55.55% and 43.30% respectively. However, with higher loading of 3 wt. % both viscoelastic and flexural properties of 3D printed samples drastically reduced thus undermining the feasibility of 3D printing biochar reinforced epoxies at higher loadings.

As some synthetic dyes are regarded to be toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic, the search for eco-friendly alternatives for the synthesis of dyes and coloration has gained importance. For this reason, this study focused on finding new eco-friendly alternatives for coloring cotton. 100% cotton knitted fabrics were subjected to enzymatic coloration using a commercial laccase enzyme and various precursors. After determining the colors, the effect of pH on the enzymatic dyeing process was investigated. Then the optimization of reaction conditions was also realized statistically for the precursors giving the best results in terms of color. With the aim of obtaining further improvements in color-yield values obtained in enzymatic dyeings, the effect of the pretreatment process and the use of ultrasound were also investigated. Furthermore, the reaction pathways in enzymatic coloration were explained and results were confirmed by means of Fourier Transformed Infrared analysis. As a result of experimental studies, red and lilac colors could be successfully obtained on cotton for the first time in the literature. In this way, the theoretical basis of enzymatic dye synthesis and dyeing of cotton was clarified comprehensively. Furthermore, technical (color reproducibility; washing, rubbing, light and perspiration-fastness values; and UV protection factor), economical (chemical, energy and water consumption required for dyeing (including aftertreatments) of 1 kg fabric) and ecological aspects of enzymatic dyeings were compared with reactive dyeing. According to the experimental results it was found that biological treatment alone was enough for wastewater of enzymatic coloring, while chemical treatment will also be needed in reactive dyeing wastewater. Furthermore, color reproducibility, evenness and UV protection properties of dyed samples were comparable with that of reactive dyeings. However, in terms of the fastness levels achieved, the enzymatic coloring was far behind the reactive dyeing.

Abstract The study presents the results of research on the acute toxicity of a fertilizer formulas made of spent coffee ground (SCG) with addition of ash from low-temperature combustion of biomass or ash with an admixture of magnesium sulphate and blood meal. The experimental fertilizer formulas included also rape oil used as a plasticizer for controlling the nutrients release from the fertiliser. Mustard (Sinapis alba L.), oats (Avena sativa sp. L.), cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and cress (Lepidium sativum L.) were used as test plants species in the experiment. The toxicity tests were performed using a standard procedure of 72 h with the use of Phytotoxkit microbiotest and fertilizer application of 2.5; 5 and 10% (v/v). The obtained results indicated an increase of acute toxicity for all tested plant species, proportionally to the applied doses of the fertilizer. During the 72 h period, the strongest inhibition of seedling growth was recorded in samples consisting of 10% of the tested fertilizers, particularly when they showed considerable level of salinity or low pH values. From the tested plant species, cress (Lepidium sativum L.) turned out to be the most sensitive to the applied fertilizers, the least was cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) for which only a small inhibition of root system growth was observed. The inhibited growth of roots could be attributed to a reduced oxygen access and excessive salinity of the substratum caused by the applied additives.
