White rot fungi, Phanerochaete sp. EJ-31L, was evaluated for its ability to decolorize Remazol Black B, an azo dye that is a widespread pollutant in the wastewater of textile industry. It was observed that extent of decolorization by Phanerochaete sp. EJ-31L was dependent on the concentrations of co-carbon and nitrogen source. Effects of agitation and aeration were studied, and agitated culture at aeration condition resulted in greater extent of decolorization than static culture. Remazol Black B was readily decolorized up to 95% within 64 hr by Phanerochaete sp. EJ-31L.

In this research, we synthesized Au/TiO2/graphene composites using ionic surfactants for the exfoliation of graphite layers, directly. In the graphene composite, TiO2 with thin nanosheet shapes was distributed on the graphene surface and Au nanoparticles with less than 10 nm sizes were evenly distributed on the surface of the TiO2 nanosheets. The Au/TiO2/graphene composite was then applied to the photodegradation of various dyes such as methylene blue, methylene orange and rhodamine 6G, and B. Among them, the methylene blue showed the most excellent photodegradation activity (91.6%) while the rhodamine B exhibited 31.0%.

The effects of agents in padding liquor on the fixation of vinylsulfonyl reactive dye of ground color and on the resist-dischargeability in resist-discharge printing of cotton fabrics with reactive/reactive dyes were investigated. Alkalis, such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium acetate and trichloro sodium acetate, were used to fix the dye for ground color on cotton fabrics. Sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate showed a good fixation of the dye for ground color, but they were ineffective to the white and the colored resistdsichargeabilities, which were caused by the fast fixation of the dye for ground color before its reaction with resist agent in printing paste. Therefore these are not suitable for the agent to fix the dyes for ground color because they deteriorate the resist-dischargeability. In case of sodium acetate, as the fixation yield of the dye for ground color was remarkably low. and the white resistdischargeability was not good, it had better not be used for the agent to fix the dye for ground color. However, the addition of sodium trichloroacetate to padding liquor gave a very good fixation yield of ground color, and showed an excellent resist-dischargeability. The effects of acetic acid in padding liquor on the fixation of the dye for ground color and on the resist-dischargeability were studied in case of immediate printing of resist-discharge pastes after padding and drying and in cases of printing after 1∼3 day-storage of padded goods. By the addition of 2% of 48% acetic acid aqueous solution to padding liquor, the white and the colored resist-dischargeabilities were improved and the fixation of the dye for ground color was good without any troubles. Especially, when the padded goods were stored for 2 or 3 days and printed with resist-discharge printing pastes, its addition was very effective on the resist-dischargeability.

In this study, the photocatalysed degradation of safranin-O was investigated using Au colloids. Au metal nanoparticle wasused to eliminate safranin-O fast in solution. Au nanoparticles were prepared reduction method using $Na_2CO_3$ and PVP in aqueous solution. The degradation of safranin-O was examined using a variety of condition such as concentration of Au colloid or Au salt, reaction pH, and reaction time in the presence of UV light and $H_2O_2$. As the concentration of Au colloid increases, the rate of dye degradation increases. The photo-oxidation of the safranin-O was monitored spectrophotometrically. The properties of Au nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy. In addition, catalytic capacities of Au nanoparticles were also determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy.

The paper includes the utlization of an activated carbon as a potential adsorbent to remove a hazardous fluorescein dye from an aqueous solution. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out for the removal of fluorescein dyes using a granular activated carbon as an adsorbent. The effects of various parameters such as pH, amount of adsorbent, contact time, initial concentration and temperature of the adsoprtion system were investigated. The experimental results revealed that activated carbon exhibit high efficiencies to remove fluorescein dyes from the aqueous solution. The equilibrium process can be well described by Freundlich isotherm in the temperature range from 298 K to 318 K. From adsorption kinetic experiments, the adsorption process followed a pseudo second order kinetic model, and the adsorption rate constant ($k_2$) decreased with increasing the initial concentration of fluorescein. The free energy of adsorption ${\Delta}G^0$), enthalpy ${\Delta}H^0$), and entropy (${\Delta}S^0$) change were calculated to predict the nature adsorption. The estimated values for ${\Delta}G^0$ were -17.11~-20.50 kJ/mol over an activated carbon at 250 mg/L, indicated toward a spontaneous process. The positve value for ${\Delta}H^0$, 33.2 kJ/mol, indicates that the adsorption of fluorescein dyes on an activated carbon is an endothermic process.

PET microfibers with various diameters (0.5, 0.2, 0.06, and 0.01 dpf) were dyed with a dispersed dye (C.I. Disperse Blue 56) at various temperatures. The dyeing process was conducted under infinite dyebath conditions at constant temperatures. The effects of the dyeing temperature and diameter on the partition coefficient, affinity, and diffusion coefficient of disperse dyes were studied. The curve of isotherms was fitted well to Nernst-type model in a large range of initial dye concentrations. At the same temperature, the partition coefficient and affinity decreased with increasing sample diameter due to the increase in surface area. At all deniers, the partition coefficient and affinity decreased with increasing temperature because the dyeing process is an exothermic reaction. In addition, the decrease in radius of the sample gives rise to a decrease in the heat of dyeing. The fine diameter of the sample resulted in an increased surface area but decreased space between the microfibers. Consequently, decreasing the diameter of the microfibers leads to a decrease in the diffusion coefficient. At the same diameter, the diffusion coefficient increased with increasing temperature because of rapid dye movement and the large free volume of the sample inside. In addition, thermal dependence of the diffusion coefficient increased when the diameter of the sample increased.

부탄테트라카르복실 산을 이용한 면직물의 DP 가공에서 가장 효과적인 촉매로 알려진 sodium hypophosphite(SHP)를 대체하기 위하여 carbodiimide 촉매의 효과를 알아보았다. Carbo야-imide 촉매로는 cyanamide(CY), dicyandiamide(DCY)와 disodium cyanamide(DSC)를 사용하였다. DCY와 DSC가 일반적으로 CY보다 좋은 방추도와 방축도 등을 보였고 또한 독성이 낮고 저장시 안정도 등이 우수하므로 산업적인 응용이 가능하다. 필요한 방추도와 물리적성질의 균형을 위해서 가공욕의 pH 조절이 가장 중요한 인자로 나타났다. 촉매존재시에 면과 부탄테트라카르복실산의 에스터화 가교 반응 메커니즘을 제아하였다. 또한 황화 염료로 염색된 염색포에 대한 가공 효과 분석시 carbodiimide 촉매가 SHP 보다 대체로 작은 색상 변화를 유발시켰다. 이러한 연구 결과는 부양화와 여러 염료의 색상 변화를 유발시키는 SHP를 사용하지 않고 부탄테트라카르복실 산과 carbodiimide 촉매를 이용한 무포름알데히드, 무인 가공제의 면직물 DP 가공의 가능성을 보여 주고 있다.

The conventional dyeing of wool/cotton blends involves a two bath two step method, i.e., after dyeing of the wool component with acid dyes in an acidic dyebath at $100^\circ{C}$, the dyeing of the cotton component with reactive dyes in an alkaline dyebath is performed. In order to overcome the disadvantage of the conventional two bath two step dyeing method of wool/cotton blends, it had prompted significant effort to the development of the one bath dyeing method which can accomplish savings in time, energy and water usage. To improve dyeing property of wool/cotton blends, cotton component was pretreated with cationizing agent containing chlorohydrine group in aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. This study was carried out to investigate dyeing possibilities of wool/cationized cotton blends with acid dye/reactive dye by one bath two step method.

in order to overcome disadvantage of the conventional two bath dyeing method of polyester/cotton blends, it had prompted significant effort to the development of the one bath dyeing method which can accomplish sayings in time, energy and water usage. Also, when dyeing polyester/cotton blends by the one bath dyeing method, the high salt concentrations needed for the reactive dye can cause particles of disperse dye, used for the polyester component, to aggregate. A supplementary problem that can occasionally be happened is the change of hue that occurs on dyed polyester in an alkaline dyebath. To improve dyeing property of polyester/cotton blends, cotton component was pretreated with epichlolohydrine-trimethylamine hydrochloride in aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to produce a cationized cotton that can be dyed under neutral conditions with reactive dye in a non-electrolytic or il little electrolytic dyebath. The one bath dyeing method of polyester/cationized cotton blends with disperse dye/reactive dye mixture resulted in a satisfactory dyeing property and color yield in comparison with ordinary two bath dyeing method.

It is difficult to dye nylon/viscose rayon mixture fabrics by one-bath one-step dyeing method, because acid dyes and reactive dyes require acidic dyebath for adsorption and alkaline dyebath for fixation respectively. In order to overcome the disadvantage of the conventional two bath two step dyeing method of nylon/viscose rayon mixture fabric, it was pretreated with cationizing agent containing chlorohydrine group in aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The pretreated nylon/viscose rayon mixture fabrics produced cationized fabrics that could be dyed with acid dyes and reactive dyes under neutral condition. This study was carried out to investigate dyeing possibilities, surface reflectance spectra and color characteristics of cationized nylon/viscose rayon mixture fabrics with acid dyes and reactive dyes in a non-electrolytic and neutral dyebath by one bath one step dyeing method.
