Abstract

The use of supercritical carbon dioxide is emerging as a potential method for achieving pollution-free dyeing. An important factor in supercritical fluid dyeing is the solubility of the dye in supercritical carbon dioxide. Our measurements show that the solubility of C. I. Disperse Red-60 dye in supercritical carbon dioxide is significantly enhanced upon addition of polar csolvents : ethanol and acetone. The solubility enhancement is attributed to the formation of hydrogen bonds between cosolvent and dye molecules. Observed solubility behavior is correlated using dilute-solution theory with lattice-fluid-hydrogen-bonding model. Needed physical and hydrogen-bonding molecular parameters are estimated using the experimental data.
