The invention relates to a
processing method of salt-free
dyeing through activated dye, which includes the steps of: (1), acid
pickling and
enzyme washing of cotton fabric after the pretreatment of scouring and bleaching; (2) mixing water with
organic solvent at volume ratio of (1:4)-(1:9) to form a
mixed solution, and then adjusting the pH value of the
mixed solution; and (3)
dyeing the pretreated cotton fabric in 20-30 DEG C activated dye by using the
mixed solution, then carrying out water scrubbing, acid
pickling, soaping, hot-water scrubbing, color fixing and
softening on the dyed cotton fabric, and finally recovering the
solvent. With the
processing method, the adsorption rate and the equilibrium adsorption amount of the activated dye are improved, and environmental and ecological problems caused when large quantity of inorganic salt is used are completely solved. In the
dyeing process, the input of inorganic salt is omitted, so the operational techniques and the labor intensity in the dyeing process are effectively simplified and the production cost is reduced. Through a
solvent recovery system, the
solvent contained in the dyeing residue of the hydrosolvent is recovered for cycle use. Therefore, the
recovery and the recycling of the resource are realized, the production cost is saved and the
pollution to the environment is alleviated.
