Quality Specifications for Dyeing and Effluent Treatment

SDC Classification of Dyes

A class of dyes
Dyes having good leveling and migration properties.

B class of dyes
Dyes having poor leveling or migration properties, which can be dyes uniformly by means of, controlled addition class of dyes. Dyes of poor migration, which require control by temperature, as well as by addition of salt.

Test method for banned amines in dyes

The dyed material is reduced with sodium dithionate in a nitrate buffered medium. After extraction with a suitable solvent, the amines are identified by means of any of the analytical instruments like TLC, GC, MS or HPLC. The maximum limit of detection of an amine component is 30 mg/kg

Treatment of Effluents of Dyeing

Modern dye house has its own system for treatment of effluents of dyeing consisting of a collection tank, settling tank, treatment tank and tank for treated dye liquor. The chemicals used for treating effluents of dye liquor consists of alum, bleaching powder and lime which are applied @ 0.7 kg and 1kg per 1000 litres of dye effluents. The treated dye effluents are then sand filtered before settling.However Small ETP units are being constructed for treating 3000 litres of dye effluents at a cost of Rs. 30000/-
