Textile Dyes and Pigments The book covers the best possible innovation and advancement in dyes and pigments for application in textile materials. Green chemistry can be applied across the life cycle of a chemical-intensive product, including its design, manufacture, use, and ultimate disposal. Innovations to green approaches are required either by developing a whole new set of eco-friendly dyes and pigments or by developing and designing unique dyeing methods. Textile Dyes and Pigments: A Green Chemistry Approach is a response to the many industries currently using conventional textile dyeing and pigmentation methods that are looking for sustainable green chemical options. It describes the various organic and inorganic color pigments and recent developments in vat, reactive, disperse, acid, and azo dyes and their importance in the field of green chemistry. It also covers the various challenges, opportunities, approaches, techniques, marketing, and alternative procedures/sustainable routes involved in developing textile dyes and pigments with green practices. Moreover, the book addresses the structure, process, and the nitty-gritty of modern dyes and pigments in the textile and garment sectors. Audience The book will be of prime interest to researchers and industry manufacturers and engineers in dyes, pigments, textile processing technology, fiber technology, and textile chemistry. It will also be an invaluable reference guide to new scholars and industry personnel who wish to learn about green dyes and pigments and their relevant application processes.

Colour is a sensation and as such it is a subjective and incommunicable quantity. Colour measurement is possible because we can create a correspondence between colour sensations and the light radiations that stimulate them. This correspondence concerns the physics of light radiation, the physiology of the visual process and the psychology of vision. Historically, in parallel to standard colorimetry, systems for colour ordering have been developed that allow colour specifications in a very practical and concrete way, based on the direct vision of material colour samples arranged in colour atlases. Colour-ordering systems are sources of knowledge of colour vision, which integrate standard colorimetry. Standard Colorimetry: Definitions, Algorithms and Software: * Describes physiology and psychophysics useful to understand colorimetry * Considers all the photometric and colorimetric systems standardized by CIE (XYZ, CIELAB, CIELUV, LMS) * Presents colorimetric instrumentation in order to guide the reader toward colorimetric practice * Discusses colorimetric computation to understand the meaning of numerical colour specification * Considers colorimetry in colour syntheses and in imaging colour reproduction * Includes ready-to-use, freely-available software, Colorimetric eXercise , which has multiple toolboxes dedicated to * displaying CIE systems, atlases, any colour and its whole numerical specification * colour-vision phenomena and tests Standard Colorimetry: Definitions, Algorithms and Software is an accessible and valuable resource for students, lecturers, researchers and laboratory technicians in colour science and image technology.

Gabriela Siracusano
R1,575 Discovery Miles 15 750 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This is the English language edition of El Poder de los Colores by Gabriela Siracusano, published by Fondo de Cultura Economica, Buenos Aires 2005 - the result of a study of cultural practices related to the uses of coloring materials in the South American Andean region during the Colonial period (XVI to XVIII centuries) and their 'powerful' presence in the images of the Conquest. It offers the reader a new insight into the techniques and use of colour in Andean Colonial painting. Starting with an analysis of the images and the concept of representation during the process of evangelization/domination, the book shows the discursive and iconographic strategies used by different parties to achieve several goals through the use of color. The book's main hypothesis is that colors were silent protagonists of the Andean ritual system, a fact that was identified only by certain 'idol exterminators' who tried to 'rebrand' them by giving them a Christian meaning.

Microalgae can be future resource for industrial biotechnology In current energy crisis era, microalgae are under tremendous research focus for the production of biodiesel due to their high photosynthetic efficiency, growth rate and high lipid content compared to territorial plants. However, the large-scale production of algal biomass and downstream processing of harvested algae towards bio-fuels are facing several challenges from economic viability perspective. Apart from bio-fuels, the microalgae synthesize number of bio-molecules such as pigments (e.g., chlorophyll, carotenoid), protein (e.g., lectin, phycobiliprotein), and carbohydrates (e.g., agar, carrageenan, alginate, fucodian) which are available in the various forms of microalgal products. Therefore, developing a strategy for large-scale production and use of algal biomass for the co-production of these value-added macromolecules is thus imperative for the improvement of the economics of algal biorefinery. In the above context, this book covers three major areas (i) commercial-scale production of bio-molecules from microalgae, (ii) sustainable approach for industrial-scale operation, and (iii) optimization of downstream processes. Each of these sections is composed of several chapters written by the renowned academicians/industry experts. Furthermore, in this book, a significant weightage is given to the industry experts (around 50%) to enrich the industrial perspectives. We hope that amalgamate of fundamental knowledge from academicians and applied research information from industry experts will be useful for forthcoming implementation of a sustainable integrated microalgal biorefinery. This book highlights following. Explores biomolecules from microalgae and their applications Discusses microalgae cultivations and harvesting Examines downstream processing of biomolecules Explores sustainable integrated approaches for industrial scale operations Examines purification techniques specific for microalgal proteins, Omega 3 fatty Acids, carbohydrates, and pigments

In the last two decades the EPA and other national and international agencies have placed increasingly strict regulations on the manufacture and use of synthetic colorants. The pigment and dye industry has had to develop the technology necessary to analyze and remediate pollutants in wastewater. Although these efforts have produced a considerable volume of information, until now, no single book has provided an organized, comprehensive treatment of the environmental chemistry of synthetic colorants.

Environmental Chemistry of Dyes and Pigments is the first comprehensive reference to address the environmental problems posed by synthetic colorants, and to provide a forum for the solutions proposed by industry, government, and academia. Focusing on developments in the field over the past two decades, it deals with all aspects of colored wastewater treatment, the disposal of dyes, analytical methods, toxicity, and regulatory questions.

In its coverage of wastewater treatment, this book addresses both the most commonly used methods and those specifically designed to address pollution problems at the source by analyzing for and removing dyes and pollutants from wastewater effluent. Throughout, real-world data on a wide variety of dyes and dye intermediates is provided, as well as cost-effective strategies for dealing with wastewater treatment.

In addition, several chapters are devoted to the perspectives of national and international experts on regulations governing the manufacture, handling, use, and disposal of synthetic dyes and pigments. The impact these regulations have had on both U.S. and foreign industry is also discussed.

A complete, comprehensive, and up-to-date guide to pollution prevention in the dyestuff and textile industries

Environmental Chemistry of Dyes and Pigments is the only self-contained volume that focuses on the environmental impact of synthetic dyes and pigments. Contributions by international experts from industry, academia, and government make this an indispensable book for anyone dealing with the environmental problems posed by synthetic colorants. It covers the entire range of environmental issues, from waste treatment and analysis to pollution prevention and government regulations.

Covers the latest wastewater treatment methods

Shows how to use recycling and reusing methods effectively, while cutting production costs

Describes state-of-the-art technology, including the PACT(r) system

Explains analysis techniques, including spectrometry and ionization

Covers legislative issues and the regulatory status of various compounds in both the United States and abroad

Examines the various pollution prevention programs instituted by government and industry

Bridging the gap between industrial interests and environmental concerns, Environmental Chemistry of Dyes and Pigments stands as an invaluable resource for scientists, researchers, and engineers in the textile and dyestuff industries, and in the environmental sciences. It is also an extremely useful text for environmental science students.

Indigo has a powerful hold on the imagination but, until now, the actual application of the dye and possible explanations underlying the practice have rarely been considered. The dyestuff is equally fascinating to the scientist, to Adolf von Baeyer in the 19th century, or to the modern chemist using modern instrumental methods for its characterisation. Indigoid dyes, lichen dyes, even mud and other naturally occurring organic colouring matters were among the subjects for discussion at the 18th Meeting of Dyes in History and Archaeology, held in Brussels in 1999. The textiles and other artefacts coloured with the dyes are no less interesting and varied. Romanian and Polish textiles and, as the cover illustrates, Japanese ukiyo-e prints are only examples of the possible uses discussed in this book.

Interest in all aspects of dyestuffs has grown considerably since an informal meeting of researchers twenty years ago developed into the annual forum of Dyes in History and Archaeology. Collections of papers from the meetings, including this one, have been published under the same name. Analysis has revealed that the early 20th century clothing and textile designer, Mariano Fortuny, used natural dyes for his glorious silks and cottons. Natural indigo is still used in some parts of the world, but dyeing with it is harder, less pleasant work than is popularly supposed. Species of Coleus - one of which is the flame nettle, a popular houseplant in the West - are used as sources of red, blue, purple and green dyes in Papua New Guinea and other parts of Asia. Research into the history of dyestuffs covers many disciplines. Their chemistry is especially of fundamental interest: the development of synthetic dyes was a breakthrough for chemical technology and industrial processes. Analysis has enabled the identification of historical textiles dyestuffs and paintings pigments.
