The amount of Chelating dispersant to be added needs to be carefully determined to achieve the best effect.
First, the determination of its addition amount usually takes into account multiple factors. One is the water quality to be treated. If the metal ion content in the water is high, relatively more Chelating dispersant may be needed to effectively chelate these ions. For example, in some industrial water with high hardness, the addition amount needs to be appropriately increased. The second is the specific requirements of the textile printing and dyeing process. Different processes and products may have different requirements for Chelating dispersant. For example, in the dyeing process, in order to ensure the stability and uniformity of the dye, the addition amount should be adjusted according to the type and concentration of the dye.
When the addition amount is too small, Chelating dispersant cannot fully chelate the metal ions in the water or dye liquor, which will cause a series of problems. Metal ions may react with substances such as dyes, affecting the coloring effect of the dyes, causing uneven dyeing such as color flowers and spots on the fabric. In addition, metal ions may also catalyze certain chemical reactions, causing the dye to decompose and reduce the fastness of the dyeing. In addition, during the washing process, the inability to effectively disperse dirt and impurities will result in poor washing effects, and dirt will easily remain on the surface of the fabric, affecting the appearance and quality of the fabric.
However, when the amount of addition is too much, it will also bring adverse effects. On the one hand, it will increase costs and cause unnecessary waste. On the other hand, excessive Chelating dispersant may cause a certain burden on the environment, because it may have a certain impact on the environment such as water bodies when discharged. In addition, in some cases, excessive Chelating dispersant may be incompatible with other auxiliaries and interfere with the normal textile printing and dyeing process. For example, it may affect the effect of certain finishing agents, affecting the feel, waterproofness and other properties of the fabric. In short, when determining the amount of Chelating dispersant to be added, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors and find the most appropriate amount of addition through experiments and experience to ensure that it plays the best chelating and dispersing role in the fields of textile printing and dyeing, while avoiding the problems caused by too much or too little addition.
