Summary: This research focuses on functionalizing a standard polyester fabric with biopolymer chitosan, using alkaline hydrolysis with the addition of cationic and anionic surfactants as promoters. The study compares the compatibility of chitosan with untreated and alkali-hydrolyzed fabrics through the analysis of mechanical and physico-chemical properties. The results show that alkaline hydrolysis of polyester fabric has the best potential for functionalization with chitosan, and the addition of surfactants as promoters is not necessary in the pretreatment process phase.

Summary: Bleaching is a common modification method used in wood dyeing, and it has significant effects on the color control and dyeing properties of the wood. In this study, three different woods were bleached using the NaOH/H2O2/Na2SiO3 method, and then stained using water bath dyeing. The results showed that bleaching made the staining color uniform and increased the dyeing rate, but the equilibrium staining rate decreased for some test samples.

Summary: The research found that biogenic sulfide achieved decolorization of azo dye by directly cleaving azo bonds, with the decolorization efficiency increased up to 3-fold by adding an external carbon source or elevating the initial azo dye concentration. Biogenic sulfide plays a vital role in azo dye decolorization, offering a new possibility for treating dye-laden wastewater.

Summary: The feasibility of using electrooxidation with a boron-doped diamond anode to treat textile dyeing wastewater (TDW) and achieve the quality required for reuse was evaluated. The treated TDW showed a significant reduction in chemical oxygen demand and maintained a stable salt content, allowing for consecutive reuse without the addition of any salts. The electrooxidation process also reduced ecotoxicity, making TDW reuse possible without the risk of severe ecological harm.

Summary: The eco-friendly treatment of complex textile and dyeing wastewaters is a pressing environmental concern. This study examined an approach that utilizes different treatment paths and integrated anaerobic-aerobic processes to treat high-strength and recalcitrant textile dyeing wastewaters. The results showed that polyaluminum chloride precoagulation was effective in removing over 97% of suspended solids (SS) and more than 70% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the suede fabric dyeing stream. Hydrolysis pretreatment also proved successful in removing up to 58% of COD and 83% of SS in other low-strength streams. Additionally, the integrated anaerobic-aerobic treatment achieved notable COD removal of up to 99% from high-strength wastewaters. The anaerobic granular sludge process demonstrated several advantageous attributes, including high feed loading, a smaller footprint, minimal sludge production, and good stability. Overall, the integrated anaerobic-aerobic treatment provides a robust and viable option for highly contaminated and recalcitrant textile dyeing wastewaters.

Summary: In recent years, bioactive textiles have gained consumer attention due to their potential protection against viruses, fungi, and bacteria. However, traditional textile staining processes are environmentally damaging, and current methods of textile functionalization are costly, complex, and have a significant environmental impact. This study proposes a novel one-step dyeing and functionalization method using nanoencapsulated textile dyes (NTDs) as a possible solution to these issues. The results showed that NTDs effectively dyed the target textile and formed hydrogen bonds with the cellulose fiber, leading to a coating of the cotton fiber. The NTDs dyed cotton exhibited good biocompatibility and significant antimicrobial activity, making it a viable and ecological alternative for the development of antimicrobial textiles with potential biomedical applications.

Summary: SeNPs/TG showed relatively narrow size distribution compared to Se NPs, indicating successful synthesis of selenium nanoparticles. The combination of TG with Se NPs resulted in a stabilized solution with enhanced antioxidant activity. While the Se NPs and SeNPs/TG solutions exhibited significant inhibition against bacteria, the treated nanofibers did not show significant antibacterial activity, but did promote fibroblast cell migration in wound healing applications.
