Abstract
Description
본 발명은 나노섬유의 염색방법에 관한 것으로서, 구체적으로는 나노섬유를 염욕 내에 침지시키는 습식방법으로 염색할 때 염욕 내에 침지된 나노섬유에 방사선을 조사해 줌으로써 염색조제, 물, 에너지의 소비량을 최소화하고, 염색시간을 단축하고, 염색 중 나노섬유가 손상되거나 나노섬유 폭이 축소되는 것을 효과적으로 방지하는 나노섬유의 염색방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of dyeing nanofibers, and specifically, by dyeing a nanofiber immersed in a salt bath by irradiating the nanofibers immersed in the salt bath to minimize the consumption of dyeing aids, water, and energy. In addition, the present invention relates to a method of dyeing nanofibers, which shortens dyeing time and effectively prevents nanofibers from being damaged or reduced in width.
이하, 본 발명에서는 "나노섬유"라는 용어는 천연 고분자 또는 합성 고분자를 전기방사하는 방법으로 제조되어 평균직경이 1~1,000㎚인 섬유를 의미한다.
Hereinafter, in the present invention, the term "nanofiber" refers to a fiber having an average diameter of 1 to 1,000 nm manufactured by a method of electrospinning a natural polymer or a synthetic polymer.
섬유 산업은 주로 습식 공정으로 이루어져 있기 때문에 다량의 용수와 약품, 에너지의 소비가 크게 요구되고 있으며, 특히 염색 공정에서 사용된 염료, 첨가제, 물 및 에너지 등의 대부분이 폐수와 배기 형태로 외부로 배출되기 때문에 오랜 동안 대표적인 환경오염의 주범으로 지목 받아 왔다. 염색 공정에 있어서의 대기오염은 다량의 열에너지가 요구되는 공정으로 이에 대응되는 이산화탄소 배출 및 공정에 따라 특정 유해물질이나 악취가 배출되기도 한다. 이산화탄소는 지구온난화 원인 중의 하나로 지구온난화가 심각해짐에 따라 기후변화협약을 통해 국가별 이산화탄소 배출량을 규제 받는 상황에 이르렀을 때 이 협약으로 인해 다량의 에너지 소비 업종인 염색업계는 크게 악영향을 받을 것이다. Since the textile industry is mainly composed of wet processes, large amounts of water, chemicals, and energy are required, and most of the dyes, additives, water, and energy used in the dyeing process are discharged to the outside in the form of wastewater and exhaust. As a result, it has been pointed out as a major cause of environmental pollution for a long time. Air pollution in the dyeing process is a process that requires a large amount of thermal energy, depending on the corresponding carbon dioxide emissions and processes, certain harmful substances or odors may be emitted. Carbon dioxide is one of the causes of global warming, and as the global warming becomes severe, the climate change convention will lead to the regulation of national CO2 emissions, which will greatly affect the dyeing industry, a large energy consumption industry.
수질오염 측면에서 볼 때 염색은 생산 제품 중량 대비 200배의 용수가 다량으로 사용된다는 점이다. 우리나라는 이미 물 부족 국가로 분류된 상황에서 염색업종은 매우 불안한 기반 위에 서 있다 할 수 있다. 또한 사용된 용수의 거의 대부분이 폐수의 형태로 배출되어 폐수처리 시 미치는 부하가 크기 때문에 결과적으로 국내의 주요 수질 오염원에 크게 차지하고 있다. In terms of water pollution, dyeing means that 200 times more water is used than the weight of the product. As Korea is already classified as a water shortage country, the dyeing industry is on a very unstable base. In addition, since most of the water used is discharged in the form of wastewater, the load on wastewater treatment is large, and as a result, it occupies a large amount of major water pollution sources in Korea.
또한, 상기 염색 공정에 존재하는 문제점뿐만 아니라 1~100 nm 범위의 크기를 갖는 나노 섬유를 염색할 경우 일반적인 방법으로 염색 시 온도 상승에 따라 나노 섬유의 넓은 표면적은 나노 섬유를 손상시키고 또한 섬유 폭이 크게 줄어드는 단점을 가지고 있다.
In addition, when dyeing nanofibers having a size in the range of 1 to 100 nm as well as the problems present in the dyeing process, the large surface area of the nanofibers damages the nanofibers and increases the fiber width as the temperature increases during dyeing in a general manner. It has a drawback that is greatly reduced.
본 발명의 과제는 나노 섬유를 습식방식으로 염색 하는데 있어서, 염색 시 동반되는 화학약품, 물, 시간, 에너지 등을 최소화 시키면서, 이에 동반되는 생산 단가 및 수질, 대기 오염을 최소화하는 것이다.An object of the present invention is to minimize the chemicals, water, time, energy, etc., which are involved in dyeing the nanofibers in the wet method, and to minimize the production cost and water quality, air pollution.
본 발명의 또 다른 과제는 넓은 표면적을 갖는 나노섬유가 습식 염색 중에 손상되거나 나노섬유의 폭이 줄어드는 현상을 효과적으로 방지하는 것이다.Another object of the present invention is to effectively prevent the phenomenon that the nanofibers having a large surface area are damaged during wet dyeing or the width of the nanofibers is reduced.
이와 같은 과제들을 달성하기 위해서 본 발명에서는 나노섬유를 염욕 내에 침지시키는 습식방식으로 염색할 때 염욕 내에 침지된 나노섬유에 방사선을 조사해 준다.
In order to achieve the above problems, the present invention irradiates the nanofibers immersed in the salt bath when the dyeing in a wet manner in which the nanofibers are immersed in the salt bath.
본 발명은 습식으로 염색할 경우에 동반되는 염료 이외에 첨가제의 사용량을 최소화할 수 있고, 물과 에너지의 소비량도 감소할 수 있고, 염색시간도 단축할 수 있다.The present invention can minimize the amount of additives used in addition to the dyes when wet dyeing, water and energy consumption can be reduced, dyeing time can be shortened.
또한, 본 발명은 넓은 표면적을 갖는 나노섬유가 습식염색 중에 손상되거나 나노섬유의 폭이 습식염색 중 줄어드는 현상을 효과적으로 방지할 수 있다.In addition, the present invention can effectively prevent the phenomenon that the nanofibers having a large surface area are damaged during the wet dyeing or the width of the nanofibers is reduced during the wet dyeing.
또한, 본 발명은 염색 공정이 완료된 후 나노 섬유에 고착되지 않은 염욕 내에 잔존 염료는 방사선 조사에 의해 발색단 기능이 소멸되었기 때문에 염색 후에 폐수 처리가 용이하게 한다.
In addition, the present invention facilitates wastewater treatment after dyeing, since dye remaining in the dye bath which is not fixed to the nanofibers after the dyeing process is completed is chromophore function disappeared by irradiation.

상기 방사선의 조사량은 1kGy ~ 500kGy인 것이 바람직하다. 방사선의 조사량이 1kGy 미만인 경우에는 앞에서 설명한 본 발명의 효과를 얻기 어렵게 되고 500kGy를 초과하는 경우에는 염욕 내에 염료의 발색단 기능이 심하게 소멸되어 염색성이 저하될 수 있다.The radiation dose is preferably 1 kGy to 500 kGy. If the radiation dose is less than 1 kGy, it is difficult to obtain the effects of the present invention described above, and if it exceeds 500 kGy, the chromophore function of the dye may be severely dissipated in the dye bath and the dyeability may be reduced.
상기 방사선으로는 감마선 또는 전자선등을 포함하는 모든 종류의 방사선이 사용가능하다.As the radiation, any kind of radiation including gamma rays or electron beams can be used.
