Dyes, inorganic

In contrast to the situation with organic dyes, inorganic anions seem to show no dependence of the rate constants on the degree of solvation.

In mordant dyes, inorganic mordants can be detected to a high degree of sensitivity by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry (20, 22). 

The simplest way of dyeing a fiber is by a direct dye. The dye is dissolved in water so that its concentration is about 0.02 to 0.1 per cent. The amount of dye depends on the weight of the cloth. For light shades the amount of dye is 0.05-0.3 per cent, and for deep shades 4-10 per cent, of the weight of the cloth. A small amount of sulfated alcohol soap is added to reduce the surface tension of the solution and thereby aid in the penetration of the dye. Inorganic salts are added to the dye bath, such as sodium chloride for cotton dyes and sodium sulfate for wool dyes, in amounts varying from 5 to 10 per cent. The fiber is steeped in the dye bath and heated at 80-100° until the proper shade has been... 

Bromine is used in making fumigants, flameproofing agents, water purification compounds, dyes, medicinals, sanitizers, inorganic bromides for photography, etc. Organic bromides are also important. 

The inorganic reductions of NaBH are numerous and varied (Table 7). Comparatively few anions are reduced, yet the reduction of bisulfite to dithionite (hydrosulfite) (25), which is used in the pulp (qv) and paper (qv), clay (see Clays), and vat dyeing industries, is an important inorganic appHcation ofNaBH,. 

Materials. Beside inorganic materials (eg, barium chloride/fluoride crystals, doped with 0.05% samarium), transparent thermoplasts are preferred for the PHB technique, eg, poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMAIA), polycarbonate, and polybutyral doped with small amounts of suitable organic dyes, organic pigments like phthalocyanines, 9-arninoacridine, 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone [81-64-1] (quinizarin) (1), and 2,3-dihydroporphyrin (chlorin) (2). 

Lakes are either dry toner pigments that are extended with a soHd diluent, or an organic pigment obtained by precipitation of a water-soluble dye, frequendy a sulfonic acid, by an inorganic cation or an inorganic substrate such as aluminum hydrate. 

Aromatic amines form addition compounds and complexes with many inorganic substances, such as ziac chloride, copper chloride, uranium tetrachloride, or boron trifluoride. Various metals react with the amino group to form metal anilides and hydrochloric, sulfuric, or phosphoric acid salts of aniline are important intermediates in the dye industry. 

Reduction. Triaryknethane dyes are reduced readily to leuco bases with a variety of reagents, including sodium hydrosulfite, 2inc and acid (hydrochloric, acetic), 2inc dust and ammonia, and titanous chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Reduction with titanium trichloride (Knecht method) is used for rapidly assaying triaryknethane dyes. The TiCl titration is carried out to a colorless end point which is usually very sharp (see Titanium COMPOUNDS, inorganic). 

In the United States the use of coal-tar dyes ia eye makeup is geaerally prohibited. The use of permanent and temporary hair colorants (Tables 16 and 17) and of organic dyes and their lakes is precluded. As a result, only iasoluble inorganic pigments can be used (Table 9). The sensitivity of the eye... 

Large amounts of inorganic materials are consumed in both intermediates and dyes manufacture. 

Inorga.nicNIa.teria.ls. These include acids (sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric, and phosphoric), bases (caustic soda, caustic potash, soda ash, sodium carbonate, ammonia, and lime), salts (sodium chloride, sodium nitrite, and sodium sulfide) and other substances such as chlorine, bromine, phosphoms chlorides, and sulfur chlorides. The important point is that there is a significant usage of at least one inorganic material in all processes, and the overall toimage used by, and therefore the cost to, the dye industry is high.
