Identification of dyestuff from unknown dyed sample
( Direct dye )
Experiment No: 02
Experiment Name : Identification of dyestuff from unknown dyed sample ( Direct dye ).
Introduction:
Dyeing is a distribution process, which is happened in the dye bath between dyes solution &
textile materials.
There are many types of dyes. Such:
Direct dyes
Acid dyes
Basic dyes
Vat dyes
Sulpher dyes
Azonic dyes
Reactive dyes
Disperse dyes etc.
Sometimes it is needed to know the name of the dyes on unknown dyed sample for different
purpose like costing.
Theory:
To identifying of any dyestuff from unknown dyed sample, there are two procedure are
follow. Such:
Procedure 1:
The sample is boiled with 5% soap solution & 10% NH4OH solution for 5 minutes.
Observation Possibility Remarks
1. Color destroyed Direct, acid, basic dye
2. No change Vat, sulphr, napthol, reactive, Not found
aniline
Procedure 2:
Boil the sample with 5% soap & 2% soda solution for 5 minute in presence of
white cotton. Small amount of salt are added into same solution for re-dyeing at
boil.
Observation Possibility Remarks
Color bleeds & the
Direct dye Confirmed
white cotton is dyed

Identification of dyestuff from unknown dyed sample
( Direct dye )
To know the name of the dyes on unknown dyed sample
To know the procedure of identifying the dyes on dyed sample
To know the types of dyes on fabric etc.
Required Chemicals & Apparatus:
Bicker
Pipet
Burner
Conical flux
Raw water
Soap
Soda
Salt
Ammonium hydroxide
Dyed fabric
White cotton fabric
Stop watch etc.
Working Procedure:
Preparation of 5% soap solution:
Taken 5 gm soap on 100 ml water in a bicker to make 100 ml 5% soap
solution.
Preparation of 10% Ammonium hydroxide solution:
Taken 10 gm ammonia on 100 ml water in a bicker to make 100 ml 10%
ammonium hydroxide solution.
Preparation of 2% soda ash solution:
Taken 2 gm soda ash on 100 ml water in a bicker to make 100 ml 2% soda ash
solution.
Procedure 1:
Taken 20 ml soap & ammonium hydroxide solution in a bath
Boiling the solution with unknown dyed sample about 5 minute
During boiling the sample dyed color destroyed
Procedure 2:
Taken 20 ml soap & soda ash solution in a bath with small amount of salt
Boiling the solution with unknown dyed sample & white cotton about 5
minute
During boiling the sample dyed color destroyed & re-dyeing is done on
white cotton sample in the presence of salt.

Identification of dyestuff from unknown dyed sample
( Direct dye )
Unknown dyed sample Color destroyed sample Re-dyeing sample
Result:
So the sample is dyed with direct dyes.
Precaution:
Before each procedure , new sample must be taken
Observation must be perfect
Preparation of solution must be perfect
Weighting of chemical must be careful
Concentration of solution must be perfect
During re-dyeing, salt must be used to ensure the direct dye etc.
Conclusion:
From this experiment, we know about the identification process of unknown dyed sample
which used in wet processing. I know this experiment is very helpful for our job sector &
increase our knowledge about this. Special thanks to our teacher & his assistant for helping us
to know it properly.
Thanks
