Abstract: A method for decolorizing a dyed textile comprising a synthetic fiber and a disperse dye, the method includes contacting the dyed textile with a super critical fluid thereby extracting at least a portion of the disperse dye from the textile into the super critical fluid and forming an at least partially decolorized textile.

Abstract: A method and an integrated system for dyeing synthetic, natural, and blended textiles in the form of fabrics, yarns, and garments are provided. The integrated system includes a first pressurizing pump for pressurizing liquefied CO2 to supercritical CO2 (Sc—CO2); a second pressurizing pump for pressurizing CO2 to liquefied CO2; a liquefied CO2 storage vessel for storing the liquefied CO2 and the separated liquefied CO2 from the one or more cyclone separators; a heater for heating the Sc—CO2; a dyestuff vessel for mixing a dyestuff and the Sc—CO2 to obtain Sc—CO2-mixed dyestuff; a dyeing vessel for dyeing the textile by circulating the Sc—CO2 and the Sc—CO2-mixed dyestuff between the dyeing vessel and the dyestuff vessel; and one or more cyclone separators for removing the dyestuff from the Sc—CO2-mixed dyestuff to obtain separated liquefied CO2.
