Anomalous dyeing behaviour has been found when regular acrylic fibre treated in hydrochloric acid, in which the sulphonic acid group was present entirely in the acid form, was dyed in neutral condition with azo and anthraquinone disperse dyes. In the very early stages of dyeing there was an abnormally high degree of dye exhaustion, with bathochromic (azo) or hypsochromic (anthraquinone) colour changes on the fibre. These phenomena gradually disappeared after prolonged dyeing, with normal adsorption equilibria and colours eventually being obtained. The results were explained on the basis of protonation by the sulphonic acid groups of treated fibre which occurs at the azo nitrogen or the amino nitrogens of the substituents in the 1 — or 1,4‐positions of anthraquinone. The normal adsorption equilibria after prolonged dyeing was attributed to hydrolysis of the cyano side group to form carboxylic acid. This produces ammonia to liberate neutral dye from the protonated dye cation adsorbed electrostatically by the sulphonic acid anion of the treated fibre.
