A decolorization method for a dyed fiber cloth is provided. The decolorization method for the dyed fiber cloth includes steps of: providing a fiber cloth attached with a dye, extracting the dye attached on the fiber cloth by an extractant, and applying a microwave to evaporate the extractant so as to obtain a dried and decolored fiber cloth.

Described herein are apparatuses and methods for dyeing garments. An exemplary apparatus comprises a dye injection system configured to dispense concentrated liquid dye; a dyeing machine comprising a dyeing chamber configured for dyeing at least one garment in a dyebath; and a controller in communication with the dye injection system and the dyeing machine, wherein the controller is configured: to receive at least one garment parameter corresponding to the at least one garment; based at least in part on the at least one received garment parameter, cause the dye injection system to dispense a volume of concentrated liquid dye containing an amount of dyestuff that can be substantially absorbed by the at least one garment; and cause the dyeing machine to execute a dye cycle such that substantially all of the dyestuff in the dispensed concentrated liquid dye is absorbed by the at least one garment within the dyeing chamber.

A waterless dyeing device for cone yarn, a waterless dyeing method and a produce are provided; wherein the device comprising: a dye autoclave (1); a dyeing autoclave (2); a recycle autoclave (6); a dyeing circulation system in which the dye autoclave (1), the dyeing autoclave (2) and the recycle autoclave (6) are in fluid communication with; wherein further comprises: a cone yarn inlet formed on the top of the dyeing autoclave (2), which is provided with a sealing cap (7); a cone yarn center shaft (10) vertically disposed at the center inside the dyeing autoclave, which is a perforated outlet tube with fluid discharge holes opened on the side wall; an intake pipe (13) disposed on the bottom of the dying autoclave (2) which is in communication with the cone yarn center shaft (10); a dyeing autoclave outlet (9) disposed on the dying autoclave (2); and a CO2 container (4), a pressure pump, a circulation pump (3) and conduits which are included in the dyeing circulation system. The dyes are disposed in the dye autoclave (1) and the cone yarns are disposed inside the dyeing autoclave (2), CO2 is introduced into the dye autoclave (1) to dissolve the dyes gradually, and the CO2 carrying the dyes to the dyeing autoclave (2) to dye and diffuse. The present invention has the advantages of being high in production efficiency, even in dyeing effect and high in safety, and is suitable for waterless dyeing of polyester cone yarns.

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 CO.sub.2 to supercritical CO.sub.2 (Sc—CO.sub.2); a second pressurizing pump for pressurizing CO.sub.2 to liquefied CO.sub.2; a liquefied CO.sub.2 storage vessel for storing the liquefied CO.sub.2 and the separated liquefied CO.sub.2 from the one or more cyclone separators; a heater for heating the Sc—CO.sub.2; a dyestuff vessel for mixing a dyestuff and the Sc—CO.sub.2 to obtain Sc—CO.sub.2-mixed dyestuff; a dyeing vessel for dyeing the textile by circulating the Sc—CO.sub.2 and the Sc—CO.sub.2-mixed dyestuff between the dyeing vessel and the dyestuff vessel; and one or more cyclone separators for removing the dyestuff from the Sc—CO.sub.2-mixed dyestuff to obtain separated liquefied CO.sub.2.
