2596. To Dye with Palatine Orange. The palatine orange dye is prepared in a similar manner to magenta. (See No. 2575 (To Prepare Magenta for Dyeing).) Render the bath slightly acid by bichloride of tin, and dye at the boiling point. A very fast, but not very brilliant orange is produced. The color may be combined with magenta or indigo paste.
2597. To Dye with Phosphine. Phosphine is treated in the same way as palatine, omitting the sulphuric acid, and substituting a trace of carbonate of soda; or use a soap bath.
2598. To Dye Silk with Aniline Green. Iodine green, or night green, dissolves easily in warm water. For a liquid dye, 1 pound may be dissolved in 1 gallon alcohol, and mixed with 2 gallons of water containing 1 ounce sulphuric acid. This color is almost always a failure in the hands of the amateur, and is not recommended. For silk, no addition to the dye bath is required, the temperature being kept under 180° Fahr.
2599. To Dye Wool with Aniline Green. For wool, prepare two baths, one containing the dissolved dye and a quantity of carbonate of soda, or borax. In this the wool is placed, and the temperature raised to 212° Fahr. A grayish green shade is produced, which must be brightened and fixed in a second bath of water at 100° Fahr., to which some acetic acid has been added. Cotton requires preparation by sumach. (See No. 2577 (To Dye Cotton Magenta).)
2600. To Dye with Iodine Green. Mix 3 pounds of iodine green paste well with about 21/2 pounds of cold water; then add successively, 1 pound acetic acid 8° Baum'e, 80 pounds water of a temperature of 140° Fahr, and 2 pounds liquor ammonia, stirring the mixture well all the while, and filtering it before use. Bring the dye bath to the boiling point; put in as much of the solution as is necessary for the shade required, and dye for half an hour, letting the bath cool off in the meantime. Then have a second water bath of 140° Fahr. ready, prepared as follows, viz.: For every 20 pounds of wool, add 1/2 pound sulphuric acid 66° Baurn'e, and 1/8 pound per-chloride of tin crystals, the latter previously dissolved in an equal quantity of water. Take the goods from the first bath, without washing, into the second bath, turn them in it for 15 minutes, and the green will develop vividly. For yellowish tints, shade off with picric acid (see No. 2601 (To Dye with Picric Acid)), which must be added to the second bath and dyed quickly. By this method, 1 pound of iodine green paste will dye 12 pounds of wool a medium shade. Preserve the first bath, inasmuch as one-third of the dye remains in it, which circumstance is important in renewing the bath, which will, consequently, require one-third less dye-stuff when making it for the second lot.
