Le CO₂ supercritique au service de procédés textiles durables : de l’éco-extraction à la teinture sans eau, de l’ACV aux applications industrielles
L’industrie textile demeure fortement consommatrice d’eau, d’énergie et d’auxiliaires chimiques, en particulier lors des opérations de préparation et de teinture. Dans ce contexte, le CO₂ supercritique constitue un milieu de procédé particulièrement intéressant pour développer des technologies textiles plus sobres et limiter la production d’effluents aqueux.
Cette conférence présentera les fondements thermodynamiques et de transfert de matière qui gouvernent l’utilisation du CO₂ supercritique, puis leur mise en œuvre dans deux approches complémentaires : l’éco- extraction de molécules colorantes à partir de biomasses végétales et la teinture textile en milieu supercritique. Les résultats obtenus sur différents extraits naturels, colorants et fibres seront discutés à travers les performances colorimétriques, l’homogénéité de la teinture et l’effet du prétraitement au CO₂ supercritique. Une attention particulière sera accordée à la teinture sans eau de tissus à forte teneur en coton, ainsi qu’à l’apport de la modélisation moléculaire pour mieux comprendre les interactions fibre–colorant.
Au-delà des performances technologiques, la dimension environnementale sera abordée par une analyse comparative du cycle de vie entre un procédé conventionnel et un procédé de teinture supercritique, basée sur les normes ISO 14040/14044, la base Ecoinvent et la méthode IMPACT 2002+. Cette approche permet d’identifier les principaux postes d’impact et d’évaluer les bénéfices et les contraintes du changement d’échelle. Enfin, les perspectives d’industrialisation, de recyclage du CO₂ et d’intégration de ces technologies dans une logique de procédés circulaires seront discutées.

Salah Jellali currently holds the position of senior researcher in Water & Environmental Engineering at the Centre for Environmental Studies and Research (CESAR) of Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), Oman. His primary research focus revolves around local management and governance of solid and liquid wastes within the framework of circular economy and sustainability. A key area of his expertise involves the conversion of organic biomasses into biochars and valorization as efficient adsorbents for wastewater treatment and/or as biofertilizers in agriculture. He has supervised several PhD theses and Master students regarding sustainable solid and liquid wastes management and one of his PhD students received the presidential award of best national thesis in 2018. Dr. Jellali has authored over 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers and book chapters and received the SQU’s best researcher award for the period 2020-2022 and 2025.
Recent Advances on Biochars Enrichment with Phopshorus
Born and raised in a modest family, Professor Al-Dahhan exhibited exceptional academic prowess from a young age, consistently ranking at the top of his classes and demonstrating an insatiable thirst for learning. His journey in academia began at the University of Baghdad, Iraq, where he graduated as the first-ranked student in the Chemical Engineering Department. The young researcher then moved to Oregon State University, United States, where he worked under the guidance of Dr. Charles Wicks, pursuing a master’s degree that resulted in the development of the Al-Dahhan Cell (1988) for liquid-liquid mass transfer and reaction studies (which was later refined to evolve into the Dow-Al-Dahhan Cell for gas-liquid mass transfer and reaction studies).
Recommended by Professor Levenspiel, Dr. Al-Dahhan went on to pursue his doctoral research under the direction of Professor Michael Dudukovic at the Chemical Reaction Engineering Laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis. This was a major turning point in his career, as he started working on three-phase catalytic reactors, specifically on the hydrodynamics of trickle bed reactors. His work elucidated, among others, the effect of packing fines in trickle bed reactors, the operation of trickle bed reactors under high pressure, and catalytic wetting efficiency. His doctoral work resulted in several seminal papers that are important milestones in the understanding of trickle bed reactors.
Upon completing his Ph.D., Dr. Al-Dahhan had a brief stint in industry at Xytel Corporation and subsequently returned to the Chemical Reaction Engineering Laboratory (CREL) at Washington University in St. Louis, United States, to pursue an academic career. Together with senior colleagues, Drs. Michael Dudukovic and P. A. Ramachandran, Dr. Al-Dahhan embarked on two decades of prolific research in reaction engineering. The Laboratory established itself as a key research center on non-invasive imaging of multiphase reactors, computational fluid modeling of reactors, and scale-up and scale-down of reactors, among others.
Later, Dr. Al-Dahhan moved to the Missouri University of Science and Technology, United States, where he has been since pursuing a distinguished career in research and academics, where he is currently the Curators’ Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science, as well as the Laufer Endowed Chair in Energy. He has also served as Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from January 2009 to June 2019.
