Textile-finishing industry

1999
This chapter focuses on the adoption of innovations that reduce the environmental effects of textile dyeing and printing. The traditional textile-finishing process with reactive dyes causes considerable harmful emissions due to low fixation ratios (about 60 per cent). The effort to reduce the amount of dyes in the wastewater takes different routes. One
