In the present review, we have been able to describe the different families of dyes and pigments used in textile finishing processes (Yarns, fabrics, nonwovens, knits and rugs) such as dyeing and printing. These dyes are reactive, direct, dispersed, indigo, sulphur and vats. Such that their presence in the liquid effluents resulting from the textile washing constitutes a serious risk, in the absence of their purification, for the quality of receiving aquatic environments. Indeed, the presence of these dyes and pigments can cause a significant alteration in the ecological conditions of the aquatic fauna and flora, because of the lack of their biodegradability. This has a negative impact on the equilibrium of the aquatic environment by causing serious dangers, namely the obvious dangers (Eutrophication, under-oxygenation, color, turbidity and odor), the long-term dangers (Persistence, bioaccumulation of carcinogenic aromatic products and formation of by-products of chlorination), mutagenicity and carcinogenicity.

The present research focused on a coating formulation for aluminum surface 2024-T3 to protect it from corrosion. The formulation consisted of a polymeric epoxy resin-coated bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) cured with a polymeric polyaminoamide. The coated aluminum 2024-T3 was tested in a harsh environment of electrolyte solution (3 wt% NaCl solution) to simulate the harsh marine environment. The coated sample was evaluated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Under these conditions, a very high impedance (Z) value was obtained; even after exposure for a period longer than 4392 h, the performance was still acceptable. Surface morphological study of metallic specimens before and after exposures to the simulated marine environment (3 wt% NaCl) was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the DGEBA-polyaminoamide (DGEBAAA) performed as an excellent barrier for Al surface. The results were combined by several modeling approaches involving molecular dynamics simulation (MD), Monte Carlo methods (MC), and the electronic density functional theory (DFT) computations to explore the adhesion forces between the DGEBAAA and the aluminum surface. The computational MD, MC, and DFT studies were executed in aqueous media. Computational results further evidenced the stronger DGEBA-aminoamide adhesion onto the aluminum 2024-T3 even in a wet environment.
