“…In the textile industry, cotton fabrics are mainly dyed with reactive dyes because of their high level of washing fastness, a wide gamut of brilliant colors, and low price. − However, the dyeing of cotton fibers by reactive dyes requires a lot of salt, resulting in high water, energy and chemical consumption in the dyeing process, and discharge of a considerable amount of dyeing effluents with high salt content after dyeing. − Efforts have been made to reduce or eliminate the use of salt in the dyeing process, including dyeing machinery improvement, dye chemistry or cotton fiber modification, , the dyeing process, − etc. Thereinto, the modification of cotton fiber with cationic agents has exhibited great potential in reducing the consumption of salt, water, time, energy, and other chemicals in the reactive dyeing process.…”
