“…Due to growing environmental concerns, several alternative methods for dyeing cotton fibre have been investigated and reported in the literature, including neutral pH dyeing, supercritical carbon dioxide dyeing, reverse micellar dyeing, low‐salt or salt‐free dyeing, clay nanoparticle dyeing, silicone‐based dyeing, two‐solvent miscible dyeing, dyeing with reused wastewater, dye‐solvent suspension dyeing and natural mordant dyeing . The addition of different dyeing methods, modifications of fibre properties (such as cotton cationisation and polymer grafting on cotton), inventions of new reactive dyes with reduced requirements for salt and soda ash, and advancements in effluent treatment technologies, have also been reported.…”
