Study of the water and energy consumptions in the dyeing of cotton with Curcuma Longa by pad-batch process using response surface methodology. <b>Journal of Natural Fibers</b>, v. 19, n. 13, p. 6797-6809, 2022.

Ecological costs, consumption of water, electrical, and thermal energy, were assessed. The application of the model in the studied process versus the conventional process demonstrated that is possible to obtain an economy of 1.418 × 10(6) J kg(‒1) of energy, in addition to an economy of 95% in water consumption, without significant detriment in the color fastness assessed.6797-6809openAccessdyestextilescottoncostecologywater useenergy consumptioncurcuminArtigo de periódico131910.1080/15440478.2021.1932677https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9692-55398668
