Abstract
The study aims to produce naphthenates (cyclohexane dicarboxylate) obtained from side fractions of petrol and used
as dyestuff in the textile sector to abate waste-oriented pollution and to reutilize petroleum-based wastes. The
investigations showed that obtaining blue dyestuff from copper, red dyestuff from cobalt and yellow dyestuff from nickel
was possible. Moreover, it was determined that wool fabric could be dyed with good colour fastness with the dyestuffs
mentioned. Therefore, this will help to reduce environmental pollution by addressing a novel and beneficial area of usage
for naphthenates, produced via waste recycling.
