Abstract
Concentrated aqueous dye formulations of anionic dyes are prepared from the corresponding crude dye solutions or suspensions, in which the anionic dyes are present as potassium, sodium/potassium or ammonium/potassium mixed salts, by desalinating and concentrating the solutions or suspensions by means of a membrane separation process. Sodium salts of mineral acids or lower organic carboxylic acids are added before or during this process in order to improve the solubility of the dyes and thus the stability of the dye formulations.
