ORANGE TO BROWN MINERAL DYEING ARE CONVENTIONALLY PREPARED FROM TWO BATH SYSTEMS, WHERE THE FABRIC IS WETTED WITH ONE BATH CONTAINING AN IRON SALT, AND THEN WETTED WITH ANOTHER BATH CONTAINING ALKALI, TO CAUSE THE COLORED IRON OXIDE TO DEPOSIT IN THE FABRIC AS A MINERAL DYE. THIS HAS BEEN NECESSARY UP TO NOW, SINCE IT HAS BEEN CHEMICALLY INCOMPATIBLE TO HAVE THE IRON IN THE SAME ALKALINE BATH WITH THE ALKALI. THIS INVENTION DEMONSTRATES THAT A HEAT DECOMPOSABLE COMPLEX OF THE IRON, WITH OR WITHOUT MANGANESE, CAN BE COMPATIBLE WITH ALKALINE ZIRCONYL AMMONIUM CARBONATE SOLUTIONS IN THE SAME BATH, WHEN CELLULOSICS CAN BE WETTED IN THIS BATH, AND SUBSEQUENTLY MINERAL DYED BY HEAT CURING, WHEN THE COPMPLEX OF IRON DECOMPOSES TO DEPOSIT IRON OXIDE WITH ZIRCONIA, THE ZIRCONYL AMMONIUM CARBANATE DECOMPOSING AT THE SAME TIME TO DEPOSIT ZIRCONIA. WHEN HEPTAVALENT MANGANESE (KMNO4) IS INCORPORATED INTO THE BATH WITH THE COMPLEXED IRON IT IS SOLUBLE AND COMPATIBLE, PRODUCING MANGANESE DIOXIDE (MNO2) BY REDUCTION PRODUCTS FROM THE IRON COMPLEX, RESULTING IN VARIOUS SHADES OF ORANGE TO BROWN WITH THE IRON OXIDE AND ZIRCONIA ALSO DEPOSITED. THIS PROCESS MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO DEPOSIT ORANGE TO BROWN WASH-FAST MINERAL DYEING FROM A SINGLE BATH. THE DEPOSITED ZIRCONIA ATTRIBUTES A DEGREE OF WATER REPELLENCY AND ALGAECIDAL RESISTANCE TO THE FABRIC, AND A COPPER OR PHENYL-MERCURY SALT CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO THE ZIRCONYL AMMONIUM CARBONATE COMPONENT OF THE SYSTEM TO DEPOSIT A FUNGICIDAL MINERAL DYE OF ORANGE TO BROWN SHADE ON HEAT CURING, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO APPLY AN IRON AND/OR MANGANESE MINERAL DYE WITH OR WITHOUT FUNGICIDE FROM A SINGLE BATH, REDUCING CONVENTIONAL DYEING PROCEDURES FROM TWO OR MORE BATHS, TO A SINGLE BATH REQUIRING ONLY A SIMPLE PAD, DRY, AND CURE PROCEDURE TO EFFECT THE DYEING. THE FABRICS ARE NOT SERIOUSLY TENDERED AND THE RESIDUAL BY-PRODUCT SALTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE REMOVED BY WASHING, SINCE THE FABRIC IS NOT STIFFENED BY THEIR PRESENCE AND THE DYED COLORS ARE UNAFFECTED ON STANDING.
