The main goal of the study is to produce eco-friendly furniture dyes by using bio-colorants and determine color stability these in outdoor conditions. In this regard, dye extracts obtained from red beet (Beta vulgaris), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), purple cabbage (Brassica oleracea), as a bio-colorant source, were applied MDF test panels mixing with water-based synthetic lacquer coating...

In this study, the adsorption of 4-hydroxy phenyl-azobenzene on the surface of (4, 0) zigzag open-end boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) has been investigated by quantum calculations. In order to find the preferred adsorption site, different positions and orientations were considered. The impacts of donor-acceptor electron delocalization on the structural and electronic properties and reactivity of ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Discharge of textile industry colored wastewater without enough treatment into natural water resources cause serious pollution. Most of the conventional wastewater treatment methods are not effective enough to remove these dyes from wastewater. In this study, efficiency of electrocoagulation process with iron electrodes for treatment of Reactive Yellow 14 dye...

The goal of this work was to optimize the combination natural dyes producing panchromatic absorption matched AM1.5 solar spectrum for use in dye sensitized cells (DSSCs). Six classes (Anthocyanins, Betalins, Chlorophyll, Xanthonoids, Curcuminoids and Phycobilins) were explored. UV-Vis data radial basis function interpolation used model absorbance 2568 combinations, three objective functions det...

India has a very rich diversity and plantkingdom is certainly a treasure house of diverse natural products. One such product from nature is the dye. In this study, natural colorants mainly flavonoids and carotenoids present in the Marigold flower (TageteserectaL.) were extracted using Soxhlet extraction method and other conventional techniques under different operating conditions. Spectrophotom...

Carthamin, the natural dye of carthamus tinctorius (Golrang) was separated by soxhlet extraction and further purified in good yields. Its mordant dyeing of wool, using potassium dichromate as mordant, showed a high washing fastness (above 4). Mordanting by "sweet chrome", "sour chrome", and "reduced chrome" proved that last one to be superior.
