in this work, response surface methodology (rsm) and artificial neural network (ann) were used to predict the decolorization efficiency of reactive red 33 (rr 33) by o3/uv process in a bubble column reactor. the effects of four independent variables including time (20-60 min), superficial gas velocity (0.06-0.18 cm/s), initial concentration of dye (50-150 ppm) and ph (3-11) were investigated us...

Neutral red is a dye the azine structure which has been used as an acido-base indicator and a dye in histochemistry. In 1960 Goldhaber introduced Neutral red into the medium of resorbing bone cultures to localize the osteoclast in the living cultures. Using time-lapse microcinematography in order to follow the osteoclasts, he reported excellent contrast could be obtained with Neutral red due to...

Bacterial species capable of decolorizing textile and laboratory dyes were isolated from textile effluent treatment plant. Two bacterial strains (one Gram negative and another Gram positive bacterial strain) were screened for their ability to decolorize Red H5BL (reactive dye), Thymol blue (acid dye), Malachite green, Crystal violet (Triphenyl dye) and Congo red (azo dye). The highest decoloriz...

biosorption of acidic dyes using the live fern azolla filliculoides was studied in a discontinuous system. dye parameters, dye initial concentration and contact time were studied in temperature range of 25-30 ?c and ph=7. it was shown that increasing the 23initial concentration of dye and its contact time resulted in decreasing the dye taking quantity by the absorbent. also, type of dye has an ...

OBJECTIVES This study determined the difference in the location of the caries dye staining endpoint of 1% Acid Red dye in propylene glycol versus that of 1% Acid Red dye in polypropylene glycol. METHODS Freshly extracted permanent molar crowns with primary occlusal carious lesions were chisel-split axially to expose the lesion in cross-section on both halves. One half was stained with propyle...

Biosorption is becoming a promising alternative to replace or supplement the present dye removal processes from dye wastewaters. Based on the results of batch studies on biosorption of the dyes on powdered fungal biomass, Aspergillus niger, an immobilised fungal biomass was used in column studies for removal of four dyes, Acid Blue 29, Basic Blue 9, Congo Red and Disperse Red 1 from aqueous sol...

Background: The presence of even a very small quantity of dye in water bodies is undesirable and affects the water bodies. Dye removal from industrial waste water is significant; hence in this study, a material that is an economical waste product was employed to test its acid dye removing capacity from aqueous solution. Methods: In this study, batch mode experiments were performed in the sorpt...

The removal of color from synthetic wastewater containing Congo red was experimentally investigated using electrocoagulation process. The effects of operational parameters such as current density, electrolysis time, electrolyte concentration, electrode distance, initial dye concentration, initial pH and temperature on color removal efficiency were investigated in this study. The tentative resul...

Flow cytometry has provided a powerful tool for analyzing bacteria-host cell associations. Established approaches have used bacteria, labeled either directly with fluorochromes or indirectly with fluorescently conjugated antibodies, to detect these associations. Although useful, these techniques are consistently unable to include all host cells in the analysis while excluding free, aggregated b...

cotton/polyester knitted fabrics as a major production of textile industry was treated with titanium dioxide nanosized particles. the treated fabric with nanosized tio2 became whiter with a good self-cleaning property. also the discoloration of reactive black 5 dye was studied and reported. the stabilization of tio2 on cotton/polyester knitted fabrics by citric acid (ca) with sodium hypophospha...
