The ability of four different species of white rot fungi viz., Coriolus versicolor, Termetomyces sp, Pleurotus ostreatus and Schizophyllum commune to remove Azo dyes from aqueous solutions were evaluated in batch culture under laboratory conditions. C. versicolor was found to be the most efficient colour removing species for the three dyes investigated. Maximum removal capacity of C. versicolor...

A series of novel azo-disperse dyes containing alkylhydrazonopyridinone structures were synthesized. 4-Methyl-2,6-dioxo-1-propyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (8) is synthesized by one-pot synthesis using ethyl cyanoacetate, propylamine, and ethyl acetoacetate. Compound 8 is then coupled with aromatic and heteroaromatic diazonium salts to afford the corresponding aryl- and heteroary...

In this study, 8 novel pyrazole disperse dyes which were synthesized in our previous work [1] applied to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6) fiber fabrics their colorimetric fastness properties evaluated. The measured a*, b* hue angle (ho) values of all dyed exhibited yellow, orange red colour shades. Quite high strength (K/S) particularly for c...
