Azo dyes constitute the largest and most versatile class of synthetic dyes used in the textile, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries and represent major components in wastewater from these industrial dying processes. Biological decolorization of azo dyes occurs efficiently under low oxygen to anaerobic conditions. However, this process results in the formation of toxic and carcinogenic...

Bio-electro-Fenton microbial fuel cells generate energy through the decomposition of organic matter by microorganisms. The generated electricity drives a Fenton reaction in a cathode chamber, which can be used for the decolorization of dye wastewater. Most of the previous works added expensive platinum catalyst to improve the electrical property of the system. In this research, aligned carbon n...

Textile industries release dangerous wastewater that contain dyes into the environment. Due to their toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic nature, they must be removed before discharge. Liquid–liquid extraction has proven an efficient method for removal of these dyes. As extractants, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have shown excellent results in recent years, as well presenting several green propert...

Abstract Background: At present study, acid modified banana leaf ash was used as an adsorbent for the successful removal of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye from aqueous environments. Materials and methods: The effect of various operating parameters such as pH of solution, dye concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage, and the temperature was investigated. Results: Maximum adsorption capacity of ...

One of the most environmentally friendly methods to treat wastewater, especially synthetic dyes, is production activated carbon from agricultural waste. Tamarind seeds were transformed negative-value waste into in order study removal dyes. The particular agro was soaked ZnCl2 for chemical activation increase its surface area and enhance porosity. Physical tamarind done by carbonization process ...

7-Hydroxystaurosporine (UCN-01), a protein kinase inhibitor in clinical development, demonstrates potent antineoplastic activity. To determine whether specific genetic abnormalities would modulate the response to UCN-01, a model of human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cell lines with differential abnormalities of p16CDKN2, RB, and p53 was used for these studies. Cell growth was measured ...
