This study measures the influence of pH and polyaluminium chloride (PAC) dosage on the effectiveness of reactive dyes removal. Experiments were carried out for turquoise DG, red DB-8, orange OGR and black DN. The pH was changed from 3.5 to 7.0 and the dosages of PAC from 0.3 to 4.0 mg Al/mg dye. The degree of dyes removal depended on pH and dosage of coagulant. In the pH range from 4.0 to 5.5 t...

The Langmuir – Blodgett (LB) method is one of the useful techniques to prepare ultra-thin films with precise organization of embedded dye cations. The main limitations for the preparation of LB films is that the surfactants, building blocks of the LB films, must be amphiphiles and not soluble in water. In our study we used laser dye cation (rhodamine) with long alkyl chain in the structure, whi...

Polyguanidinium oxanorbornene ( PGON) was synthesized from norbornene monomers via ring-opening metathesis polymerization. This polymer was observed to be strongly antibacterial against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as nonhemolytic against human red blood cells. Time-kill studies indicated that this polymer is lethal and not just bacteriostatic. In sharp contrast to previousl...

A simple and rapid analytical method for the determination of trace levels of five sulphonated and azo sulphonated reactive dyes: Cibacron Reactive Blue 2 (C-Blue, trisulphonated dye), Cibacron Reactive Red 4 (C-Red, tetrasulphonated azo dye), Cibacron Reactive Yellow 2 (C-Yellow, trisulphonated azo dye), Levafix Brilliant Red E-4BA (L-Red, trisulphonated dye), and Levafix Brilliant Blue E-4BA ...

   In the present study, various size of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was synthesized via Sol-gel method. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized ZnO NPs was investigated for the Decolourization of three different colored dyes viz. Congo Red, Acid Blue 9 and Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 under UV lamp. Zinc Chloride (Zncl2) and Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) were ...

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...

Background & Aims of the Study: Azo dyes are employed in industrial processes such as textile industry to create large quantities of colored sewages that have organic and non-organic materials. So, remediation of them is essential. In this project, degradation and mineralization of Acid red 14 (AR14) that is a mono Azo dye and widely used in the textile industries was investi...

Background & Aims of the Study: Azo dyes utilized in industrial processes, such as the textile manufacturing, lead to the creation of huge amounts of colored wastewaters that contain non-organic and organic constituents. Therefore, it is necessary to search for remedies in this regard. This study investigated the degradation and mineralization of Acid red 14 (AR14), which is a mono Azo dye gene...
