Four selected azo dyes (acid orange 6, acid orange 7, methyl orange and methyl red) were completely decolourised in the presence of anaerobic granular sludge, while only methyl red was degraded in aerobic conditions using a conventional activated sludge. Additional experiments with culture broth devoid of cells showed that anaerobic decolourisation of azo dyes was performed by extracellular red...

In the title compound, C(22)H(21)NO(5)S, the 2-naphthol group and the thio-phene ring are almost coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 5.75 (7)°. The structure is stabilized by intra-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and C-H⋯S, and inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

The title compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(2)O, was synthesized from 1-naphthol and 1,2-dichloro-benzene with anhydrous aluminium chloride as a cataylst. In the mol-ecule, the two ring systems are approximately perpendicular to one other with a dihedral angle of 82.06 (4)°. There are two CH-type hydrogen bonds.

The applicability of non-protected room temperature phosphorescence (NP-RTP) in real samples was demonstrated in the present work. In this methodology, only two reagents, potassium iodide and sodium sulfite, were used to obtain phosphorescent signals. Overlapping of the phosphorescence spectra was resolved by using first-derivative synchronous phosphorimetry. The synchronous first-derivative sp...

In this study, we investigated the chemical functionalization of carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT–COOH) by 1-Amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (ANSA). The functionalized MWCNTs exhibited good aqueous solubility due to the presence of the –OH and – SO3H groups of ANSA. The antimicrobial activity of the MWCNT–COOH as well as its functionalized multiwall nanotube MWCNT-CO-2-(1-amino...
