Background and purpose: Dyes are one of the main pollutants in the various industrial wastewaters. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the biosorption of acid red 18 dyes from aqueous solutions by brown macroalgae biomass “Sargassum glaucescens.” Materials and Methods: This research was a lab study. S. glaucescens was used as an adsorbent to remove acid red 18. The effect...

Our objective was to study the properties of the carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFDA-SE) and the methodology of cell labeling using CFDA-SE fluorescent dye. First, we analyzed the kinetics of CFDA-SE fluorescent dye intensity over time. Second, we determined the optimal concentration of CFDA-SE fluorescent dye for cell labeling. Third, we tested the toxicity of CFDA-SE fluores...

synthetic dyes are among the most common contaminants of the environment. therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of basic blue 41 (bb41) and methylene blue (mb) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. in this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with citric acid (ca) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for remo...

ONE of the main problems in the use of continuously recorded dye dilution curves has been the calibration of the obtained curves. Methods involving measurements from the "tail" of the dilution curve are often inaccurate because in this portion of the curve the concentration of dye is low. Other methods of calibration involve determinations from a sample of blood withdrawn before or after the di...

The role of the saturable absorber dye DDI in the cw passively mode-locked Ti:sapphire/DDI laser both with and without compensation prisms is investigated. This laser self-starts when the concentration of the dye is greater than -2 x 10M for both picosecond and femtosecond pulses. With the prism pair, the laser generates Gaussian pulses 150 fs in duration. The corresponding spectrum is sech in ...

In this paper, the effect of NaCl and Na2SO4 on the biodecolourization of reactive brilliant red K-2BP by a Halomonas sp. GYW (EF188281) was investigated in details. The decolourisation efficiency and the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) change were explored during the decolourization process. The results from sequencing batch tests showed that Na2SO4 influenced the decolourization efficienc...

Eight physicochemical factors which affect the uptake of lissamine green on filter paper impregnated with serum proteins have been examined, and their relevance to the staining of electrophoretically separated protein fractions is discussed. It is shown that grade of paper, weight of protein applied, separate and combined denaturation and staining time, temperature and concentration of staining...
