Dye photodegradation using ozone and Nickel ferrite nanoparticle (NFN) as a photocatalyst was studied. The catalyst was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, SEM and XRD. Textile dyes including Remazol Red RB (RRRB) and Direct Green B (DGB) were degraded as model compounds. Dye degradation was investigated using UV–Vis and ion chromatography (IC) analyses. The effect of catalyst dosage, pH, s...

Acetylene-black paste without a light scattering layer was applied to meso-porous TiO2 photo-electrode films with a crystalline framework, a low residual carbon, and a tunable morphological pore size. The thermal-treated TiO2 photo-electrode films had an increased acetylene-black concentration with an increase in artificial pores and a decrease in residual carbon. The performance of dye-sensiti...

Ultrafine particles have been shown to induce pro-inflammatory effects both in vivo and in vitro. Increased expression of pro-inflammatory genes probably requires the activation of specific transcription factors such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) via a number of possible pathways including Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species. The fluorescent dye fura 2, was used to measure cytosolic Ca2+ i...

An isolated fungus, Aspergillus foetidus had the ability to decolourize growth unsupportive medium containing 100 mg L(-1) of reactive black 5 (RB5) dye with >99% efficiency at acidic pH (2-3). Pre-treatment of fungal biomass by autoclaving or exposure to 0.1M sodium hydroxide facilitated more efficient uptake of dye as compared to untreated fungal biomass. Pre-equilibrium biosorption of RB5 dy...

The degradation of an azo dye, Acid Black 1 (AB 1) with ZnO as photocatalyst using natural solar light in aqueous solution has been investigated under different conditions. The degradation is more with solar/ZnO process than with solar/TiO2-P25 process at pH 9. The influence of operational parameters such as the amount of photocatalyst, dye concentration and initial pH on photodegradation by Zn...

BERNSTEIN, M. E. H. M. HOWARD. and G. C. CARROLL. 1973. Fluorescence microscopy of Douglas fir foliage epifloia. Can. J. Microbiol. 19: 1129-1130. Douglas fir needles stained with the fluorescent dye, primulin, were observed microscopically using epiillumination with a mercury arc light source. Microorganisms fell into three categories: algae, which exhibited primary fluorescence; actinomycetes...

context since the introduction of highly active anti-retroviral regimen for human immunodeficiency virus-1 infection, a significant increase in the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma has been reported in patients already chronically infected with hepatitis b virus and then given this form of regimen for their retroviral infection. evidence acquisition this phenomenon was initially attributed...

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 ...

Casein is a family of milk proteins that exists in several molecular forms and is the main protein present inthe bovine milk. The B variant of bovine k-casein is reported to be favorable for quality and quantity of cheese derived from milk and considered to be included in breeding strategies of dairy cattle. Genotypes of72 Russian Black Pied and 80 Red Pied cows were determined for ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Discharge of industrial wastewater to the environment has harmful effects. Textile industry is one of the industries that burdens pollutants to the environment. So the wastewater of these industries must be treated before discharging into the environment. Various methods for removing industrial pollutants have been investigated. Among them, AOPs have attracted mu...
