background fenton (fe2+ and h2o2) and modified fenton (fe3+ and h2o2) are two popular methods used in advanced oxidation processes (aop) and degradation of persistent organic pollutants (pops), such as dye compounds. in these processes, fe2+ and fe3+ as catalysts and h2o2 as the oxidizing agent are added to the reactor. objectives the aim of the current study is to assess the abovementioned met...

the aim of this study was to investigate the congo red sorption on soil from the region of iasi (ne of romania). the effects of contact time, temperature, sorbent dose and initial dye concentration on soi sorption were investigated. the results show that the amount adsorbed of congo red on soil increase with increasing dye concentration, temperature and contact time. the experimental data were ...

Biosorption of acidic dyes using the live fern Azolla filliculoides was studied in a discontinuous system. Dye parameters, dye initial concentration and contact time were studied in temperature range of 25-30 ?C and pH=7. It was shown that increasing the 23initial concentration of dye and its contact time resulted in decreasing the dye taking quantity by the absorbent. Also, type of dye has an ...

In this research, the removal of Reactive Red 198 dye (RR-198) by Cuttlefish bone powder was investigated. The adsorbent was prepared in laboratory conditions and ground by ASTM standard sieves (60-100 mesh). The progress of the process is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of dye at 518 nm wavelength. In addition, the effects of process parameter...

Photosystem II, Watersplitting, Model of H+-Production Using pH indicator dye techniques we have investigated the pH changes in dark-adapted chloro­ plasts following excitation by short flashes. Two types of pH indicator, cresol red and neutral red, were used, to follow the pH changes either inside or outside the thylakoids, or the net change when the membrane was made permeable to protons by u...

Two flavones, apigenin and tangeretin, were studied for their ability to modulate gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in the rat liver epithelial cell line REL. Their cytotoxicity was first determined by cell density and neutral red uptake assays: neither apigenin nor tangeretin are cytotoxic at 10 and 25 microM, the concentrations used in our experiments. We then studied GJIC usi...

A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of nitrogen dioxide in air and nitrite in water, soil, some analytical grade chemicals and tooth paste has been developed. Nitrogen dioxide in air is fixed as nitrite ion in alkaline sodium arsenite or triethanolamine absorber solution. The method is based on the reaction of nitrite in aqueous medium with known excess of Neu...

The phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) has been used as an adsorbent for the removal of dyes (Methylene blue and Congo red dye) from synthetic aqueous solution. Different factors of the adsorbent, like, contact time, pH of the sorption medium, concentration of the dye solution, were investigated by the batch sorption experiment. The adsorption equilibrium data was best fitted by the Langmuir isotherm m...

Fluorometric imaging plate reader membrane potential dye (FMP-Red-Dye) is a proprietary tool for basic discovery and high-throughput drug screening for G-protein-coupled receptors and ion channels. We optimized and validated this potentiometric probe to assay functional modulators of heterologous expressed GABAA receptor (GABAAR) isoforms (synaptic α1β3γ2, extrasynaptic α4β3δ, and β3 homopentom...

Highly stable and homogeneously dispersed amino acid coated silver nanoparticles (ANP) of ≈ 10 nm diameter, ranging from 420 to 430 nm are prepared on AgNO3 solution addition to gum of Azadirachta indica solution at 373.15 K. The amino acids were selected based on their polarity. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis, FTIR spectroscopy, HR-TEM, XRD, SEM and 1H-NMR. The coat...
