The present study explores the solar-induced photocatalytic degradation of reactive red (RR) and turquoise (RT) dyes in a single system using TiO2 immobilized xanthan gum (TiO2/XG), synthesized sol–gel dip-coating technique for direct precipitation. SEM-EDX, XRD, FTIR, UV–Vis were used to assess characteristics resulting catalyst. Moreover, effects different operating parameters, specifically p...

Thin organic films are widely used in sensors, solar cells, and optical devices due to their intense absorption the visible/near-infrared (IR) region. Shifting, quenching, or reshaping of some spectral features can be achieved by chemical functionalization molecules, whereas an anisotropic fingerprint preferential molecular alignment induced via a proper design and/or preparation substrate. Rec...

In the Neolithic Gavà mines, variscite and turquoise were exploited for ornaments manufacturing, although some prospective pits tunnels dug on other similar greenish minerals such as smectite or kandite. A 3D study of distribution mineral phases allows us to determine parameters involved in colours. Methods are comprised quantitative colourimetry, thin section petrography, SEM-BSE-EDS, EMPA, XR...

In the context of energy conservation and reduction CO2 emissions, inconsistencies between inevitable emission in traditional hydrogen production methods eco-friendly targets have become more apparent over time. The catalytic decomposition methane (CDM) is a novel technology capable producing without releasing CO2. Since produced via CDM neither blue nor green, term “turquoise” selected to desc...

The pollution due to dyes from textile sector is one of the major issues faced worldwide. This study was focused on removal reactive dye, Drimaren Turquoise CL-B using Schizophyllum commune, a white rot fungus (WRF) keeping in mind current environmental conditions. Different parameters like pH, sources carbon & nitrogen, temperature, concentration dye and C/N ratio were used investigate the...
