This study effectively demonstrates the sonochemical synthesis of visible-light-responsive Cu-ZnO/TiO2 ternary Z-scheme heterojunction nanocomposite photocatalyst. The as-prepared photocatalyst was comprehensively characterized by techniques including high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field emission scanning (FE-SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and elemen...

High edge energy storage with large life-span stable materials have become the most significant and major requirement in near future. Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanoparticles (NPs) was effectively synthesized by utilizing bismuth diethyldithiocarbamate (Bi[DTC]3) complex as single-source antecedent. The Bi2S3 NPs were affirmed structural, morphological thermal analysis various analytical studies. ...

We have come to divide bacteria and viruses into filterable and nonfilterable, and we have come to think that those organisms, visible or invisible, which are smaller than the pores of our filter are filterable. That size, however, cannot be the sole criterion we have known from the behavior of certain aniline dyes.* Thus Victoria blue, a basic dye, will not pass a Berkefeld filter while Congo ...

Hepatic involvement in amyloidosis is common but obstructive jaundice is a very rare complication. Occasional patients with AL amyloidosis develop obstructive jaundice as a consequence of severe intrahepatic cholestasis, but review of the English literature reveals only 23 such cases. We report a further case of obstructive jaundice due to amyloidosis in which the diagnosis was particularly dif...

Received: Revised: Accepted: 2014–02–18 2014–03–02 2014–03–02 The objective of the study was to characterize Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolated from human and animal clinical cases for their biofilm formation ability by genotypic and phenotypic methods. A total of 130 S. aureus strains isolated from human wound (n = 20), animal wound (n = 70) and animal mastitis (n = 40) cases were subj...

The present work has been carried out to study the mechanism of electrochemical degradation of Congo red dye. Electrolysis has been carried out in a single-chamber electrochemical cell having graphite anode and platinum cathode in the presence of KCl as supporting electrolyte under amperostatic conditions. The potential across the electrodes has been adjusted so that a constant 30 mA current pa...

Congo red, which has a complex molecular structure with various diazo aromatic groups, is widely used in textile industry as an anionic dye. The purpose of this study was to investigate the degradation of Congo red in laboratory solution which had the chemical properties of the rinse waters of textile manufacturing dye-houses and the samples with Congo red alone wastewater by ozonation and to o...

Cellulase is the key enzyme in the bio refinery process of producing green chemicals. As cellulase production cost is the major factor in these processes, there is lot of need to isolate the effective producers of cellulase from the natural environment which can degrade the abundantly available lignocellulose materials. Congo red clearing zone assay, gel diffusion assay and dyed congo red filte...

Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and non destructive method of dye removal from water and soil. In this research study, phytoremediation potential of a macroalgae Chara vulgaris was investigated as a viable biomaterial for biological treatment of congo red in aqueous solution. The effects of parameters such as reaction time, pH, initial dye concentration, temperature and amount of algae on b...

To obtain basic information on the detection of cellulolytic activity in Auricularia auricula-judae, the influences of dye reagent, pH, and temperature were assessed. Chromogenic dye (congo red, phenol red, remazol brilliant blue, and trypan blue) was individually incorporated into a medium containing either carboxymethyl-cellulose, Avicel, or D-cellobiose as a polysaccharide carbon substrate. ...
