In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were loaded on activated carbon prepared from almond shell (ZnO-NP-AC). Then, this novel material applied as an efficient adsorbent for the ultrasonic assisted simultaneous removal of Basic Blue 41(BB41) and Basic Red 46 (BR46) in binary solution.  The efficiency of proposed activated carbon was enhanced by acid treatment and subsequent modification by physical ...

Research in the miniaturization of planar chromatography led to various approaches in manufacturing ultrathin-layer chromatography (UTLC) layers of reduced thickness (<50 µm) along with smaller instrumentation, as targeted in Office Chromatography. This novel concept merges 3D print &amp; media technologies with miniaturized planar chromatography to realize an all-in-one instrument, in which al...

Fluorescent organic dyes photobleach under intense light. Graphene has been shown to improve the photo-stability of organic dyes. In this paper, we investigated the Raman spectroscopy and photo-bleaching kinetics of dyes in the absence/presence of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene. We show that graphene enhances the Raman signal of a wide range of dyes. The photo-bleaching of the d...

this study demonstrates the spectral data for two triarylmethane dyes, malachite green (mg) and crystal violet (cv) at room temperature. effects of micellar environment, and crown ether addition on the spectral behaviour of the dyes were studied using absorption spectroscopic method. the dye-anionic surfactant interactions in micellar media were investigated. the chosen surfactants with differe...

Fluorescent particles have broad applications in tagging, tracing, and labeling. Fluorescence is typically generated through incorporation of either inorganic or organic fluorescent dyes into the particle s material. While inorganic dyes are typically more stable, their number and compatibility is rather restricted. The large variety of organic dyes makes them attractive for creating fluorescen...

In this research, several series of triarylmethane dyes containing one or more terminal methoxy substituents with a variable tertiary amino groups have been used. These dyes have been applied to different substrates by using various methods including transfer printing and then their fastness properties were measured. These dyes shows exceptionally high light fastness (6-7) on acid modified poly...

An agricultural by-product waste: orange peel was tested for the removal of four acid dyes from aqueous solutions in batch conditions. As results obtained, kinetics of dyes sorption was time of contact, initial dyes concentration and dyes type dependent. The pseudo second-order reaction rate model adequately described the kinetics of dyes sorption with high correlation coefficients. Langmuir mo...

In this study, four arylazobenzylidene dyes (a-d) were synthesized with excellent yields in two steps using Knoevenagel condensation and azo-coupling reactions. Absorption spectra of these dyes with different substituents were investigated in organic solvents as a function of solvent polarity. The spectral features of synthesized arylazobenzylidene dyes were described according to azo-hydrazone...

Water resources are of critical importance to both natural ecosystem and human developments. Increasing environmental pollution from industrial wastewater particularly in developing countries is of major concern. Heavy metal contamination exists in aqueous waste streams of many industries, such as metal plating facilities, mining operations, tanneries, etc. Some metals associated with these act...

Amine-reactive N-hydroxysuccinimidyl esters of Alexa Fluor fluorescent dyes with principal absorption maxima at about 555 nm, 633 nm, 647 nm, 660 nm, 680 nm, 700 nm, and 750 nm were conjugated to antibodies and other selected proteins. These conjugates were compared with spectrally similar protein conjugates of the Cy3, Cy5, Cy5.5, Cy7, DY-630, DY-635, DY-680, and Atto 565 dyes. As N-hydroxysuc...
