A new preparation method of polymer dyes was developed to improve both the grafting degree of the azo dyes onto O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OMCS) and the water solubility of prepared polymer dyes. Firstly, the coupling compound of two azo edible colorants, sunset yellow (SY) and allura red (AR), was grafted onto OMCS, and then coupled with their diazonium salt. The chemical structure of prepared ...

background: synthetic dyes have several harmful effects on human health as well as aquatic life. in this study, activated carbon (av-ac), based on aloe vera leaf shells, was used as a novel agricultural adsorbent, one that is low-cost and available for the removal of congo red (cr) as a carcinogenic dye from aqueous solutions. methods: in the batch system, the influence of different parameters ...

a simple and mild method for tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols is reported at room temperature using a catalytic amount of 3-methylimidazolinium hydrogensulfate([hmim]hso4) as a green, efficient and reusable catalyst. using solvent-free conditions, non-toxic and inexpensive materials, modest and clean work-up, short reaction times and high yields of the products are the advantages of this method.

Caterpillars of Manduca sexta use two distinct transport mechanisms for the excretion of dyes. One pump (Type A) has a high affinity for acid (anionic) dyes and occurs in the midgut and medial Malpighian tubules. Acid dyes accumulate rapidly in the lumen of the midgut while the Malpighian tubules appear to play only a minor role in the excretion of these dyes. The other pump (Type B) excretes b...

DiO and DiD are lipophilic cell labelling dyes used in the staining of cells in vivo and in vitro. The aim of the present study was to quantify the asymmetrical distribution of dyes in co‑cultured cells and to measure the intercellular transfer of DiO and DiD. DiO and DiD were applied separately to stain two identical populations of SW‑1353 human chondrosarcoma cells that were subsequently co‑c...

The adsorption of the fluorescent dye, Oxazine 1 (OX) was studied on graphene oxide (GO), in range low (⩽10−7 M) OX concentrations, exploiting high sensitivity fluorescence spectroscopy. Dry GO characterized using XRD, TEM, XPS, Raman and IR spectroscopy, while its chemistry aqueous suspension examined with potentiometric titration. Adsorption isotherms were measured at pH 6.4 10.2 temperatures...

The presence of dyes in wastewater effluent of textile industry is well documented. In contrast, the endocrine disrupting effects of these dyes and wastewater effluent have been poorly investigated. Herein, we studied twenty-three commercial dyes, usually used in the textile industry, and extracts of blue jean textile wastewater samples were evaluated for their agonistic and antagonistic estrog...

In this study, the separation parameters in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)-laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) were optimized for the separation of red and yellow historical dyes in 20 mM borate buffer with 20 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Separation conditions were optimized by changing pH, organic modifier (methanol and acetonitrile) concentrations and applied voltage. The mixt...

Fluorescent dyes are increasingly being exploited to track lymphocyte migration and proliferation. The present paper reviews the properties and performance of some 14 different fluorescent dyes that have been used during the last 20 years to monitor lymphocyte migration. Of the 14 dyes discussed, two stand out as being the most versatile in terms of long-term tracking of lymphocytes and their a...

background and purpose:the presence of dyes in wastewaters may cause serious problems for the environment because of their high toxicity to aquatic organisms and unfavorable aesthetical impact. in the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) were used for removal of anionic dyes direct blue 106 (db106) and acid green 25 (ag25), from water samples. materials and methods:mwcnts were ...
