The first-ever use of halloysite nanotube (HNT), a relatively low-cost nanomaterial abundantly available with minor toxicity for removing brilliant green dye from aqueous media, is reported. factors affecting adsorption were studied by assessing the capacity, kinetics, and equilibrium thermodynamic properties. All experiments designed at pH level around 7. Redlich-Peterson isotherm model fits b...

The food dye FD&C Blue No. 1 (Brilliant Blue FCF [BB FCF]) is structurally similar to the purinergic receptor antagonist Brilliant Blue G (BBG), which is a well-known inhibitor of the ionotropic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R). The P2X7R functionally interacts with the membrane channel protein pannexin 1 (Panx1) in inflammasome signaling. Intriguingly, ligands to the P2X7R, regardless of whether they are...

DFT reactivity descriptors, the ultraviolet–visible spectra and hydrolysis mechanism of three cationic dyes [Malachite Green (MG), Brilliant (BG) Ethyl (EG)] are performed with several exchange–correlation functional (global GGA, hybrids range-separated). Using time-dependent density theory, theoretical absorption obtained obey trend for λmax: GGA > hybrid range-separated functional. Thanks to ...

A novel, simple and more sensitive spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for the determination of Brilliant blue FCF and Carmoisine in food samples by an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). After extraction, the absorbance values were measured at 527 and 632 nm for Carmoisine and Brilliant blue FCF, respectively. The effects of different parameters such as, polyethylene glycol (type and ...

With the emergence of an international information policy regime1 over the last few decades, information policy tools have received more attention per se, multiplied in form, and penetrated a growing variety of realms of activity. Their use has been striking in the defense arena, where 85-95% of arms control agreements are now devoted to the compelled information collection, processing, and flo...
