The use of Azolla filiculoides (AF) for the removal of Acid Red 88 dye (AR88) from aqueous solutions at different contact times, temperatures, pH, adsorbent doses and initial dye concentration was investigated. The extent of dye removal decreased with increasing adsorbent dosage and AR88 concentration, also increased with increasing contact time and temperature. The adsorption isotherms are des...

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C) food dyes make industrial goods like foods beverages more appealing. These are synthetic typically used instead of natural due to their color, stability, low cost. Research has implied that children sensitive the amount dye in products. The products is proprietary information, so it can be challenging determine how much ingesting. In this study, u...

Dye displacement assays are a simple but effective method to determine the concentration of target analytes. Previously, we have shown that phenylboronic acid pinacol ester hydrogels (borogels) can be used to develop a boronic acid-Alizarin red S dye displacement assay for the determination of fructose (orange to red). In this work, benzoxaborole hydrogels (BOBgels) were developed, and these BO...

The interaction of the dye reactive bright red 6C with bovine serum albumin has been investigated. Formation of a complex between reactive bright red 6C and bovine serum albumin was detected by use of absorption difference spectroscopy. The curves obtained by titration of the protein against the dye were recorded at different pH and ionic strength of the solution. An unusual form of titration c...

In this study, SBA-15-PAMAM mesoporous Nano-adsorbent was synthesized, characterized and applied for adsorption of Acid dyes (Acid Blue 62 (AB62) and Acid Red 266 (AR266)) from aqueous Medias. Adsorption of AB62 and AR266 on SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silica, polyamidoamine functionalized SBA-15(SBA-15-PAMAM), has been investigated. In order to assess the synthesized adsorbent constructional, FT...

A readily accessible (less than four synthetic steps) dye molecule with potential properties well-beyond the current state-of-the-art for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) is realized from extensive quantum chemical...

Two ternary complexes (Ce(sal)3(phen)2) (1) and (Bi(sal)3(phen)2) (2) with salicylic acid (sal) 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) have been synthesized characterized by analytical techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy, FT-IR PXRD, SEM. The study indicated the shifting of peak positions metal compared individual ligands whereas analysis demonstrated that metals were successfully coordinated differ...

We report that the dye nile red, 9-diethylamino-5H-benzo[alpha]phenoxazine-5-one, is an excellent vital stain for the detection of intracellular lipid droplets by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorometry. The specificity of the dye for lipid droplets was assessed on cultured aortic smooth muscle cells and on cultured peritoneal macrophages that were incubated with acetylated low density...
