The antioxidant properties of Galium verum L. (Lady’s Bedstraw) and Tragopogon pratensis subsp. pratensis (Goat’s beard) methanol extracts, from localities in Serbia were evaluated, through determination of total phenolics and flavonoids content, as well as DPPH • (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, ABTS •+ (2,2-azinobis-(3ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation deco...

The study was investigated the decolorization potentials of certan selected microbial species (bacterial) to an actual textile dyeing industry effluent. All the microbes tested namely (bacterial) Bacillus sp, pseudomonas sp, Acineto bacter, Legionella and Staphylococcus (bacterial) showed greater potential in decolorizing the dye effluent. Bacterial decolorization of textile effluents were crit...

Alginate-gelatin mixed gel was applied to immobilized laccase for decolorization of some synthetic dyes including crystal violet. The immobilization procedure was accomplished by adding alginate to a gelatin solution containing the enzyme and the subsequent dropwise addition of the mixture into a stirred CaCl(2) solution. The obtained data showed that both immobilized and free enzymes acted opt...

the use of colored semiconductor oxide like copper (ii) oxide and nickel (ii) oxide for photocatalytic bleaching of rose bengal was investigated in detail. in order to harness the solar energy, the effective wavelength of the photocatalyst is to be expanded into the visible region and that increases the rate of photocatalytic bleaching of the dye. progress of the reaction was observed spectroph...

A white-rot fungus, strain SQ01, was isolated from decayed wood in a temperate forest. The strain was identified as a member of genus Trametes, based on the morphological characteristics and a complete sequence analysis of its 18S rRNA gene and ITS region. Strain SQ01 was capable of decolorizing a variety of synthetic dyes, including azo, triphenylmethane, and anthraquinone dyes, with an optima...

Metal oxide photocatalyst is a promising wastewater treatment process due to its simplicity, high efficiency, and low cost, as well being environmentally friendly non-energy consuming. The perovskite structure material, SrTi1?xNbxO3 (STNO) with x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, was successfully synthesized by the sol-gel auto-combustion method. Samples pure phase cubic were obtained. Rietveld refinement...
