To verify whether dyes emitted within the discharge of a dye processing plant were contributing to the mutagenicity repeatedly found in the Cristais River, Sao Paulo, Brazil, we chemically characterized the following mutagenic samples: the treated industrial effluent, raw and treated water, and the sludge produced by a Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) located approximately 6 km from the in...

Crystals of C.I. Disperse Blue 354, a commercial methine disperse dye, were grown from an ethyl acetate and the crystal structure was determined. Results show that two aromatic planes are effectively coplanar with the dihedral angle of 10.61(11) degrees. The dicyanomethylene group is slightly twisted and two n-hexyl groups tend to be separated with one alkyl group being at the level of the arom...

In this study, the influence of dyeing on the antibacterial efficiency of polyamide and polyester fabrics loaded with colloidal Ag nanoparticles and the influence of the presence of Ag nanoparticles on the color change of dyed fabrics were investigated. Dyes C.I. acid green 25 and C.I. disperse blue 3 were used for dyeing of polyamide fabrics, while dye C.I. disperse violet 8 was used for dyein...

As ferroporfirinas comerciais cloreto de 5,10,15,20-tetraquis-(4-carboxifenil) porfirinaferro(III), cloreto de 5,10,15,20-tetraquis-(N-metil-4-piridil)porfirinaferro(III) e cloreto de 5,10,15,20-tetraquis-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorofenil)porfirinaferro(III) foram investigadas como modelo do citocromo P450 na oxidação dos azo corantes Disperse Black 3 (DB3), Disperse Orange 3 (DO3) e Methyl Yellow (M...

A series of monoazo disperse dyes based on naphthalimide was synthesized using N-alkylcarboxylic acid-1,8-naphthalimide as diazo component and N,N-diethylaniline derivatives as a coupling components. 4-amino-N-ethanoic (propanoic) acid-1,8-naphthalimide was synthesized from 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride by imidation and subsequent reduction reactions. These compounds were diazotized and furt...

In this study, the oxidation of dye from colored wastewater by H2O2/ MWCNT’s multi walls carbon nano tubes solution assisted with UV radiation was investigated. Disperse Blue 56 DB 56 was used as a model dye. Adsorption behavior of DB56 from aqueous solution onto MWCNT’s was investigated under various conditions such as initial pH value, dye concentration, H2O2 and MWCNT’s dosage. Maximum adsor...
