water plays a vital and essential role in our ecosystem. this natural resource is becoming scarce, making its availability a major social and economic concern. use of a large variety of synthetic dyes in textile industries has raised an hazardous environmental alert. about 17 - 20% of freshwater pollution is caused by textile effluents. these effluents are recalcitrant to biodegradation and cau...

zno and tio2 nanoparticles wereimpregnated with merbromin dye and used as modified photocatalysts for degradation of phenol. dye-modified zno and tio2 showed significantly higher photocatalytic activity than neat zno and tio2 under visible light illumination. moreover, the prepared dye-modified zno showed superior photocatalytic efficiency in degradation of phenol compared to the dye-modified t...

introduction: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. proffered treatment for these lesions is surgery. based on patient’s age, drug allergies, and place of lesions, surgery may not be the best option, and alternative treatments should be considered. pulsed dye laser (pdl) may be a good alternative therapy. the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiven...

up to now, lots of materials such as active carbon, iron, manganese, zirconium, and metal oxides have been widely used for removal of dyes from contaminated water. among these, ferrite nanoparticle is an interesting magnetic material due to its moderate saturation magnetization, excellent chemical stability and mechanical hardness. graphene, a new class of 2d carbonaceous material with atom thi...

abstract background and purpose:the main objectives of this research were to evaluating the application of electrocoagulation process for 198 dye from the aqueous phase and determining the optimum operating conditions to the dye removal using aluminum and iron electrodes. materials and methods:the present study was conducted in bench-scale. the spectrophotometer dr 5000 was used to determine th...

low-cost grapefruit peel (agricultural waste) was used for removal of reactive blue19 dye fromaqueous solutions. the process was studied as a function of contact time, initial dye concentration andph. adsorption process was attained to the equilibrium within 45 min for initial dye concentrations of 50,75, and 100 mg l-1. an acidic medium was the optimum condition for adsorption of dye at roomte...
