An anaerobic sludge (AS), capable of decolorizing a variety of synthetic dyes, was acclimated and is reported here. The sludge presented a much better dye decolorizing ability than that of different individual strains. A broad spectrum of dyes could be decolorized by the sludge. Continuous decolorization tests showed that the sludge exhibited the ability to decolorize repeated additions of dye....

Literature survey reveal that a good number of Anthracene and substituted Anthracene are potential lasing organic compounds. As per mit suo meada66 9,10-dimethyl and 9,10-diphenyl Anthracenes exhibit lasing properties, around 435-450 nm (ethanol). In continuation of our studies in this lab, our objective is to synthesize new lasing organic dyes, in particular, new Anthracene derivatives and stu...

A series of disperse dyes, 9,10-anthraquinone containing dithiocarbamate, thiourea and triazole fragments, were prepared via consecutive refunctionalization aminoanthraquinones in our previous studies their structures confirmed by the 1H-, 13C-NMR, IR spectra, LC-MS elemental analysis data. The obtained compounds applied on polyester fabrics exhaustion method at 130?C pH 4.0-5.0, dyeing propert...

Five anthraquinone dyes with bis(4-propylphenyl) substituents, connected via sulfide or amine linking groups at the 1,5-positions or directly at the 2,6-positions, have been studied as guests in the nematic liquid crystal host, E7. Polarized UV-visible absorption spectra of aligned samples were used to obtain experimental dichroic order parameters, which exhibit values in the range 0.51-0.74. F...

Madder (Rubia tinctorum L.) has been used as a dye for over 2000 years with alizarin and purpurin the major natural dyes analysed from extractions undertaken. The use of ethanol as the solvent in the extraction process produced an extract that yielded four anthraquinone compounds lucidin primeveroside, ruberythric acid, alizarin and lucidin-ω-ethyl ether. Gravitational separation of the extract...

Anthraquinone (AQ) derivatives play a prominent role in medicine and also in textile industry. Bromaminic acid (1-amino-4-bromoanthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid) is an important precursor for obtaining dyes as well as biologically active compounds through the replacement of the C4-bromo substituent with different (ar)alkylamino residues. Here we report methods for the synthesis of bromaminic acid a...

Results Materials and Methods Four commercial dyes were used — Remazol® Black BA, Levafix® Blue Ca, Levafix® Yellow CA and Levafix® Red CA (Dystar). A standard anthraquinone dye, Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR, Sigma) was also used. Dye stock solutions were added to solid or liquid decolorization media, up to 200 mg.L-1 final concentration. Rose Bengal Agar and Potato Dextrose Agar (both from D...
