The physicochemical characterization of the textile industry effluent collected from Oswal Textile Industries, Ludhiana (Punjab.) India has been carried out and the results showed that the temperature (40°C), pH (8.00), Biological Oxygen Demand (260 mgl –1 ), Chemical Oxygen Demand (790 mgl –1 ), Total Suspended Solids (2000 mgl –1 ), Total Dissolved Solids (7000 mgl –1 and colour over the pres...

The low cost adsorbents namely Rice Husk Carbon (RHC), Wheat Straw Carbon (WSC) and Saw Dust Carbon (SDC) have been tested for the effectiveness in decolourisation of wastewater containing a mixture of dyes. Three dyes namely crystal violet, direct orange and magenta have been used for imparting colour in the representative samples of wastewater. Effect of various parameters such as agitation t...

Surfactant-dye interactions are very important in chemical and dyeing processes. The dyes interact strongly with surfactant and show new spectrophotometric properties, so the UV-vis absorption spectrophotometric method has been used to study this process and extract some thermodynamic parameters. In this work, the association equilibrium between ionic dyes and ionic surfactant were studied by a...

Light absorption by carotenoids is known to vary substantially with the shape or conformation of the pigment molecule induced by the molecular environment, but the role of interactions between carotenoid pigments and the proteins to which they are bound, and the resulting impact on organismal coloration, remain unclear. Here, we present a spectroscopic investigation of feathers from the brillia...

Detergent-disinfecting agents (dD) are used daily for cleaning reused medical devices. We have devised a simple method to test dD detergent activity (DA) using an E. coli 54127 biofilm prepared in haemolysis glass tubes, which are cleaned with test dD, according to supplier's recommendations. Crystal violet 0.05% is used to colour the residual biofilm after dD (or tap water control) application...

In the search for functional organic biomaterials, leather constituted by collagen fibers was coated with a conducting polymer, polypyrrole. The coating carried out during oxidation of pyrrole in an aqueous solution poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) presence five dyes: crystal violet, neutral red, methyl orange, acriflavine, and methylene blue. This technique ensures uniform polypyrrole incorporation dy...

Biofluorescence In article number 2200161, Sharon Xiaodai Lim, Chorng-Haur Sow, and co-workers present transformation of human hair waste into beautiful, sustainable light emitters under ultra-violet excitation through controlled annealing. Site-selective laser annealing produces micro-steganography on while large-scale hotplate changes these seemingly clusters colour-changing methylene blue de...

We present an ultra-violet study of two nearby dwarf irregular galaxies WLM and IC 2574, using the Far-UV Near-UV data from Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT). used F148W band images identified 180 782 young star-forming clumps in respectively. The have sizes between 7–30 pc 26–150 2574. noticed more prominent hierarchical splitting structure regions at different flux levels 2574 than WLM. f...

A new water-soluble pyrene-containing fluorescent polymer, 1-{31-S-[poly(acryloyl ethylene diamine hydrochloride)-21-methyl propionic acid]}propionyloxy hexyloxy pyrene (P3) with defined structure, was designed and synthesized using the click reaction between thiol and a carbon-carbon double bond. The intermediate products P1 (S-1-dodecyl-S1-[poly(N-Boc-acryloyl ethylene diamine)-21-methyl prop...
