Textile industries discharge a large quantity of colored wastewater which is harmful to the ecosystem. In this study, two kinds of dyes were investigated: the mono azo Acid Orange 7 (AO7) and diazo Reactive Green 19 (RG19). The photocatalytic degradation of single (AO7, RG19) azo dye and binary (AO7 and RG19 mixture) azo dye aqueous solutions was photocatalyzed by commercial titanium dioxide (T...

The release of untreated dye textile wastewater into receiving streams is unacceptable not only for aesthetic reasons and its negative impacts on aquatic life but also because numerous dyes are toxic and carcinogenic to humans. Strategies, as of now, used for treating textile wastewaters have technical and economical restrictions. The greater part of the physico-chemical methods, which are used...

The purpose of this study was to provide valuable insight regarding the use of Rhodamine WT (red) dye as a tracer for evaluating injected concentrations. More specifically, the effects of mixing the dye with glycerin to simulate the viscosity of a pesticide (e.g., glyphosate) or injecting the dye/glycerin mixture into deionized (DI) versus tap water on developing appropriate calibration equatio...

Removal of chromium complex dye from aqueous solutions by sorption onto a weakly basic, acrylic matrix anion exchanger Purolite A845 and a strongly basic, polystyrene matrix anion exchanger Purolite A 500P has been investigated under various experimental conditions: the initial dye concentration, pH and temperature. The sorption of chromium complex dye proceeds as a result of miscellaneous inte...

An isolated fungus, Aspergillus foetidus had the ability to decolourize growth unsupportive medium containing 100 mg L(-1) of reactive black 5 (RB5) dye with >99% efficiency at acidic pH (2-3). Pre-treatment of fungal biomass by autoclaving or exposure to 0.1M sodium hydroxide facilitated more efficient uptake of dye as compared to untreated fungal biomass. Pre-equilibrium biosorption of RB5 dy...

background and aims. different materials have been used for root-end filling during surgical endodontic treatment. the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the dye penetration in different thicknesses of calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement as root-end filling material. materials and methods. following root canal filling in 70 extracted human single-rooted premolar teeth, the apical 3 mm...

The relationships between molecular structures and properties of anthraquinone dichroic dyes were studied and dyes with large solubilities and dichroic ratios were developed. The yellow anthraquinone dye behaves as a quencher of the coumarin dye, and the mixture has a large absorption coefficient without fluorescence. These technologies can enlarge the color reproduction area of three-layer gue...

Five commercial preparative layer chromatography (PLC) plates precoated with silica gel layers 1 mm thick were compared on the basis of theoretical plate number (N) and resolution (R) by developing a test dye mixture with the same mobile phase over a constant distance with dye loadings of 1.0–5.0 μg per zone. It was found that the best performance, on the basis of N and R data, was obtained fro...

The interaction of anionic dye Acid Green 25 (AG) with cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) was studied by spectrophotometric method in 25oC and conductometric method in 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45oC. The specific conductance of dye – surfactant mixtures was measured. A decrease in measured specific conductance values of dyesurfactant mixture was caused by the formation of nonconducting...
