Dye concentration of waste water can lead to a variety of problem. Biosorption has been proved to be a well established and cheap pollutant removal process among other purification techniques in this study our aim is to find the optimization of methylene blue by the spent biomass of Aspergillus terreus using response surface methodology. The spent biomass was received as a free sample from Kreb...

1. Hydrated electrons produced by pulse radiolysis were used to study the interaction of polyanionic glycosaminoglycans and related compounds with the counterions Methylene Blue and cetylpyridinium chloride. 2. The effect of added salt (potassium chloride) on the interaction indicates that the relative binding affinities, with respect to the types of anionic site present, increases for both cou...

PURPOSE To evaluate in vivo sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping by using photoacoustic and ultrasonographic (US) imaging with a modified clinical US imaging system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Animal protocols were approved by the Animal Studies Committee. Methylene blue dye accumulation in axillary lymph nodes of seven healthy Sprague-Dawley rats was imaged by using a photoacoustic imaging system ad...

Two vegetable wastes, cork bark and grape stalks, were investigated for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution. The effects of contact time, dye concentration, pH, and temperature on sorption were studied relative to adsorption on a commercially-activated carbon. The highest adsorption yield was obtained within the pH range 5 to 10 for grape stalks and 7 to 10 for cork bark. The so...

PURPOSE To present the Löffler's alkaline methylene blue technique of staining eye discharges in eyes with anterior segment infections. METHOD The Löffler's alkaline methylene blue staining method is a simple staining technique that can be used to differentiate bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. It is a cationic dye that stains cells blue because the positively charged dye is attracted ...

Background & objectives: The release of dyestuff wastewaters produced in textile industry into receiving waters affects both human health and the environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of a photocatalytic UV/persulfate process in removal of methylene blue and acid green 3 dyes from aqueous solutions. Methods: The current study was an experimental study, in which t...

in this paper, the photochemical degradation of azure-b by cu2+/s2o82− process has beenpresented. cu2+ as photocatalyst and s2o82− ion as photooxidant used in this process. atextremely low concentrations, cupric ion showed true catalytic activity in the overall process.the influence of various parameters on the performance of the treatment process has beenconsidered, such as ph, concentration o...

An efficient photocatalytic material TiO2/Pt was prepared via the sonochemical synthesis followed by the thermal treatment. The TiO2/Pt nanocomposite was able to photocatalytically degrade the azo dye methylene blue (MB) under UV (ultraviolet) and Vis (visible) irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Pt/TiO2 for methylene blue degradation is attributed to the following factors; to ...

Methylene blue added to suspensions of activated staphylococci in amounts sufficient to furnish 1 x 10(5) molecules of dye/bacterium inactivates the phage precursor content of the cells without causing cell death when the mixtures are exposed to strong light of 4000-8000 A. There is a lag phase of approximately 15 minutes in the photodynamic inactivation of phage precursor by methylene blue. Th...

The existing rapid method for the determination of anionic surfactants in aqueous solutions relies on the association of the cationic methylene blue dye with the anionic surfactant to form an electroneutral complex that is subsequently extracted into chloroform and determined spectrophotometrically. This methylene blue active substance (MBAS) assay suffers from salt interference in estuarine an...
