Four selected azo dyes (acid orange 6, acid orange 7, methyl orange and methyl red) were completely decolourised in the presence of anaerobic granular sludge, while only methyl red was degraded in aerobic conditions using a conventional activated sludge. Additional experiments with culture broth devoid of cells showed that anaerobic decolourisation of azo dyes was performed by extracellular red...

1. Basic dyes (methyl green/pyronin, and toluidin blue), in conjunction with ribonuclease, may be used to detect the cytochemical localization of ribonucleic acid. This technique has been examined critically. 2. The fixative used is important and results vary with different materials. It is suggested that Zenker and Serra fixation should be compared in preliminary investigations. Unexplained an...

As part of a continuing research program aimed at plausible approaches to synthetic dyes based on toxicological considerations, a group of premetallized iron complexed monoazo dyes were synthesized as potential alternatives to presently used high volume Crand Cocontaining monoazo acid dyes for nylon and wool. This approach takes advantage of the environmentally friendly property of Fe, and draw...

the synthesis and properties of new monoazo dyes derived from the diazonium salts of paminobenzoic acid, 3-trifluoromethyl aniline , 4-trifluoromethyl aniline are considered .theprepared compounds were characterized by uv-visible , ft-ir and h nmr spectroscopictechniques . the effect of varying solvent upon the absorption ability of p-amino benzoic acidcoupled with 4,4 —diethyl aniline , anilin...

In this paper, industrial dyes, Disperse Red and Disperse Orange, were studied as model pollutants to show the excellent performance of olive pomace (OP) in sequestering and recovering these dangerous dyes from wastewater. The nature of interactions involved between dyes and OP were inferred by changing several parameters: contact time, pomace dosage, pH and temperature values. Visible spectros...

We examined the utility of fluorescent fatty acid analog dyes for labeling larval trematodes to use in experimental infections. Our goals were to identify two dyes that label larval trematodes belonging to the species Maritrema novaezealandensis and Coitocaecum parvum, determine if the dyes influence survival and infectivity of larval trematodes and/or host mortality, and if larval trematodes l...

The effect of acid treatment on the adsorptive capacity a Brazilian palygorskite to remove crystal violet (CV) and congo red (CR) dyes was investigated. raw acid-treated by different HCl solutions (2, 4, 6 mol/L). modifications structure were investigated using X-ray diffraction, fluorescence, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 adsorption/desorption, thermogravimetric differential ther...

Seventeen commonly used dyes and 16 of their metabolites or derivatives were tested in the Salmonella-mammalian microsome mutagenicity test. Mutagens active with and without added Aroclor-induced rat liver microsome preparations (S9) were 3-aminopyrene, lithol red, methylene blue (USP), methyl yellow, neutral red, and phenol red. Those mutagenic only with S9 activation were 4-aminopyrazolone, 2...
