This study investigated the effect of temperature, different concentrations of sodium carbonate,and the dose of organic solvent on the desorption of Reactive Red 198 dye from dye-saturated activated carbon using batch and continuous systems. The results of the batch desorption test showed 60% acetone in water as the optimum amount. However, when the concentration of sodium carbonate was raised,...

I want to thank the AIJ and the three reviewers Jerome Feldman, John Taylor, and Don Perlis for reviewing my book, “On Intelligence”. Perlis’ review speaks of “fascination and frustration” with my book. He finds it fascinating because I “hint at a potentially unifying view” of intelligence and he finds it frustrating because the book is “sketchy” and he finds many of my claims about AI “questio...

In this study, based on colony morphology characteristics, a total of 19 fungal endophytes were isolated from root of Calotropis Procera a traditional Indian medicinal plant. All fungal isolates were screened for their dye degradation ability. The dyes used as test dyes were Rose Bengal (RB), azo dye Methyl Red (MR), Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and Methylene Blue (MB) and the concentration o...

The dye for the excretory function test of the liver has been investi gated by many authors, and methylenblue (MB), indigocarmine (IC), congo red (CR), phenoltetrachlorphthalein (PTCP), azorubin S (AS), rose bengal (RS) and bromsulphalein (BS) had been used as the dye for the test. Moreover, we1) added recently bromphenolblue (BPB) to these as a new dye. In this paper, I examined experimentally...

A novel chitosan-based biopolymer dye possessing antibacterial properties was synthesized by reaction of O-carboxymethyl chitosan and Acid Red GR. The synthesized materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), degree of substitution (DS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), water solubility test, anti...

Within an EU-funded research project, 281 textile dye products in use at nine textile finishing companies from eight European countries were assessed for potential mutagenic properties. Most of the dyes belonged to the so-called existing substances. Data sources considered were data published in the literature, unpublished industrial data provided by dye producing companies, and laboratory test...
