A grouping of 138 strains of hemolytic streptococci based on differences in dye-sensitiveness and in final hydrogen-ion concentration of cultures is presented. Three groups are distinguished; (1) human parasitic strains, defined by a final pH range of 5.2 to 5.0 and by failure to reduce methylene blue (1:5000) in milk, (2) bovine strains parasitic in the udder, characterized by a final pH range...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has emerged as an accurate, less invasive alternative to axillary lymph node dissection, and it has rapidly become the standard of care for patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer. The sentinel lymph node (SLN) hypothesis states that the pathological status of the axilla can be accurately predicted by determining the status of the first (i.e., sent...

The adsorption behaviors of treated animal bone (TAB) with methylene blue dye (MBD) were studied. The aim of this study is to remove MBD from wastewater. A synthetic solution of 25 mg/L of the dye was used. The adsorption process was affected by contact time, doses of adsorbent, concentration of dye and temperature. It was carried out at constant pH (7.1). The optimum contact time was 90 min an...

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...

Intercalation products based on ionic exchange reaction between cationic dye methylene blue and Na-montmorillonite were prepared. Montmorillonite particles intercalated with methylene blue were characterized using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, elemental and thermo-gravimetric analysis. The results showed that intercalation of dye molecules within the interlayer spaces of montmorillo...

Metal oxides play significant role in many fields of nanotechnology including nanocatalysis, sensing, supermagnetic properties, fuel cells, nanoenergy storage and conservation. Dyes are synthetic compounds which have wide range of application in textiles, paints etc., and the dye effluents from the dyeing industries cause water pollution. In this present study, ZnO photocatalyst have been synth...

The objective of this study was to investigate the biosorption of an azo dye (Methylene blue) by a wetland phytomass (Typha angustata) under post-phytoremediation scenario. Thus, the phytomass was used without any chemical modification. The batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of contact time and temperatures (25–45 C) on the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from...

Sorbents derived from roots of Tephrosia purpurea, leaves and stems of Terminalia Arjuna and Bivalve snail shells have been explored for their sorption abilities towards Methylene Blue using synthetically prepared simulated waste waters. It is found that at high pHs, these bio-materials have shown strong affinity towards Methylene Blue. The physicochemical properties such as pH, sorbent concent...
