The present work has been carried out to study the mechanism of electrochemical degradation of Congo red dye. Electrolysis has been carried out in a single-chamber electrochemical cell having graphite anode and platinum cathode in the presence of KCl as supporting electrolyte under amperostatic conditions. The potential across the electrodes has been adjusted so that a constant 30 mA current pa...

Congo red, which has a complex molecular structure with various diazo aromatic groups, is widely used in textile industry as an anionic dye. The purpose of this study was to investigate the degradation of Congo red in laboratory solution which had the chemical properties of the rinse waters of textile manufacturing dye-houses and the samples with Congo red alone wastewater by ozonation and to o...

Instant adsorption of Congo Red (CR) by a 1D coordination polymer, [(H2L)0.5][Zn(1,2,3-BTA)(H2O)]·2H2O (1·2H2O), leads to the formation of a unique dye composite 1·0.75CR·6H2O, which demonstrates a remarkably enhanced photocurrent response compared to that of its precursor.

Cellulase is the key enzyme in the bio refinery process of producing green chemicals. As cellulase production cost is the major factor in these processes, there is lot of need to isolate the effective producers of cellulase from the natural environment which can degrade the abundantly available lignocellulose materials. Congo red clearing zone assay, gel diffusion assay and dyed congo red filte...

Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and non destructive method of dye removal from water and soil. In this research study, phytoremediation potential of a macroalgae Chara vulgaris was investigated as a viable biomaterial for biological treatment of congo red in aqueous solution. The effects of parameters such as reaction time, pH, initial dye concentration, temperature and amount of algae on b...

To obtain basic information on the detection of cellulolytic activity in Auricularia auricula-judae, the influences of dye reagent, pH, and temperature were assessed. Chromogenic dye (congo red, phenol red, remazol brilliant blue, and trypan blue) was individually incorporated into a medium containing either carboxymethyl-cellulose, Avicel, or D-cellobiose as a polysaccharide carbon substrate. ...

Most dyes related to trypan blue inhibited hemolytic activity of oligonucleotide-streptolysin S (SLS) complex, an exotoxin produced by Streptococcus pyogenes. Order of the inhibition was: trypan blue greater than benzo blue 2B greater than Congo red greater than Evans blue greater than benzo purpurine 4B greater than thiazine red greater than trypan red. When resting streptococcal cells were in...

tio2 /fe3o4 nanocomposites with various tio2:fe3o4 ratios were synthesized by an ultrasonic-assisted deposition-precipitation method and their uv-light decolorization of congo dye and magnetic separation were investigated. the nanocomposite samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), surface area analayzer (bet) and fourier transform infrare...

releasing of textile dye effluents into general water bodies is a major environmental and healthproblem. color removal, in particular, has recently become of major scientific interest, as indicated by themultitude of related research reports. during the past two decades, several physico-chemical decolorizationtechniques have been reported, few, however, have been accepted by the textile industr...

Micellar structures formed by self-assembling Congo red molecules bind to proteins penetrating into function-related unstable packing areas. Here, we have used Congo red--a supramolecular protein ligand--to investigate how the intramolecular structural changes that take place in antibodies following antigen binding lead to complement activation. According to our findings, Congo red binding sign...
