Dyes are synthetic organic compounds widely used in various industries such as, textile, leather, plastic, food, pharmaceutical, and paints manufacturing industries. Coloured effluents are highly toxic to the aquatic life and mutagenic to humans. Wastewater containing dyes has become an important issue demanding serious attention. Among the synthetic dyes, azo dyes are the largest and most wide...

Azo dyes are one of the oldest industrially synthesized organic compounds characterized by presence of Azo bond (-N=N-) and are widely utilized as coloring agents in textile, leather, cosmetic, paint, plastic, paper, and food industries During textile processing, inefficiencies in dyeing result in large amounts of the dyestuff (varying from 2% loss when using basic dyes to a 50% loss when certa...

In this study, absorption spectra of sixteen azo dyes have been recorded in various solvents. These azo dyes have substituents such as OH, SO3H, Cl, I, NO2, C2H5 and OCH3 in different positions of phenyl ring. There is a shift in λmax whose amount is dependent upon the type and position of substituent on the ring. The effects of substituent on the absorption spectra of azo dyes are interpreted ...

Approximately 0.7 million tons of azo dyes are synthesized each year. Azo dyes are composed of one or more R₁-N=N-R₂ linkages. Studies have shown that both mammalian and microbial azoreductases cleave the azo bonds of the dyes to form compounds that are potentially genotoxic. The human gastrointestinal tract harbors a diverse microbiota comprised of at least several thousand species. Both water...

2-Amino-1,3-benzothiazole was synthesized and schiff bases were prepared by reacting a series of aromatic aldehydes with 2-amino-1,3-benzothiazole to form a number of potentially biologically active compounds. Azo dyes of 2-amino-1,3-benzothiazole were synthesized by reacting various aromatic amines , substituted amines and phenols. The structures of 2-amino-1,3-benzothiazole, Schiff bases and ...

Twenty-two azo dyes were used to study the influence of substituents on azo dye biodegradability and to explore the possibility of enhancing the biodegradabilities of azo dyes without affecting their properties as dyes by changing their chemical structures. Streptomyces spp. and Phanerochaete chrysosporium were used in the study. None of the actinomycetes (Streptomyces rochei A10, Streptomyces ...

background and objectives: synthetic dyes are recalcitrant to degradation and toxic to different organisms. decolorization of textile wastewaters is one of the major concerns since last decades. physical-chemical treatments are very expensive and frequently producing large amounts of toxic wastes. biological treatments can be more convenient. in the present study, an attempt has been made for d...

Introduction Azo dyes – a fatal threat or a new generation of drugs? In 1858 Griss developed the azo coupling reaction and obtained first azo dye – Aniline Yellow. Nowadays, around 10 thousands of these compounds are described and more than 2 thousands are applied to color various materials. Azo dyes are characterized by the presence of the azo moiety (–N=N–) in their structure, conjugated with...

A new preparation method of polymer dyes was developed to improve both the grafting degree of the azo dyes onto O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OMCS) and the water solubility of prepared polymer dyes. Firstly, the coupling compound of two azo edible colorants, sunset yellow (SY) and allura red (AR), was grafted onto OMCS, and then coupled with their diazonium salt. The chemical structure of prepared ...

–A novel series of 2-phenyl-5-sulpha/substituted-3-phenyl substituted azo indoles have been synthesized and tested as an antifertility activity in mature albino mice. The tested compounds showed significant antifertility activity. Keywords––Synthesis, Antifertility activity, Indore, Azo indoles, chemical analysis.
