The organic dyes directly pollute the soil, water, plants and all living systems in the environment. In the present investigation, adsorption of brilliant green dye on silica from aqueous solution was studied. The dye adsorption mechanism was studied on the basic surface of silica. The adsorption parameters were optimized to maximum adsorption. The adsorption mechanism of brilliant green on sil...

An Nd doped ZnO (1-5%) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized via chemical co-precipitation method. The optical property, nature, and morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed by UV-Visible, XRD, and FESEM respectively. XRD study reveals that Nd has been effectively incorporated in the ZnO lattice in the lower level dosage; however, the crystalline nature has been distor...

Commercial brilliant green (BG)-sulfa agar was found to be nonselective toward a test series of Enterobacteriaceae. Various formulations of BG were prepared by using Trypticase soy agar (BBL) as a base. Results were more reproducible when BG dye was added after sterilization than before. Sulfonamides improved selectivity as compared with brilliant green alone. Sulfanilamide (SN) was slightly mo...

Different technologies may be used for decolorization of wastewater containing dyes. Among them, biological processes are the most promising because they seem to be environmentally safe. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of decolorization of two dyes belonging to different classes (azo and triphenylmethane dyes) by immobilized biomass of strains of fungi (Pleurotus ostreatus...

A simple and accurate cloud point-spectrophotometric method for determination of Mesalazine (MEZ) in pure form pharmaceutical formulations is proposed. The procedure based on the reaction with brilliant green dye (BG) forming a pale-yellow ion-pair complex after extracting Triton X-114 measured at 361 nm. experimental conditions phase separation were optimized. Beer’s law was obeyed range 0.3-3...
