background and purpose:organic dyes with a complex structure are often toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, non-biodegradation and stable in the environment and if released to the environment without treatment can endanger the environment and human health. the aim was to evaluate the performance nanoscalezero-valent iron (nzvi) in the removal of dye acid red 18 (ar18) from aqueous solutions. materia...

the photocatalytic degradation of two anionic azo dyes acid red88 (ar 88) and acid orange 7 (ao7) was investigated in aqueous solution using a tio2-containing hydrogel and uv light. the ph-sensitive hydrogel poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (psma), was synthesized and crosslinked in the presence of melamine and tio2 nanoparticles which results in entrapment of tio 2 into the melamine-grafted...

in this paper cufe2o4, nanocrystalline powders were prepared. also, the supported cu ferrite was obtained by impregnation of the supports with cu and fe nitrates solutions, for calcination temperature 450 ºc. the samples were characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) and fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir). photocatalytic degradation of acid red 206 in water was studied. cufe2...

We examined the movement of [3H]palmitate across giant sarcolemmal vesicles prepared from red and white muscle of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Red and white muscle fatty acid carriers have similar affinities for palmitate (apparent Km = 26 +/- 6 and 33 +/- 8 nM, respectively); however, red muscle has a higher maximal uptake compared with white muscle (Vmax = 476 +/- 41 vs. 229 +/- 23 pm...

Photosystem II (PSII) contains different extrinsic proteins required for oxygen evolution among different organisms. Cyanobacterial PSII contains the 33 kDa, 12 kDa proteins and cytochrome (cyt) c-550; red algal PSII contains a 20 kDa protein in addition to the three homologous cyanobacterial proteins; whereas higher plant PSII contains the 33 kDa, 23 kDa and 17 kDa proteins. In order to unders...

This study analyzed the fatty acids composition and their profile qualitatively quantitatively of nine abundant macroalgal specimens collecting from Egyptian coasts. GC mass analysis identified 23 types, including 13 saturated (SFA) 10 monounsaturated (MUSFA). SFA dominated with 78%, while MUFAs had 22%, UFAs were negligible at 0.01%. MUSFA oleic acid (omega-9) was present in all species except...
