The construction and design of a microscope coupled with a miniature UV-vis spectrometer is described. This was applied to the study of dyes linked to solid supports and displayed good correlation in spectral shape and lambda(max) values when compared to the dyes in solution, as well as showing a linear relationship between dye loading and UV-vis absorbance. The spectral profiles of these dyes ...

An infrared (IR) spectroscopic technique was used to determine the possible functional groups and chemical compounds present in commercially available ink-jet printing reactive dyes of four primary colours, i.e. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Although other instrumental analytical methods can help to determine the actual chemical composition of reactive dyes, the IR technique alone can still...

in the present work, we have investigated the sorption efficiency of the treated activated carbon from walnut shell(acw) towards direct red 81 (dr81) and direct blue 71 (db71) for the removal from aqueous solution. thesorption study of acw at the solid-liquid interface was investigated using kinetic, sorption isotherms, ph effectand amount of adsorbent. experimental data were analyzed by langmu...

A simple and rapid analytical method for the determination of trace levels of five sulphonated and azo sulphonated reactive dyes: Cibacron Reactive Blue 2 (C-Blue, trisulphonated dye), Cibacron Reactive Red 4 (C-Red, tetrasulphonated azo dye), Cibacron Reactive Yellow 2 (C-Yellow, trisulphonated azo dye), Levafix Brilliant Red E-4BA (L-Red, trisulphonated dye), and Levafix Brilliant Blue E-4BA ...

In this research, several series of triarylmethane dyes containing one or more terminal methoxy substituents with a variable tertiary amino groups have been used. These dyes have been applied to different substrates by using various methods including transfer printing and then their fastness properties were measured. These dyes shows exceptionally high light fastness (6-7) on acid modified poly...

Series of novel dichromophoric cyanine dyes based on 2-aminobenzothiazoles and 3-amino-1,2,4 -triazole have been synthesized in high yields. All the dyes have been classified as disperse dyes. Besides their electronic spectroscopic properties, high dye-uptakes on polyester, excellent fastness properties, highly extinction coefficients, and broad solvatochromic effects have been observed in thes...

Biochemical degradation test of food coal-tar dyes using sludge was studied in order to evaluate their safety. It was found that some dyes were little decomposed under aerobic condition but four azo dyes were readily decomposed under anaerobic condition. These were Food Yellow No. 4, No. 5, and Food Red No. 2, No. 102. Decomposed products of these four azo dyes by sludge under anaerobic conditi...

In our search for efficient and photostable laser dyes, four new dyes with the basic structure of the commercial BODIPY laser dye PM567, with either an 8-diphenylene or an 8-p-triphenylene group, both substituted at the terminal polyphenylene position with an acetoxymethyl (dyes P2Ar1Ac and P3Ar1Ac, respectively) or a methacryloyloxymethyl group (dyes P2Ar1MA and P3Ar1MA, respectively), have be...

The large number of publications in the field of extraction, purification, modification, and process optimization of natural dyes and their application on textiles demonstrates the revival of natural dyes on textile coloration. The use of natural dyes is growing in popularity because of the quality of the natural dyestuff obtained, the environmental compatibility of the dyes and the substantial...

Toxicity of two azo dyes (Reactive Orange 16 (RO16); Congo Red (CR)) and two anthraquinone dyes (Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR); Disperse Blue 3 (DB3)) were compared using bacterium Vibrio fischeri, microalga Selenastrum capricornutum and ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis. The following respective endpoints were involved: acute toxicity measured as bacterial luminescence inhibition, algal growth ...
