Dye-containing wastewater generated from textile industries is a major source of environmental pollution. Azo dyes, which are the largest group of coloring agents, are widely used in industries.This research investigated the photocatalytic decolorization and degradation of an azo dye Reactive Red 198 (RR198) in aqueous solution with TiO2-P25 (Degussa) as photocatalyst in slurry form using UV li...

In this paper we sensitized three free-metal azo days Dye 1, Dye 2 and Dye 3 based on 1,8-naphthalimide with n-propyl as the electron donor group. We used sulfonic acid and hydroxyl substituents as the electron acceptor anchoring group in synthesized dyes. The proposed dyes were sensitized from acenaphthene as the starting material by standard reactions and characterized by different techniques...

Background: Azo dyes are xenobiotic compounds that have bioaccumulated in the environment due to escalated industrial development. These are hazardous in nature, possessing carcinogenic and mutagenic effects on human beings. Objectives: The perspective of the present study was to isolate and to determine azo dye (Reactive Orange-16) degrading potential of...

We have investigated third order nonlinear optical properties and spectral characteristics of methylene blue dye in both polymer and liquid mixtures. The spectral characteristics of the dye is studied by recording the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the dye doped in poly(methylmethacrylate) modified with additive n-butyl acetate(nBA) and the dye in MMA and nBA (liquid mixture). The spect...

Docolorization of Methylene Blue was investigating using a Ultrasonic/Fenton like reactor in batch mode. The effects of pH, reaction time, initial concentration of dye, H2O2 and Fe on the dye removal was studied. It was found that the increase of initial dye and H2O2 concentration and the increase of initial pH, are not beneficial for improving the dye removal efficiency. Increasing the dye con...

In this paper we selected two metal-free dyes (Dye 1 and Dye 2) based on 1,8-naphthalimide. The proposed dyes were sensitized from acenaphthene as the starting material by standard reactions. Spectrophotometric measurements of the organic dyes in DMF and on TiO2 substrate were carried out in order to assess changes in the status of the dyes. Maximum absorption wavelengths for Dye...

In this paper, synthesis and antimicrobial properties of cationic dye were investigated. 4-acetylamino-N-2-aminomethylpyridine-1,8-naphthalimide was reacted with 1-bromobutane as the alkylating agent and a cationic dye was obtained. The final product was purified by column chromatography method. The chemical structure of the novel cationic dye and its intermediates was chracterisized by using F...

In the vapor phase a solvent-free spectroscopic analysis of dye molecules is applicable [1-3]. For some dye vapors laser action was achieved [1-3]. The dye vapor pressure rises approximately exponentially with temperature. Reasonable vapor pressures (p around 100 Pa = 1 mbar) are obtained for many non-ionic dyes in a temperature region between 200 and 400 °C without considerable thermal decompo...

today, using new and renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels is greatly expanded. the solar cells are devices that convert solar energy to electrical energy. solar cells based on organic materials, especially proteins, are one of these solar cells. for example, bacteriorhodopsin (br) which is one of the membrane proteins in halobacterium salinarum could be used in solar cells and parti...
