Synthetic dyes are a very efficient class of dyes that are ingested or come into contact with the skin from numerous sources (cosmetics, textiles, leather, paper, and drugs). An important component of their safety profile is the interactions that they form after they enter the body. Hemoglobin is a functionally important protein that can form multiple interactions with soluble compounds present...

In this study, 8 novel pyrazole disperse dyes which were synthesized in our previous work [1] applied to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6) fiber fabrics their colorimetric fastness properties evaluated. The measured a*, b* hue angle (ho) values of all dyed exhibited yellow, orange red colour shades. Quite high strength (K/S) particularly for c...

Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer between two organic dyes Fluorescein and Rhodamine 6G was investigated in aqueous solution in presence and absence of synthetic clay laponite. Spectroscopic studies suggest that both the dyes were present mainly as monomer in solution. Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer occurred from Fluorescein to Rhodamine 6G in solutions. Energy transfer efficiency ...

In recent years, anthocyanins, natural dyes, have promoted great scientific and technological interest. Their intrinsic antioxidant properties health benefits make them ideal representatives of dyes as replacements for synthetic dyes. However, their instability can limit use. A promising strategy to increase the color stability anthocyanins is interaction with clay minerals structures. Clay cha...

In textile industry during the dyeing process roughly 10% of synthetic dyes were used and let into the wastewater. Among all dyestuff Azo dyes occupies in majority, because they are extensively used in the textile, paper, food, leather, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. They represent chief polluting components ranging from inorganic compounds to polymers and organic elements. However pr...

Synthetic dyes are integral part of many industrial products. The effluents generated from textile dyeing units create major environmental problems and issues both in public and textile units. Industrial wastewater treatment is one of the major problems in the present scenario. Though, the physical and chemical methods offer some solutions to the problems, it is not affordable by the unit opera...

Bioaccumulation of synthetic dyes viz. Acid Blue 93, Direct Red 28 and Basic Violet 3 by the environmental yeast isolate, Candida tropicalis growing in aqueous extract of sugarcane bagasse medium was studied in a batch system as a function of initial pH and dye concentrations. The optimum pH value for bioaccumulation was found to be 3.0 for Acid Blue 93 and Direct Red 28 and 5.0 for Basic Viole...

Amongst functional macromolecules, the combination of polymers and dyes is a research field of great potential with regard to high-performance materials. Accordingly, colored polymers have become increasingly important as materials for miscellaneous technical applications in recent years while also being a major part of everyday life. For instance, dye-containing polymers are nowadays widely ap...

Water plays a vital and essential role in our ecosystem. This natural resource is becoming scarce, making its availability a major social and economic concern. Use of a large variety of synthetic dyes in textile industries has raised an hazardous environmental alert. About 17 20% of freshwater pollution is caused by textile effluents. These effluents are recalcitrant to biodegradation and cause...
