A simple sensitive and rapid colorimetric method has been developed, and herein described, for the qualitative and quantitative chemical assessment of the commercially available chitosan products. The described method relies on the reactivity of the basic amino function of chitosan with the acid dye bromocresol purple. The applied technique allows assessment of variability and selectivity chang...

A heteroditopic BODIPY dye that performs all basic Boolean operations with a cation (K(+)) and an anion (F(-)) as inputs and absorption, transmission and fluorescence as outputs is described. The molecular logic gate can also act as a digital comparator between the inputs.

In order to find a more satisfactory interpretation of the phenomenon of photosensitized inactivation of bacteria, studies were performed under various experimental conditions on methylene blue and E. coli. In summary the findings are as follow:- 1. The dye is absorbed by the bacteria according to the Langmuir isotherm and can be removed by ionic substitutions; the dye binding to the bacteria i...

This study was undertaken to compare the isoelectric points of gram positive and gram negative bacterial cells by the method of microelectrophoresis. Within recent years a number of workers have referred to differences in the isoelectric point of the gram positive and the gram negative groups of bacteria. This concept arose from the studies of Stearn and Steam (1924, 1925, 1928), Tolstoouhov (1...

Fungi is widely found on air, soil, water and organic substances in nature. Unlike single-celled bacteria, fungi form multicellular structures, sometimes even visible to the naked eye. In studies of Aspergillus sp. removal dye order obtain information, examinations are made by painting. Basic dyes, when ionized, charged with positive electricity. dyes include malachite green, methyl violet, cry...

Abstract The use of dimensionally stable anode (DSA) for degrading organic pollutants is concern recently. electrocatalytic technique can efficiently treat biodegradable matter like dye-containing effluent discharge. This study focuses on applying modified DSA meshed IrO 2 /Ti electrode the electrochemical degradation wastewater effluents Basic Red 46 (BR46) textile dye using different supporti...

In this paper, the adsorption of Basic Blue159 (BB159) onto banana peel as a low-cost material was studied. At first, the banana peel was sieved. Later, banana peel particles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a fu...
