Giles, Charles H. (The University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland), and Robert B. McKay. Adsorption of cationic (basic) dyes by fixed yeast cells. J. Bacteriol. 89:390-397. 1965.-The adsorption of 10 typical cationic dyes on formalin-fixed yeast cells has been studied by determining isotherms, and the results are consistent with an ion-exchange mechanism. The adsorption on this complex substr...

In this study, the adsorption of certain water-soluble cationic dyes, (basic blue 9, basic blue 12, basic blue 17, brilliant cresyl blue, janus green B, basic green 4, basic violet 1, basic violet 3, and thionin) onto TriSyl silicas by batch adsorption at 25◦C was investigated. In the adsorption experiments, Langmuir type adsorption in the Giles classification system was found. Binding paramete...

Designed experiments based on a simplex mixture design were employed to explore the effects of three solvent components (water, formic acid, and aqueous acetic acid), extraction time, and extraction temperature for the automated microextraction of basic (cationic) dyes from acrylic fibers. Extractions were conducted by an automated liquid handling system, and dye extraction was evaluated using ...

In this study, several biowaste materials are screened for adsorptive removal of methylene blue (MB) from synthetic water. Among the tested adsorbents, barley (Hordeum vulgare) bran (BB) and enset (Ensete ventricosum midrib leaf, EVML) were selected further evaluation MB (a model cationic dye) adsorption. Batch adsorption performance BB EVML adsorbents was significantly high in a wide pH range ...

The excited-state dynamics of the cationic dye malachite green (MG) and of the dianionic dye eosin B at the dodecane/water interface has been investigated using femtosecond time-resolved surface second harmonic generation (TR-SSHG). By using different probe wavelengths, the contributions of monomeric and aggregated MG to the signal could be spectroscopically distinguished. The effect of the add...

In this paper, the use of surfactants for solubilization of hydrophobic organic dyes (mainly solvent and disperse dyes) has been reviewed. The effect of parameters such as the chemical structures of the surfactant and the dye, addition of salt and of polyelectrolytes, pH, and temperature on dye solubilization has been discussed. Surfactant self-assemble into micelles in aqueous solution and bel...

BACKGROUND Recently, researchers have tried to design synthetic materials by replicating natural materials as an adsorbent for removing various types of environmental pollutants, which have reached to the risky levels in nature for many countries in the world. In this research, the potential of onion membrane obtained from intermediate of onion shells for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) as a ...

The separation of reactive, sulfur, and vat dyes from cotton dyeing effluent was investigated by a coagulation process using a cationic polymer electrolyte (PE). The coagulation of dyes was found to be considerably influenced by the amount of added PE and pH of the effluent. High degree of separation, (i.e.-90-99%) could be achieved for all the dyes. The secondary treatment of the PE treated (p...

In this study, we aimed to observe how different operating parameters influenced the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB, cationic dye) and bromophenol Blue (BPB, anionic over ZnO/CuO under visible light irradiation. This further corroborated optimization study employing response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD). The synthesis nanocomposite was carrie...

The present study prepares alkali lignin (AL) via acidification of black liquor, obtained from a pulp and paper factory. The average molecular weight of AL (equal to 2,530 g/mol) has been determined with gel permeation chromatography. AL has been modified by ethylene glycol, while lignin nanoparticles (LN) has been prepared through acid precipitation technology, their size being assessed by mea...
