Magnetic Fe3 O4 nanoparticles modified by polypyrrole (PPy@Fe3 O4 MNPs) was synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method and used as an adsorbent for removal of cationic dyes, Reactive Red195, from aqueous solutions. The resulting products are characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and FT-IR. The effects of solution pH value, adsorbent amount, adsorption time and capacity of the...

Non-equilibrium helium atmospheric-pressure plasma (He-APP), which allows for a strong non-equilibrium chemical reaction of O2 and N2 in ambient air, uniquely produces multiple extremely reactive products, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), in plasma-irradiated solution. We herein show that relatively short-lived unclassified reactive species (i.e., deactivated within approximately 10 min) ...

In this study, a biological coagulant (gum) extracted from moringa seeds is produced as to treat Reactive Yellow 145 (RY145) and Red 194 (RR194). The material's properties are determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) FTIR. SEM images show that the surface structure of gum has appearance relatively fine pores homogenously distributed particles on surface. FTIR spectra indicate prepared m...

Discoloration in fruits and vegetables is reviewed in relation to the chemical and biochemical causes of black, brown, red, yellow, and green discolorations. In raw materials, only a limited understanding has so far been achieved of the internal black and brown discolorations. The biochemical signaling pathways triggered by wounding or chilling-storage, the nature of the enzymes and reactive ox...

The decolorization potential of textile dye Reactive Red 198 (RR198) by Aspergillus parasiticus fungal biosorbent has been investigated as a function of initial pH, contact time, biosorbent and initial dye concentration in a batch system. Maximum dye biosorption capacity 1.03x10 mol g was observed at pH 2.0 and 2.0 g L of biosorbent concentration. Biosorption equilibrium was attained within 50 ...

Seaweeds can produce variety of bioactive components for the benefits of humans. Malaysia is one of the countries to produce red seaweeds, which are popular secondary metabolites. Kappaphycus species, largest tropical red algae exhibit the high growth rate. It was reported that its biomass can grow double in just 15 to 30 days. Therefore, this investigation emphasized on two extraction...

Advanced industrialization has caused an increase in the continuous discharge of hazardous effluents environment. This study evaluated potential laccase synthesized by Bacillus sp. NU2 to degrade five synthetic dyes. Sawdust, wheat bran and peels banana tangerine were utilized as carbon sources for bacterial growth production. The produced crude enzyme was purified homogeneity determine its mol...

Abstract In order to evaluate the effect of application chitosan red wines with different initial composition, four showing tannins/anthocyanins ratio ( T / A ) ranging from 0.15 2.44 were treated this amino polysaccharide. As one main factors involved in wine ageing is oxidation, even a forced oxidation test was applied on all samples. The addition determined decrease total phenolic compounds ...

In this work, we use dark-field optical microscopy (DFM) and hyper spectral imaging (HSI) to study the interactions of single Ag and Au nanoparticles (NPs) with Hg in real time, at room temperature (25 uC). NPs were immobilized on glass substrates using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) as the anchoring agent. Red, green and blue colors were assigned to the particles in hyper spectral image...

BACKGROUND The alterations of the glutathione peroxidase enzyme complex system occur in physiological conditions such as aging and oxidative stress consequent to strenuous exercise. METHODS Authors optimize the spectrophotometric method to measure glutathione peroxidase activity in rat red blood cell membranes. RESULTS The optimization, when applied to age paired rats, both nulligravid and ...
