Degradation of 29 dyes by means of an activated carbon fiber (ACF) electrode electrolysis system was performed successfully. Almost all dye solutions tested were decolorized effectively in this ACF electrolysis process. Internal relationships between treatment mechanisms and chemical composition of the dye have been discussed in this paper. Generally, it is shown that higher solubility leads to...

background: the efficacy of nh4cl-induced activated carbon (nac) was examined in order to adsorb rr198, an azo reactive model dye, from an aqueous solution. methods: the effects of ph (3 to 10), adsorbent dose (0.1 to 1.2 g/l), dye concentration and contact time on the adsorption efficiency were investigated. results: the results showed that the removal of dye was highest at a solution ph of 7 ...

In this study, the adsorption of 4-hydroxy phenyl-azobenzene on the surface of (4, 0) zigzag open-end boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) has been investigated by quantum calculations. In order to find the preferred adsorption site, different positions and orientations were considered. The impacts of donor-acceptor electron delocalization on the structural and electronic properties and reactivity of ...

Abstract Disperse Orange 1, colour index 11080, is an azo dye. Collectively, dyes are a common cause of textile-related allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). A 2006 European Union (EU) directive restricts the sale any articles or dyed items that have direct and prolonged with skin oral cavity contain more than 30-ppm dyes. These include wide range such clothing, bedding, furniture, toys yarn. Desp...

The model of the rotational diffusion of the azo-dye molecules under the action of polarized uv light was used to explain the formation of the photoinduced order in azo-dye layers. We consider both the approximations of negligible and strong molecular interaction during the process of the reorientation under the field of a polarized light. We constructed an experimental setup, based on a photoe...

As a part of systematic investigation of biologically active compound, new azo dye ligand N-(4, 6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-4-((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl) diazenyl) benzene sulfonamide has been synthesized by diazotization of 4-amino-N-(4, 6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl) benzenesulfonamide and coupled with coupling compound, naphthalen-2-ol. A new series of Ni (II), Cu (II), and Zn (II) complexes derive...

The azo dye acid red 151 (AR151) was aerobically biodegraded in a sequencing batch biofilter packed with a porous volcanic rock. AR151 was used as the sole source of carbon and energy for acclimated microorganisms. Acclimation was followed using the degradation time and the oxygen uptake rate. A maximal oxygen uptake rate of 0.5 mg O(2)/(lmin) was obtained. Mineralization studies showed that 73...

A novel photoaligned twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) cell is fabricated by one-step illumination with oblique nonpolarized UV light of an empty cell with azo-dye layers coated on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. If the incident angle is sufficiently large (>75 ), the p-polarization of the light is more pronounced for the bottom azo-dye layer in comparison with that for the upp...

The azobenzene moiety, well-known not only for its reversible cis-to-trans photoisomerization but also as a hapten, does not induce antibodies on its own, but it reacts with antibodies raised against conjugates with protein carriers. Hence we selected azobenzene dye as an indicator to assess the possibility of having gold nano-particles act as an immunological carrier instead of protein carrier...
