This paper reports on photocatalytic decolorization of a hazardous indigo carmine dye solution. The photocatalytic decolorization was carried out in the presence of the catalyst ZnO. The effect of catalyst dose, pH and initial dye concentration on the degradation process has been assessed. The aqueous dye solution was degraded in a photochemical reactor in the presence of UV light (365nm) along...

Abstract Aluminium doped zinc oxide (AZO) nanomaterials (Al x Zn 1-x O) with fraction varying as 0.02 and 0.04 were synthesized using the auto-combustion method glycine a fuel. The catalysts characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–Visible Spectroscopy (UV–Vis), Raman spectroscopy, Photoluminescence (PL) High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM). XRD results showed that materia...

The Hill reaction is one of the simplest chloroplast reactions in which one can measure in unambiguous terms both the reducing and the oxidizing equivalents produced in the process of photosyntnesis. In its simplest aspect, the oxidizing power is measured as oxygen production, while the reducing power is measured in terms of reduction of some electron acceptor (9). Two other photochemical react...

OBJECTIVES AND AIMS To avoid damage to the ureters during bladder neck preparation in radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, it may be helpful to insert ureteral stents temporarily or to intravenously administer indigo carmine dye for enhanced visualisation of ureteric orifices. We evaluated our bladder neck preserving technique at radical prostatectomy with regard to ureteric injuries. P...

Although there have been numerous investigations on the macrophagic or reticulo-endothelial system of adult mammals, relatively few studies have been made on the phagocytic potentialities of fetuses and young mammals. Emmel,' in an abstract on the hematogenic activity of the pig embryos' liver, commented on the phagocytic activity of the hepatic "endothelial" cells. Phagocytic capacity of the r...

spectrophotometric and electrochemical studies were successfully used in quantitative analysis of amitriptyline hydrochloride (ath) and nortriptyline hydrochloride (nth). conductometric titration were carried out in equeous solution using iodide and dopamine and serotonine as titrant. two new methods using spectrophotometry are dascribed for the determination of (ath) and (nth) with potassium b...

Myrothecium verrucaria 3.2190 is a nonligninolytic fungus that produces bilirubin oxidase. Both M. verrucaria and the extracellular bilirubin oxidase were tested for their ability to decolorize indigo carmine. The biosorption and biodegradation of the dye were detected during the process of decolorization; more than 98% decolorization efficiency was achieved after 7 days at 26°C. Additionally, ...
