Cationic dye Acridine orange (AO) has wide applications especially in biologicalfields such as analysis of lysosomal and mitochondria content by flow cytometryand so on. In the current work, spectroscopy of acridine orange (AO) dye at bothlow concentrations (mdye/mwater=6.25×10-5, 3.12×10-5) and high concentrations(mdye/mwater=0.002, 0.001) was studied in confined water ...

In the present study, the decolorization and degradation of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) azo dye was investigated by biological, photocatalytic (UV/TiO2) and combined processes. Application of Candida tropicalis JKS2 in treatment of the synthetic medium containing RB5 indicated complete decolorization of the dye with 200 mg/L in less than 24 h. Degradation of the aromatic rings, resulting from the de...

The synthesis and characterization of BiOCl and Fe3+-grafted BiOCl (Fe/BiOCl) is reported that are developed as efficient adsorbents for the removal of cationic dyes rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) as well as anionic dyes methyl orange (MO) and acid orange (AO) from aqueous solutions with low concentration of 0.01~0.04 mmol/L. Characterizations by various techniques indicate that Fe3+...

The interaction between methyl red (azo dye) and cetylpyridinium chloride (cationic surfactant) in the methanol-water system were studied using a spectrophotometric technique. Variable parameters like constant dye concentration its structure, surfactant concentration, pH, absorbance, solvent composition studied. Using UV-Vis technique, critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of measured with red...

The low density polyethylene-chitosan nanoparticles (LDPE/CHNP) biocomposite was applied as a biosorbent for the adsorption of Congo red (CR) anionic dye and methyl (MR) cationic an in single binary system. effect parameter pH, contact time, initial concentration, adsorbent dosage temperature were studied on two dyes component Kinetic studies showed that LDPE/CHNP binary-component system follow...

We report a facile and rapid (less than 15 min) synthesis of atomically precise, dithiol-protected, silver quantum cluster, Ag7(DMSA)4 (DMSA: meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid), through a modified solid state route. The as-synthesized cluster exhibits molecular optical absorption features with a prominent λmax at ~500 nm. Composition of the cluster was confirmed using various spectroscopic and m...

Porous BiOCl micro-flowers constructed from ultrathin nanosheets with nearly 100% {001} facets exposed were selectively prepared. The exposed {001} facets terminated with a high density of oxygen atoms and are not only favorable for the adsorption of the cationic dye RhB but also can accumulate the photogenerated electrons injected from excited RhB. These electrons can be captured by O(2) and t...

A model system was established which could serve for the quick and reliable estimation of the possibility to use aromatic dyes in staining elastic fibers and lamellas. Specially prepared samples of aorta wall tissue (taken from the corpse material of a healthy male, aged 31) and model proteins (collagen and elastin) were stained with acid diazo-dyes applied in water solution, 70% ethanol and di...

Anionic B complexes have been known and extensively studied as intermediates of nucleophilic aromatic substitution since the beginning of the century.l In a paper that still makes fascinating reading, Meisenheimer describes the formation and isolation of anionic B complexes by reaction of picryl ethers with potassium alkoxides. Structural proof is derived from the fact'that identical u complexe...
