The feasibility of employing nanofiltration (NF) in the decolorization of ionic (direct blue 86) and nonionic (disperse blue 56) dye aqueous solutions was investigated. The effects of feed concentration (60- 180 mg/l), pressure (0.5- 1.1 MPa) and pH (6- 10) were studied. Experiments were performed in a laboratory- scale set up by using a TFC commercial spiral wound polyamide nanofilter. The res...

In this study, the adsorption of Reactive blue 19 onto pomegranate residual-based activated carbon PRAC was investigated in aqueous solution. The activated carbon prepared by phosphoric acid activation under air condition. PRAC was characterized for its surface chemistry by point of zero charge measurements, Scanning Electron Microscopy and nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. The effect of operational...

Nile blue derivatives have been shown to be potentially effective photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy of malignant tumors. Results of a previous study suggested that the high accumulation of these dyes in cells may be the result of dye aggregation, partition in membrane lipids, and/or sequestration in subcellular organelles. In this report, results of studies are presented from an investi...

Selective polymeric extractants were prepared for preconcentration of Cibacron reactive red dye, a dye that is often applied with Cibacron reactive blue and Cibacron reactive yellow for dyeing of fabrics. The best extractant was fabricated (in chloroform) using methacrylic acid (as monomer), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (as crosslinker), AIBN (as initiator for polymerization), and red dye as ...

in this study, removal of methylene blue by electro-coagulation method using aluminum and iron electrodes was investigated. the influence of the operating parameters such as contact time, current density, anode type, inter-electrodes distance, initial and final ph and energy consumption rate was determined. dye removal was increased with increases in solution ph, current density and contact tim...

In the present study, cotton fabric was exposed to laser exposure at different energy levels and then the silver nanoparticles were coated on untreated and laser treated cotton fabrics. Methylene blue dye was used to detect the presence of carboxylic acid groups (-COO) on laser treated cotton and the dye absorption results were determined spectrophotometrically. ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Pla...

Despite the development of successful selective media favoring the more pathogenic members of the Enterobacteriaceae, media of primarily differential nature have not been entirely satisfactory for several reasons, such as the following: (1) Generally only colonies of lactose fermenters are colored, whereas the colorless colonies of nonfermenters tend to be masked by the diffusion of dye from fe...

Herein, we report a case of sentinel lymph node mapping in a uterine cervix cancer patient, referring to the nuclear medicine department of our institute. Lymphoscintigraphy images showed inappropriate intra‐cervical injection of radiotracer. Blue dye technique was applied for sentinel lymph node mapping, using intra‐cervical injection of methylene blue. Two blue/cold sentinel lymph nodes, with...

The various theories of the nature of the act of staining of animal cells, tissues and products, which have been put forward by different writers fall into three groups: (i) that the process of staining is a chemical reaction between the dye on the one hand, and the cell or tissue elements on the other; (2) that in staining the dye is adsorbed by the tissue elements stained; and (3) that the dy...

1. The renal excretion of phenol red and other phenolsulphophthalein dyes (bromophenol blue and bromothymol blue) was studied in clearance experiments on anaesthetized rabbits. 2. Net tubular excretion of phenol red reached a maximal value of 8 mumole/min at a plasma concentration of ultrafiltrable dye of about 0.1 mM and was decreased at higher plasma concentrations. Decreases in net tubular e...
