Abstract In this work, we synthesized an ionic liquid (IL)—(Dimethylamino)ethyl Methacrylate maleate ([DMAEMA]MA) as the crosslinker, through one-pot to hydrogels with high adsorption capacity for dye in water. Both anionic dyes (methylene blue, rhodamine B) and cationic (congo red, eosin could be adsorbed by type of hydrogel different mechanism, its methylene blue (MB), B (RHB), congo red (CR)...

The interaction of Congo Red CR with a series of Alkyltrimethylamoniumbromide CnTAB, N-hexadecylpyridinium bromide CPB and N-hexadecylpyridinium CPC were investigated using conductometry technique. It was observed that the formation of dye-surfactant ion pairs takes place at surfactant concentration far below the critical micelle concentration of the individual surfactants. Aggregation was refl...

The self-assembling tendency and protein complexation capability of dyes related to Congo red and also some dyes of different structure were compared to explain the mechanism of Congo red binding and the reason for its specific affinity for beta-structure. Complexation with proteins was measured directly and expressed as the number of dye molecules bound to heat-aggregated IgG and to two light ...

Azo dyes represent the world’s largest and most diverse group of synthetic dyes with uses spanning almost every industry (Pandey et al. 2007). Their significance to public health is great as these globally produced dyes have been proven to be carcinogenic upon biodegrading into their aromatic amines (Harmse 2013). But aside from their carcinogenic properties, azo dyes have another dangerous eff...

Many industries such as paper, food, cosmetics, textiles etc. use dye in order to colour their products. The presence of these dyes in water even at very low concentration is highly visible and undesirable. Colour is the first contaminant to be recognised. Photocatalytic technique and adsorption methods offer a good potential to remove colour from wastewater. In the present paper these two meth...

The adsorption behavior of anionic dye congo red (CR) from aqueous solutions using an anion exchange membrane (EBTAC) has been investigated at room temperature. The effect of several factors including contact time, membrane dosage, ionic strength and temperature were studied. Kinetic models, namely pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order, liquid film diffusion and Elovich models as well as B...

The nanoparticles of templated crosslinked chitosan, was prepared through using ECH as a crosslinker. The nanoparticles exhibited significantly higher adsorption capacities from the congo red dye than other adsorbent formed without a crosslinker. The adsorption of the dyes on the nanoparticles was affected by the initial pH, dye concentration, and temperature. The results were in accordance wit...

A dye-decolorizing bacterium was isolated from a soil sample and identified as Bacillus thuringiensis using 16S rRNA sequencing. The bacterium was able to decolorize three different textile dyes, namely, Reactive blue 13, Reactive red 58, and Reactive yellow 42, and a real dyehouse effluent up to 80-95% within 6 h. Some non-textile industrially important dyes were also decolorized to different ...

7Edberg SC, Bottonbley CJ and Gam K. Use of sodium polyanethol sulfonate to selectively inhibit aminoglycoside and polymyxin antibiotics in a rapid blood level antibiotic assay. There are numerous empirical methods for staining elastic fibres.' Most require relatively lengthy procedures which involve overnight incubation, and are therefore not adapted to simultaneous evaluation with the corresp...
