Nenavathu, *a Syam Kandula b and Swati Verma c Photocatalysts suffer from a lack of separation of photogenerated excitons due to the fast recombination of charge carriers, so a strong synergistic effect exhibited by photocatalysts is promising for effective photocatalysis. Herein, we have synthesized efficient visible light functionalized graphene oxide nanosheet (FGS)/ZnO nanocomposite photocatalysts via a simple and economical approach with large scale production for practical applications. A series of nanocomposites (FGS/ZnO NCs) with different amounts by weight of graphene oxide (GO) have been synthesized via a facile solution route followed by calcination under environmental conditions. The phase, purity and morphological studies of the synthesized FGS/ZnO NCs were carried out using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. electron microscopy (TEM). The optical properties were studied using UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). XRD results confirm the formation of a pure phase of ZnO in the FGS/ZnO NCs and TEM results show strongly adhered ZnO NPs on the surface of the FGS. DRS results confirm the extension of light absorption in the visible region while PL results confirm the effective separation of charge carriers in 0.09 wt% FGS/ZnO NCs. The synthesized photocatalyst efficiently degrades carcinogenic safranin-T dye under visible light illumination which is reported for the first time using FGS/ZnO nanocomposites.

  • Amplified Spontaneous Emission and Gain in Highly Concentrated
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Amplifed spontaneous emission and gain in highly concentrated Rhodamine‑doped peptide derivative Andrey Machnev1*, Daniel Ofer1,2, Ivan Shishkin1,3, Vitali Kozlov1, Carlo Diaferia4, Antonella Accardo4, Giancarlo Morelli4, Boris Apter5, Alexandra Inberg1, Gil Rosenman1 & Pavel Ginzburg1 Bioinspired fuorescence, being widely explored for imaging purposes, faces challenges in delivering bright biocompatible sources. While quite a few techniques have been developed to reach this goal, encapsulation of high‑quantum yield fuorescent dyes in natural biological forms suggest achieving superior light‑emitting characteristics, approaching amplifed spontaneous emission and even lasing. Here we compare gain capabilities of highly concentrated Rhodamine B solutions with a newly synthesized biocompatible peptide derivative hybrid polymer/peptide material, RhoB‑PEG1300‑F6, which contains the fuorescent covalently bound dye. While concentration quenching efects limit the maximal achievable gain of dissolved Rhodamine B, biocompatible conjugation allows elevating amplifcation coefcients towards moderately high values. In particular, Rhodamine B, anchored to the peptide derivative material, demonstrates gain of 22–23 ­cm−1 for a 10−2 M solution, while a pure dye solution possesses 25% smaller values at the same concentration. New biocompatible fuorescent agents pave ways to demonstrate lasing in living organisms and can be further introduced to therapeutic applications, if proper solvents are found. Bioimaging is a widely used technique, contributing to a broad range of applications, spanning from fundamental cellular studies to applied therapeutics 1. Te ability to visualize individual functional sites within a cell, identify tumors, track conformation processes in real time and many other such abilities make optical tools an inherent part of biomedical research and treatment 2.

Radhi, Mouayed A. Hussein, Zaki N. Kadhim* Department of Chemistry, College of Science, University of Basrah Basrah, Iraq *Corresponding author’s emails: zekinasser99 [AT] yahoo.com ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT--- In this paper, calcium oxide (CaO) was produced by the thermal treatment of eggshell. The doping process with silver iodide (AgI), oxygen (O), sulfur(S) and nitrogen (N) was achieved by adsorbents. The adsorption of Acid fuchsine (AF), Indigo Carmine (IC), Nigrosine (NG) and Alizarine Red S (AR) on the surface of these particles was studied. The different conditions affecting the adsorption process, such as the time of equilibrium, the primary concentration of the studied dyes, the amount of the adsorbent, the acidic function, the speed of the pruning motion and the temperature were studied. The pH stability time (5-10 minutes), IC and NG (30 minutes) and AR were (90 minutes). The effect of temperature was also studied within the range (25-45 ° C). The results showed that the adsorption capacity increased by increasing the temperature, ie the reaction is endothermic. The study showed the effect of the acidic function on the percentage of pigmentation. The percentage was increased by increasing the acidic function in the basal circles on the surfaces except for the AR dye. It decreased the percentage by increasing the acidic function. The effect of the weight of the adsorbent was studied on the percentage of adsorption.

Solid-state reaction method was opted for the preparation of bismuth tungstates (Bi2WO6) in the stoichio- metric ratio. The structural characterization related that the material has got orthorhombic symmetry. The high-energy ball milling did not show any structural change, but a reduction in grain size was observed from 100 to 34 nm after 5 h. The higher activity for the decolourization of rhodamine B (RHB) and methylene blue (MB) in the presence of UV light has been studied by employing Bi2WO6 as a catalyst. The dye degradation was observed by a decrease in the absorption spectrum and decolourization in the presence of UV irradiation. The degradation efficiency was found to be dependent on the size of the catalyst added in the dye solution, which may be due to increased surface area that increased the number of active sites for the reaction. The degradation efficiency of the unmilled and 5-h ball milled (Bi2WO6) catalyst was observed to be 32 and 90% in RHB, respectively. While in MB, 24 and 49% degradation efficiency was achieved by unmilled and 5-h ball milled (Bi2WO6) catalyst.

    May 1957 - Supplement COMMERCIAL FISHERIES REVIEW DYE-BINDING CHARACTERISTICS OF FISH-MEAL PROTEIN Part 1 - Some Preliminary Findings as to Suitable Dyes By Claude Thurston A: ABSTRACT THERE ARE REPORTS IN THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE THAT THE QUALITY OF A VEGETABLE PROTEIN CAN BE DETERMINED BY ITS DYE-BINDING CHARACTERIS- TICS. IN AN INVESTIGATION TO FIND IF A SIMILAR RELATIONSHIP EXISTS BE- TWEEN DYES AND THE PROTEIN IN FISH MEAL, MORE THAN 100 DYES WERE SCREENED AS TO THEIR SUITABILITY. EIGHT DYES WERE FOUND TO HAVE GOOD BINDING PROPERTIES. SIX OF THEM--AC1D FUCHSIN, ANILINE BLUE, BROMO- CRESOL GREEN, ALIZARIN RED S, ORANGE II, AND ORANGE G--WERE ACID DYES; AND TWO OF THEM--CONGO RED AND T ETRABROMOPHENOLBLUE--WERE BASIC DYES. IN THE USE OF THESE, FISH MEALS EXHIBITED A WIDE VARIATION IN THE EX- TENT OF DYE BINDING. SUFFICIENT DATA, HOWEVER, ARE NOT AVAILABLE AS YET TO DETERMINE THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE DYE-BINDING CHARACTERISTICS TO THE NUTRITIVE VALUE OF FISH-MEAL PROTEIN. INTRODUCTION Several of the investigations reported in the scientific literature indicate that the quality of a vegetable protein can be determined by its dye-binding characteris- tic. Loeb (1922), studyingthe process of digestion, stated that pepsin is an anion and that it combines with cations. Chap- man, Greenberg, and Schmidt (1927) show- ed, by reactions of several acid dyes with various protein solutions, that the amount of dye that was bound was proportional to thenumber of basic groups in the protein. Rawlins and Schmidt (1929) extended the investigation to include basic dyes and obtained similar results; they later (1930) used acid dyes with gelatin granules and gelatin solutions and verified their pre- vious conclusions.

Alizarin Red-S dye is one such examples. In this work, sorptive removal of Alizarin Red-S from water was investigated using Citrullus lanatus peels, in batch mode on laboratory scale. It was observed that adsorption of dye on Citrullus lanatus peels increases with increasing contact time and temperature, but decreases with increasing pH. Isothermal modeling indicated that physio- sorption occurred more as compared to chemi-sorption during adsorption of Alizarin Red-S by Citrullus lanatus peels, with qm 79.60 mg g-1. Thermodynamic and kinetic investigations revealed that this process was favourable and endothermic in nature, following pseudo- second order kinetics. Key Words: Citrullus lanatus peels, Alizarin Red-S, Adsorption, Isothermal modeling, Kinetics. INTRODUCTION Textile industries use a variety of dyeing materials for developing different colour shades. A massive amount of these dyes is wasted during processing which goes into effluents and poses problems for mankind and environmental abiotic and biotic factors by creating water pollution.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Mechanistic understanding of the adsorption and thermodynamic aspects of cationic methylene blue dye onto cellulosic olive stones biomass from wastewater Mohammad A. Al‑Ghouti* & Rana S. Al‑Absi In the current study, the mechanistic understanding of the adsorption isotherm and thermodynamic aspects of cationic methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption onto cellulosic olive stones biomass from wastewater were investigated. The batch adsorption of MB onto the olive stones (black and green olive stones) was tested at a variety of pH, dye concentrations, temperatures, and biomass particle sizes. The adsorption thermodynamics such as Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy changes were also calculated. Moreover, the desorption studies of MB from the spent olive stones were studied to explore the re‑usability of the biomasses. The results revealed that under the optimum pH of 10, the maximum MB uptake was achieved i.e. 80.2% for the green olive stones and 70.9% for the black olive stones. The green olive stones were found to be more efcient in remediating higher MB concentrations from water than the black olive stones. The highest MB removal of the green olive stones was achieved at 600 ppm of MB, while the highest MB removal of the black olive stones was observed at 50 ppm of MB. Furthermore, for almost all the concentrations studied (50–1000 ppm), the MB adsorption was the highest at the temperature of 45 °C (P value < 0.05). It was shown by the Fourier transform infrared that the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding were proposed as dominant adsorption mechanisms at basic and acidic pH, respectively.
