  • Factors Affecting the Adsorption of Some Ionic Dyes on the Surface of Modify Cao from Eggshell
    Asian Journal of Applied Sciences (ISSN: 2321 – 0893) Volume 07 – Issue 01, February 2019 Factors Affecting the Adsorption of Some Ionic Dyes on the Surface of Modify CaO from Eggshell Ibtighaa K. 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.

  • Commercial Fisheries Review
    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.

    457 Observations on a highly specific method for the histochemical detection of sulphated mucopolysaccharides, and its possible mechanisms By I. D. HEATH (From the Department of Anatomy, University of St. Andrews, Queen's College, Dundee. Present address: General Hospital, Nottingham) With 3 plates (figs, i to 3) Summary Whereas basic dyes in aqueous solutions stain chromatin, all mucins, mast cells, the ground substance of cartilage, and epidermis, it has been shown that a 0-03 % solution of basic dye in 5% aluminium sulphate produces a highly specific staining reaction for sulphated mucopolysaccharides. The best dyes are nuclear fast red (Herzberg) and methylene blue. Acid dyes in solutions of aluminium salts are induced to stain the ground substance of cartilage. These observations have been confirmed in a num- ber of species. Other metallic ions have similar properties and the use of green and purple chromic salts indicate that co-ordination plays a part in the reaction. Methylation, saponification, and sulphation experiments show that the sulphate group is essential. This has been confirmed by using pure chemical substances in gelatin models. Oxidation of keratin with performic acid, which produces sulphonic groups, causes hair (previously negative) to react. From this it is suggested that sul- phonic groups may also react, and that the reactive groups need not be attached to mucopolysaccharides. It is further suggested that the specificity of sulphated muco- polysaccharides is due to the fact that they are the only substances present in the tis- sues with a sufficient concentration of sulphate groups. Experiments with solochrome azurine show that the aluminium is attached to all tissue elements irrespective of their nature.

Sudan IV is commonly used to stain fats, oils, suberin, and cut­ in. Materials stained in this dye are usually mounted temporarily in glycerine and are seldom kept as permanent slides. This may be due to the fact that balsam, clarite or similar mounting media, cannot be used to make permanent slides of preparations stained in Sudan IV. The dye is immediately removed by the xylene or toulene solvent of these media, leaving the preparations colorless.

The influence of contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, initial ARS concentration and temperature was studied. Optimum values were: pH = 2.0, contact time = 90 min, adsorbent dosage = 8.0 g/L. Removal of ARS under these conditions was 93.2%. Adsorption data at 25.0 ◦C and 90 min contact time were fitted to the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. R2 values were 0.9943 and 0.9662, respectively. Raising the temperature to 50.0 ◦C had no effect on ARS removal. Free wool and wool loaded with ARS were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). ARS loaded wool was used as adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI) from industrial wastewater. ARS adsorbed on wool underwent oxidation, accompanied by a simultaneous reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The results hold promise for wool as adsorbent of organic pollutants from wastewater, in addition to substantial self-regeneration through reduction of toxic Cr(VI) to Cr(III).

  • Osteogenic and Adipogenic Differentiation of Human
    Application Note 24 Osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells Jonathan Sheard 1,2, Ioannis Azoidis2, Darius Widera2 1Sheard BioTech Ltd, 2Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine Group, University of Reading, UK INTRODUCTION Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that are able to give rise to bone, cartilage and fat cells [1]. Since their discovery, differentiation of MSCs has been traditionally conducted on a flat two-dimensional (2D) glass or polystyrene surface. In addition to lacking the three-dimensional extracellular matrix, 2D cell culture is known to result in unnatural cell polarity and morphology. Moreover, MSCs are known to sensitively respond to topological and mechanical cues, and thus differentiation in 3D can be considered more physiological than under 2D conditions. Indeed, modulated osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation properties of MSCs have been reported [3, 4, 5]. Delivery of bone forming cells within a known and controlled 3D scaffold may help towards regenerating bone fractures or critical size defects [6, 7]. Recently, we reported successful culture expansion of MSCs within three dimensional nanofibrillar cellulose, GrowDex® [8, Application note AN 022]. Here, we describe osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of human MSCs embedded within GrowDex in 24-well tissue culture inserts.
