Article Abstract

A green, rapid and simple method has been proposed for the separation and sorption-spectrometric and test-determination of synthetic (Quinoline Yellow, Sunset Yellow, Tartrazine) and natural (β-Carotene, Curcumin, Carmine) dyes. Mini-column filled with polyamine-modified silica were used for the first time for this purpose. Polyhexamethylene guanidine and poly(diallyldimethylammonium) - polyamine with a quaternary ammonium base - were used as polyamines. Synthetic dyes, Carmine were quantitatively extracted by aminated silicas at pH 1-2 and 5-8. The separation of synthetic and natural dyes was achieved at the stage of their desorption. β-Carotene and Curcumin were quantitatively desorbed by ethanol, while synthetic dyes were effectively retained by the surface of aminated silicas. The separation of synthetic dyes and Carmine was carried out using 0.25 M HCl. The proposed method showed good sensitivity, selectivity and accuracy of results when determining dyes in drinks, candies and jellies.

Synthetic dyes, such as Congo red (CR), pose serious threats to human health and aquatic ecosystems because of their carcinogenicity and resistance to degradation, necessitating the development of efficient and eco-friendly remediation strategies. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via a green method using Ocimum sanctum (holy basil) leaf extract and applied for CR dye removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BBD), evaluating the influence of key parameters including pH, AgNP dosage, initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature.

Background And Aim: Synthetic dyes in the textile industry pose risks to human health and environmental safety. The current study aims to examine the efficacy of a novel esterase derived from an endophyte fungus in decolorizing diverse dyes, focusing on its production, purification, optimization, and characterization.

Results: Trichoderma afroharzianum AUMC16433, a novel fungal endophyte with esterase-producing ability, was first detected from the cladodes of Opuntia ficus indica by ITS-rRNA sequencing.

This study quantitatively evaluated the adsorption performance of natural bentonite for removing three dye classes-cationic (Basic dye: BEZACRYL RED GRL), anionic (Reactive dye: AVITERA LIGHT RED SE), and non-ionic (Disperse dye: BEMACRON BLUE HP3R) from synthetic textile wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted under varying conditions of contact time (15-90 min), adsorbent dosage (20-60 g L⁻), pH (4 and 12), and temperature (25-100 °C), with dye concentrations quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a contact time of 30 min and room temperature (25 °C), maximum removal efficiencies reached 99.

Synthesis and Optical Properties of Unsymmetric Aromatically π-Extended BODIPY.

A series of unsymmetrically substituted BODIPY dyes featuring fused benzo- or naphtho-fragments on one pyrrolic unit were synthesized from the corresponding pyrrolic precursors. The synthetic route was optimized using a modular approach based on the condensation of formylpyrroles with alkylpyrroles, enabling the identification of precursor combinations that minimize byproduct formation and improve preparative yields. The resulting benzo- and naphtho-fused BODIPYs display intense fluorescence in the red region, with emission maxima spanning 590-680 nm and fluorescence quantum yields ranging from 0.
