This study shows the synthesis and characterization of KYCAR complexes containing nonradioactive rhenium, 99mTc, or...

To control discoloration of dried Japanese common squid (Todarodes pacificus) product, influence of 0–1% organic salts, including sodium gluconate (Na-gluconate), sodium citrate (Na-citrate), sodium phytate (Na-phytate), sodium benzoate (Na-benzoate) and sodium tartrate (Na-tartrate), on Mailla...

SummaryBrown adipose tissue (BAT) is rich in mitochondria and plays important roles in energy expenditure, thermogenesis, and glucose homeostasis. We find that levels of mitochondrial protein succinylation and malonylation are high in BAT and subject to physiological and genetic regulation. BAT-...

BackgroundAtherosclerosis occurs as a result of a chronic inflammatory response in the arterial wall associated with an increased uptake of low-density lipoprotein by macrophages and the subsequent transformation of this lipoprotein into foam cells. It has been found that miR-188-3p can suppress...

Under conditions with or without linker molecules, the effects of acidic pH on the conformation of yeast iso-1-cytochrome c coated onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in correlation with color changes of a Cyt c-coated AuNPs solution/suspension were examined by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spe...

This study investigated the decolorization efficiency of C.I. Reactive Red 2 (RR2) in O3, O3/H2O2, O3/Fe3+, O3/H2O2/Fe3+, UV/O3, UV/O3/Fe3+, UV/O3/H2O2 and UV/O3/H2O2/Fe3+ systems at various pHs. The effective energy consumption constants and the electrical energy per order of pollutant removal ...

The organic and mineral horizons of a forest brown acid soil sampled in Belgium (Haute Ardenne, Vielsalm) were artificially contamined with a solution of 137CsCl. If the sequential extractions (CaCl2, NH4Ac, CuCl2 and HNO3, 1N) realised on a pure mineral substrate remove 40% of the total 137Cs c...

Poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA), an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) synthesized by Bacillus species, was explored to study its interaction with the basic brown 1 dye by conducting a systematic batch adsorption study as affected by two critical parameters, temperature and pH. Adsorption i...

Decolorization of spent dye baths after dyeing of nylon, silk and wool fabrics with C.I. Acid Red 249 was attempted followed by their reuse in repeated dyeing. The system comprised of a non-sulfur reducing agent, sodium borohydride, along with silver nanoparticles synthesized by plant mediation ...

The Mg/Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) with carbonate interaction and its calcined product (CLDH) were synthesized and used as adsorbents for the removal of acid brown 14 (AB 14) from aqueous solutions. Effect of various physic-chemical factors such as contact time, temperature, adsorbent dosa...

The brown macroalga Stoechospermum marginatum was tested for its ability to remove the acid dyes Acid Blue 25 (AB25), Acid Orange 7 (AO7) and Acid Black 1 (AB1) from aqueous solution. Biosorption was investigated under different conditions of pH, biomass and initial dye concentrations, temperatu...

The adsorption of acid orange II (AO7) dye from aqueous solution was examined onto untreated and chemically modified forms (treated with (i) propylamine, (ii) acidic methanol, (iii) formaldehyde and (iv) formic acid with formaldehyde) of brown alga, Stoechospermum marginatum. The adsorption was ...

In this study, a laboratory scale for the treatment of a recalcitrant and toxic synthetic wastewater containing diazo dye, acid brown 14 (AB-14) has been comparatively performed by two electro-catalytic treatment processes, namely anodic oxidation (AO) and electrocoagulation (EC) using a new bat...

The potential of a sequential anoxic–aerobic bioreactor to decolorize and degrade azo dye C.I. Acid Red 88 (AR-88) was evaluated. An up flow fixed-film column reactor (UFCR) having polyurethane foam (PUF) as immobilization support was built using a consortium based on four acclimatized bacteria...

New hybrid sorbents were synthesized from technical lignins and silica and were applied for the removal of Methylene Blue dye (MB) from aqueous solution. Kraft softwood lignins from LignoBoost (LBL) and CleanFlowBlack (CFBL) processes were used to understand the influence of molecular weight and...

Mineralization of Acid blue 29 (AB 29), an anionic azo dye, was carried out at various pHs using UV254 in the presence of H2O2 (HP) or Na2S2O8 (SPS) as oxidants. The influence of operational variables such as pH and intensity of UV light on mineralization was analyzed and their electrical effici...

The structure of the supramolecular coordination polymer (SCP), [(Ph3Sn)4Fe(CN)6], 1, consists of octahedral [Fe(CN)6]4− building blocks which are connected by the TBPY-5 configured Ph3Sn(CN…)2 fragments creating 3D-network structure that contains terminal cyanide groups. The catalytic behavior...

The disazo dye Naphthalene Black (C.I. Acid Black 1; C.I. 20470), which has wide application in analytical chemistry and histochemistry as well as in the coloration of wool, undergoes photochemical degradation in aqueous solution.
