This research investigates the adsorption potential of four types of adsorbents produced from agro-industrial waste (grape pomace—GP, tree pruning—TP, sugarcane bagasse—SB, and eucalyptus sawdust—ES) for the uptake of thiazine...
The increasing prevalence of microplastic (MP) pollution and the labor-intensive nature of existing identification methods necessitate improved large-scale detection approaches. Nile Red (NR) fluorescence, which varies with polarity, offers a potenti...
Spalted wood is a natural material characterized by distinctive colors and patterns from wood decay fungi as they digest their substrate and leave behind colored secretions. As an art form, spalted wood was used heavily in western Europe from the 140...
Globally, insect pests adversely affect approximately 75% of the most important crops. However, the widespread use of chemical insecticides has significant drawbacks, including non-specific biological activity, toxicity to humans, detrimental effects...
This study explores the photocatalytic efficiency of Zn/Fe/TiO2 catalysts, synthesized via the wet impregnation method, for degrading the food colorings Allura Red and Tartrazine Yellow. A 22 factorial design with a central point replication guided t...
The world has recently witnessed the dire consequences of microbial infections in the form of the spread of COVID 19. Like viruses, bacterial infections too are a serious global health concern, especially because of the evolution of multidrug-resista...
Aldehyde green, a dye first obtained by reacting fuchsine with acetaldehyde in 1862, consists of, according to analytical investigations carried out on a sample of this dye deposited in the Historical Dyestuff Collection of the Technical University D...
The use of dyes as sensitizing agents to increase semiconductor activity is a strategy already adopted in the field of heterogeneous photocatalysis, but the compounds applied are noble metal-based and sometimes difficult to synthesize, which make it...
BODIPY (Boron-Dipyrromethene) dyes have emerged as versatile fluorescent probes in cellular imaging and therapeutic applications owing to their unique chemical properties, including high fluorescence quantum yield, strong extinction coefficients, and...
This perspective sets out to raise awareness about the chemical and photophysical properties of indigo, a highly distinguished colorant with an extraordinary history. Indigo, like many other dyes, was first extracted from plants at an inordinately lo...
Dyeing is a major contributor to pollution, with high concentrations of hydrolyzed dyes and electrolytes in its effluents. Recent studies suggest the possibility of dyeing cotton substrates with reactive dyes in an oil medium, reducing the need for e...
