Paraffin wax with melting temperature of 75°C was used as the shell material. In the experiment, the aqueous solution (W) of Azur B as the core material was dispersed in the melted paraffin wax (O) to form the (W/O) emulsion and then, the (W/O) emulsion was dispersed in the silicon oil (O’) as the continuous phase to form the (W/O)/O’ emulsion at 85°C. After formation of the (W/O)/O’ emulsion, the microcapsules were prepared by cooling the (W/O)/O’ emulsion to 50°C. The microcapsules were prepared by changing the concentration of oil soluble surfactant in the (W/O) emulsion and the volume of the (W/O) emulsion in the (W/O)/O’ emulsion. The microencapsulation efficiency increased with the concentration of oil soluble surfactant and finally became 100% under the optimum conditions. Furthermore, the microcapsules were melted down at temperature of 85°C to reveal the sharp thermal responsibility and to release the aqueous solution of Azur B. As a result, it was found that the microcapsules were able to be applied to the amplification detector of plant DNA by utilizing the reaction between DNA and Azur B.展开更多

BC was modi ed by acid, alkali, distilled water, and calcination to check their changes in characterization and e ciency on decolorization of Azure B. Among three modi ed catalysts, maximum decolorization was obtained by acid-modi ed BC (AMBC) catalyst due to the highest removal of impurities, comparatively. The characterization of AMBC was done by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray di raction spectroscopy which show the presence of metal ion. The BET surface area, pore volume, pore size, and density of AMBC were calculated to be 79.402 m 2 /g, 0.0608 m 3 /g, 0.00306 nm, and 16 g/cm 3 , respectively. The highest decolorization of 97.59% was achieved only in 10 min using AMBC at optimized calcination of 100 °C and 3 h of aging. AMBC was considered as the main catalyst for optimizing the di erent process parameters. Optimized conditions were obtained: pH 2, 0.2 mL of H 2 O 2 , catalyst dose 0.3 g, room temperature (30 °C), and stirring speed 400 r/min. The catalyst has showed excellent stability and reusability. It could remove more than 85% of color even after four cycles of run and less than negligible leaching of iron. AMBC has good recycling ability among other modi ed catalysts. To check the selectivity of catalyst, di erent dyes such as Congo red and mixed dye (mixture of Azure B and Congo red) decolorization were studied. In the present work, kinetic study was also carried out and a three-stage decolorization process was found.展开更多

The electrolytic solution consisted of 2.5 mmol dm(-3) azure B, 0.5 mol dm(-3) NaCl and 0.2 mol dm(-3) NaH2PO4 at the pH range of 2.0 to 11.0. The in situ visible spectrum during electrolysis of azure B shows that the intensity at 740 nm peak increases with increasing numbers of potential cycles, which is attributable to the formation of poly(azure B). The wavelength of its corresponding absorption peak is 98 nm longer than that of azure B. The polymerization rate is strongly affected by pH values. The anodic peak potential and cathodic peak potential of the poly(azure B) in a solution of pH 3.0 are not affected by increasing the scan rate from 25 to 600 mV s(-1). Poly(azure B) has good electrochemical reversibility and fast charge transfer characteristic in the pH range of 2.0 and 11.0. The conductivity of poly(azure B) is 1.5 x 10(-4) S cm(-1) According to the differences between FTIR spectra of poly(azure B) and azure B, an electrochemical polymerization mechanism of azure B is proposed in this paper.展开更多

The optimum conditions for the coelectrodeposition are that the pH value and the temperature of the electrolytic solution are controlled at 5.57 and 30 degreesC, respectively, and the scan potential range is set between -0.25 and 1.10 V (versus SCE). The copolymerization rate of aniline and azure B is about 3 times larger than that of aniline in the absence of azure B. The copolymerization of aniline and azure B was verified from the results of visible spectra during electrolysis, FTIR spectra and the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of the polymers. The in situ visible spectrum for the electrolysis of the solution containing aniline and azure B is different from that of the respective aniline and azure B. The FTIR spectrum of the copolymer is not a superposition of that of polyaniline and poly(azure B). The AFM image of the copolymer is different from those of polyaniline and poly(azure B) and is not a mixture of individual polymers. The conductivity of the copolymer synthesized at pH 5.57 is four orders of magnitude higher than that of polyaniline synthesized under the same conditions, but in the absence of azure B. The electrochemical properties of the copolymer are mainly attributed to polyaniline, but the copolymer has a better electrochemical reversibility and a much faster charge transfer than those of polyaniline.展开更多

MZS 10 strain, the cultivation medium and decolorization mechanism of the isolate were investigated. The decolorization was discovered to be dependent on cell density of the isolate and reached 93.55% （0.04 g/L） after 14 hr of cultivation in a 5 L stirred-tank fermenter at 2.0 g/L yeast extract and 6.0 g/L soluble starch and a small amount of mineral salts. The decolorization metabolites were identified with ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy （UPLC-MS）. A mechanism for decolorization of Azure B was proposed as follows： the C=N in Azure B was initially reduced to -NH by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate （NADPH）-dependent quinone dehydrogenase, and then the -NH further combined with -OH derived from glucose to form a stable and colorless compound through a dehydration reaction. The phytotoxicity was evaluated for both Azure B and its related derivatives produced by Bacillus sp. MZS 10 decolorization, indicating that the decolorization metabolites were less toxic than original dye. The decolorization efficiency and mechanism shown by Bacillus sp. MZS10 provided insight on its potential application for the bioremediation of the dye Azure B.展开更多
