Investigation of the removal kinetics, thermodynamics and adsorption mechanism of anionic textile dye, , with powder pumice, a sustainable adsorbent from waste water.

Excessive growth and abnormal use of dyes and water in the textile industry cause serious environmental problems, especially with excessive pollution of water bodies. Adsorption is an attractive, feasible, low-cost, highly efficient and sustainable technique in terms of green chemistry for the removal of pollutants from water. This study aims to investigate the removal kinetics, thermodynamics and adsorption mechanism of Remazol Red RB, which was chosen as a representative anionic reactive dye, from synthetic wastewater using powdered pumice, taking into account various experimental parameters such as initial dye concentration, adsorption time, temperature and pH.

Adsorption of textile dyes from aqueous solutions onto clay: Kinetic modelling and equilibrium isotherm analysis.

The commercial activated carbon commonly uses to reduce of dye amount in the textile industry effluents. In this study has focused on the use of a natural clay sample as low cost but potential adsorbent. For this purpose the adsorption of commercial textile dyes, Astrazon Red FBL and Astrazon Blue FGRL, onto clay was investigated.

In Vitro Transcriptome Analysis of Cobalt Boride Nanoparticles on Human Pulmonary Alveolar Cells.

Nanobiotechnology influences many different areas, including the medical, food, energy, clothing, and cosmetics industries. Considering the wide usage of nanomaterials, it is necessary to investigate the toxicity potentials of specific nanosized molecules. Boron-containing nanoparticles (NPs) are attracting much interest from scientists due to their unique physicochemical properties.

Molecular Genetics and Cytotoxic Responses to Titanium Diboride and Zinc Borate Nanoparticles on Cultured Human Primary Alveolar Epithelial Cells.

Titanium diboride (TiB) and zinc borate (ZnBO) have been utilized in wide spectrum industrial areas because of their favorable properties such as a high melting point, good wear resistance, high hardness and thermal conductivity. On the other hand, the biomedical potentials of TiB and ZnBO are still unknown because there is no comprehensive analysis that uncovers their biocompatibility features. Thus, the toxicogenomic properties of TiB and ZnBO nanoparticles (NPs) were investigated on human primary alveolar epithelial cell cultures (HPAEpiC) by using different cell viability assays and microarray analyses.

Safety Assessments of Nickel Boride Nanoparticles on the Human Pulmonary Alveolar Cells by Using Cell Viability and Gene Expression Analyses.

Nickel boride is generally used in the steel industry as a melting accelerator due to its feature of creating a protective and stable attribute at high temperatures. It is also used to improve the hardenability of the steel with boron addition in the production. Thus, safety studies and biocompatibility analysis of nickel boride should be performed comprehensively to understand the limitations of use in various areas.

Microarray assisted toxicological investigations of boron carbide nanoparticles on human primary alveolar epithelial cells.

It is important to understand the adverse effects of nanoparticles on human health and to prepare risk reports for widely used nanoscale materials. Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxicity evaluation of BC nanoparticles were performed on HPAEpiC since, first encounter with nanoparticles would generally happen through lung by inhaling chemicals. BC nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical vapor deposition techniques and characterized by using transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray crystallography (XRD).

Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxicity of boron nitride nanoparticles: emphasis on toxicogenomics.

Nanotechnology is increasingly developing area including more than 700 commercial products such as clothing, food preparation, cosmetics, mechanics, electronics and also health industry. People generally contact with nanoparticles by inhaling from air. Thus, it is becoming important issue to understand harmful effects of nanoparticles on human health and prepare risk reports for common nano-sized materials.

Toxicogenomic responses of human alveolar epithelial cells to tungsten boride nanoparticles.

During the recent years, microarray analysis of gene expression has become an inevitable tool for exploring toxicity of drugs and other chemicals on biological systems. Therefore, toxicogenomics is considered as a fruitful area for searching cellular pathways and mechanisms including cancer, immunological diseases, environmental responses, gene-gene interactions and chemical toxicity. In this work, we examined toxic effects of Tungsten Borides NPs on gene expression profiling of the human lung alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiC).

Thermodynamics and kinetic studies of biosorption of a basic dye from aqueous solution using green algae Ulothrix sp.

This study addresses removal of a basic dye, methylene blue, from aqueous solutions by using dried Ulothrix sp. biomass as biosorbent. The effects of the initial dye concentration, contact time, temperature, solution equilibrium pH, biosorbent dosage, and mixing rate on biosorption of the dye have been investigated.
