A simple, economical and green methodology has been developed for the adsorption of malachite green using cellulose powder as the adsorbent. Batch experimental procedures were conducted to investigate the adsorption ability of this bio-polymer to remove malachite green from aqueous medium. The adsorbed dye on cellulose was characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The various analytical parameters such as the effect of contact time, pH, temperature, etc. were optimized. The adsorption was efficient at a neutral pH (7.2) and both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models showed good fit into the experimental data. The adsorption kinetics indicated that the adsorption proceeds according to pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption of malachite green was found to be exothermic and it was accompanied by decrease in the entropy. Column studies were performed and the regeneration of the adsorbent was done easily using environmentally benign polyethylene glycol-400.

Accurate and efficient determination of malachite green (MG) in aquaculture is crucial for ensuring environment and food safety. Herein, we present a dual-response fluorescence probe based on an Ag/PMMA/Eu nanocomposite for the sensitive detection of MG with low concentration and single droplet. The luminescence properties of the Ag/PMMA/Eu nanocomposite and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect between Eu and MG are significantly improved due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect.

Article Synopsis
- Effluent from the textile industry, particularly dye wastewater like malachite green, poses significant environmental risks, leading to increased research into sustainable dye removal methods.
- A hydrogel composite was developed using black liquor from corncobs and sodium alginate, achieving optimal dye adsorption at a 1:4 weight ratio, with a capacity of 650 mg/g for a dye concentration of 1500 mg/L.
- Characterization techniques confirmed high dye removal efficiencies (up to 95.54%) for both the black liquor/sodium alginate and alkaline lignin/sodium alginate hydrogels, with the adsorption kinetics fitting the pseudo-second-order model and a strong correlation to the Langmuir isotherm.

Cancer diagnostics often faces challenges, such as invasiveness, high costs, and limited sensitivity for early detection, emphasizing the need for improved approaches. We present a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based platform leveraging inverted pyramid SU-8 nanostructured substrates fabricated via nanoimprint lithography. These substrates, characterized by sharp apices and edges, are further functionalized with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), enabling the uniform self-assembly of AuNPs to create a highly favorable configuration for enhanced SERS analysis.
