The discharge of industrial dyes and their breakdown products are often environmentally harmful. Here, we describe a biodegradation method using Burkholderia multivorans CCA53, which exhibits a capacity to degrade azo dyes, particularly ethyl red. Under the optimized culture conditions, 100 μM ethyl red was degraded more than 99% after incubation for 8 h. Real-time PCR analysis of azoR1 and azoR2, encoding two azoreductases, revealed that transcription level of these genes is enhanced at early phase under the optimized conditions. For a more practical approach, hydrolysates were prepared from eucalyptus or Japanese cedar chips or rice straw, and rice straw hydrolysate was used as the best medium for ethyl red biodegradation. Under those conditions, ethyl red was also degraded with high efficiency (>91%). We have thus constructed a potentially economical method for the biodegradation of ethyl red.

Lipophilic azo dyes are practically water-insoluble, and their dissolution by organic solvents and surfactants is harmful to biological treatment with living cells and enzymes. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a newly synthesized nonreducing terminal chimeric isomaltomegalosaccharide (N-IMS) as a nontoxic solubilizer of four simulated lipophilic azo dye wastes for enzymatic degradation. N-IMS bearing a helical α-(1 → 4)-glucosidic segment derived from a donor substrate α-cyclodextrin was produced by a coupling reaction of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase.

The fragmentation behavior of N, N-diethylamino-substituted azobenzene derivatives is investigated by high-resolving mass spectrometry using a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. Former investigations by photodissociation as well as collision-induced dissociation experiments used to induce a loss of CH from the diethylamino group. The position of the additional proton in [M + H] ions is important due to the sequences of radical fragmentation reactions.

The photoelectrical properties of two dyes-ethyl red and carminic acid-as sensitizers of dye-sensitized solar cells were investigated in experiments herein described. In order to reveal the reason for the difference between the photoelectrical properties of the two dyes, the ground state and excited state properties of the dyes before and after adsorbed on TiO₂ were calculated via density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT). The key parameters including the light harvesting efficiency (LHE), the driving force of electron injection ( Δ G inject ) and dye regeneration ( Δ G regen ), the total dipole moment ( μ normal ), the conduction band of edge of the semiconductor ( Δ E CB ), and the excited state lifetime (τ) were investigated, which are closely related to the short-circuit current density ( J sc ) and open circuit voltage ( V oc ).

Interactions of molecules with the surface of TiO particles are of fundamental and technological importance. One example is that the adsorption density and energy of the dye molecules on TiO particles affect the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). In this work, we present measurements characterizing the adsorption of the two isomers, para-ethyl red (p-ER) and ortho-ethyl red (o-ER), of a dye molecule potentially applicable for DSSC onto TiO particles by second harmonic scattering (SHS).
