Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic phototrophs capable of achieving high cellular densities with minimal inputs. These prokaryotic organisms can grow using sunlight as energy source and carbon dioxide as carbon source what makes them promising candidates as microbial cell factories for the production of numerous compounds such as chemicals, fuels, or biocatalysts. In this study, we have successfully designed and constructed using synthetic biology approach two recombinant strains of Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 for heterologous expression of the industrially relevant Bacillus subtilis CotA laccase. One of the strains (PCC7942-NSI-CotA) was constructed through integration of the laccase gene into neutral site I of the cyanobacterial genome whilst the other (PCC7942-NSII-CotA) targeted neutral site II of the genome. Of the two strains the one with CotA laccase integrated in neutral site II (PCC7942-NSII-CotA) was superior in terms of growth rate and enzymatic activity toward typical laccase substrates: ABTS [2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)] and syringaldazine. That may suggest that two of the traditionally used neutral sites of S. elongatus PCC7942 are not equally suitable for the expression of certain transgenes. The PCC7942-NSII-CotA produced protein was capable of decolourising three classes of dyes namely: anthraquinonic-, azo-, and indigoid-type over 7 days of incubation making the strain a potentially useful microbial cell factory for the production of broad-spectrum biodegradation agent. Interestingly, presence of additional synthetic redox mediator ABTS had no effect on the degradation of these dyes.

Selenite reductase CsrF overexpressedEscherichia coliwas used as a microbial factory to produce Se(0) nanoparticles (Bio-SeNPs). The Bio-SeNPs were characterized by transmission electronic microscopy, element mapping, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrographs, Zeta-potential, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. The results indicated that Bio-SeNPs are irregular spheres with diameters from 60 to105 nm and mainly consist of Se(0), proteins and lipids. Furthermore, it exhibited maximum adsorption capacity for anionic dye (congo red) at acidic pH and cationic dyes (safranine T and methylene blue) at alkaline pH. To gain more insight, adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms and adsorption thermodynamics studies were carried out. These results showed that the adsorption capacities of congo red, safranine T and methylene blue were 1577.7, 1911.0 and 1792.2 mg/g, respectively. These adsorption processes were spontaneous and primarily physical reactions. In addition, Bio-SeNPs can be effectively reused by 200 mmol/L NaCl. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of adsorption removal dyes by Bio-SeNPs. The adsorption capacities of Bio-SeNPs for congo red, safranine T and methylene blue were 6.8%, 25.2% and 49.0% higher than that for traditional bio-based materials, respectively.Keywords:CsrF;Bio-SeNPs;anionic dye;cationic dye;adsorption

Colored cellulose textiles extensively enriched human-beings' modern lives, but the problem of dye pollution has been a long-plagued trouble and still poses an alarming threat to environment and human beings. In view of this problem, herein, multi-color antireflective nanoparticles inspired by biology were prepared using dye adsorption method. Then, it was applied in cotton inkjet printing to realize the improvement of dye utilization efficiency. Results shows that, cationic poly(styrene-butyl acrylate-vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride) (PSBV) nanoparticles exhibited high dye capacity. The dye-adsorbed nanoparticles possessed uniform spherical structure with an average size at about 90 nm and a surface potential over −30 mV. Turbiscan Lab measurement and high-speed camera system show that the dye-adsorbed nanoparticles possessed good stability and satisfactory jetting performance. Moreover, after the inkjet printing on cotton fabrics, the reflectance was significantly reduced with higher color strength in comparison to the same concentration of dye solution. Moreover, owing to the reaction between the nanoparticles and -OH groups on cotton fibers, durable patterns were obtained. This work provides a potential method on the preparation and application of dye/polymer nanoparticles in textile coloration for improved cleanliness and efficiency.

Raw Huai Flos Chrysanthemum (HFC) and modified HFC (HFC@CO) were used for the first time as a biosorbent material to remove cationic dyes Malachite green (MG) and Crystal violet (CV), and anionic dyes Sunset yellow (SY), Lemon yellow (LY), and Carmine (CM), at different temperatures (5–50 °C). The highest removal rates (R) for dye adsorption were observed at low temperature (5 °C) and room temperature (20 °C). At high (500 mg L−1) dye concentration, adsorption was completed within one minute, but the time required to reach adsorption equilibrium was longer than at the low (20 mg L−1) concentration. The experimental data fitted very well to the Langmuir model and the values of the maximum adsorption capacity for SY, LY, CM, CV, and MG, were 481.41, 507.23, 141.78 mg g−1, 526.32, and 769.23 mg L−1, respectively. The adsorption data fit well to a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

As organic dyes are a major group of water pollutants, the development of materials for removal of dyes is of great significance for the environment. Here we report a kind of magnetic metal–organic framework (MOF) for the adsorption of different kinds of anionic and cationic dyes. Magnetic NH2-MIL-101(Al) was synthesized and characterized with Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), physical property measurement system (PPMS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), a transmission electron microscope (TEM), a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurements. Adsorption isotherms and thermodynamic studies indicated that the maximum adsorption capacities of malachite green (MG) and indigo carmine (IC) were 274.4 and 135 mg g−1, respectively. The mechanisms of interaction such as electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, π–π stacking interaction, and hydrophobic interaction are discussed for the adsorption of cationic and anionic dyes onto magnetic NH2-MIL-101(Al). Also, magnetic separation in this method shortened separation time, and the magnetic material can be reused at least five times without obvious decrease in the removal efficiency. Moreover, the synthesis of the magnetic NH2-MIL-101(Al) is easy to control and the good solvent stability makes this material promising as a novel adsorbent for the adsorption and removal of dyes from aqueous solution.

To look for a way to improve the fastness properties of disperse dyes on PU fibers, six diurethane/diester tethered azo disperse dyes were prepared and applied to the dyeing of polyurethane fibers. Their detailed adsorption behaviors including the dyeing rate, build-up properties, surface-adsorbed state of dyes and colorimetric properties were investigated as well as compared with those of non-tethered azo dyes . The results showed that there were great differences in adsorption properties between the two types of dyes. The excellent build-up performance of the non-tethered dyes was caused by the crystal growth on the surface of polyurethane fibers, and the serious aggregation of dyes on the surface of fibers would alter the color shade, decrease the chroma and produce poor colorfastness properties. When the tethered dyes were applied to polyurethane fibers, owing to their larger molecular sizes, a higher temperature (120 °C) was needed to finish the dyeing process within a conventional time of 30–40 min, and the crystal growth on the surface of polyurethane fibers was obviously restricted, so that the color of dyed PU fibers became bright and the colorfastness was notably improved. With additional dye concentration, a medium color depth was obtained. It was further demonstrated that the tethering modification of azo disperse dyes to enhance the colorfastness on polyurethane fibers was feasible.

The application of chemical synthetic dyes causes serious environmental pollution and high energy consumption. Natural plant dyes have become the most promising alternative in textile printing and dyeing processing with lower carbon emission. In this work, the properties of water-soluble gardenia yellow natural dye in inkjet printing of wool fabrics were studied in detail. The results of multiple light scattering showed that the gardenia yellow dye ink had high stability. The surface tension and viscosity of the ink can be adjusted by polyol-based organic solvents to obtain a stable droplet morphology. The influence mechanism of sodium polyacrylate sizing agent and polyol solvent on color depth and contour clarity of printing pattern have been deeply studied. After tannic treatment, gardenia yellow inkjet printed wool fabric can obtain satisfactory color fastness. At the same time, gardenia yellow dye endowed wool fabrics with good antibacterial property , and the antibacterial rate against S. aureus and E. coli can exceed 95%. In this study, both inkjet printing and color fixing process are green and non-pollution, which provides an idea reference for the production of natural green antibacterial textiles.

In this paper, a starch-based flocculant (ADSt) with medium and low temperature solubility and enhanced flocculation effect was synthesized using corn starch, acrylamide, and dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride as main materials by the ethanol-alkali method and grafting method. The main mechanism of ADSt's flocculation was electrical neutralization and bridging. The flocculation performance of ADSt was verified by using it along with polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC) as coagulant/flocculant, dispersible dye (dispersible yellow RGFL), and reactive dye (active trimeric blue KN-G) to simulate dye wastewater. For the dispersed yellow water sample and active emerald blue water sample, the dosage of PAC was 40 and 35 mg/L respectively. When the dosage of ADSt was 10 mg/L with a dye content of 100 mg/L, the decolorization rates for both dyes reached up to 96.2% and 94.4% respectively. The properties of the flocs such as size and two-dimensional fractal structure were described. The prepared ADSt maintained a good flocculation effect in the pH range of 5–9 due to its excellent water solubility achieved through the ethanol-alkali preparation process, where its solubility reached 86.7% at 30°C. Overall, the preparation process for ADSt is simple, cost-effective, while providing an effective solution for treating printing and dyeing wastewater.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are attractive for the removal of industrial dyes from aqueous pollution. However, effective simultaneous removal of oppositely charged dye ions is still a challenge. We find that zirconium–metalloporphyrin mesoMOF (PCN-222/MOF-545) exhibits excellent adsorption/removal capacities for numerous anionic and cationic dyes individually and together in solution. PCN-222 is fabricated by solvothermal synthesis and characterized by powder XRD and FT-IR methods to confirm its structure. N2 adsorption/desorption indicates PCN-222 has a large pore size of 3.2 nm and a surface area of 2336 m2 g−1. The zeta potential measurement shows that PCN-222 has a slight basic isoelectric point at pH 8 with appropriate potentials of 23.5 and −13.6 mV in the range of pH 3–10. These features facilitate the dual-function of PCN-222 toward anionic and cationic dyes, or even their complexes. The results show that PCN-222 has a maximum loading efficacy of 906 mg g−1 for anionic methylene blue (MB) and 589 mg g−1 for cationic methyl orange (MO) in a single dye system. Interestingly, when MB and MO co-exist in solution, they mutually enhance the capability by 36.8% (1239 mg g−1) for MB and 73.5% (1022 mg g−1) for MO. The adsorption kinetics, isotherms, stability and reusability of PCN-222 are reported. The results reveal that no significant changes of either crystal structure or loading capacity are observed up to eight recycles during the removal of MO and MB in solution. The adsorption efficacies of eight representative dyes are presented. Compared with previously published data, the capacity of PCN-222 ranks at the top. We prepared a facile adsorption chromatography column to demonstrate the broad application potentials of PCN-222 in dye removal from aqueous pollution. Finally, we propose a push–pull mechanism to explain the mutual enhancement of adsorption in a mixture dye solution.

During the synthesis of dyes, desalination of high-salinity dye-containing waste liquor is a critical premise for high-quality, clean dye production. Conventional membrane processes, such as electrodialysis, nanofiltration and ultrafiltration, are inevitably subjected to serious membrane fouling, deteriorating the dye/salt fractionation efficacy. Integrating the technical merits of electrodialysis and pressure-driven membrane separation, we devise an electro-driven filtration process using a tight ultrafiltration membrane as alternative to conventional anion exchange membrane for rapid anion transfer, in view of dye desalination and purification. By employing a sub-4 nanometer tight ultrafiltration membrane as anion conducting membrane, the electro-driven filtration process achieves 98.15% desalination efficiency and 99.66% dye recovery for one-step fractionation of reactive dye and NaCl salt, markedly outperforming the system using commercial anion exchange membranes. Notably, the electro-driven filtration system displays a consistently high and stable fractionation performance for dyes and salts with unprecedentedly low membrane fouling through an eight-cycle continuous operation. Our results demonstrate that the electro-driven filtration process using nanoporous membranes as high-performance anion conducting membranes shows a critical potential in fractionation of organic dyes and inorganic salts, unlocking the proof of concept of nanoporous membranes in electro-driven application.

Polydopamine (PDA) microspheres, synthesized by a facile oxidation polymerization route, were evaluated as a potential adsorbent for selective adsorption and separation of organic dyes. The adsorption processes towards nine water-soluble dyes (anionic dyes: methyl orange (MO), eosin-Y (EY), eosin-B (EB), acid chrome blue K (ACBK), neutral dye: neutral red (NR), and cationic dyes: rhodamine B (RhB), malachite green (MG), methylene blue (MB), safranine T (ST)) were thoroughly investigated. The adsorption selectivity of organic dyes onto PDA microspheres was successfully applied for the separation of dyes mixtures. Various influential factors such as solution pH, temperature, and contact time were employed to ascertain the optimal condition for adsorption of representative organic dyes including MB, MG and NR. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetics models were used to fit the adsorption kinetics process. Five isothermal adsorption models (Langmuir, Dubnin–Radushkevich, Temkin, Freundlich and Harkins–Jura) were used to investigate the adsorption thermodynamics properties. The results showed that the PDA microspheres owned good selective adsorption ability towards cationic dyes. The adsorption kinetics process conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm model was more appropriate for tracing the adsorption behavior than other isotherm models. Thus, we can conclude PDA microspheres may be a high-efficiency selective adsorbent towards some cationic dyes.

A special magenta dye SCFX-AYRL with dichlorotriazine as reactive group, designed as one of supercritical trichromatic dyes, was successfully synthesized for sustainable coloration of natural fibers in supercritical fluid of carbon dioxide (SCF-CO 2 ). The products were characterized and tested by FT-IR, 1 H NMR, LC-MS, EA and Uv-Vis spectra. Moreover, Gaussian software was also employed to assist a theoretical design of the dye and its precursor, such as the optimization of structure conformations, the calculation of frontier molecular orbitals and parameters, and the prediction of characteristic absorption wavelength. The obtained results show that the molecular structure and color characteristics of the synthesized dye well met the expected theoretical design and calculations. Particularly, the powerfully excited molecular orbitals facilitated the first electron transition from the highest occupied orbital (HOMO) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) by contributing characteristic singlet absorption bands for the precursor and its target dye. Moreover, an energy gap (Δ E ) calculation between the LUMO and the HOMO was performed to predict color hue shift, and was well consistent with experimental detects. A successful application of the special dye on natural protein fibers was observed for eco-friendly coloration in SCF-CO 2 with high color strength, fixation efficiency over 90.0 %, as well as high brilliant color and fastness.
