Objective: The objective of this study was to optimize high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of acid orange 7 (AO7) and sudan II (SII) in blusher product based on response surface methodology using box behnken design (BBD) approach. Methods: Some factors responsible for HPLC separation including column temperature, mobile phase composition, flow rate were optimized using BBD. The responses evaluated were peak area, retention time, and tailing factor. AO7 and SII in blusher product has different properties, therefore both analytes were analysed using C18 column (Thermo Synergy Gold 250 mm x 4.6 mm i.d.,5 µm) using Shimadzu LC 20AD chromatograph equipped with photo-diode array (PDA) detector at 300-650 nm. The mobile phase used was acetonitrile-water (1:1 v/v), and acetonitrile composition was optimized at 35-50% for separation AO7 (ACN1), and 80-90% for SII (ACN2), delivered at the flow rate of 0.9–1 ml/min, using column temperature at 30-40 °C. Results: BBD showed that separation of AO7 was influenced by the concentration of ACN1, flow rate and column temperature. These factors affected retention time, peak area, and tailing factor with peak area was the most significant. Tailing factor was not significantly affected by each factor, and retention time was slightly effected. Otherwise, Sudan II was affected by all these factors except ACN1. The optimal condition obtained based BBD was ACN1 43%, ACN2 90%, the flow rate of 0.9 ml/min and a column temperature of 40 °C. Conclusion: BBD can be used to get optimum condition for analysis of AO7 and SII in blusher product.

The concept of storing energy in TiO2when it was illuminated with light and using the catalyst when there was no light was tested for the first time. Ni(OH)2was incorporated into TiO2for the energy storage purpose. Ni(OH)2was subjected to three different temperatures (300 – 500°C) before the incorporation. NiO/TiO2bilayer films were prepared with spin-coating method. The films were tested for its electrochemical and photoelectrochemical properties in 1 M NaOH. The NiO/TiO2 film prepared with Ni(OH)2calcined at 300°C showed energy storage potential. The catalysts were then investigated for their catalytic activity in the photocatalytic degradation of acid orange 7 (AO7). The experiments were carried out in a batch reactor containing 500 ml of 20 ppm AO7 and 0.2 g NiO/TiO2bilayer film. The reaction were carried out under UV illumination for 2 h before continuing without the illumination (dark condition) for another 2 h. NiO/TiO2showed photcatalytic properties even without illumination implying that the energy stored during the illumination drove the photocatalytic reaction.

Cationic paper was prepared by reaction of paper with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride in aqueous suspension, and tested as low-cost adsorbent for wastewater treatment. The experimental results revealed that anionic dyes (Acid Orange 7, Acid Red 18, and Acid Blue 92) were adsorbed on the cationic paper nicely. The maximum amount of dye Acid Orange 7 adsorbed on cationic paper was 337.2 mg/g in experimental conditions. The effects of initial dye concentration, temperature, and initial pH of dye solution on adsorption capacity of cationic paper were studied. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were applied to describe the kinetic data. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models were used to describe adsorption equilibrium. The thermodynamic data indicated that the adsorption process of dye on cationic paper occurred spontaneously.

Abstract Monoclinic BiVO4 photocatalyst films decorated on glass substrates were successfully fabricated via a dip-coating technique with different annealing temperatures of 400 °C, 450 °C, 500°C, and 550 °C. All of the physical and chemical properties of as-prepared BiVO4 photocatalyst film samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra techniques. The results revealed that the as-prepared BiVO4 photocatalyst film samples retained a monoclinic phase with an average particle size of about 50 – 100 nm. Moreover, the BiVO4 photocatalyst film samples showed a strong photoabsorption edge in the range of visible light with the band gap energy of 2.46 eV. The photocatalytic activities of all the film samples were tested by the degradation of model acid orange 7 under visible light irradiation. The BiVO4 photocatalyst film sample annealed at a temperature of 500 °C showed the highest photoactivity efficiency compared with other film samples, reaching up to 51%within 180 min. In addition, the stability and reusability of BiVO4 photocatalyst film sample made with an annealing temperature of 500 °C did not show loss of photodegradation efficiency of acid orange 7 after ten recycles. A likely mechanism of the photocatalytic process was established by trapping experiments, indicating that the hydroxyl radical scavenger species can be considered to play a key role for acid orange 7 degradation under visible light irradiation.
