Silk-based microparticles for the adsorption of methylene blue: formulations, characterization, adsorption study, in silico molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates that microparticles made from silk fibroin, a protein derived from silkworm cocoons, are exceptionally effective at removing methylene blue dye from water. The silk-based particles work about 32 times better than other forms of silk and can absorb large amounts of the toxic dye. Scientists used computer simulations to understand exactly how the silk protein attracts and binds the dye molecules, providing insights for creating even better eco-friendly water treatment materials.

Optimization of the Decolorization of the Reactive Black 5 by a Laccase-like Active Cell-Free Supernatant from Coriolopsis gallica

mycolabadmin

Textile factories produce large amounts of colored wastewater containing harmful dyes like Reactive Black 5. Researchers optimized an enzyme-based treatment using laccase from a fungus called Coriolopsis gallica to remove these dyes from water. By carefully balancing enzyme concentration, pH, temperature, and a chemical booster called HBT, they achieved 82% dye removal in just 2 hours, offering a cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical treatments.

Effect of nano-TiO2 size and utilization ratio on the performance of photocatalytic concretes; self-cleaning, fresh, and hardened state properties

mycolabadmin

Scientists developed a new type of concrete that can clean itself by breaking down pollutants in water using nano-sized titanium dioxide particles and sunlight. The study tested different sizes and amounts of these nanoparticles to find the best combination for removing textile dyes from wastewater. While the larger nanoparticles worked better for photocatalytic cleaning, the smaller ones made the concrete stronger, suggesting a trade-off between cleaning ability and structural durability.
