Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This paper reviews the recent literature regarding anterior capsular staining. RECENT FINDINGS: Safety and efficacy of dyes used in facilitating visualization of the anterior capsule during phacoemulsification are compared. Advantages of using different techniques for injection of the dyes are discussed. SUMMARY: Trypan Blue and Indocyanine Green appear to be most effective in staining the anterior capsule with the highest safety profile. Injection strategies should be aimed at reducing uncontrolled dispersion especially into the vitreous.

Interfacial behavior of sulforhodamine 101 at the polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane interface studied by spectroelectrochemical techniques.

The transfer mechanism of an amphoteric rhodamine, sulforhodamine 101 (SR101), across the polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, differential voltfluorometry and potential-modulated fluorescence (PMF) spectroscopy. The voltammetric response for the ion transfer of SR101 monoanion from water to DCE was observed as the diffusion-controlled transfer process. An unusual voltammetric response was found at 0.15 V more negative than the formal transfer potential of SR101(-) (deltaW(O)phi degrees') in the cyclic voltammogram and voltfluorogram. The frequency dependence of the PMF responses confirmed the presence of the adsorption processes at negative potentials. In addition, a further transient adsorption step was uncovered at deltaW(O)phi degrees'. The interfacial mechanism of SR101 is discussed by comparing the results obtained from each technique.

Distillery wastewater treatment by the membrane-based nanofiltration and reverse osmosis processes.

A hybrid nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) pilot plant was used to remove the color and contaminants of the distillery spent wash. The feasibility of the membranes for treating wastewater from the distillery industry by varying the feed pressure (0-70 bar) and feed concentration was tested on the separation performance of thin-film composite NF and RO membranes. Color removal by NF and a high rejection of 99.80% total dissolved solids (TDS), 99.90% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 99.99% of potassium was achieved from the RO runs, by retaining a significant flux as compared to pure water flux, which shows that membranes were not affected by fouling during wastewater run. The pollutant level in permeates were below the maximum contaminant level as per the guidelines of the World Health Organization and the Central Pollution Control Board specifications for effluent discharge (less than 1,000 ppm of TDS and 500 ppm of COD).

The use of ultrasound to enhance the degradation of the Basic Green by cast iron.

The effect of pH, amount of cast iron and initial concentration on the removal ratio of Basic Green by cast iron combined with ultrasound was investigated. It was shown that the reduction of Basic Green was enhanced by ultrasound. In all combined systems, the decolorization efficiency is more than 95%, but removal ratio of CODcr decreased with the increasing pH or initial dye concentration and increased with the increase of the amount of cast iron.
