• Description: Basic red 46 is a basic dye that can be used in the treatment of wastewater. It is cationic and has a high affinity for nitrogen atoms, which are often found in organic compounds. It has been shown to exhibit good stability while adsorbing to phosphorus pentoxide at pH > 10. Basic red 46 also has the ability to bind to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products when present in an experimental model. The mechanism of this binding is still not well understood, but it may occur through adsorption or by chemical reactions with the DNA bases. Basic red 46's adsorption properties have been studied using surface methodology, which revealed that its kinetic energy was greater than that of other dyes.
