Brief Introduction:
Basic Fuchsin, also known as basic violet 14 or C.I. Basic Violet 14, is a green crystalline solid dye derived from triphenylmethane, which is widely used for bacterial identification, dyeing of textiles, leather and printing inks. It is composed of multiple components, including pararosaniline, rosaniline and neofuchsin. Despite its important role in various applications, basic fuchsin is potentially harmful to human health and is considered a possible human carcinogen and irritant to the eyes and skin. Studies have shown that this dye can be removed from wastewater by various methods, such as using citrus peel biochar (MRBC) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB). Among them, sugarcane bagasse can effectively adsorb pollutants due to its rich hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups in the cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin structures, showing excellent removal effects. In addition, iron nanoparticles generate highly oxidative hydroxyl radicals through the Fenton reaction, which can quickly degrade the conjugated system of the dye molecule, achieving effective treatment of basic fuchsin. The experimental results showed that the adsorption mechanism of basic fuchsin on these biomasses was explained using the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the internal diffusion model, showing good fit and repeatability, demonstrating the potential of these methods in wastewater treatment.
Azo Dyes
Although it is not a classic azo dye, Basic Fuchsin is sometimes grouped with azo dyes due to its similar structure.
Triphenylmethane Dyes
Basic Fuchsin is a triphenylmethane dye, which is a class of synthetic dyes that contain a central carbon atom attached to three phenyl groups.
Xanthene Dyes
It is often classified as a xanthene dye as well due to its molecular structure.
Cationic Dyes
Since it carries a positive charge on its nitrogen atom, Basic Fuchsin is classified as a cationic dye.
Biological Stains
Basic Fuchsin is widely used in biology and histology as a stain for cell structures, hence it also belongs to the category of biological stains.
