Decolourization of tartrazine (C.I. Acid Yellow 23, AY23) in aqueous solutions has been investigated by coupling electrocoagulation and ZnO photocatalyst methods and also by a comparison between ZnO, UV, EC, UV/ZnO, UV/EC, and EC/UV/ZnO systems in the removal of AY23 as a model contaminant. Results indicated that the decolourization efficiency was in order of EC/UV/ZnO > UV/EC > EC > UV/ZnO > ZnO > UV. Combining EC with UV/ZnO can trigger the Fenton or Fenton-like reaction, which accelerates the rate of decolourization. Desired operating conditions for decolourization of 40 mg·dm-3 AY23 solution in EC/UV/ZnO process were [ZnO] 0=650 mg·dm-3, [NaCl] = 800 mg·dm-3, light intensity = 31/2 W·m-2, current density = 120 A·m-2, electrodes distance = 15 mm, pH = 6.29, stirring rate = 900 rpm and electrodes of steel 304/A1, which yielded 99.70% colour removal in 5 min of treatment time.

Echinacea purpurea (L.) is one of the important medicinal plant species. To obtain the tetraploid plants of Echinacea purpurea with improved medicinal qualities, the root tips of two true leaves seedlings were imbibed in 0.25 % (w/v) colchicine solution for 24, 48, 72, 96 and 168 h. The ploidy level of plants was determined by chromosome counting of root tip cells, and confirmed by flow cytometric analysis. Tetraploid induction occurred in seedlings treated for 24, 48 and 72 h at colchicine solution. The morphological, physiological, cytological, and phytochemical characteristics of diploid and colchicine-induced tetraploid plants were compared. Results indicated that tetraploid plants had considerable larger stomata, pollen grain, seed and flower. Moreover, chloroplast number in guard cells, amount of chlorophyll (a, b, and a + b), carotenoids as well as width and thickness of leaves were increased in tetraploids. However, stomata frequency, leaf index, plant height, and quantum efficiency of photosystem II in tetraploid were lower than diploid plants. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that leaves of the tetraploid plants had more cichoric acid (45 %) and chlorogenic acid (71 %) than diploid plants. It was concluded that morphological and physiological characteristics can be used as useful parameters for preliminary screening of putative tetraploids in this species.
