    Gundogdu, Ali; Bozbeyoglu, Pinar; Imamoglu, Mustafa; Baltaci, Cemalettin; Duran, Celal; Bulut, Volkan N.

    A promising new activated carbon (AC) was produced from corncobs (CCs) by boric acid-based chemical activation to remove methylene blue (MB) as an organic pollutant and cadmium ions (Cd2+) as an inorganic pollutant from aqueous solutions. After the produced activated carbon (CCs-AC) was characterized, the adsorption mechanism of CCs-AC, which is one of the most interesting topics in the literature, was the primarily focus. The possible adsorption mechanisms of Cd2+ and MB on CCs-AC from aqueous solutions are discussed with respect to pH, thermodynamic values, and regeneration parameters. The results show that the adsorption of Cd2+ on CCs-AC was favorable at pH values higher than 4. In contrast, the adsorption process was almost pH-independent for MB. Variation of pH showed that the adsorption of Cd2+ on CCs-AC primarily occurs by electrostatic interaction. However, MB adsorption may also involve pi-pi dispersion forces and partial hydrogen bonding. The Cd2+ adsorbed on CCs-AC was quantitatively desorbed by HCl, whereas MB was not desorbed quantitatively by any solution. While a temperature increase has a positive effect on the adsorption of both methylene blue and Cd2+, the thermodynamic results show that MB adsorption is primarily chemisorption (Delta H of 24.28 kJ/mole), while Cd2+ adsorption is mostly physisorption (Delta H of 7.20 kJ/mole). Using Langmuir adsorption isotherms, the MB adsorption capacity of CCs-AC, which primarily has a microporous structure, was 0.88 mmol/g, while the Cd2+ adsorption capacity was 1.28 mmol/g.

    Duran, Celal; Ozdes, Duygu; Torun, Erdem

    Bazı ağır metallerin çok düşük derişimlerde bile vücuda alınımı, kan bileşiminin bozulmasına, merkezi sinir sistemi fonksiyonlarında azalmaya ve akciğer, böbrek ve karaciğer gibi organlarda hasarlara neden olabilir. Bu nedenle ağır metal iyonlarının, alıcı ortama verilmeden önce sulardan ve atık sulardan uzaklaştırılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Cd(II) iyonlarının sulardan ve atık sulardan adsorpsiyon tekniğiyle gideriminde etkili ve ucuz bir adsorban olarak kızılçam (Pinus Brutia Ten.) talaşının kullanılabilirliği değerlendirilmiştir. Adsorpsiyon deneylerinde kullanılan kızılçam talaşı fiziksel veya kimyasal herhangi bir ön işleme tabi tutulmadan doğal olarak kullanılmıştır. Kızılçam talaşı, çeşitli yöntemlerle karakterize edildikten sonra adsorpsiyon verimi üzerine başlangıç sulu çözelti pH’ı, denge süresi, adsorban miktarı ve başlangıç Cd(II) derişimi gibi deneysel faktörlerin etkileri incelenmiş ve ayrıca endüstriyel atık sularda Cd(II) iyonlarıyla birlikte bulunabilecek bazı tuzların etkileri araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlardan optimum pH 6.0 ve denge süresi 240 dk olarak belirlenmiştir. Mekanizma hakkında fikir edinmek için elde edilen verilere izoterm modelleri (Langmuir ve Freundlich) uygulanmıştır. Kızılçam talaşının maksimum adsorpsiyon kapasitesi Langmuir izoterm modeli kullanılarak 11.88 mg g-1 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak kızılçam talaşının atık sulardan Cd(II) iyonlarının uzaklaştırılmasında etkili bir adsorban olarak kullanılabileceği ortaya konulmuştur.

    Ozdes, Duygu; Tilki, Nida; Seker, Serdal; Duran, Celal

    In the present research, brewed tea waste (BTW) was utilized as a green, low-priced, and abundant adsorbent for separation/preconcentration of Cd(II) ions through solid-phase extraction method from water and foods for the first time. BTW was applied as a natural adsorbent, without using any chelating agent to bind Cd(II) ions or any chemical reagent for its modification. A three-layer artificial neural network model using backpropagation algorithm was utilized to explicate a prediction model for the extraction performance of Cd(II) ions by selecting the input parameters as solution pH, quantity of BTW, sample volume, eluent concentration and volume, and equilibrium time for desorption. The preconcentration factor, relative standard deviation, and detection limit were attained as 100, 3.03%, and 0.56 µg L−1, respectively. It was decided that the Langmuir isotherm model is acceptable to characterize the retention of Cd(II) ions on BTW. This result pointed out that the active binding sites on the BTW surface are homogeneously distributed. Adsorption capacity of BTW was achieved as 41.5 mg g−1 which is higher than several expensive and difficult-to-prepare adsorbents. Adsorption kinetics was elucidated by pseudo-second order kinetic model. After confirmed the accuracy of the method with spike/recovery studies, it was employed for Cd(II) determination in water (stream and sea water) and food (eggplant, lettuce, parsley, apple, and apricot) samples with high accuracy. The inferences of the study proved that the BTW offers a magnificent application prospect in the extraction of Cd(II) ions.

    Ozdes, Duygu; Duran, Celal

    The present research describes the successful preparation of melon peel biochar modified with CoFe2O4 (MPBC/CoFe2O4) followed by its usage as a new sorbent to separate, preconcentrate, and determine the toxic heavy metal ions by magnetic solid-phase extraction. The metal ion desorption was performed by 0.1 M HCl solution with a volume of 5.0 mL. Flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was utilized for detection of the analyte levels. SEM–EDX, TEM, XRD, and FTIR techniques were carried out to illuminate the structure of MPBC/CoFe2O4. The fundamental variables affecting the adsorption and elution efficiencies of the analyte ions including solution pH, MPBC/CoFe2O4 amount, type and concentration of eluent, adsorption and desorption equilibrium time, and sample volume were optimized. The detection limits were calculated as 0.41, 1.82, and 3.16 µg L−1 for Cu2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ ions, respectively, with the relative standard deviation of lower than 4.2%. There were no substantial interference effects on the analyte ion recovery due to the presence of foreign ions at high levels. Five minutes of contact time was adequate to attain the adsorption equilibrium. The adsorption capacity of MPBC/CoFe2O4 was obtained as 106.4, 65.4, and 188.7 mg g−1 for Cu2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ ions, respectively, by utilizing Langmuir isotherm model. The pseudo-second order model is favorable to identify the adsorption kinetics. The method was validated by spike/recovery test, and then, it was successfully implemented to determine the aforementioned analyte levels in sea and stream water, pepper, black cabbage, eggplant, and tomato samples.

    Adsorption Of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution with Sulfuric Acid Activated Corn Cobs: Equilibrium, Kinetics, and Thermodynamics Assessment

    Baltaci, Cemalettin; Gundogdu, Ali; Duran, Celal; Bozbeyoglu, Pinar

    Three adsorbents with different characteristics were produced in this study by activation of sulfuric acid with different concentrations, from corn (Zea mays L.) cobs, which is an agricultural waste by-product resulting from harvesting. After characterization by the parameters such as Boehm titration, determination of pH-pHpzc, and methylene blue – iodine number, and IR analysis, their methylene blue adsorption potentials from aqueous medium were investigated based on equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamics evaluations. This study aims to examine the effects of relatively dilute and concentrated acids on the activation process and to gain an economic value to waste materials through the production of a new adsorbent. It was observed that the initial solution pH did not have a significant effect on the adsorption efficiency. The adsorption process reached the equilibrium at the end of the first 120 minutes, and the kinetic data fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Langmuir adsorption capacity (295.5 mg/g) of the adsorbent produced by activating with 50% sulfuric acid was found higher than those produced with 75% and 98% acids. An increase in ambient temperature effected the adsorption positively. As a result, in this study, very low-cost adsorbents were produced from the waste by-product corn cobs, and a new approach was proposed for cleaning wastewater containing dyestuffs.

    Imamoglu, Mustafa; Ozturk, Asuman; Aydın, Şeyma; Manzak, Aynur; Gündoğdu, Ali; Duran, Celal

    Hazelnut husk (HH), an agricultural waste, was converted to carbonaceous material by chemical activation using potassium acetate. The produced activated carbon (KAHHAC) was characterized by FTIR, SEM, N2 adsorption–desorption experiments, CHN elemental analysis, and determination of moisture, ash, and point of zero charge. KAHHAC was used for the batch adsorption of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Optimum pH and contact time were found to be 5.0 and 240 minutes, respectively. The adsorption equilibrium data were described well by the Langmuir equation providing 105.3 mg g−1 Cu(II) adsorption capacity. The pseudo-second-order model successfully described the kinetic of Cu(II) adsorption by KAHHAC. The adsorbed Cu(II) onto KAHHAC was completely desorbed by 0.5 M nitric acid. In conclusion, HH activated carbon (AC) produced by the potassium acetate activation method is a very useful and efficient sorbent material for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution.

    In this work, it was investigated the usability of artificial bee colony (ABC) and genetic algorithm (GA) in modeling adsorption of Co(II) onto drinking water treatment sludge (DWTS). DWTS, obtained as inevitable byproduct at the end of drinking water treatment stages, was used as an adsorbent without any physical or chemical pre-treatment in the adsorption experiments. Firstly, DWTS was characterized employing various analytical procedures such as elemental, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, XRD, XRF and TGA/DTA analysis. Then, adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch system and DWTS's Co(II) removal potential was modelled via ABC and GA methods considering the effects of certain experimental parameters (initial pH, contact time, initial Co(II) concentration, DWTS dosage) called as the input parameters. The accuracy of ABC and GA method was determined and these methods were applied to four different functions: quadratic, exponential, linear and power. Some statistical indices (sum square error, root mean square error, mean absolute error, average relative error, and determination coefficient) were used to evaluate the performance of these models. The ABC and GA method with quadratic forms obtained better prediction. As a result, it was shown ABC and GA can be used optimization of the regression function coefficients in modeling adsorption experiments.

After characterization of RCS by using several techniques, the effects of various experimental parameters such as initial pH of aqueous solution, contact time, initial Cu(II) concentration, RCS concentration, temperature, and electrolyte concentration were studied upon the adsorption process. The desorption conditions of Cu(II) ions from the loaded RCS were also evaluated. Maximum Cu(II) adsorption was found to occur at pH 6.0 and the equilibrium was established after 60 min of contact time. The adsorption isotherms were described by means of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin Radushkevich models. The adsorption kinetics were analyzed using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models and the adsorption data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic parameters such as the Gibbs free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and entropy (ΔS) changes were also evaluated and it has been found that the adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic in the temperature range of 278-313 K.

    The natural illitic clay mineral (NICM) has been used as a low cost and highly effective adsorbent in the removal of a toxic cationic dye, methylene blue (MB), from aqueous solution by a batch adsorption technique. The effects of experimental parameters such as initial pH of the aqueous solution, contact time, initial MB concentration, adsorbent concentration, ionic strength, and temperature were studied in detail upon the adsorption process. The process was found to be independent of initial solution pH and the adequate equilibrium time for the adsorption of MB onto NICM was only 60 m. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models and showed a good fit with both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The monolayer adsorption capacity of NICM was found to be 24.87 mg g-1 by using Langmuir isotherm model. The kinetics of the adsorption were tested using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models. The results showed that the adsorption of MB onto NICM proceeds according to the pseudo-second-order model.
