    Emel Baki Kahveci

    Dünya genelinde gıda ve tarım sektörlerinde üretim süreçleri sonucunda önemli miktarda yan ürün ve atık oluşmaktadır. Gelişmiş ülkelerde bu atıklar çeşitli geri kazanım ve değerlendirme yöntemleriyle ekonomik değere dönüştürülürken, Türkiye'de bu uygulamalar endüstriyel ölçeğe ulaşamamıştır. Bu çalışmada, tarımsal faaliyetler sonucu atık bir yan ürün olarak ortaya çıkan kızılcık (Cornus mas L.) çekirdeğinden, 1:1 oranında ZnCl₂ kimyasal aktivasyonu uygulanarak aktif karbon (KAC) üretilmiştir. Elde edilen aktif karbon, çevre dostu ve biyobozunur polimer olan polivinil alkol (PVA) ile kompozit hâle getirilmiş ve elektro-eğirme yöntemiyle AC/PVA nanofiberler üretilmiştir. KAC, saf PVA nanofiber ve AC/PVA nanofiber adsorbanların karakterizasyonu için BET yüzey alanı, SEM–EDS, FT-IR, XRD ve DSC analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. KAC için BET özgül yüzey alanı 1025.7 m²/g olarak belirlenmiş ve bu değer biyokütle kökenli aktif karbonlar için literatürde raporlanan yüksek yüzey alanlarıyla uyum göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, metal iyonuna ve adsorban yapısına bağlı olarak adsorpsiyon kapasitelerinin önemli ölçüde değiştiğini göstermiştir. KAC adsorbanı üzerinde en yüksek Qmax değeri Pb(II) iyonu için 110.557 mg/g, Cu(II) için 84.231 mg/g ve Cr(VI) için 87.234 mg/g olarak belirlenmiştir. Cd (II) için en yüksek Qmax değeri ise AC/PVA nanofiber üzerinde 48.053 mg/g olarak bulunmuştur. Kinetik analiz verilerinin yalancı ikinci mertebe kinetik modele daha iyi uyduğunu, izoterm analizlerinde ise deneysel verilerin doğrusal olmayan Langmuir izoterm modeli ile daha yüksek uyum sağladığını göstermiştir. Bu bulgular, kızılcık çekirdeğinden elde edilen aktif karbon ve PVA ve AC/PVA nanofiberlerin ağır metal giderimi için etkili, sürdürülebilir ve çevre dostu adsorbanlar olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

    Gülen, Jale; Karpuz, Ömer

    The present study displays the adsorption characteristics of dichloro phenoxy acetic acid (2.4-D) on biomass-based peanut shell (BPC) carbon. Experiments were conducted by varying some parameters like concentration, pH, and temperature. 2,4-D adsorption uptake was increased from 0.504 to 3.826 mg/g with rising concentration from 1 µg/mL to 5 µg/mL and giving the highest adsorption at acidic pH. 1.605 mg/g uptake was obtained at pH 2.7. The data were in good harmony with Langmuir, Freundlic, Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR), and Generalized isotherms. The monolayer adsorption capacity was found as 42.62 ± 0.3257 mg/g. The kinetic was governed by the first-order kinetic. Various kinetic models were employed and particle diffusion was predominated for 2,4-D adsorption. Thermodynamics were explained in detail. The mean adsorption energy (E) was shown by the physical sorption, and Gibbs energy was the indicator of the spontaneous nature of the adsorption. Standard enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs values were recorded as 5.064 ± 139.84, 18.849 ± 0.148, and 0,7414 ± 0.0943 J/mol. The results showed that BPC was an eco-friendly and cost-effective material.

    Enhanced cationic dye adsorption using Stenotrophomonas indicatrix -modified MnFe2O4: performance evaluation and adsorption mechanism

    Ozdes, Duygu; Dede, Alper; Turfan, Fatma Asya; Seker, Serdal

    In this study, MnFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles were modified with the Stenotrophomonas indicatrix bacteria for the first time in the literature to develop an effective and novel bio-adsorbent for the remediation of toxic cationic dyes, specifically Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and Methylene Blue (MB), from contaminated aqueous media. MnFe2O4 and bacteria-loaded MnFe2O4 were thoroughly characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SEM-EDX analyses. XRD results confirmed that the cubic spinel structure of MnFe2O4 was preserved after bacterial modification, while FTIR spectra evidenced the successful incorporation of biological functional groups, including –NH, –OH, amide, and phosphate moieties, onto the nanoparticle surface. Adsorption performance of the dyes was evaluated in terms of parameters including aqueous solution pH, equilibrium time, bacteria-loaded MnFe2O4 dosage, and initial R6G and MB concentration. After investigating the effect of salt on adsorption efficiency, the applicability of the proposed adsorbent was assessed using real water samples. According to the experimental results, the optimum pH and equilibrium period for the uptake of both dyes were determined to be 8.0 and 60 min, respectively. Kinetic analyses showed that the pseudo-second order kinetic model exhibited a superior fit in representing the adsorption rates of both dyes, while isotherm studies indicated that both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models fit the experimental data well. While the adsorption capacities of pure MnFe2O4 for MB and R6G were 19.5 mg g− 1 and 15.3 mg g− 1, respectively, these values reached 67.6 mg g− 1 and 59.5 mg g− 1 for the bacteria-loaded MnFe2O4. The obtained data revealed that bacterial modification significantly increased the adsorption capacity of MnFe2O4, suggesting that the developed bio-adsorbent stands out as an effective and promising candidate for the remediation of dye-contaminated effluents.

    Ozdes, Duygu; Ozeken, Sengul Tugba; Top, Yener; Kalkisim, Ozgun; Duran, Celal

    A novel and efficient adsorbent was prepared by modifying Fagus orientalis L. (beech) sawdust with H2SO4. The adsorption behavior of H2SO4-modified beech sawdust (SMBS) was investigated by batch experiments to offer a straightforward, inexpensive, and effective method for the retention of anionic and cationic model dyes, indigo carmine (IC) and methylene blue (MB), from wastewater. The experimental conditions were optimized by investigating the effects of the initial pH, initial concentrations of IC and MB dyes, dosage of SMBS, period of the contact, and the presence of salts in the aqueous media on the adsorptive performance of SMBS. The initial pH values of the aqueous solutions, from which IC and MB dyes will be removed, were optimized as 2.0 and 6.5 (natural), respectively. The optimum contact time for the adsorption of both dyes onto SMBS was determined to be 240 min. The mechanisms in the adsorption of IC and MB onto SMBS were investigated by evaluating the experimental data through different isotherm and kinetic models. The Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second order kinetic model performed well in explaining the mechanism of adsorption. Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity of SMBS adsorbent was 38.85 mg g−1 for IC and 58.82 mg g−1 for MB. As a result, CMCP exhibited excellent performance in adsorbing organic pollutants, providing a low-cost and easily prepared alternative to other adsorbents found in the literature.

    Insight into the adsorptive removal of Cr(VI) ions and 4-chlorophenol from aqueous media on cationic surfactant-modified cucumber peels

    Ozeken, Sengul Tugba; Ozdes, Duygu; Duran, Celal

    A new and cost-effective adsorbent material was developed by chemical modification of cucumber peels (CP) with a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The adsorptive behavior of CTAB-modified cucumber peels (CMCP) was investigated in the retention of an organic pollutant (4-chlorophenol) and an inorganic pollutant (Cr(VI)) through batch experiments. The adsorbents were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. Influences of initial concentrations of both pollutants, dosage of CMCP, initial solution pH, contact time, and foreign ions were parameters used to specify the optimized conditions. Results of the experiments were evaluated by three kinetic models, namely pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models, to find out the dominant mechanisms in the retention of 4-chlorophenol and Cr(VI). Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm models were applied to the adsorption data to estimate the adsorption capacity of CMCP and to describe the interactions between the species. Langmuir isotherm model fitted the data well, and the maximum Cr(VI) and 4-chlorophenol adsorption capacities of CMCP were 84.03 mg g−1 and 107.5 mg g−1, respectively. Consequently, CMCP demonstrated outstanding performance in the adsorption of both inorganic and organic pollutants, offering a low-cost, easily prepared alternative to other adsorbents reported in the literature.

    Sol–Gel Synthesized CuFe2O4-Modified Biochar Derived from Tea Waste for Efficient Ni(II) Removal: Adsorption, Regeneration, and ANN Modeling

    Duran, Celal; Ozeken, Sengul Tugba; Seker, Serdal; Ozdes, Duygu

    In the present research, a novel magnetic adsorbent was developed via the sol–gel method by coating CuFe2O4 nanoparticles on biochar sourced from brewed tea waste. The synthesized adsorbent was utilized for the removal of Ni(II) ions from aqueous media. The adsorption efficiency of Ni(II) ions was assessed under crucial experimental conditions such as initial solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, and initial Ni(II) concentration. The adsorbent exhibited rapid adsorption kinetics, achieving equilibrium in approximately 15 min, and maintained high efficiency across a wide pH range. Adsorption experiments were conducted for Ni(II) solutions at their natural pH (5.6) to minimize chemical usage and enhance process simplicity. An impressive maximum adsorption capacity of 232.6 mg g−1 was recorded, outperforming many previously reported adsorbents. Furthermore, desorption studies demonstrated nearly 100% recovery of Ni(II) ions using 1.0 M HCl solution, indicating excellent regeneration potential of the adsorbent. Additionally, the prediction performance of an artificial neural network (ANN) model was evaluated to predict Ni(II) removal efficiency based on experimental variables, showing strong agreement with experimental data. Isotherm and kinetic models were also applied to the data to estimate the adsorption mechanisms. These findings demonstrate the promise of CuFe2O4-modified tea waste biochar for sustainable water treatment applications.

    Duran, Celal; Ozeken, Sengul Tugba; Camoglu, Aslihan Yilmaz; Ozdes, Duygu

    Presence of hazardous dyes in water cause considerable risks to the human health and environment due to their potential toxicity and ecological disruptions. Therefore, in the present research, to suggest an alternative method for the retention of toxic Azocarmine G (ACG) dye from aqueous media, natural and H2SO4-modified acacia sawdust were performed for the first time as low-cost and efficient adsorbents. Based on batch experiments, it was determined that the best conditions for the developed dye retention process were an initial pH of 2.0 and an equilibrium time of 240 min. Analysis of the data using both pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models showed that the retention of ACG onto the adsorbents predominantly occurred through chemical adsorption. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models were employed to provide insights into the interaction between the adsorbate and adsorbent and the mechanism of the adsorption process. Maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of natural and H2SO4-modified acacia sawdust were determined as 28.01 and 64.90 mg g-1, respectively by Langmuir isotherm model. Results of the study clearly indicated that the modification of acacia sawdust with H2SO4 leads to a substantial increase in the adsorption performance of anionic dyes.

    Comparison of the removal efficiencies of Basic red 46 from aqueous solutiousing Aşkale lignite with and without ultrasound assisted processes

    Karaca, Canan; Karaca, Melike; Kıranşan, Murat; Karaca, Semra; Açışlı, Özkan; Gürses, Ahmet

    This study compared the removal efficiencies of Basic red 46 from aqueous solutions with and without ultrasound-assisted processes using lignite as a low-cost adsorbent. The effects of various experimental parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial solution, pH, initial dye concentration and temperature on the dye removal efficiency were investigated. The experimental results were modelled by the kinetic and isotherm models. Both of processes fitted well to pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir model with highest correlation coefficients for all of three temperatures. The results showed that the influence parameters have a different effect on the removal efficiency in the presence and absence of ultrasonic irradiation. When the results obtained for both processes are compared, it is seen that the removal efficiency obtained with the ultrasound assisted process is much higher than that obtained with non-ultrasound assisted process at high dye concentrations. The removal efficiency of ultrasound-assisted and unassisted processes was found to be 81.5% and 54.6%, respectively, at 80 mg/L dye concentration and 60 min. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic. The enthalpy and entropy changes for the ultrasound-assisted process were –9.35 kJ/mol and –0.03 kJ/K·mol, respectively.

    Enhancement of adsorptive removal efficiency of an anionic dye from aqueous solutions using carboxylic acid-modified mulberry leaves: Artificial neural network modeling, isotherm, and kinetics evaluation

    Duran, Celal; Ozeken, Sengul Tugba; Camoglu, Aslihan Yilmaz; Ozdes, Duygu

    Natural mulberry leaves and carboxylic acid-modified mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaves were used for the first time to scrutinize the effects of modification on the retention efficiency of an anionic dye (Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR)) from aqueous solutions to suggest an economical and promising adsorbent for the treatment of dye-contaminated water. The characterization of the adsorbents was accomplished through common techniques including SEM, FTIR, and pHpzc determination. Several parameters studied in batch experiments pointed out that the initial pH of 2.0 and the contact time of 240 min were optimum conditions for all the developed RBBR uptake processes. An artificial neural network (ANN) model was applied to formulate a forecast model for the uptake efficiency of RBBR. The experimental data were assessed by different kinetic and isotherm models to explain the mechanism of the developed processes in more detail. Maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of natural mulberry leaves and acetic acid-, citric acid-, and oxalic acid-modified mulberry leaves were determined as 64.5, 95.2, 84.8, and 91.7 mg g1, respectively, by the Langmuir isotherm model. These results demonstrated that the modification with carboxylic acids significantly increases the anionic dye adsorption capacity of the mulberry leaves.

    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.

    Modeling of Co(II) adsorption by artificial bee colony and genetic algorithm

    Öztürk, Nurcan; Sentürk, Hasan Basri; Gündogdu, Ali; Duran, Celal

    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.

    Equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamic evaluation of mercury (II) removal from aqueous solutions by moss (Homalothecium sericeum) biomass

    Ozdes, Duygu; Duran, Celal

    In the present research, Homalothecium Sericeum was utilized for the first time as an effective and readily available adsorbent in removal of Hg(II) ions from aqueous solutions through a batch adsorption technique. The effects of initial solution pH, contact time, initial Hg(II) and adsorbent concentration, temperature, and ionic strengths were evaluated on the removal efficiency of Hg(II) ions, after being characterized of H. sericeum by different techniques. The maximum Hg(II) adsorption was obtained as 128.2 mg g-1 at initial pH 6.0 with an equilibrium time of 60 min, adsorbent dosage of 5.0 g L-1 and initial Hg(II) concentration range of 50-750 mg L-1. The adsorption behaviors of Hg(II) ions onto H. sericeum were investigated in terms of kinetics (pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and intraparticle diffusion models), isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin Radushkevich models), and thermodynamics evaluation. Both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were found to be suitable to describe the adsorption equilibrium while the adsorption kinetics followed by the pseudo-second order model. Thermodynamic parameters including the Gibbs free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and entropy (ΔS) changes indicated that the adsorption of Hg(II) ions onto H. sericeum was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic in nature.

    Rosa canina seeds (RCS) is considered as a low-cost and promising adsorbent in removal of metal ions; hence, in the present study, we aimed to test the adsorptive removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions by utilizing RCS in a batch process. 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 present study has been performed to examine the adsorption ability of novel sorbent dehydrated hazelnut husk carbon (DHHC) towards Ni(II) ions from aqueous solution using the batch adsorption technique. The effective factors such as initial pH of the aqueous solution, contact time, initial Ni(II) concentration, adsorbent dosage, and temperature were investigated. The studies were also conducted to understand the effect of some co-existing ions which may be present in aqueous solutions. DHHC showed good adsorption potential for Ni(II) ions. The optimum initial pH value was selected as 5.0. The experimental data fitted well to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Among the kinetic models tested for the adsorption of Ni(II), the pseudo-second-order model showed a good fit of the kinetic data. The thermodynamic parameters including the Gibbs free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and entropy (ΔS) changes indicated that the adsorption of Ni(II) ions onto DHHC was feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic in the temperature range of 25-55°C. The results of this study showed the effectiveness and feasibility of DHHC for the removal of Ni(II) ions from aqueous solution.
