Öğe Adsorption of some highly toxic dyestuffs from aqueous solution by chitin and its synthesized derivatives(Elsevier Science Bv, 2009) Akkaya, Guelbahar; Uzun, Ilhan; Guzel, FuatThe adsorption of indigo carmine (IC) and trypan blue (TB) by chitin was kinetically investigated as dependent on temperature and pH. Experimental data obtained at different temperatures for the adsorption of each dyestuff were applied to the pseudo first-order, the pseudo second-order and the intraparticle diffusion rate equations, and the pseudo first-order rate constants (k(1)), the pseudo second-order rate constants (k(2)) and the intraparticle diffusion rate constants (k(p)) at these temperatures were calculated, respectively. In addition, adsorption isotherms of each dyestuff by chitin were also determined at different temperatures. It was seen that adsorption isotherms fitted the H type. Chitin was then modified via ring-opening reaction with cyclic acid anhydrides (succinic, maleic and 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic) in lithium chloride/N,N-dimethylacetamide. Chitin derivatives obtained were compared according to their capabilities to adsorb IC and TB. It was determined that IC and TB were more adsorbed by chitin modified with 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic anhydride (CBA) and chitin modified with maleic anhydride (CMA), respectively. 31.33% of IC (C-0: 300 ppm) by CBA, and 44.29% of TB (C-0: 200 ppm) by CMA were adsorbed. Then, the adsorption of IC by CBA and of TB by CMA was kinetically investigated as dependent on temperature. The constants k(1), k(2) and k(p) related to the adsorption of IC by CBA and of TB by CMA were calculated as stated above. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

The optimum production temperature was determined according to the maximum effect of pyrolysis temperature on textural properties such as BET surface area (S-BET), total pore volume (V-T), and average pore diameter (D-P) of biochars produced at different pyrolysis temperatures. The optimal biochar (MFC), which has an S-BET of 301.9 m(2)/g, V-T of 0.142 cm(3)/g, and D-P of 1.89 nm, was produced at a pyrolysis temperature of 700 degrees C and a pyrolysis time of 1 h. It was characterized by techniques such as nitrogen adsorption/desorption, SEM, XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, and Boehm titration. Optimum removal conditions of each adsorbate used were determined by examining the effects of process variables such as MFC dose, initial adsorbate concentration, contact time, and solution temperature on their natural pH in an aqueous solution. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm data of the adsorbates examined are well described by pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of MFC under optimum conditions determined for MB, DCF, and Cu(II) was found as 25.77, 5.72, and 71.43 mg/g, respectively. The calculated thermodynamic parameters for each adsorption system showed that the adsorption processes of MB and Cu(II), and DCF were endothermic and exothermic, respectively. In addition, MFC was observed to have high adsorption efficiency up to three cycles from regeneration studies performed for three adsorbates. The results of this study highlight that it can be evaluated as an alternative inexpensive precursor of MF for the sustainable production of environmentally friendly biochar as an adsorbent in the removal of water pollutants.Öğe Adsorptive removal of diclofenac sodium from aqueous solution via industrial processed citrus solid waste-based activated carbon: optimization, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamic, and reusability analyses(Springer Heidelberg, 2023) Guzel, Fuat; Koyuncu, FilizIn this research, the adsorptive ability of a novel activated carbon (CWAC) prepared from citrus industrial processing waste (CW) via phosphoric acid activation in decontaminating synthetically contaminated water with diclofenac (DCF), selected as a high toxicity model drug, was examined in detail. Optimum adsorption conditions were decided by analyzing the impacts of effective experimental parameters such as CWAC amount, DCF concentration, adsorption time, and ambient temperature. Experimental results were evaluated in kinetic, isothermal, thermodynamic, and intra-particle diffusion models to characterize the CWAC-DCF adsorption system. The kinetic and equilibrium isotherm data conformed the Lagergren and Langmuir models, respectively. The maximum amount of DCF adsorbed by CWAC was determined to be 185.19 mg/g under the specified optimum operating conditions. The values of the calculated thermodynamic parameters indicated that the process was endothermic and spontaneity increased at high temperatures. In addition, the CWAC was observed to maintain its high adsorption capacity even after five regeneration cycles. The adsorption mechanism was clarified by SEM and FT-IR spectroscopic examinations. The results of this research demonstrated the applicability of CWAC as a highly effective and reusable alternative adsorbent for decontamination of DCF-contaminated water.Öğe Application of an industrial agricultural waste-based activated carbon in the treatment of water contaminated with Reactive Blue 19 dye: optimization, kinetic, equilibrium and recyclability analyses(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2023) Koyuncu, Filiz; Avsar Teymur, Yekbun; Guzel, FuatThis study is concerned with the examination of the sorptive ability of a new carbonaceous (CPC) sorbent prepared under optimized conditions with H3PO4 activation from the citrus industrial processing pulp (CP) in removing Reactive Blue 19 dye (RB19) from an aqueous solution.

The biosorption of MB onto PS, CP, and WSH was investigated as a function of pH (2-10), initial dye concentration (25-450mg/L), temperature (293-333K), ionic strength (0.0-1.0mol/L NaCl), and biosorbent dose (0.1-1.0g/50mL). While the biosorption of MB on PS followed the Freundlich isotherm, biosorption on CP and WSH followed the Langmuir isotherm at all the temperatures studied. The monolayer biosorption capacities of PS, CP, and WSH were found to be 400, 111.11, and 57.14mg/g, respectively. The biosorption of MB onto PS followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the biosorption onto CP and WSH followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Thermodynamic studies showed that the biosorption of MB onto PS, CP, and WSH was spontaneous and feasible. The pH(zpc) values (of) PS, CP, and WSH were found to be 6.26, 6.42, and 6.83, respectively.

The effects of adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration, contact time, ionic strength and solution temperature on adsorption were investigated. Adsorption kinetic was better described by the pseudo-first order model. Results of the intra-particle diffusion model show that the pore diffusion is not the only rate-limiting step. Adsorption isotherm was well defined by the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of the activated carbon was 435 mg g(-1) at 328 K. The dimensionless separation factor RL revealed the favorable nature of the isotherm of the activated carbon-dye system. Adsorption energy was found to be 4.20-4.55 kJ mol(-1) indicating that the mechanism of adsorption is physical in nature. Thermodynamic studies showed that CR adsorption onto activated carbon was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic. Desorption of the used activated carbon was studied using ethanol as solvent and desorption efficiency of 56.4% was obtained after five cycles. The findings indicated that the activated carbon is a very effective and low-cost adsorbent for removal of CR dye from aqueous solutions.Öğe Bioremoval and recovery of Cu(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution by a novel biosorbent watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) seed hulls: Kinetic study, equilibrium isotherm, SEM and FTIR analysis(Desalination Publ, 2013) Akkaya, Guelbahar; Guzel, FuatThe biosorption of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions using a new sorbent, watermelon seed hulls (WSH), has been studied. The effect of pH (2-6), biosorbent dose (0.1-1.0g), initial metal ion concentration (10-500mgL(-1)), contact time (5-270min), and temperature (293-333K) was investigated. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms and kinetics were also investigated based on metals adsorption tests. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich models of adsorption, and the results fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm. The kinetic data have been analyzed using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion equations. The experimental data fit very well with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The data obtained from adsorption isotherms at different temperatures were used to calculate some thermodynamic quantities, such as free energy (G(o)), standard enthalpy (H-o), and standard entropy (S-o), were evaluated. The adsorption of these two metals on the WSH was found to be spontaneous and endothermic process in nature. Desorption experiments were carried out using various acid solutions with a view to regenerate the spent adsorbent and to recover the both adsorbed metal ions. According to the experimental results, WSH seems to be an effective, low-cost and alternative adsorbent precursor for the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions.Öğe Chemical modification of a cellulose-based material to improve its adsorption capacity for anionic dyes(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2017) Saygili, Guelbahar Akkaya; Guzel, FuatA cellulosic material was modified to enhance its anionic dye adsorption capacity.
