    Modification of Grape Pulp With Citric Acid for the Production of Natural Ion Exchanger Resin and Removal of Pb (ii) and Cd (ii) From Aqueous Solutions: Kinetic, Thermodynamics, and Mechanism
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Arslanoğlu, E.; Eren, M.Ş.A.; Arslanoğlu, H.; Çiftçi, H.
    In this study, grape pulp (MGP) modified with NaOH and citric acid was used in the production of natural ion exchangers. The effects of parameters such as initial pH, MGP dosage, temperature, initial metal ion concentration, and contact time on the removal of Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from aqueous solutions using modified materials were investigated by batch experiments. It was found that the experimental kinetic data fit the second-order model, and the activation energy for Pb (II) and Cd (II) adsorption processes were 20.68 and 38.61 kj mol−1, respectively. Although the initial adsorption rate increases with increasing temperature, the adsorption efficiency slightly decreases. It was calculated that the equilibrium data fit the Langmuir isotherm better, and the maximum adsorption capacities for Pb (II) and Cd (II) adsorption processes were approximately 1.496 and 1.022 mmol g−1 at 25 °C, respectively. Thermodynamic analysis has shown that the adsorption processes of Pb (II) and Cd (II) are exothermic (ΔH°Pb = −35.68 kj mol−1, ΔH°Cd = −21.19 kj mol−1) and have a self-developing character.

    Facile Fabrication of Anti-Biofouling Polyaniline Ultrafiltration Membrane by Green Citric Acid Doping Process
    (Elsevier, 2021) Güngörmüş, Elif; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide
    This study aimed to enhance the anti-biofouling property of the polyaniline (PANI) based ultrafiltration (UF) membrane by utilizing its self-acid doping ability. A naturally derived biodegradable agent, citric acid, was doped to the membrane by filtering at 1 bar. Acid doping increased the hydrophilicity, made the surface nearly electroneutral, and imparted biocidal characteristics to the membrane. Biofouling was simulated by filtering a suspension of E.coli and S.aureus through the membranes. Most fouling on the doped membrane was reversible and easily removed by simple washing, leading to a high flux recovery ratio. The SEM images taken after filtration and washing steps showed that the modified membrane surface was free of bacteria while many bacteria accumulated on the pristine membrane surface. The doped membrane was stored in 1 M NaCl solution for up to five months. A tiny amount of citric acid was lost from the membrane, and at the end of storage, the flux, rejection, and antibacterial activity values did not change, demonstrating the antibacterial agent's stability. The protocol proposed in this study is fast, simple, facile, and easily scalable for large-scale production. Using a green antibacterial agent and its loading with a one-step process without consuming chemicals or functionalizing the support makes the proposed method environmentally friendly.
