Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Recovery of Metals From Leach Liquors: Biosorption Versus Metal Sulfide Precipitation(Springer Nature, 2024) Kucuker,M.A.Extraction of metals (leaching) is chemical or biochemical processes that utilize acids or microorganisms to enhance the suspension of metals from the primary and secondary sources by making them more amenable to dissolution in aqueous solutions (leachate). Recovery of metals from the leachates is an essential stage supported by additional purification processes such as precipitation of impurities, electrowinning, solvent extraction, chemical or biological adsorption, and ion exchange. In this study, especially biosorption and metal sulfide precipitation are overviewed and discussed. Biosorption is a process by which particular biomass such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, agricultural wastes, algae, and biowastes can able to bind with specific ions or other molecules from aqueous solutions. Metal sulfide precipitation can be highly effective in obtaining a high degree of separation of metal cations from complex leachates. Each of these techniques has advantages and drawbacks. Sometimes, a technique may not be effective in attaining higher metal recovery. Therefore, different recovery techniques are needed to recover the target elements from the complex leachates. Maybe a combination of two or three recovery techniques is required to recover metals from complex leachates. Additionally, the research activity highlighted that metal sulfide precipitation and biosorption processes have to limit factors that could hinder the process scale-up. Thus, more research is needed to evaluate the environmental impacts of metal recovery from leach liquors. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 22Enhanced Methylene Blue Removal Efficiency of Tio2 Embedded Porous Glass(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Ertuş, E.Burak; Vakıfahmetoğlu, Çekdar; Öztürk, AbdullahA porous glass (PG) embedded with titanium dioxide (TiO2) was produced via impregnation of the PG with Titanium (IV) Isopropoxide solution followed by crystallization. N2 sorption analyses revealed that the specific surface area (SSA) and total pore volume of the PG reached to 358 m2/g and 0.370 cm3/g, respectively. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue (MB) for the glasses was measured in the dark, instead the photocatalytic MB removal efficiency was evaluated by the degradation of MB under UV light illumination using a UV–vis spectrometer. The MB removal efficiency of the TiO2 synthesized anatase powder was only 32.3 % whereas, for TiO2 embedded PG (TiPG) it was 91.6 %, and nearly complete (> 99 %) efficacy was achieved for TiO2 embedded alkaline leached PG (TiPG-AL) under UV illumination 3 h period. Better MB removal efficiency was attributed to high SSA and dispersion of nano size anatase TiO2 crystallites within the porous structure. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
