Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Chitosan-Immobilized Pumice for the Removal of As(v) From Waters(Springer Verlag, 2014) Turan, Dilek; Kocahakimoğlu, Cemre; Boyacı, Ezel; Sofuoğlu, Sait Cemil; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminA novel sorbent, chitosan-immobilized pumice, has been prepared for the sorption of As(V) from waters prior to its determination by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry. The success of the immobilization has been checked with such characterization techniques as scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and elemental analysis. Points of zero charge of the sorbents were determined with potentiometric mass titration. Batch-type equilibration studies have shown that the novel sorbent can be employed at a wide pH range resulting in quantitative sorption (>90 %) at pH 3.0-7.0 and greater than 70 % sorption at pH >8.0. These results demonstrate the advantage of immobilizing chitosan onto pumice, because, under the same conditions, pumice displays <20 % sorption toward As(V), whereas chitosan gives approximately 90%sorption only at pH 3.0. The validity of the method was verified through the analysis of ultrapure, bottled drinking, and tap water samples spiked with arsenate; the respective sorption percentages of 93.2 (±0.7), 89.0 (±1.0), and 80.9 (±1.3) were obtained by batch-type equilibration. Arsenic sorption was also examined in the presence of common interfering ions resulting in competing effects of PO3- 4 and NO- 3on As(V) adsorption.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Electrospun Amino-Functionalized Pdms as a Novel Spme Sorbent for the Speciation of Inorganic and Organometallic Arsenic Species†(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013) Boyacı, Ezel; Horzum, Nesrin; Çağır, Ali; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminSol–gel based amine-functionalized SPME fibers (PDMS-weak anion exchanger) were prepared and used for direct mode extraction of dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), and arsenate (As(V)) from aqueous solutions followed by HPLC-ICPMS determination. Two different methods of coating were employed: (i) electrospinning and (ii) dip coating. Electrospinning was used for the first time for preparation of sol–gel based SPME fibers and was found to be superior in terms of extracted amount of arsenicals, coating homogeneity, accessibility of amine groups on the surface, and preparation time for a single fiber. Various parameters such as solution pH, extraction time, agitation speed, extraction temperature, and ionic strength were studied. Optimum extraction conditions were determined as pH of 5.0, extraction time of 30 min, agitation speed of 700 rpm, and extraction temperature of 20 C. Extraction ability of the novel coating decreased by the addition of NaCl as a consequence of the competition between anionic arsenic species and chloride ions for active sites of the weak anion exchanger. This novel sol–gel coating prepared by electrospinning was found to be promising for SPME applications. Vibrational spectroscopy revealed the alignment of PDMS chains by elongational force under electrospinning process. The chain alignment accordingly orients the pendant amino functional groups perpendicular to the fiber surface, which may develop the free active functional groups available to the medium and lead to the enhancement of the extraction performance. Moreover, the proposed coating strategy through electrospinning might be able to break new ground for various applications in analytical chemistry as well as other disciplines.
