Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 21Retention of Aqueous Ba2+ Ions by Calcite and Aragonite Over a Wide Range of Concentrations: Characterization of the Uptake Capacity, and Kinetics of Sorption and Precipitate Formation(The Geochemical Society of Japan, 2007) Tunusoğlu, Özge; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, Talal; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe uptake of aqueous Ba2+, ions by abiogenic calcite and aragonite was studied over a wide range of concentration; 1.0 × 101, 5.0 × 101, 1.0 × 102 5.0 × 102, 1.0 × 103, 5.0 × 104, and 1.0 × 104 mg/L. The uptake process was characterized using ICP-AES, XRPD, SEM/EDS, and FTIR techniques. Up to the initial concentration of 5.0 × 102 mg/L, the uptake of Ba2+ ions was fast and obeyed Lagergren's kinetic model. The equilibrium data were adequately described using Freundlich isotherm model. The overgrowth of BaCO3 (witherite) took place at higher concentrations, in a kinetically slow process and enhanced the uptake of Ba2+ ions. Quantitative XRPD was used to evaluate the fractions of precipitated BaCO3 on calcite and aragonite minerals and monitor their variation with time. At all the studied concentrations, aragonite showed higher removal capacity of Ba2+ and faster uptake kinetics than did calcite. The precipitated crystals appeared to predominantly possess olivary-like morphology with an average particle size of 1-2 μm. EDS was used to reveal the elemental quantities of Ba and Ca after BaCO3 formation on calcite and aragonite surfaces. FTIR spectroscopy was employed to analyze the vibrational modes in carbonate mixtures upon incorporation of Ba2+ by sorption and precipitation mechanisms.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 21Kinetic and Thermodynamic Investigations of Strontium Ions Retention by Natural Kaolinite and Clinoptilolite Minerals(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2005) Akar, Dilek; Shahwan, Talal; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe current study was devoted to the determination of various thermodynamic and kinetic parameters resulting from the fixation of Sr2+ by natural samples of kaolinite and clinoptilolite minerals. The sorption process followed pseudo second order kinetics, with faster sorption on kaolinite compared to clinoptilolite, where the uptake is affected by intraparticle diffusion. Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models described the data more adequately than Langmuir model, and clinoptilolite showed a higher strontium sorption capacity than kaolinite. Thermodynamically, the activation energy of Sr2+ sorption by kaolinite and clinoptilolite were respectively, -8.5 and -18.4 kJ/mol. The sorption process on both minerals was spontaneous and endothermic at all the studied concentrations, with ΔH° being 11.3 and 9.8 kJ/mol, for sorption on kaolinite and clinoptilolite, respectively. The findings of this study were compared with those of an earlier study on the uptake of Cs+ by the same minerals.Article Citation - WoS: 119Citation - Scopus: 151Batch Removal of Aqueous Cu2+ Ions Using Nanoparticles of Zero-Valent Iron: a Study of the Capacity and Mechanism of Uptake(American Chemical Society, 2008) Karabelli, Duygu; Üzüm, Çağrı; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Scott, Tom B.; Shahwan, Talal; Lieberwirth, Ingo; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, nZVI prepared by borohydride reduction was applied for the removal of Cu2+ ions under a variety of experimental conditions. The uptake experiments investigated the effects of initial concentration, contact time, pH, and repetitive loading on the extent of retardation of Cu2+ ions. Within the applied conditions, the sorbent demonstrated fast uptake kinetics and outstanding fixation abilities up to an initial Cu2+ concentration of 200.0 mg/L. Partitioning of Cu2+ ions between liquid and solid phases demonstrated an isotherm of L-type. Within the studied conditions, the capacity of uptake was found to be 250 mg of Cu2+ per g of nZVI. According to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results, Cu2+ ions were sorbed primarily via a redox mechanism that resulted in the formation of Cu2O and Cu0. The contact of iron nanoparticles with aqueous media caused extensive formation of iron oxide. However, the material did not completely lose its removal capacity and was repeatedly applied at low concentrations for further uptake trials.Article Citation - WoS: 50Citation - Scopus: 53Physicochemical Characterization of the Retardation of Aqueous Cs+ Ions by Natural Kaolinite and Clinoptilolite Minerals(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Shahwan, Talal; Akar, Dilek; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, Talal; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe aim of this study was to carry out kinetic, thermodynamic, and surface characterization of the sorption of Cs+ ions on natural minerals of kaolinite and clinoptilolite. The results showed that sorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The activation energies were 9.5 and 13.9 kJ/mol for Cs+ sorption on kaolinite and clinoptilolite, respectively. Experiments performed at four different initial concentrations of the ion revealed that the percentage sorption of Cs+ on clinoptilolite ranged from 90 to 95, compared to 28 to 40 for the kaolinite case. At the end of a 1 week period, the percentage of Cs+ desorption from clinoptilolite did not exceed 7%, while it amounted to more than 30% in kaolinite, indicating more stable fixation by clinoptilolite. The sorption data were best described using Freundlich and D–R isotherm models. Sorption showed spontaneous and exothermic behavior on both minerals, with ΔH0 being −6.3 and −11.4 kJ/mol for Cs+ uptake by kaolinite and clinoptilolite, respectively. Expanding the kaolinite interlayer space from 0.71 to 1.12 nm using DMSO intercalation, did not yield a significant enhancement in the sorption capacity of kaolinite, indicating that the surface and edge sites of the clay are more energetically favored. EDS mapping and elemental analysis of the surface of kaolinite and clinoptilolite revealed more intense signals on the surface of the latter with an even distribution of sorbed Cs+ onto the surfaces of both minerals.Article Citation - WoS: 120Citation - Scopus: 127Equilibrium, Thermodynamic and Kinetic Studies for the Biosorption of Aqueous Lead(ii), Cadmium(ii) and Nickel(ii) Ions on Spirulina Platensis(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Şeker, Ayşegül; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Yılmaz, Sinan; Demirel, Zeliha; Shahwan, Talal; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe biosorption of lead(II), cadmium(II) and nickel(II) ions from aqueous solution by Spirulina platensis was studied as a function of time, concentration, temperature, repetitive reactivity, and ionic competition. The kinetic results obeyed well the pseudo second-order model. Freundlich, Dubinin Radushkevich and Temkin isotherm models were applied in describing the equilibrium partition of the ions. Freundlich isotherm was applied to describe the design of a single-stage batch sorption system. According to the thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG°, ΔH°and ΔS° calculated, the sorption process was endothermic and largely driven towards the products. Sorption activities in a three metal ion system were studied which indicated that there is a relative selectivity of the biosorbent towards Pb2+ ions. The measurements of the repetitive reusability of S. platensis indicated a large capacity towards the three metal ions.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 40Preparation and Characterization of Alumina-Supported Iron Nanoparticles and Its Application for the Removal of Aqueous Cu2+ Ions(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Karabelli, Duygu; Ünal, Semira; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, Talal; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA composite sorbent of iron nanoparticles and alumina (Al–nZVI) was prepared and applied in the removal of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solutions. Alumina was introduced in a solution of Fe2+ ions, which were then reduced to metallic iron nanoparticles using borohydride ions. The characterization results showed that iron nanoparticles were partially dispersed on alumina surface, with their diameter being in the range 10–80 nm. The uptake experiments were performed at initial Cu2+ concentrations ranging from 10.0 to 500.0 mg/L. The experiments investigated the effects of initial concentration, contact time, and repetitive usage of the Al–nZVI on the extent of removal of Cu2+ ions. The composite sorbent demonstrated fast uptake, and its fixation capacity was 1.50 mmol/g (95.3 mg/g), which is well above that of pure alumina (0.32 mmol/g; 20.3 mg/g).Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 47Aas, Xrpd, Sem/Eds, and Ftir Characterization of Zn2+ Retention by Calcite, Calcite–kaolinite, and Calcite–clinoptilolite Minerals(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Shahwan, Talal; Zünbül, Banu; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, Talal; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, the sorption behavior of Zn2+ on calcite, kaolinite, and clinoptilolite, in addition to mixtures of calcite with kaolinite and clinoptilolite, was investigated at various loadings and mixture compositions using atomic absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared techniques. According to the obtained results, within the experimental operating conditions, the sorption capacity was enhanced with increasing amount of calcite in both types of mixtures. Under neutral–alkaline pH conditions and high loadings, the order of Zn2+ retention was observed as calcite > clinoptilolite > kaolinite. The experiments on the retention of Zn2+ by pure calcite under conditions of oversaturation showed that the uptake process proceeds via an initial adsorption mechanism (possibly ion-exchange type) followed by a slower mechanism that leads to the overgrowth of the hydrozincite phase, Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2.Article Citation - WoS: 163Citation - Scopus: 187Application of Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles for the Removal of Aqueous Co2+ Ions Under Various Experimental Conditions(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Üzüm, Çağrı; Shahwan, Talal; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Lieberwirth, Ingo; Scott, Thomas B.; Hallam, Keith R.; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyNanosized zero-valent iron (nZVI) is increasingly gaining interest as an efficient sorbent for various types of aqueous pollutants. In this study, nZVI was synthesised by the borohydride reduction method, characterised and then examined for the removal of aqueous Co2+ ions over a wide range of concentrations, from 1 to 1000 mg/L. The size of nZVI particles was predominantly within the range of 20–80 nm, and only limited oxidation was observed in samples aged for a period of 2 months. The experiments investigated the effects of V/m ratio, concentration, contact time, repetitive loading, pH and aging on the extent of retardation of Co2+ ions. Iron nanoparticles demonstrated very rapid uptake and large capacity for the removal of Co2+ ions. Effective uptake was observed even after a number of repetitive trials. The extent of Co2+ uptake increased with the increasing pH. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicate that the fixation of Co2+ ions takes place through the interaction of these ions with the oxohydroxyl groups on the iron nanoparticle surfaces in addition to spontaneous precipitate formation at high loadings.
