Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Atr1, Boron Exporter in Yeast(Springer Science+Business Media, 2013) Koç, Ahmet; Uluisik, Irem[No abstract available]Book Part Boron Stress Tolerance, Ymr279c and Yor378w(Springer Science+Business Media, 2013) Koç, Ahmet; Uluisik, Irem[No abstract available]Article Design of Sulfur Resistant Cobalt Catalysts by Boron Promotion: Atomic Scale Insights(Sakarya University, 2024) Kızılkaya, A.C.The effect of boron promotion on atomic sulfur formation by hydrogen sulfide dissociation on Co(111), flat surfaces of cobalt nanoparticles, was investigated using Density Functional Theory calculations. The results show that on clean Co(111), hydrogen sulfide dissociation proceeds fast due to low activation barriers, yielding atomic sulfur on the cobalt surfaces. Boron promotion hinders the dissociation of hydrogen sulfide due to increased activation barriers. Furthermore, boron prevents the interaction of sulfur compounds with cobalt surface atoms, as these poisons bind on boron. The findings indicate that boron is an effective promoter that can be used to design sulfur resistant cobalt catalysts. © 2024, Sakarya University.

In order to ensure the sustainable operation of geothermal power plants, it is necessary to recharge geothermal fluids back into the reservoirs. It is worth mentioning that the accidental release of geothermal brines or the accumulation of salts and silica from geothermal power facilities can lead to significant environmental issues. Geothermal fluids brought to the surface for any application must be treated in the most practical and feasible way before discharge to the any receiving body or back to the reservoirs. The objective of this chapter was therefore to study the hydrogeochemical properties of geothermal fluids in different regions and propose some scientific approached for the treatment of spent geothermal fluid prior to its use as an alternative water source, especially in agriculture applications. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

However, the highest concentrations of naturally occurring aqueous arsenic (As) and boron (B) are found in certain types of geothermal fluids, generally those related to faults and volcanic activity which have caused wide-ranging alteration from argillic type to silica type. The argillic alteration zones are typically enriched in sulfur in volcanic rocks. Also, epithermal systems, which have a high concentration of As in the form of realgar and orpiment along the fracture zones of metamorphic and carbonate aquifers. On the other hand, B can easily rise to the surface by hydrothermal activity or concentrate in residual magma fluids or coexisting liquid and gas phases depending on the geology. The concentration of As and B in geothermal fluids changes in each geothermal field because of the geological properties of the region. For example, the concentration of As in geothermal fluids ranges from 10 μg/L to 50 mg/L in different parts of world whereas the concentration of B ranges from 0.04 to 119 mg/L. This chapter describes the sources and behavior of As and its relationship to elements such as B and chlorine (Cl−) using data from the samples taken from boiling and warm hot springs and geothermal wells in different geothermal fields in Turkey to evaluate their environmental impacts. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Synthesis of a Novel Cellulose-Based Adsorbent From Olive Tree Pruning Waste for Removal of Boron From Aqueous Solution(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Altınbaş, B.F.; Yüksel, A.This work investigated the valorization of olive tree pruning debris as a biosorbent for the removal of environmentally hazardous boron from aqueous solution using batch adsorption. For this purpose, a novel, waste-based, boron selective biosorbent from olive tree pruning waste (N-OPW) was synthesized. Alkali pretreatment, followed by glycidyl-methacrylate (GMA) grafting and providing boron selectivity with n-methyl-d-glucamine (NMDG) steps, was applied to the biomass, respectively. N-OPW was characterized using SEM, TGA, and FT-IR analyses. N-OPW showed excellent boron biosorption capacity (21.80 mg/g) in an operation pH range between 2 and 12. The equilibrium was attained in 2 h and the Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.997) and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.99) provided the strongest match to experimental data. According to thermodynamic studies, boron adsorption was exothermic (ΔH = −34.14 kJ/mol). The reusability tests with real geothermal water showed that adsorbent had no significant decrease in boron removal capacity while desorbing >99% of the boron adsorbed for three cycles of adsorption/desorption. Results indicated that a promising, reusable, and boron selective biosorbent was successfully synthesized while utilizing olive pruning waste.

The present research work is based on a scientific hypothesis, i.e., The removal of average pesticide residue is inversely proportional to the thickness of cuticle. The effects of boron-containing products and plant-based surfactants were tested for the removal of five pesticides (lambda-cyhalothrin, chlorpyrifos, diflubenzuron, metaflumizone, acetamiprid) on tomatoes and apples. Boron-containing products were able to remove the pesticide residues on average between 58.0 and 72.6% in tomatoes and 33.2-58.8% in an apple. While plant-based surfactants removed residues on average between 58.5 and 66.6% in tomatoes and 41.0-53.2% in an apple. The highest removal rate was 72% with etidot at 1%. The solution of 1% C8-C10 provided 66.6% average removal for tomatoes. Less removal was achieved in apples. For an apple, Log K-ow and molecular mass (independent variables) were significant with p < 0.01, and the coefficient of determination (R-2) was > 0.87. However, the multiple linear regression analysis for ground colemanite was significant with R-2 of 0.96. In tomatoes, neither Log K-ow nor molecular mass as significant. The correlation was found between the physical and chemical properties of pesticides, but it is estimated that the thickness of the cuticle is effective in removing pesticides.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Novel Hybrid Adsorption-Electrodialysis (aded) System for Removal of Boron From Geothermal Brine(American Chemical Society, 2022) Altınbaş, Bekir Fırat; Orak, Ceren; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Yüksel, AslıA novel hybrid adsorption-electrodialysis (AdED) system to remove environmentally harmful boron from geothermal brine was designed and effective operating parameters such as pH, voltage, and flow rate were studied. A cellulose-based adsorbent was synthesized from glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) grafted cellulose and modified with a boron selective n-methyl-d-glucamine (NMDG) group and characterized with SEM-EDX, FT-IR, and TGA analyses. Batch adsorption studies revealed that cellulose-based adsorbent showed a remarkable boron removal capacity (19.29 mg/g), a wide stable operating pH range (2-10), and an adsorption process that followed the Freundlich isotherm (R2= 0.95) and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2= 0.99). In the hybrid AdED system, the optimum operating parameters for boron removal were found to be a pH of 10, a voltage of 10 V, a flow rate of 100 mL/min, and an adsorbent dosage of 4 g/L. The presence of the adsorbent in the hybrid system increased boron removal from real geothermal brine (containing 199 ppm boron) from 7.2% to 73.3%. The results indicate that the designed AdED system performs better than bare electrodialysis for boron removal from ion-rich real geothermal brine while utilizing environmentally friendly cellulose-based adsorbent.Article Citation - WoS: 40Citation - Scopus: 47Boron in Geothermal Energy: Sources, Environmental Impacts, and Management in Geothermal Fluid(Elsevier, 2022) Mott, A.; Baba, Alper; Hadi Mosleh, Mojgan; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Babaei, Masoud; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Feng, C.; Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Uzelli, Taygun; Uytun, Hüseyin; Morata, Diego; Yüksel Özşen, AslıThe problem of hazardous chemicals in geothermal fluid is a critical environmental concern in geothermal energy developments. Boron is among the hazardous contaminants reported to be present at high concentrations in geothermal fluids in various countries. Poor management and inadequate treatment of geothermal fluids can release excessive boron to the environment that has toxic effects on plants, humans, and animals. Despite the importance of boron management in geothermal fluid, limited and fragmented resources exist that provide a comprehensive understanding of its sources, transport and fate, and the treatment strategies in geothermal energy context. This paper presents the first critical review from a systematic and comprehensive review on different aspects of boron in geothermal fluid including its generation, sources, toxicity, ranges and the management approaches and treatment technologies. Our research highlights the origin of boron in geothermal water to be mainly from historical water-rock interactions and magmatic intrusion. Excessive concentrations of boron in geothermal fluids have been reported (over 500 mg/L in some case studies). Our review indicated that possible boron contamination in geothermal sites are mostly due to flawed construction of production/re-injection wells and uncontrolled discharge of geothermal water to surface water. The dominancy of non-ionic H3BO3 species makes the selection of the suitable treatment method for geothermal waters limited. Combining boron selective resins and membrane technologies, hybrid systems have provided effluents suitable for irrigation. However, their high energy consumption and course structure of boron selective resins encourage further research to develop cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives.
