Article Analytical Methodology for Monitoring and Distribution Pattern Analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in River Basins Based on Chemometrics(Wiley, 2025) Yildirim, Ebru calkan; Pelit, Fusun; Ozdemir, Durmus; Kazan, Aysegul; Tasdelen, Ozge; Baycan, NevalWith the increase in urbanization and industrialization, the environmental quality of river basins, which serve as a crucial source of irrigation for agricultural activities, has been deteriorating progressively. Thus, monitoring persistent toxic substances in urban water resources is crucial for maintaining ecological stability and protecting human health. In recent years, particular attention has been directed toward the prevention of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), highlighting the importance of analyzing these compounds in water samples through more environmentally sustainable techniques. In this study, we report a green, rapid, cost-effective and simple dispersive liquid-liquid extraction (DLLME) method to monitor PAHs in river waters taken from 21 stations located within the geographical boundaries of the Gediz River Basin in Izmir Province, T & uuml;rkiye. Methodological parameters were optimized by chemometric techniques including Plackett-Burman (PBD) and Box-Behnken design. The method's accuracy was tested upon spiked river samples, and the recoveries ranged from 80% to 102%. The calibration curves were linear, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.98. The limit of detection values were between 0.01 and 0.05 ng mL-1. The reproducibility (RSD%) varied from 4.0% to 19%. Multivariate classification methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), along with the supervised classification method partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were applied to elucidate the general distribution patterns of individual PAHs in the basin water samples. The chemometric evaluation conducted across four seasons revealed that PAH contamination was higher in the fall and winter months, resulting in a clear separation from spring and summer samples by using the first two principal components.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Adsorption of No in Clinoptilolite-Rich Zeolitic Mineral by Concentration Pulse Chromatography Method(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Narin, Güler; Ülkü, SemraThe equilibrium and kinetic parameters for NO adsorption in a clinoptilolite-rich natural zeolitic material from Turkey were determined using the concentration pulse chromatography method. Under the experimental conditions (carrier gas velocities and adsorption temperatures) the micropore diffusion resistance was found to be the mass transfer controlling step. Matching the first moment of the response peaks to the mathematical model the Henry's Law constants and heat of adsorption at zero loading were determined. The axial dispersion, external film, macropore and micropore diffusion coefficients, and activation energy for diffusion of NO in the micropores were calculated from the analysis of the second moments of the response peaks. For successive NO pulses without regeneration between the pulses, the retention times of the response peaks decreased and peak areas increased with the injection number indicating irreversible adsorption. The reversibly adsorbed NO could be desorbed by purging with an inert gas at the adsorption pressure and temperature. Temperature programmed desorption profile obtained by heating the NO saturated adsorbent to 400 °C under inert flow revealed presence of multiple irreversibly adsorbed species in NZ with different thermal stabilities. Desorption of these species was not achieved during the heating up to 400 °C which makes the natural zeolitic materıal suitable for NO storage rather than for cyclic adsorptive separation processes.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Chromatographic Separation of Amyloglucosidase From the Mixtures of Enzymes(Elsevier Ltd., 2001) Harsa, Hayriye Şebnem; Furusaki, ShintaroAn affinity chromatographic separation of amyloglucosidase (AMG) enzyme using β-cyclodextrin-chitosan matrix was investigated in this study. The adsorbent selectively adsorbed AMG from the mixtures of enzymes (lactase and α-amylase), and this selectively bound AMG was eluted from the column in two steps with a recovery yield of about 72%. A small fraction of AMG and other contaminating proteins did not bind to the column specifically and were eluted easily. Purified AMG was visualised on the sodiumdodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) experiments
