    Trypsin-Immobilized Silica: a Novel Adsorbent for V(iv) and V(v) Removal From Water
    (Water Environment Federation, 2018) Erdem Yayayürük, Aslı; Shahwan, Talal; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin
    In the present study, trypsin-immobilized silica was employed for the removal of V(IV) and V(V) ions from water. The synthesized sorbent was first characterized and then investigated for the removal of V(IV) and V(V) under various experimental conditions. The adsorption performance of the sorbent was tested as a function of pli, sorbent amount, initial vanadium concentration, contact time, and temperature. The sorption process was then investigated, both from a kinetic perspective and also in terms of isotherm models. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm was the best model to describe the sorption process. Sorption thermodynamics were spontaneous and exothermic. The proposed method was successfully applied to real samples for the removal of V(IV)and V(V) with sufficient accuracy and precision.

    How Do Contaminated Reservoir Bottom Sediments Affect Water Quality? an Assessment Using Swim Model
    (Water Environment Federation, 2013) Elçi, Şebnem; Şimşek, Sinem Elif
    In this study, an approach for the assessment of long term effects of contaminated sediments on the surface water quality of a future reservoir is presented. A one-dimensional sediment-water interaction model designed to simulate contaminants associated with the sediments, and the transfer of these contaminants to the overlying water column, was developed. The effect of contaminated bottom sediments on water quality was investigated under different stratification conditions. The numerical model was applied to an existing reservoir (Tahtali Reservoir) for validation and projected contaminant concentrations based on the soil and water samples collected before inundation of the land. Results were compared with the concentrations obtained from water samples collected during its operation. Next, transfer to a planned reservoir (Çamli Basin, Izmir) of four heavy metals - copper, zinc, chromium, and lead - existing in bottom sediments of the planned reservoir is modeled. A ten year projection of heavy metal concentrations for the Çamli Reservoir showed concentrations to be higher than those acceptable by the World Health Organization (WHO). Construction of a treatment facility is recommended if the reservoir is to be utilized for providing domestic water.
