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.

KG, 2018) Uluışık, İrem; Karakaya, Hüseyin Çağlar; Koç, AhmetBoron is an essential element for plants and probably essential for human and animal health. Boron has a broad range of physiological effects on biological systems at low concentrations, whereas it is toxic to at high concentrations. Eventhough there are many studies on boron's biological effects and toxicity, more information is needed to understand the mechanisms of its action. The aim of the current work is to review boron's function, transport and toxicity in different biological systems.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Evaluation of Boron Industrial Solid Waste in Composite Materials(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Topaloğlu Yazıcı, Demet; Çetinkaya, HayrullahBoron industrial solid waste is used as reinforcement for preparing composite materials. This waste has boron trioxide which holds unique properties may affect the surface or interface of the composite. The prepared composites are characterized in order to determine the dispersion and the structure by means of inverse gas chromatography (IGC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). There is a strong relation between the dispersion of reinforcement and the properties of newly formed composite. The dispersive component of the surface energies of the composites and components are determined by IGC. This parameter is difficult to measure by other methods and it is related to the wettability and adhesive characters of solid materials. The effect of compounding ratios of reinforcement is also examined. Furthermore, XRD diffractograms and SEM images of composites showed well dispersion. Thermal analysis revealed that the addition of the boron industrial solid waste to the polymer increased the thermal stability of pure polymer. Infrared spectra of the composites indicated that the composites were formed from the waste reinforcement and the polymer matrix.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 17Blowout Mechanism of Alasehir (turkey) Geothermal Field and Its Effects on Groundwater Chemistry(Springer Verlag, 2017) Rabet, Rita Sandrina; Şimşek, Celalettin; Baba, Alper; Murathan, AlimAnatolia region is one of the most seismically active regions in the world and has a considerably high level of geothermal energy potential. Some of these geothermal resources have been used for power generation and direct heating. Most of the high enthalpy geothermal systems are located in western part of Turkey. Alasehir is the most important geothermal site in western part of Turkey. Many geothermal wells have been drilled in Alasehir Plain to produce the geothermal fluid from the deep reservoir in the last 10 years. A blowout accident happened during a geothermal well drilling operation in Alasehir Plain, and significant amount of geothermal fluid surfaced out along the fault zone in three locations. When drilling string entered the reservoir rock about 1000 m, blowout occurred. As the well head preventer system was closed because of the blowout, high-pressure fluid surfaced out along the fault zone cutting the Neogene formation. In order to understand the geothermal fluid effects on groundwater chemistry, physical and chemical compositions of local cold groundwater were monitored from May 2012 to September 2014 in the study area. The geothermal fluid was found to be of Na–HCO3 water type, and especially, arsenic and boron concentrations reached levels as high as 3 and 127 mg/L, respectively. The concentrations of arsenic and boron in the geothermal fluid and groundwater exceeded the maximum allowable limits given in the national and international standards for drinking water quality. According to temporally monitored results, geothermal fluid has extremely high mineral content which influenced the quality of groundwater resources of the area where water resource is commonly used for agricultural irrigation.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 43Analysis of Electronic Parameters and Interface States of Boron Dispersed Triethanolamine/P-si Structure by Afm, I-V, C-V and G/?-v-f Techniques(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Yakuphanoğlu, Fahrettin; Okur, SalihThe electronic parameters and interface state properties of boron dispersed triethanolamine/p-Si structure have been investigated by atomic force microscopy, I-V, C-V-f and G/ω-V-f techniques. The surface topography and phase image of the TEA-B film deposited onto p-Si substrate were analyzed by atomic force microscopy. The atomic force microscopy results show a homogenous distribution of boron particles in triethanolamine film. The electronic parameters (barrier height, ideality factor and average series resistance) obtained from I-V characteristics of the diode are 0.81 eV, 2.07 and 5.04 kΩ, respectively. The interface state density of the diode was found to be 2.54 × 1010 eV- cm-2 under Vg = 0. The obtained Dit values obtained from C-V and G/ω measurements are in agreement with each other. The profile of series resistance dependent on voltage and frequency confirms the presence of interface states in boron dispersed triethanolamine/p-Si structure. It is evaluated that the boron dispersed triethanolamine controls the electronic parameters and interface properties of conventional Al/p-Si diode. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
