Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 11Valorization of Olive Tree Pruning Waste for Potential Utilization in Lithium Recovery From Aqueous Solutions(Springer, 2022) Nampeera, Jackline; Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Yüksel, AslıOlive tree pruning waste, mainly composed of olive branches, was converted into a value-added and sustainable product capable of lithium as a biosorbent through alkali treatment and phosphorylation reaction. Characterization studies were performed by SEM–EDX, XPS, FTIR, and TGA. Factors affecting biosorption mechanism, i.e., sorbent dosage, pH, initial Li+ concentration and temperature, and competitive ions’ presence, were investigated the synthesized functionalized olive branches (FOB). A commercial lithium selective resin, Lewatit TP 260, was also compared with FOB in batch and column studies. The Freundlich model fits adsorption isotherms better than the Langmuir model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 6.7 mg/g at 30 °C and pH 7–8. Kinetic studies proved fast kinetics and equilibrium were attained in 6 min, while thermodynamic studies showed an exothermic (Δ Ho= - 17.52 kJ/ mol) , spontaneous reaction Δ Go< 0 at all temperatures), and increased randomness Δ So= + 24.27 J/ mol. K) at the interaction interface. Column studies revealed that although Lewatit TP 260 resin showed higher sorption capacity, its desorption efficiency (50.42%) was lower than that of FOB (99.9%), and the degree of column utilization of FOB (56.81%) was better than Lewatit TP 260 resin’s (16.0%). The findings were encouraging in the successful synthesis of a promising biosorbent from an abundant waste in Turkey for use in sustainable lithium recovery from aqueous sources.

After polyacrylamide gel-electrophoretic separation, staining and drying, protein bands were subjected to focused laser pulses at the center or the vicinity of the protein band. Phosphorus containing proteins were recognized from their prominent phosphorus lines in the luminous plasma formed by energetic laser pulses. The LIBS emission intensity of phosphorus lines at 253.5 nm and 255.3 nm has been optimized with respect to laser energy and detector timing parameters by using pure casein in the pellet form. The method was applied to casein, ovalbumin, two commercially available standard protein mixtures and proteins extracted from the canola plant. It was shown that LIBS was capable of identifying phosphorus containing proteins directly in the gel matrix in nanogram amounts. Mass spectrometric analysis of the ovalbumin spot after the in-gel digestion procedure has proved the accuracy of the technique. With the speed and spatial resolution that LIBS offers, this technique shows promise in the micro-local spotting of phosphorus containing proteins in the polyacrylamide gel matrix prior to MS analysis for the determination of the phosphorylation sites. © 2014 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
