Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Use of Nano Zero-Valent Iron Coated Coffee Grounds for Removal of Zn(ii) and Ni(ii) From Aqueous Solutions(Desalination Publications, 2019) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Genişoğlu, Mesut; Ökten, Hatice EserThis research investigates the adsorption capacity of a novel composite material, namely nano zero-valent iron coated coffee grounds (nZVI-CG), for removal of zinc (Zn) and nickel (Ni). nZVI particles were synthesized and immobilized to the surface of waste coffee grounds (CG) using the ultrasonic-assisted liquid phase method. Characterization of synthesized nZVI-CG composite and bare CG showed that nZVI coating has increased the surface area significantly. Batch tests were conducted to examine the effects of pH, reaction time and initial metal concentrations on Zn2+ and Ni2+ removal. At an initial metal concentration of 10 mg-Ni/L and 10 mg-Zn/L, nZVI-CG removal rates for Zn2+ and Ni2+ were observed as 98.89% and 97.29%, respectively; while removal rates of bare CG have remained at 51% (Zn2+) and 48.1% (Ni2+). Moreover, acidic conditions were observed to deteriorate Ni2+ and Zn2+ adsorption since most functional groups of the metals were protonated. Increasing initial nickel and zinc concentrations decreased removal rates. While the model fittings improved with increasing pH, in the case of nZVI-CG, Langmuir isotherm gave the best fits for Ni2+ and Zn2+ at pH 5 and 7. Also, our experimental results followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, regardless of the used adsorbent. Consequently, our results showed that nZVI-CG composite material is a promising alternative adsorbent for pilot scale metal removal/recovery applications.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 23Adsorption of Methylene Blue From Aqueous Solution on High Lime Fly Ash: Kinetic, Equilibrium, and Thermodynamic Studies(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2012) Keleşoğlu, Serkan; Kes, Mürşide; Sütçü, Leman; Polat, HürriyetKinetic, equilibrium, and thermodynamic studies were performed for the batch adsorption of methylene blue (MB) on the high lime fly ash as a low cost adsorbent material. The studied operating variables were adsorbent amount, contact time, dye concentration, and temperature. The kinetic data were analyzed using the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models and the adsorption kinetic was followed well by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The equilibrium data were fitted with the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin Radushkevich (D-R) isotherms and the equilibrium data were found to be well represented by the Freundlich and D-R isotherms. Based on these two isotherms MB is taken by chemical ion exchange and active sites on the high lime fly ash have different affinities to MB molecules. Various thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy of adsorption (ΔH°), free energy change (ΔG°), and entropy change (ΔS°) were investigated. The positive value of ΔH° and negative value of ΔG° indicate that the adsorption is endothermic and spontaneous. The positive value of ΔS° shows the increased randomness at the solid-liquid interface during the adsorption. A single-stage batch adsorber was also designed based on the Freundlich isotherm for the removal of MB by the high lime fly ash. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Gas Sensing Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Modified With Calixarene Molecules Measured by Qcm Techniques(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2012) Mermer, Ömer; Okur, Salih; Sümer, F.; Özbek, Cebrail; Sayın, S.; Yılmaz, MustafaThis study focuses on the characterization and optimization of calixarene modified carbon nanotube thin films for gas detection. Calixarene molecules were synthesized individually by considering their functional groups to attract the gas. Calixarene modified carbon nanotube based sensors were fabricated using drop-casting method on a quartz crystal microbalance gold electrode. Carbon monoxide, carbondioxide, oxygen and dry air were used as active gases for adsorption process, while high-purity nitrogen gas was used for desorption process. The selectivity and sensitivity of calixarene modified carbon nanotube are investigated in detail. Our experimental results show that functional calixarene modified carbon nanotube coated quartz crystal microbalance sensors are very sensitive and selective to gas of CO 2 at room temperature operation.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Recovery of Proanthocyanidin From Waste of Turkish Traditional Product, Pekmez (molasses)(Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology, 2007) Altıok, Evren; Ülkü, Semra; Ülkü, Semra; Ülkü, Semra; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Bayraktar, OğuzThe possibility of recovering of proanthocyanidin (PA) from the by-product of Turkish traditional product pekmez (molasses) industry, one of the agro industries, was investigated. In order to obtain optimum extraction conditions, the effects of different solvents and their aqueous forms were studied and the highest PA concentration was achieved as 31 (±0.68)g/L with acetone/water (30: 70, v/v) solution. The correlations between phenolic contents, PA concentrations and antioxidant capacities were shown. Antioxidant capacities of extracts were determined and the comparison of them with synthetic and commercial antioxidants was performed. The antioxidant capacity of PA extract from grape seed of molasses pomace was 93 (±1.43) TEAC values, which was relatively high compared with those of the synthetic antioxidants. Silk fibroin was used as a novel adsorbent to recover the PA from the grape seed extracts. Effect of parameters such as, solid-liquid ratio, pH and initial concentration of PA on the recovery performance was investigated. All parameters were found statistically significant parameters (P < 0.005) and the best adsorption conditions were found to be pH 5.5, initial concentration as 10 g/ml and solid-liquid ratio as 0.1 g/ml, which yielded the maximum percentage of adsorbed PA amount as 85.2%.
