Article Hybrid Heroes of Water Treatment: the Rise of Biochar-Modified Metal Organic Frameworks(Elsevier Science Sa, 2026) Gungormus, Elif; Goren, A. Yagmur; Khataee, AlirezaBiochar-metal organic framework (BC-MOF) composites are highly promising for water treatment due to their synergistic properties. In this regard, this review paper highlights their outstanding performance in removing various pollutants from water. The applications of these composites cover various environmental remediation processes, such as adsorption, photocatalysis, persulfate activation, and Fenton-like degradation. BC-MOF composites have demonstrated high performance in environmental applications, achieving pollutant removal efficiencies exceeding 90 % through adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. Moreover, degradation processes through advanced oxidation pathways, which produce active radicals, such as hydroxyl and superoxide radical-mediated breakdowns, significantly enhance the mineralization of organic pollutants. Many composites also retained >80 % of their initial capacity after 4-6 cycles, indicating good reusability. Overall, BC-MOF composites present a sustainable, high-performance solution for contaminant removal, with broad applicability against antibiotics, dyes, heavy metals, pesticides, and fluoride ions.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Granulation of Hydrometallurgically Synthesized Spinel Lithium Manganese Oxide Using Cross-Linked Chitosan for Lithium Adsorption From Water(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Recepoğlu,Y.K.; Arabacı,B.; Kahvecioğlu,A.; Yüksel,A.A drastic increase in demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems increases lithium (Li) need as a critical metal for the 21st century. Lithium manganese oxides stand out among inorganic adsorbents because of their high capacity, chemical stability, selectivity, and affordability for lithium recovery from aqueous media. This study investigates using hydrometallurgically synthesized lithium manganese oxide (Li1.6Mn1.6O4) in granular form coated with cross-linked chitosan for lithium recovery from water. Characterization methods such as SEM, FTIR, XRD, and BET reveal the successful synthesis of the composite adsorbent. Granular cross-linked chitosan-coated and delithiated lithium manganese oxide (CTS/HMO) adsorbent demonstrated optimal removal efficiency of 86 % at pH 12 with 4 g/L of adsorbent dosage. The Langmuir isotherm at 25 °C, which showed monolayer adsorption with a maximum capacity of 4.94 mg/g, a better fit for the adsorption behavior of CTS/HMO. Adsorption was endothermic and thermodynamically spontaneous. Lithium adsorption followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. © 2024Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Renewable-Based Treatment Solution of Reactive Blue 21 Dye on Fly Ash as Low-Cost and Sustainable Adsorbent(Elsevier, 2024) Kobya, Mehmet; Dolaz, Mustafa; Goren, Aysegul YagmurThis study investigated the removal of Reactive Blue 21 (RB 21) dye from aqueous solutions by adsorption, evaluating the waste fly ash (FA). The effects of the parameters, such as initial dye concentration (100-750 mg/ L), initial pH (2.0-8.0), adsorbent dose (1.0-4.0 g/L), and temperature (298-323 K) on the adsorption process were investigated. The optimum initial pH value was 2.0 for the highest RB21 dye removal (75.2 mg/g). At optimized conditions (pH 2.0, an adsorbent dosage of 1.0 g/L, a dye concentration of 750 mg/L, and an equilibrium time of 72 h), the highest adsorption capacity was found to be 105.2 mg/g. Moreover, the results of the kinetic studies fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Equilibrium data were best represented by the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 103.41 mg/g at 323 K. Delta G0ads values were negative and varied from 11.64 to 9.50 kJ/mol in the temperature range of 298-323 K, the values of enthalpy (Delta Ho ads) and entropy (Delta So ads) of thermodynamics parameters were calculated as 37.62 kJ/mol and 86.67 J/mol K, respectively, indicating that this process was endothermic. Furthermore, the adsorbent costs for powdered activated carbon (PAC) and FA to remove 1 kg of RB 21 dye from aqueous solutions are calculated as 2.52 U.S. $ and 0.34 U.S. $, respectively. It is seen that the cost of FA is approximately 7.4 times lower than PAC. The results showed that FA, a low-cost industrial waste, was promising for the adsorption of RB 21 from aqueous solutions.Article Citation - Scopus: 17Fabrication, Characterization, and Adsorption Applications of Low-Cost Hybride Activated Carbons From Peanut Shell-Vinasse Mixtures by One-Step Pyrolysis(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Arslanoğlu, E.; Eren, M.Ş.A.; Arslanoğlu, H.; Çiftçi, H.The present work aims to develop an innovative, alternative, fast, and cost-effective one-step pyrolysis method for activated carbon production using peanut shell and vinasse mixture. This facile procedure is based on single-step carbonization treatment at a temperature range of 400–800 °C. Different carbonization time (15–360 min), impregnation ratio (1–3 g/g), impregnation time (3–24 h), and nitrogen flow rate (300 and 600 ml/min) were examined. The chemical and physical properties of the activated carbon examined by SEM-EDX, FT-IR analysis, particle size distribution, iodine number, pHzpc, BET surface area, and surface functional group analysis by Boehm’s titration. The results illustrate that the values of BET surface area, total pore volume, average pore diameter, iodine number, pHzpc, and carbon content of activated carbon were found as 1290.5 m2/g, 0.5667 cm3/g, 21.2 Å, 1258.4 mg/g, 5.7, and 86.89%, respectively.

Solid sorbents have been considered as more effective for DAC compared to the liquid counterpart since they have a faster kinetic and avoid volatile and heat losses due to the absence of evaporation of liquids. In this study, the alumina-supported polyethyleneimine (PEI) material was chosen as solid sorbents and their CO2 capture performance for different PEI loadings (20, 35, 50 wt%), flow rate (15, 30, 45 L/h) and adsorption temperatures (30, 40, 50, 60 °C) was investigated. Sorbents were prepared by using wetness impregnation method and their physical and chemical properties were characterized by several techniques such as N2 adsorption-desorption (surface area, pore size and volume), Scanning Electron Microscopy-SEM (surface morphology, surface chemical composition). The CO2 capture performance of sorbents were analyzed under different CO2 concentrations and the cyclic (adsorption-desorption) behavior of the sorbents were tested. The results show that alumina-supported PEI adsorbents are promising materials for CO2 capture with high CO2 adsorption capacity and stability. © 2023 Published by ISRES.Article Citation - Scopus: 7Modification of Grape Pulp With Citric Acid for the Production of Natural Ion Exchanger Resin and Removal of Pb (ii) and Cd (ii) From Aqueous Solutions: Kinetic, Thermodynamics, and Mechanism(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Arslanoğlu, E.; Eren, M.Ş.A.; Arslanoğlu, H.; Çiftçi, H.In this study, grape pulp (MGP) modified with NaOH and citric acid was used in the production of natural ion exchangers. The effects of parameters such as initial pH, MGP dosage, temperature, initial metal ion concentration, and contact time on the removal of Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions from aqueous solutions using modified materials were investigated by batch experiments. It was found that the experimental kinetic data fit the second-order model, and the activation energy for Pb (II) and Cd (II) adsorption processes were 20.68 and 38.61 kj mol−1, respectively. Although the initial adsorption rate increases with increasing temperature, the adsorption efficiency slightly decreases. It was calculated that the equilibrium data fit the Langmuir isotherm better, and the maximum adsorption capacities for Pb (II) and Cd (II) adsorption processes were approximately 1.496 and 1.022 mmol g−1 at 25 °C, respectively. Thermodynamic analysis has shown that the adsorption processes of Pb (II) and Cd (II) are exothermic (ΔH°Pb = −35.68 kj mol−1, ΔH°Cd = −21.19 kj mol−1) and have a self-developing character.

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.

Photocatalytic, adsorption, and membrane filtration methods are suitable in environmental governance because of their high selectivity, low cost, environment-friendly nature, and excellent treatment efficiency. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) quantum dots (QDs) have been considered as photocatalysts, adsorbents, and membrane materials for wastewater treatments, owing to their stability, adsorption capacity, photochemical properties, and low toxicity and cost. This review summarizes g-C3N4 QD synthesis techniques, operating parameters affecting the removal performance in the treatment process, modification effects with other semiconductors, and benefits and drawbacks of g-C3N4 QD-based materials. Furthermore, this review discusses the practical applications of g-C3N4 QDs as adsorbents, photocatalysts, and membrane materials for organic and inorganic contaminant treatments and their value-added product formation potential. Modified g-C3N4 QD-based material adsorbents, photocatalysts, and membranes present potentially applicable effects, such as removal of most waterborne contaminants. Excellent results were obtained for the reduction of methyl orange, bisphenol A, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, phenol, rhodamine B, E. coli, and Hg. Overall, this paper provides comprehensive background on g-C3N4 QD-based materials and their diverse applications in wastewater treatment, and it presents a foundation for the enhancement of similar unique materials in the future.Article Citation - WoS: 49Citation - Scopus: 54Highly Porous Poly(o-Phenylenediamine) Loaded Magnetic Carboxymethyl Cellulose Hybrid Beads for Removal of Two Model Textile Dyes(Springer, 2022) Arıca, Tuğçe Aybüke; Balcı, Fadime Mert; Balcı, Sinan; Arıca, Mehmet YakupEnsuring the removal of complex dyes from wastewater is a topic of great interest as it is vital for the environment. The present study reports a facile preparation method for poly(o-phenylenediamine) [p(o-PDA)] micro-particles loaded to magnetic carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogel beads as adsorbents. The prepared products were characterized by FTIR, TGA, VSM, SEM, BET, and zeta sizer. The Fe3O4@p(o-PDA)@CMC beads were used for the removal of Reactive Blue 4 (RB-4) and Congo Red (CR) textile dyes from an aqueous medium. Different factors, such as adsorbent dose, initial pH, ionic strength, contact time, temperatures, and initial RB-4 and CR concentrations were examined. The maximum adsorption capacities of the RB-4 dye and CR at optimum pH 5 reached 398.7 and 524.6 mg/g in 120 min, respectively. The adsorption of RB-4 and CR on the hybrid magnetic beads can be due to the electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions. Moreover, the magnetic hybrid beads showed easy regeneration ability and good reusability. The adsorbent can be a very good candidate for the efficient removal of micro-pollutant from wastewater.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Novel Hybrid Adsorption-Electrodialysis (aded) System for Removal of Boron From Geothermal Brine(American Chemical Society, 2022) Altınbaş, Bekir Fırat; Orak, Ceren; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Yüksel, AslıA novel hybrid adsorption-electrodialysis (AdED) system to remove environmentally harmful boron from geothermal brine was designed and effective operating parameters such as pH, voltage, and flow rate were studied. A cellulose-based adsorbent was synthesized from glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) grafted cellulose and modified with a boron selective n-methyl-d-glucamine (NMDG) group and characterized with SEM-EDX, FT-IR, and TGA analyses. Batch adsorption studies revealed that cellulose-based adsorbent showed a remarkable boron removal capacity (19.29 mg/g), a wide stable operating pH range (2-10), and an adsorption process that followed the Freundlich isotherm (R2= 0.95) and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2= 0.99). In the hybrid AdED system, the optimum operating parameters for boron removal were found to be a pH of 10, a voltage of 10 V, a flow rate of 100 mL/min, and an adsorbent dosage of 4 g/L. The presence of the adsorbent in the hybrid system increased boron removal from real geothermal brine (containing 199 ppm boron) from 7.2% to 73.3%. The results indicate that the designed AdED system performs better than bare electrodialysis for boron removal from ion-rich real geothermal brine while utilizing environmentally friendly cellulose-based adsorbent.
