    Effect of Fomes Fomentarius Cultivation Conditions on Its Adsorption Performance for Anionic and Cationic Dyes
    (American Chemical Society, 2022) Henning, Laura M.; Simon, Ulla; Abdullayev, Amanmyrat; Schmidt, Bertram; Pohl, Carsten; Nunez Guitar, Tamara; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Meyer, Vera; Bekheet, Maged F.; Gurlo, Aleksander
    Lab-cultivated mycelia of Fomes fomentarius (FF), grown on a solid lignocellulose medium (FF-SM) and a liquid glucose medium (FF-LM), and naturally grown fruiting bodies (FF-FB) were studied as biosorbents for the removal of organic dyes methylene blue and Congo red (CR). Both the chemical and microstructural differences were revealed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential analysis, and scanning electron microscopy, illuminating the superiority of FF-LM and FF-SM over FF-FB in dye adsorption. The adsorption process of CR on FF-LM and FF-SM is best described by the Redlich-Peterson model with β constants close to 1, that is, approaching the monolayer Langmuir model, which reach maximum adsorption capacities of 48.8 and 13.4 mg g-1, respectively, in neutral solutions. Adsorption kinetics follow the pseudo-second-order model where chemisorption is the rate-controlling step. While the desorption efficiencies were low, adsorption performances were preserved and even enhanced under simulated dye effluent conditions. The results suggest that F. fomentarius can be considered an attractive biosorbent in industrial wastewater treatment and that its cultivation conditions can be specifically tailored to tune its cell wall composition and adsorption performance.

    Polarized Absorption Spectra of Highly Oriented Two-Dimensional Aggregates of Tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine in Thin Films
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Özçelik, Serdar; Gülen, Demet
    Reaching a control on the mesoscopic morphology and internal molecular arrangement of cyanine aggregates is an important step for realization of devices with tailor-made optical properties. Despite a wealth of research, understanding of the relationship between molecular organization, excitonic states and dynamics of aggregates is still preliminary. To this end, we have employed polarized absorption spectroscopy to investigate the relationship between internal molecular organization and excitonic states of J-aggregates in 1,1′,3,3′tetraethyl-5,5′,6,6′-tetrachlorobenzimidazolocarbocyanine (TTBC) thin films in poly-vinyl alcohol (PVA). Angular dependence of the UV-vis spectra has been measured at 11 different orientations between the electric field polarization and the macroscopic alignment axis. Aggregate spectral response consisted of an asymmetrically split Davydov pair of bands exhibiting opposite polarization: an H-band (505 nm, Lorentzian-like, polarized along the macroscopic film axis) and a J-band (594 nm, one-dimensional J-aggregate like band shape, polarized perpendicular to the macroscopic film axis). The polarized absorption observations were found to be consistent with a herringbone model for which the internal molecular arrangement, the excited state structure and dynamics have recently been detailed by us upon interpretation of isotropic absorption data in ionic aqueous solution.
