Other Corrigendum To “modification of a Montmorillonite–illite Clay Using Alkaline Hydrothermal Treatment and Its Application for the Removal of Aqueous Cs+ Ions” [j. Colloid Interface Sci. 295 (2006) 303–309](Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Öztop, Bahar; Shahwan, TalalUnfortunately, we noticed that Ref. [8], which was cited three times in our article, was mistakenly not cited also in the experimental part as the reference on which we based our hydrothermal treatment process. In light of this, the first paragraph of the experimental section (pages 303 and 304) should read...Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 33Modification of a Montmorillonite-Illite Clay Using Alkaline Hydrothermal Treatment and Its Application for the Removal of Aqueous Cs+ Ions(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Öztop, Bahar; Shahwan, TalalA montmorillonite-illite clay was modified using alkaline hydrothermal treatment (reflux method) and applied to the removal of aqueous Cs+ ions. The alkaline solutions were prepared by dissolving NaOH in seawater and in distilled water, and the effect of the two alkaline media on the sorption capacities of the modified clay was discussed. The modified materials were characterized using XRD, SEM/EDS, and FTIR. As a result of the modification, the original mineral was partially transformed into a zeolitic material with spherical morphology. The results showed that the modification improved the Cs+ uptake capacity of the starting clay, with the clay modified in distilled water medium demonstrating higher sorption capacity. The sorption data were adequately described using the Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models.Letter Citation - WoS: 46Citation - Scopus: 53A Characterization Study of Some Aspects of the Adsorption of Aqueous Co2+ Ions on a Natural Bentonite Clay(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Shahwan, Talal; Erten, Hasan N.; Ünügür, S.The natural bentonite used in this study contained montmorillonite in addition to low cristobalite. The uptake of aqueous Co2+ ions was investigated as a function of time, concentration, and temperature. In addition, the change in the interlayer space of montmorillonite was analyzed using XRPD, and the distribution of fixed Co2+ ions on the heterogeneous clay surface was recorded using EDS mapping. The sorbed amount of Co2+ appeared to closely follow Freundlich isotherm, with the sorption process showing apparent endothermic behavior. The relevance of the apparent Δ Ho values is briefly discussed. Analysis of the Co-sorbed bentonite samples using SEM/EDS showed that the montmorillonite fraction in the mineral was more effective in Co2+ fixation than the cristobalite fraction. XRPD analysis demonstrated that the interlayer space of montmorillonite was slightly modified at the end of sorption.Article Citation - WoS: 211Citation - Scopus: 246A Radiotracer Study of the Adsorption Behavior of Aqueous Ba2+ Ions on Nanoparticles of Zero-Valent Iron(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Çelebi, O.; Üzüm, Çağrı; Shahwan, Talal.; Erten, Hasan NRecently, iron nanoparticles are increasingly being tested as adsorbents for various types of organic and inorganic pollutants. In this study, nanoparticles of zero-valent iron (NZVI) synthesized under atmospheric conditions were employed for the removal of Ba2+ ions in a concentration range 10-3 to 10-6 M. Throughout the study, 133Ba was used as a tracer to study the effects of time, concentration, and temperature. The obtained data was analyzed using various kinetic models and adsorption isotherms. Pseudo-second-order kinetics and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model provided the best correlation with the obtained data. Observed thermodynamic parameters showed that the process is exothermic and hence enthalpy-driven.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Tof-Sims Depth Profiling Analysis of the Uptake of Ba2+ and Co2+ Ions by Natural Kaolinite Clay(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Shahwan, Talal; Erten, Hasan N.; Black, Leon; Allen, Geoffrey CharlesThe sorption behavior of Ba2+ and Co2+ ions on a natural clay sample rich in kaolinite was studied using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Depth profiling at 10-Å steps was performed up to a 70-Å matrix depth of the clay prior to and following sorption. The results showed that Co2+ is sorbed in slightly larger quantities than Ba2+, with significant numbers of ions fixed on the outermost surface of the clay. Depletion of the ions K+, Mg 2+, and Ca2+ from the clay lattice was observed to accompany enrichment with Co2+ and Ba2+ ions. The data obtained using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated insignificant structural and morphological changes in the lattice of the clay upon sorption of both Ba2+ and Co2+ ions. Analysis using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) showed that the average atomic percentage (±S.D.) of Ba and Co on kaolinite surface were 0.49±0.11 and 0.61±0.19, respectively, indicating a limited uptake capacity of natural kaolinite for both ions.Article Citation - WoS: 50Citation - Scopus: 53Physicochemical Characterization of the Retardation of Aqueous Cs+ Ions by Natural Kaolinite and Clinoptilolite Minerals(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Shahwan, Talal; Akar, Dilek; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminThe aim of this study was to carry out kinetic, thermodynamic, and surface characterization of the sorption of Cs+ ions on natural minerals of kaolinite and clinoptilolite. The results showed that sorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The activation energies were 9.5 and 13.9 kJ/mol for Cs+ sorption on kaolinite and clinoptilolite, respectively. Experiments performed at four different initial concentrations of the ion revealed that the percentage sorption of Cs+ on clinoptilolite ranged from 90 to 95, compared to 28 to 40 for the kaolinite case. At the end of a 1 week period, the percentage of Cs+ desorption from clinoptilolite did not exceed 7%, while it amounted to more than 30% in kaolinite, indicating more stable fixation by clinoptilolite. The sorption data were best described using Freundlich and D–R isotherm models. Sorption showed spontaneous and exothermic behavior on both minerals, with ΔH0 being −6.3 and −11.4 kJ/mol for Cs+ uptake by kaolinite and clinoptilolite, respectively. Expanding the kaolinite interlayer space from 0.71 to 1.12 nm using DMSO intercalation, did not yield a significant enhancement in the sorption capacity of kaolinite, indicating that the surface and edge sites of the clay are more energetically favored. EDS mapping and elemental analysis of the surface of kaolinite and clinoptilolite revealed more intense signals on the surface of the latter with an even distribution of sorbed Cs+ onto the surfaces of both minerals.Article Citation - WoS: 120Citation - Scopus: 127Equilibrium, Thermodynamic and Kinetic Studies for the Biosorption of Aqueous Lead(ii), Cadmium(ii) and Nickel(ii) Ions on Spirulina Platensis(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Şeker, Ayşegül; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Yılmaz, Sinan; Demirel, Zeliha; Conk Dalay, MeltemThe biosorption of lead(II), cadmium(II) and nickel(II) ions from aqueous solution by Spirulina platensis was studied as a function of time, concentration, temperature, repetitive reactivity, and ionic competition. The kinetic results obeyed well the pseudo second-order model. Freundlich, Dubinin Radushkevich and Temkin isotherm models were applied in describing the equilibrium partition of the ions. Freundlich isotherm was applied to describe the design of a single-stage batch sorption system. According to the thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG°, ΔH°and ΔS° calculated, the sorption process was endothermic and largely driven towards the products. Sorption activities in a three metal ion system were studied which indicated that there is a relative selectivity of the biosorbent towards Pb2+ ions. The measurements of the repetitive reusability of S. platensis indicated a large capacity towards the three metal ions.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 40Preparation and Characterization of Alumina-Supported Iron Nanoparticles and Its Application for the Removal of Aqueous Cu2+ Ions(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Karabelli, Duygu; Ünal, Semira; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminA composite sorbent of iron nanoparticles and alumina (Al–nZVI) was prepared and applied in the removal of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solutions. Alumina was introduced in a solution of Fe2+ ions, which were then reduced to metallic iron nanoparticles using borohydride ions. The characterization results showed that iron nanoparticles were partially dispersed on alumina surface, with their diameter being in the range 10–80 nm. The uptake experiments were performed at initial Cu2+ concentrations ranging from 10.0 to 500.0 mg/L. The experiments investigated the effects of initial concentration, contact time, and repetitive usage of the Al–nZVI on the extent of removal of Cu2+ ions. The composite sorbent demonstrated fast uptake, and its fixation capacity was 1.50 mmol/g (95.3 mg/g), which is well above that of pure alumina (0.32 mmol/g; 20.3 mg/g).Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 47Aas, Xrpd, Sem/Eds, and Ftir Characterization of Zn2+ Retention by Calcite, Calcite–kaolinite, and Calcite–clinoptilolite Minerals(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Shahwan, Talal; Zünbül, Banu; Tunusoğlu, Özge; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminIn this study, the sorption behavior of Zn2+ on calcite, kaolinite, and clinoptilolite, in addition to mixtures of calcite with kaolinite and clinoptilolite, was investigated at various loadings and mixture compositions using atomic absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared techniques. According to the obtained results, within the experimental operating conditions, the sorption capacity was enhanced with increasing amount of calcite in both types of mixtures. Under neutral–alkaline pH conditions and high loadings, the order of Zn2+ retention was observed as calcite > clinoptilolite > kaolinite. The experiments on the retention of Zn2+ by pure calcite under conditions of oversaturation showed that the uptake process proceeds via an initial adsorption mechanism (possibly ion-exchange type) followed by a slower mechanism that leads to the overgrowth of the hydrozincite phase, Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2.Article Citation - WoS: 163Citation - Scopus: 187Application of Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles for the Removal of Aqueous Co2+ Ions Under Various Experimental Conditions(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Üzüm, Çağrı; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Lieberwirth, Ingo; Scott, Thomas B.; Hallam, Keith R.Nanosized zero-valent iron (nZVI) is increasingly gaining interest as an efficient sorbent for various types of aqueous pollutants. In this study, nZVI was synthesised by the borohydride reduction method, characterised and then examined for the removal of aqueous Co2+ ions over a wide range of concentrations, from 1 to 1000 mg/L. The size of nZVI particles was predominantly within the range of 20–80 nm, and only limited oxidation was observed in samples aged for a period of 2 months. The experiments investigated the effects of V/m ratio, concentration, contact time, repetitive loading, pH and aging on the extent of retardation of Co2+ ions. Iron nanoparticles demonstrated very rapid uptake and large capacity for the removal of Co2+ ions. Effective uptake was observed even after a number of repetitive trials. The extent of Co2+ uptake increased with the increasing pH. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicate that the fixation of Co2+ ions takes place through the interaction of these ions with the oxohydroxyl groups on the iron nanoparticle surfaces in addition to spontaneous precipitate formation at high loadings.
