Article Mn2+ Removal From Water Using a Strong Acidic Shallow Shell Resin: Performance and Response Surface Optimization(Springer, 2026) Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Recepoglu, Y. K.; Ozcan, D. O.; Arar, O.; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe removal of manganese ions (Mn2+) from aqueous solutions using a strong acid cation-exchange resin, Purolite SST60, was investigated in the present study. The influences of resin dosage, temperature, and pH on Mn2(+) removal were optimized using Response Surface Methodology based on a Central Composite Design. Results showed that removal efficiency was highly pH-dependent, increasing from 63% at pH 1.0 to over 99% at pH 3.0 and above. Even with only 0.01 g of resin, 98% removal was achieved, indicating high performance at low dosages. Equilibrium data aligned with the Langmuir isotherm, indicating monolayer sorption with a maximum capacity of 91.06 mg/g. Kinetic data followed a pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed a spontaneous and exothermic process, supported by a negative enthalpy change and positive entropy change, likely due to dehydration of Mn2+ ions upon binding. Competitive ion studies revealed that divalent ions, particularly calcium and magnesium, significantly hinder Mn2+ removal, whereas monovalent ions had minimal impact. Complete desorption of Mn2+ was achieved using hydrochloric or nitric acid at concentrations of 0.5 mol/L and above, confirming the resin's reusability. Overall, Purolite SST60 offers an efficient, regenerable, and robust solution for manganese removal in water treatment applications.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Analytical Improvement on the Electromagnetic Scattering From Deformed Spherical Conducting Objects(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021) Kuştepeli, Alp; Kuştepeli, Alp; Çetin, Zebih; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this paper, electromagnetic scattering from con-ducting deformed spheres is considered analytically by employing the perturbation method and utilizing Debye potentials. To be able to analyze a wide variety of scattering problems, azimuthal variation is indispensable and therefore the geometries of the scatterers considered in this study do not have rotational symmetry, hence they are dependent on the θ and φ angles in spherical coordinates. Analyses are carried up to the second order explicitly to obtain more accurate results and thus scattered fields are obtained with second order corrections. The coefficients used to determine the scattered field are expressed in terms of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, which enables one to obtain the results for new geometries only by simple algebraic manipulations. Numerical results and their comparisons are also presented for various deformation functions and parameters. IEEE
