    Quaternary Ammonium Functionalized Cellulose for Bromate Ion Removal: Structural Insights and Efficacy Evaluation
    (Wiley, 2025) Koseoglu, Ecem; Senver, Buse Aleyna; Recepoglu, Yasar Kemal; Arar, Ozgur
    This study evaluates the potential of quaternary ammonium-modified cellulose as a biosorbent for bromate (BrO3-) removal from aqueous solutions. Elemental analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterized the elemental composition and microstructural features of the biosorbent, whereas Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy elucidated its molecular structure. Experimental results revealed that BrO3- removal efficiency increased with the biosorbent dose, achieving approximately 58%, 78%, and 90% removal with 0.025, 0.05, and 0.2 g of sorbent, respectively. The removal was pH-dependent, with efficiencies of 25%, 45%, and 76% at pH 2, 4, and 10, respectively, and the optimal removal was within the pH range of 6-8. Kinetic studies demonstrated rapid sorption, achieving 91% removal within 3 min. The Langmuir sorption isotherm model provided an excellent fit to the experimental data (R 2 = 0.9987), indicating a maximum sorption capacity of 9.40 mg/g. Thermodynamic analyses confirmed a spontaneous and endothermic sorption process (triangle G degrees = -8.11 kJ/mol; triangle H degrees = +2.22 kJ/mol). Desorption studies showed >= 99.9% efficiency using 0.1-M H2SO4 and NaCl, with NaCl selected as the preferred regenerant to minimize acid consumption. The biosorbent retained over 90% removal efficiency across three regeneration cycles. These findings highlight the potential of quaternary ammonium-modified cellulose as a sustainable and efficient material for BrO3- removal from water systems.

    Biosorption of Methylene Blue From Water by Live Lemna Minor
    (Elsevier, 2021) Can Terzi, Begüm; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Sofuoğlu, Sait Cemil
    A number of green treatment technologies have been used for textile wastewater treatment, among which phytoremediation is a low cost, effective, and promising alternative - to conventional treatment techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate performance of Lemna minor (L. minor) for phytoremediation of Methylene Blue (MB). A Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD) was applied to study individual and combined effect of operating parameters on MB dye removal efficiency: MB dye concentration (x(1): 5 - 25 mgL(-1)), amount of L. minor (x(2): 1 - 5 g), and pH of the solution (x(3): 4.5 - 9.0). Response surface analysis and response model were utilized to reveal the relationship between operating parameters and MB removal efficiency. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyses of L. minor samples were used to infer on the removal mechanism. The predicted optimum values were x(1) = 15 mgL(-1), x(2) = 4.9 g, and x(3) = 6.8, for the highest removal efficiency (98%) within 24 h. FTIR and SEM analyses indicated that the dye removal mechanism was mainly biosorption. Desorption experiments revealed that L. minor released only a small fraction of the sorbed dye. Consequently, in addition to being environmental friendly and cost effective, results of this study show that L. minor can be effectively used for MB dye removal from wastewaters while adding to the pertinent but limited literature by presenting its applicability in wider operating parameter ranges, maximization of removal efficiency through experimental design, and evidence that biosorption is a plausible mechanism.
