Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Synthesis of a Novel Cellulose-Based Adsorbent From Olive Tree Pruning Waste for Removal of Boron From Aqueous Solution(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Altınbaş, B.F.; Yüksel, A.This work investigated the valorization of olive tree pruning debris as a biosorbent for the removal of environmentally hazardous boron from aqueous solution using batch adsorption. 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.

This facile procedure is based on single-step carbonization treatment at a temperature range of 400-800 degrees 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, pH(zpc), 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, pH(zpc), and carbon content of activated carbon were found as 1290.5 m(2)/g, 0.5667 cm(3)/g, 21.2 angstrom, 1258.4 mg/g, 5.7, and 86.89%, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 16Synthesis, Characterization and Adsorption Studies of Phosphorylated Cellulose for the Recovery of Lithium From Aqueous Solutions(Editura Acad Romane, 2021) Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Yüksel, AslıIn this study, pristine cellulose was functionalized by the phosphorylation reaction to make it suitable for lithium separation. After characterization studies of the synthesized adsorbent with SEM, EDX, FTIR, TGA and XPS, the effects of various parameters on the lithium uptake capacity of the adsorbent were examined. The analysis of equilibrium data by several adsorption models showed that maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was found to be 9.60 mg/g at 25 degrees C by the Langmuir model. As initial concentration and contact time increased, adsorption capacity also increased, however, mild temperature (25-35 degrees C) and pH (5-6) were better for the adsorption of lithium. 80% of lithium adsorption within three minutes proved the fast kinetic nature of the adsorbent. A 99.5% desorption efficiency of lithium was achieved with 0.5 M H2SO4, among HCl and NaCl with different molarities. Phosphorylated cellulose was shown to be a favorable adsorbent for the recovery of lithium from aqueous solutions.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Adsorption Kinetics of Methane Reformer Off-Gases on Aluminum Based Metal-Organic Framework(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Angı, Deniz; Çakıcıoğlu Özkan, Seher FehimeSolvothermal synthesis of aluminum based metal-organic frameworks (MIL-53(Al)s) were conducted by considering the effects of crystallization and activation temperatures, and the solvent at purification step. Adsorption kinetics of Steam Methane Reformer off gas components at 34, 70 and 100 °C temperatures was measured by using ZLC method. Henry constant decreases as diffusion coefficient of the gases increases with increasing temperature; It was determined that the CO gas has the highest activation energy. Adsorption kinetics of gases were controlled with electrostatic interaction. © 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
