    Novel Hybrid Adsorption-Electrodialysis (aded) System for Removal of Boron From Geothermal Brine
    (American Chemical Society, 2022) Altınbaş, Bekir Fırat; Orak, Ceren; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Yüksel, Aslı
    A novel hybrid adsorption-electrodialysis (AdED) system to remove environmentally harmful boron from geothermal brine was designed and effective operating parameters such as pH, voltage, and flow rate were studied. A cellulose-based adsorbent was synthesized from glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) grafted cellulose and modified with a boron selective n-methyl-d-glucamine (NMDG) group and characterized with SEM-EDX, FT-IR, and TGA analyses. Batch adsorption studies revealed that cellulose-based adsorbent showed a remarkable boron removal capacity (19.29 mg/g), a wide stable operating pH range (2-10), and an adsorption process that followed the Freundlich isotherm (R2= 0.95) and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2= 0.99). In the hybrid AdED system, the optimum operating parameters for boron removal were found to be a pH of 10, a voltage of 10 V, a flow rate of 100 mL/min, and an adsorbent dosage of 4 g/L. The presence of the adsorbent in the hybrid system increased boron removal from real geothermal brine (containing 199 ppm boron) from 7.2% to 73.3%. The results indicate that the designed AdED system performs better than bare electrodialysis for boron removal from ion-rich real geothermal brine while utilizing environmentally friendly cellulose-based adsorbent.

    Packed Bed Column Dynamic Study for Boron Removal From Geothermal Brine by a Chelating Fiber and Breakthrough Curve Analysis by Using Mathematical Models
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Kabay, Nalan; Yılmaz İpek, İdil; Arda, Müşerref; Yüksel, Mithat; Yoshizuka, Kazuharu; Nishihama, Syouhei
    In this study, the performance of N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG) type functional group attached a novel boron selective chelating fiber adsorbent, Chelest Fiber GRY-HW, was investigated for boron removal from geothermal brine containing 10–11 mg B/L through a packed bed column. The effect of feed flow rate (Space Velocity, SV) on breakthrough capacity of Chelest Fiber GRY-HW was studied using various SV values (15, 20 and 30 h−1). The effect of SV on breakthrough capacity was particularly apparent when SV was decreased from 30 to 15 h−1. Yoon–Nelson, Thomas and Modified Dose Response (MDR) models were applied to the experimental data to estimate the breakthrough curves and model parameters such as rate constants and breakthrough times. The obtained results showed that the breakthrough curves were better described by Modified Dose Response (MDR) model than those described by Yoon-Nelson and Thomas models in each case. Also, the model estimations for adsorption capacity obtained by MDR model agreed well with the experimental results.
