Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Breakthrough Curve Analysis of Phosphorylated Hazelnut Shell Waste in Column Operation for Continuous Harvesting of Lithium From Water(Elsevier, 2024) Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Arar, Ozguer; Yuksel, AsliIn batch-scale operations, biosorption employing phosphorylated hazelnut shell waste (FHS) revealed excellent lithium removal and recovery efficiency. Scaling up and implementing packed bed column systems necessitates further design and performance optimization. Lithium biosorption via FHS was investigated utilizing a continuous-flow packed-bed column operated under various flow rates and bed heights to remove Li to ultra-low levels and recover it. The Li biosorption capacity of the FHS column was unaffected by the bed height, however, when the flow rate was increased, the capacity of the FHS column decreased. The breakthrough time, exhaustion time, and uptake capacity of the column bed increased with increasing column bed height, whereas they decreased with increasing influent flow rate. At flow rates of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 mL/min, bed volumes (BVs, mL solution/mL biosorbent) at the breakthrough point were found to be 477, 369, and 347, respectively, with the required BVs for total saturation point of 941, 911, and 829, while the total capacity was calculated as 22.29, 20.07, and 17.69 mg Li/g sorbent. In the 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 cm height columns filled with FHS, the breakthrough times were 282, 366, and 433 min, respectively, whereas the periods required for saturation were 781, 897, and 1033 min. The three conventional breakthrough models of the Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Modified Dose-Response (MDR) were used to properly estimate the whole breakthrough behavior of the FHS column and the characteristic model parameters. Li's extremely favorable separation utilizing FHS was evidenced by the steep S-shape of the breakthrough curves for both parameters flow rate and bed height. The reusability of FHS was demonstrated by operating the packed bed column in multi-cycle mode, with no appreciable loss in column performance.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 13The Influence of Binder Content on the Water Transport Properties of Waterborne Acrylic Paints(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Topçuoğlu, Özge; Yürekli, Yılmaz; Balköse, DevrimDiffusion coefficients and sorption isotherms of water in waterborne acrylic paint films and in the pure binder of the paints have been measured by gravimetric sorption. Solubility of water was found to enhance with the increased binder content in the paint films while the diffusivity of water decreased significantly. Sorption isotherms in the paint and pure copolymer films were correlated with the Flory Huggins theory and ENSIC model, respectively. Fickian diffusion was observed in both types of films and the kinetic data were best correlated with a numerical model which takes into account the concentration dependency of the diffusion coefficient and the dimensional change of the film due to sorption. It was concluded that the utilization of a simplified analytical solution may lead to significant errors in the estimation of diffusivities. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Sorption and Diffusion of Water Vapour on Edible Films(Springer Verlag, 2008) Berkün, Didem; Balköse, Devrim; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Alsoy Altınkaya, SacideTwo types of films consisting of sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) as film forming materials and glycerin as plasticizer were prepared, characterized and their water vapour sorption properties were determined. The water sorption isotherms of the films were measured using a magnetic suspension balance. Results show that diffusion of water vapour in NaCMC based film is faster than that in HPC based films, due to the heterogeneous structure and larger pore dimensions of the NaCMC films.Article Citation - WoS: 26Citation - Scopus: 28Influence of Swelling and Diffusion-Induced Convection on Polymer Sorption Processes(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2002) Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Duda, John LarryUnsteady-state sorption of a vapor or liquid by a polymer is modeled to include the influence of the moving phase boundary associated with the polymer swelling and diffusion-induced convection. A formulation presented clearly elucidates the influence of these two effects on the overall sorption process. Numerical solutions of the model equations indicate the errors that can be induced when swelling or convection are neglected. For most polymer-solvent systems, the influence of the diffusion-induced convection associated with volume changes in mixing can be neglected in the analysis of sorption processes. In contrast, the correction for the moving boundary or swelling of the polymer phase can be quite significant, particularly when a large step change in solvent concentration is considered.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Chitosan-Immobilized Pumice for the Removal of As(v) From Waters(Springer Verlag, 2014) Turan, Dilek; Kocahakimoğlu, Cemre; Boyacı, Ezel; Sofuoğlu, Sait Cemil; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminA novel sorbent, chitosan-immobilized pumice, has been prepared for the sorption of As(V) from waters prior to its determination by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry. The success of the immobilization has been checked with such characterization techniques as scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and elemental analysis. Points of zero charge of the sorbents were determined with potentiometric mass titration. Batch-type equilibration studies have shown that the novel sorbent can be employed at a wide pH range resulting in quantitative sorption (>90 %) at pH 3.0-7.0 and greater than 70 % sorption at pH >8.0. These results demonstrate the advantage of immobilizing chitosan onto pumice, because, under the same conditions, pumice displays <20 % sorption toward As(V), whereas chitosan gives approximately 90%sorption only at pH 3.0. The validity of the method was verified through the analysis of ultrapure, bottled drinking, and tap water samples spiked with arsenate; the respective sorption percentages of 93.2 (±0.7), 89.0 (±1.0), and 80.9 (±1.3) were obtained by batch-type equilibration. Arsenic sorption was also examined in the presence of common interfering ions resulting in competing effects of PO3- 4 and NO- 3on As(V) adsorption.
