Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 40Biosorption of Cu(ii) and Pb(ii) Ions From Aqueous Solution by Natural Spider Silk(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Pelit, Levent; Ertaş, Fatma Nil; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, Talal; Tural, H.Aside from its excellent mechanical properties, spider silk (SS) would offer an active surface for heavy metal interaction due to its rich protein structure. The present study describes the potential use of natural (SS) as a sorbent of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Single and multi-species biosorption experiments of heavy metals by natural SS were conducted using batch and column experiments. The biosorption kinetics, in general, was found to follow the second-order rate expression, and the experimental equilibrium biosorption data fitted reasonably well to Freundlich isotherm. From the Freundlich isotherm, the biosorption capacities of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions onto SS were found as 0.20 and 0.007mmolg -1, respectively. The results showed a decrease in the extent of metal ion uptake with lowering the pH.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Neutralization of an Extremely Acidic Sludge and Stabilization of Heavy Metals in Flyash Aggregates(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Polat, Mehmet; Güler, Erkan; Lederman, Eli; Cohen, HaimAn extremely acidic, heavy metal-rich sludge (pH = -1.2) was scrubbed with a Class-F fly ash in order to simultaneously neutralize the acidity and stabilize the heavy metals contained in both wastes. This paper outlines the leaching behavior of the aggregate material generated by scrubbing. For proper fly ash/sludge ratios, the fly ash acted as an outstanding neutralizer for the acidic waste. Leaching of heavy metals from the aggregate samples was below the environmental limits within a pH range between 3 and 9. Subsequent washing of the leached aggregate with acidic CALWET solutions did not result in an additional release of heavy metals. It is proposed that coordinative bonding of the metal cations onto neutral surface sites and electrostatic adsorption led to stabilization of the heavy metals within the aggregate structure below hydrolysis pHs.Article Citation - WoS: 259Citation - Scopus: 284Heavy Metal Removal From Waste Waters by Ion Flotation(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Polat, Hürriyet; Erdoğan, D.Flotation studies were carried out to investigate the removal of heavy metals such as copper (II), zinc (II), chromium (III) and silver (I) from waste waters. Various parameters such as pH, collector and frother concentrations and airflow rate were tested to determine the optimum flotation conditions. Sodium dodecyl sulfate and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide were used as collectors. Ethanol and methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) were used as frothers. Metal removal reached about 74% under optimum conditions at low pH. At basic pH it became as high as 90%, probably due to the contribution from the flotation of metal precipitates.
