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: 32Citation - Scopus: 36A Review of Boron Removal From Aqueous Solution Using Carbon-Based Materials: an Assessment of Health Risks(Elsevier, 2022) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Karagündüz, Ahmet; Khataee, Alireza; Yoon, YeojoonCarbon-based compounds have gained attention of researchers for use in boron removal due to their properties, which make them a viable and low cost adsorbent with a high availability, as well as environmental friendliness and high removal efficiency. The removal of boron utilizing carbon-based materials, including activated carbon (AC), graphene oxide (GO), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), is extensively reviewed in this paper. The effects of the operating conditions, kinetics, isotherm models, and removal methods are also elaborated. The impact of the modification of the lifetime of carbon-based materials has also been explored. Compared to unmodified carbon based materials, modified materials have a significantly higher boron adsorption capability. It has been observed that adding various elements to carbon-based materials improves their surface area, functional groups, and pore volume. Tartaric acid, one of these doped elements, has been employed to successfully improve the boron removal and adsorption capabilities of materials. An assessment of the health risk posed to humans by boron in treated water utilizing carbon-based materials was performed to better understand the performance of materials in real-world applications. Furthermore, the boron removal effectiveness of carbon-based materials was evalu ated, as well as any shortcomings, future perspectives, and gaps in the literature.Article Quaternary Ammonium Functionalized Cellulose for Bromate Ion Removal: Structural Insights and Efficacy Evaluation(Wiley, 2025) Koseoglu, Ecem; Senver, Buse Aleyna; Recepoglu, Yasar Kemal; Arar, OzgurThis 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.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Quaternary Ammonium-Modified Cellulose: a Sustainable Strategy for Purifying Aqueous Solutions Contaminated With Sunset Yellow Dye(Elsevier, 2025) Toprakcurumez, Halil; Recepoglu, Yasar Kemal; Arar, OzgurThis study showcases the remarkable efficacy of quaternary ammonium-modified cellulose as a highly sustainable biosorbent for removing Sunset Yellow (SY) dye from water. Detailed analysis was conducted using infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for structural changes and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for morphological changes. A minimal yet highly effective dose of 0.05 g was identified through dedicated optimization experiments, achieving near-complete removal (99 %) of SY. The biosorbent demonstrated exceptional performance across a broad pH range (2-10), accomplishing remarkable removal within just 5 min. Langmuir modeling uncovered a monolayer sorption mechanism with a high maximum capacity (107.08 mg g- 1), and thermodynamic analysis affirmed the spontaneity and favorability of the sorption process. Noteworthy is the biosorbent's impressive regeneration capabilities (up to 95 %) using 1.0 M NaOH or HCl solutions and its sustained performance over three sorption-regeneration cycles, highlighting its exceptional stability and reusability. The modified cellulose exhibited remarkable resistance to common interfering ions (chloride, nitrate, and sulfate) at 10 and 100 mg L- 1 concentrations. These combined features position quaternary ammonium-modified cellulose as a promising, sustainable, and efficient option for dye wastewater treatment.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 34Insights Into Engineered Graphitic Carbon Nitride Quantum Dots for Hazardous Contaminants Degradation in Wastewater(Elsevier, 2023) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Vatanpour, Vahid; Yoon, Yeojoon; Khataee, AlirezaIncreased environmental pollution is a critical issue that must be addressed. Photocatalytic, adsorption, and membrane filtration methods are suitable in environmental governance because of their high selectivity, low cost, environment-friendly nature, and excellent treatment efficiency. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) quantum dots (QDs) have been considered as photocatalysts, adsorbents, and membrane materials for wastewater treatments, owing to their stability, adsorption capacity, photochemical properties, and low toxicity and cost. This review summarizes g-C3N4 QD synthesis techniques, operating parameters affecting the removal performance in the treatment process, modification effects with other semiconductors, and benefits and drawbacks of g-C3N4 QD-based materials. Furthermore, this review discusses the practical applications of g-C3N4 QDs as adsorbents, photocatalysts, and membrane materials for organic and inorganic contaminant treatments and their value-added product formation potential. Modified g-C3N4 QD-based material adsorbents, photocatalysts, and membranes present potentially applicable effects, such as removal of most waterborne contaminants. Excellent results were obtained for the reduction of methyl orange, bisphenol A, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, phenol, rhodamine B, E. coli, and Hg. Overall, this paper provides comprehensive background on g-C3N4 QD-based materials and their diverse applications in wastewater treatment, and it presents a foundation for the enhancement of similar unique materials in the future.Article Citation - WoS: 40Citation - Scopus: 47Boron in Geothermal Energy: Sources, Environmental Impacts, and Management in Geothermal Fluid(Elsevier, 2022) Mott, A.; Baba, Alper; Hadi Mosleh, Mojgan; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Babaei, Masoud; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Feng, C.; Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Uzelli, Taygun; Uytun, Hüseyin; Morata, Diego; Yüksel Özşen, AslıThe problem of hazardous chemicals in geothermal fluid is a critical environmental concern in geothermal energy developments. Boron is among the hazardous contaminants reported to be present at high concentrations in geothermal fluids in various countries. Poor management and inadequate treatment of geothermal fluids can release excessive boron to the environment that has toxic effects on plants, humans, and animals. Despite the importance of boron management in geothermal fluid, limited and fragmented resources exist that provide a comprehensive understanding of its sources, transport and fate, and the treatment strategies in geothermal energy context. This paper presents the first critical review from a systematic and comprehensive review on different aspects of boron in geothermal fluid including its generation, sources, toxicity, ranges and the management approaches and treatment technologies. Our research highlights the origin of boron in geothermal water to be mainly from historical water-rock interactions and magmatic intrusion. Excessive concentrations of boron in geothermal fluids have been reported (over 500 mg/L in some case studies). Our review indicated that possible boron contamination in geothermal sites are mostly due to flawed construction of production/re-injection wells and uncontrolled discharge of geothermal water to surface water. The dominancy of non-ionic H3BO3 species makes the selection of the suitable treatment method for geothermal waters limited. Combining boron selective resins and membrane technologies, hybrid systems have provided effluents suitable for irrigation. However, their high energy consumption and course structure of boron selective resins encourage further research to develop cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 20Polyoxometalate-Based Hybrid Composites in Multi-Functional Wastewater Treatment Applications(Elsevier, 2023) Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Orooji, Yasin; Vatanpour, Vahid; Kudaibergenov, Nurbolat; Khataee, AlirezaThe inorganic polyanionic clusters known as polyoxometalates (POMs) have several structural variations at the nanoscale scale. They have many uses in chemistry, materials science, medicine, and other fields. This review considers the developments in treating hazardous contaminants from wastewater using POMs-based compounds. Four main treatment methods using POM-based compounds to remove water pollutants have been developed: adsorption, photocatalytic treatment, Fenton-like treatment, and membrane separation. Moreover, we report the types of POMs, synthesis procedures, strategies performed to modify POM-based compounds, and their appli-cations in wastewater treatment. To promote the development of these compounds for large-scale production and real-scale applications, gaps in knowledge and recent research obstacles are also pointed out. Most research on metal organic complexes (MOCs) based on POM has focused on using these compounds as catalysts, with little focus on their additional uses. The adsorption and photocatalytic efficiency of modified POM-based compounds are attributed to their enhanced contaminant removal efficiency, and recovery of certain POM-based compounds by magnetic separation is presented as a promising option for their recyclability. Among the reviewed studies, the highest adsorption capacity was 1108.9 mg/g, with a removal efficiency of 100 % for acid red dye using poly-[N,N-dimethyl-dodecyl-(4-vinylbenzyl)ammonium chloride] (PIL)-POM. The studies also indicate that the POM-based adsorbents could be effectively reused to remove pollutants and sustain their activity in 3-10 cycles. This review is believed to provide an overview of recent advancements in POM-based compounds for water and wastewater treatment, offers thorough research to anyone interested in learning more about this topic, and acts as a manual for researchers working in this area.Article Pvc/Pan-immobilized H2TiO3 Adsorbent: a Tailored Titanium-Based Lithium-Ion Sieve for High-Performance Lithium Recovery(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2025) Recepoglu, Yasar Kemal; Ipek, Onur; Yuksel, AsliThe increasing demand for lithium, driven by the rapid development of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, has created a pressing need for efficient and sustainable lithium recovery technologies. Conventional methods often face challenges related to selectivity, environmental impact, and scalability, necessitating the development of alternative materials. In this study, a polyvinyl chloride/polyacrylonitrile (PVC/PAN)-immobilized titanium-based lithium-ion sieve (HTO) was synthesized for lithium recovery from aqueous media, including geothermal brine. The objective was to obtain a selective, reusable, and mechanically stable adsorbent suitable for industrial-scale applications. The synthesized PVC/PAN-HTO composite was characterized by FT-IR, BET, XRD, and SEM techniques. Batch adsorption studies showed that the optimum lithium recovery occurred at pH 12, with efficiencies of 98.7% in model lithium solutions and 91.6% in geothermal water using a 4 g L-1 adsorbent dosage. Adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model, and the Langmuir isotherm provided the best fit, indicating monolayer adsorption with a maximum capacity of 5.79 mg g-1. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. Reusability tests demonstrated stable performance over three adsorption-desorption cycles, confirming the potential of PVC/PAN-HTO for practical lithium extraction applications.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Sulfonated Cellulose: a Strategy for Effective Methylene Blue Sequestration(Amer Chemical Soc, 2025) Toy, Mustafa; Recepoglu, Yasar Kemal; Arar, OzgurThis study investigates the sulfonation modification of cellulose for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The prepared biosorbent was characterized, and its sorption capacity, kinetics, and thermodynamics were systematically evaluated. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analyzed structural modifications, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examined the surface properties. The optimal sorbent dosage was determined as 0.05 g. MB removal efficiency increased from 11% at pH 1 to 70% at pH 2, reaching 99% within the pH range of 3 to 7. Kinetic studies revealed rapid sorption, achieving 99% removal within 3 min. Among various isotherm models, the Langmuir model provided the best fit (R 2 = 0.9989), indicating monolayer sorption with a maximum capacity of 37.65 mg/g. Thermodynamic analysis showed negative Delta G degrees values, confirming a spontaneous sorption process, while an enthalpy change (Delta H degrees) of -33.5 kJ/mol indicated exothermic behavior. The entropy change (Delta S degrees) of -82.6 J mol-1<middle dot>K-1 suggested decreased disorder during sorption. Regeneration studies demonstrated that 0.2 M HCl combined with ethanol achieved the highest desorption efficiency, and after three cycles, the MB removal efficiency remained above 99%. The presence of -SO3 - groups played a crucial role in MB sorption via ion exchange and may also contribute through hydrogen bonding, thereby enhancing MB sorption. These findings highlight sulfonated cellulose as an efficient and regenerable biosorbent for MB removal, offering valuable insights into its sorption mechanisms.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Cross-Linked Carboxymethyl Cellulose Biosorbent for Zinc Removal: a Sustainable Remediation of Heavy Metal-Polluted Waters(Springer Heidelberg, 2025) Celgan, Dilber; Karadag, Asiye; Karim, Barna Jalaluddin Mohammad; Recepoglu, Yasar Kemal; Arar, OzgurThis study focuses on the preparation and characterization of cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) biosorbent for efficient removal of Zn2(+) ions from aqueous solutions. The microstructural features of the biosorbent were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while elemental analysis was conducted using an elemental analyzer to determine carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S) content. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was employed to identify functional groups within the biosorbent. Sorption experiments revealed that increasing the biosorbent dose led to higher Zn2(+) removal rates until equilibrium was reached. The optimal pH for Zn2(+) removal was determined to be >= 5, attributed to the conversion of acetate group to its ionic form. Rapid kinetics were observed, with 99% removal achieved within 5 min. The biosorbent exhibited a maximum sorption capacity of 10.809 mg/g and a removal rate of 99% at pH 5. Desorption studies demonstrated efficient Zn2(+) recovery using 0.25 M HCl solution, with a total desorption rate exceeding 99%. The findings indicate the potential for cost-effective regeneration of the biosorbent using dilute acid solutions, enhancing its sustainability and practical applicability in water purification processes. Additionally, the biosorbent's selectivity for Zn2(+) ions over competing ions and its effectiveness in treating real water samples, including those containing Na+, K+, Ca2(+), and Mg2(+), highlight its suitability for practical water purification applications.
