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.Master Thesis Characterization of the Adsorption Behaviour of Aqueous Cd (ii) and Ni (ii) Ions on Nanoparticles of Zero-Valent Iron(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008) Efecan, Nazlı; Shahwan, Talal; Shahwan, TalalIron nanotechnology is recently concieved as a promising tool in environmental remediation. By virtue of their high surface/volume ratio, iron nanoparticles were shown to demonstrate outstanding sequestration capacity for various organic and inorganic pollutants.In this work iron nanoparticles were synthesized using the borohydride-reduction method. The obtained material showed chain like morphology, with the diameter of the nanoparticles being with in 20-80 nm range. HR-TEM images showed that the nanoparticles have a core-shell structure, with the core containing iron in its zero-valent state, while the shell is composed of iron oxides (Fe2O3, Fe3O4, FeOOH)and is generally < 3 nm in thickness.Nano-sized zero valent iron (nZVI) was then tested as a sorbent material for aqueous Cd2+ and Ni2+ ions. The uptake of these ions was investigated under various experimental conditions like time, concentration, pH, repititive application, and liquid/solid ratios. In addition, the uptake of these ions was compared with that of Cu2+, Zn2+, and Sr2+ in order to assess the effect of the reduction potential on the extent of removal.The results showed that nZVI is a very effective sorbent in terms of both kinetics and capacity of removal of the ions. Under the investigated conditions, the uptake reached equilibrium in less than one hour of contact time. Up to the initial concentration of 500 mg/L, the ions were removed almost completely utilizing an nZVI amount of 0.025 g and a solution volume of 10 ml. According to XRD and XPS results, both of Cd2+ and Ni2+ ions were fixed by nZVI through a non-reductive mechanism, that seems to be dominated by interaction of these ions with the exposed iron oxyhydroxide groups at the interface with the solution.Article Citation - WoS: 78Citation - Scopus: 83Synthesis, Characterization and Application of a Novel Sorbent, Glucamine-Modified Mcm-41, for the Removal/Preconcentration of Boron From Waters(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Kaftan, Öznur; Açıkel, Müge; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, Talal; Artok, Levent; Ni, ChaoyingA novel sorbent was prepared by the functionalization of an inorganic support material, MCM-41, with N-methylglucamine for the uptake of boron from aqueous solutions prior to its determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES). Characterization of the newly synthesized material was performed using BET, XRD, TEM, SEM and DRIFTS techniques, in addition to its C and N elemental content. Sorption behavior of the novel sorbent for boron was also investigated and found to obey Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) isotherm models. The maximum amount of B (as H3BO3) that can be sorbed by the sorbent was calculated from the D–R isotherm and was found to be 0.8 mmol B g−1 of sorbent. The applicability of the new sorbent for the removal/preconcentration of boron from aqueous samples was examined by batch method. It was found that the sorbent can take up 85% of boron in 5 min whereas quantitative sorption is obtained in 30 min. Any pH greater than 6 can be used for sorption. Desorption from the sorbent was carried out using 1.0 M HNO3. The sorption efficiency of the new sorbent was also compared to that of Amberlite IRA 743, a commercial resin with N-methylglucamine functional groups. Within the experimental conditions employed, the new sorbent was found to have higher sorption efficiency than the commercial resin. For method validation, spike recovery tests were performed at various concentration levels in different water types and were found to be between 83–95 and 75–92% for ultra pure water and geothermal water, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 55Incorporation of Iron Nanoparticles Into Clinoptilolite and Its Application for the Removal of Cationic and Anionic Dyes(Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry, 2015) Nairat, Muath; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Fuchs, HaraldThis study reports the preparation of composite sorbents of iron nanoparticles (nZVI) and clinoptilolite at various iron/clinoptilolite ratios. The composites were characterized using various characterization techniques. The material was used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) as model cationic and anionic dyes. The experiments investigated the effects of time, loading, initial pH, reusability, and temperature on the removal process. According to the results, Cl-nZVI showed fast and quantitative removal over a wide range of concentrations. The removal process was endothermic in nature, and the composite demonstrated reusability for several trials.Article Citation - WoS: 83Citation - Scopus: 97Characterization of the Uptake of Aqueous Ni2+ Ions on Nanoparticles of Zero-Valent Iron (nzvi)(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Efecan, Nazlı; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Lieberwirth, IngoThis study investigates the fixation of aqueous Ni2+ ions by nanoparticles of zero-valent iron (nZVI) prepared using the borohydride reduction method. The uptake of Ni2+ was tested under various experimental conditions like initial concentration, time, pH, and repetitive application of nZVI. Part of the experiments was devoted to comparing the extent of uptake of Ni2+ ions with those of Cu2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, and Sr2+ ions, which belong to a wide range of standard reduction potentials. Particle size analysis of nZVI in aqueous solution indicated that the material suffered extensive aggregation, much above the extent of aggregation known for dry nZVI. Nevertheless, nZVI showed fast uptake kinetics and very high uptake capacity. The overall results demonstrated the high fixation capability of nZVI towards the studied transition metal ions in aqueous solution. The same conclusion is, however, not valid for the removal of Sr2+ ions.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 29Characterization of Sr2+ Uptake on Natural Minerals of Kaolinite and Magnesite Using Xrpd, Sem/Eds, Xps, and Drift(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2005) Shahwan, Talal; Erten, Hasan N.The sorption behavior of Sr2+ ions on natural minerals rich in kaolinite and magnesite was studied using SEM/EDS, XPS, XRPD, AAS/AES and DRIFT techniques. Quantitative analysis of the XPS data shows that magnesite is more effective in Sr2+ uptake than kaolinite. DRIFT spectra and XRPD patterns indicate that the structures of both minerals were not affected upon Sr2+ sorption. Intercalation of DMSO in kaolinite lamellae aiming at increasing the interlayer space did not significantly enhance the sorption capacity of the clay towards Sr2+ probably due to the lack of a negative charge on the accessible sites. EDS mapping indicated that while the sorbed Sr is equally distributed on surface of natural kaolinite, it was associated - to a larger extent - with the regions richer in Mg in the case of natural magnesite. Comparing the uptake mechanisms of natural magnesite with that of pure MgCO3, it was seen that while natural magnesite sorbed Sr2+ mainly through an ion exchange type mechanism, the formation of SrCO3 coprecipitate was detected on the surface of the MgCO 3 at higher loadings.Article Citation - WoS: 46Synthesis, Characterization and Application of a Novel Mercapto- and Amine-Bifunctionalized Silica for Speciation/Sorption of Inorganic Arsenic Prior To Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometric Determination(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Boyacı, Ezel; Çağır, Ali; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminA bifunctional sorbent, (NH2 + SH)silica, containing both amine and mercapto functionalities was prepared by modification of silica gel with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylamine and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane. In addition to the bifunctional sorbent, silica gel was modified individually with the functional mercapto- and amino-silanes, and the mono-functional sorbents, namely (SH)silica and (NH2)silica, were also mechanically mixed ((NH2)silica + (SH)silica) for the sake of comparison of sorption performances. It has been demonstrated that (SH)silica shows quantitative sorption only to As(III) at two pH values, 1.0 and 9.0, while (NH2)silica displays selectivity only towards As(V) at pH 3.0. On the other hand, the bifunctional (NH2 + SH)silica possesses the efficient features of the two mono-functionalized sorbents; for example, it retains As(III) at a wider pH range, from 1.0 to at least 9.0 with the exception at pH 2.0, and it also shows quantitative sorption to As(V) at pH 3.0. This property gives the bifunctional (NH2 + SH)silica a better flexibility in terms of sorption performance as a function of solution pH. The mechanically mixed (NH2)silica + (SH)silica exhibits a similar but less efficient sorption behavior compared to the bifunctional sorbent. Desorption of both As(III) and As(V) species can be realized using 0.5 M NaOH. The validity of the proposed method was checked through the analysis of a standard reference material and a good correlation was obtained between the certified (26.67 μg L−1) and determined (27.53 ± 0.37 μg L−1) values. Spike recovery tests realized with ultrapure water (93.0 ± 2.3%) and drinking water (86.9 ± 1.2%) also confirmed the applicability of the method.Article Citation - WoS: 62Citation - Scopus: 60Preconcentration and Atomic Spectrometric Determination of Rare Earth Elements (rees) in Natural Water Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Pasinli, Türker; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, TalalThe usage of a variety of sorbents has been shown as promising matrix removal/preconcentration strategies for the determination of rare earth elements (REEs) in various natural water samples by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The sorption efficiency of various zeolites (clinoptilolite, mordenite, zeolite Y, zeolite Beta), ion-exchangers (Amberlite CG-120, Amberlite IR-120, Rexyn 101, Dowex 50W X18) and chelating resins (Muromac, Chelex 100, Amberlite IRC-718) towards REEs was investigated in terms of solution pH, shaking time and sorbent amount. The results have shown that most of the materials can take up REEs at a wide pH range. The experiments were continued with clinoptilolite, zeolite Y and Chelex 100 and it was demonstrated that all three materials displayed very fast kinetics for REE sorption (higher than 96% in 1 min). Desorption from the sorbents was realized with 2.0 M HNO3 for clinoptilolite and 0.1 M HNO3 for zeolite Y and Chelex 100. Only the lower concentration range (0.01–2.0 mg l−1) of matrix-matched standards were used in quantitation although the calibration graphs were linear at least up to 10.0 mg l−1 for all REEs studied. The limit of detection (3 s) without preconcentration was 0.1, 1.0, and 0.2 μg l−1 for Eu, La, and Yb, respectively. The validity of the method with the selected sorbents was checked through spike recovery experiments.Article Citation - WoS: 69Citation - Scopus: 77Morphosynthesis of Caco3 at Different Reaction Temperatures and the Effects of Pdda, Ctab, and Edta on the Particle Morphology and Polymorph Stability(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Altay, E.; Shahwan, Talal; Tanoğlu, MetinFacile precipitation of CaCO3 was performed using aqueous solutions of CaCl2 with Na2CO3 over a wide range of mixing and aging temperatures. The precipitation process was then repeated in the presence of PDDA, CTAB, and EDTA at the mixing temperatures of 30 °C, 50 °C, 70 °C, and 90 °C. The presence of these additives was seen to greatly suppress the formation of aragonite. Among these additives, EDTA was the one that showed the most prominent effects on particle morphology of CaCO3. The sequence of pH adjustment appeared to be a critical factor for the additive functionality.Article Citation - WoS: 109Citation - Scopus: 124Chitosan Fiber-Supported Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles as a Novel Sorbent for Sequestration of Inorganic Arsenic(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Nairat, Muath; Shahwan, TalalThis study proposes a new sorbent for the removal of inorganic arsenic from aqueous solutions. Monodispersed nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles were nucleated at the surface of electrospun chitosan fibers (average fiber diameter of 195 ± 50 nm) by liquid phase reduction of FeCl3 using NaBH4. The material was characterized using SEM, TGA, XPS, XRD, and FTIR. The diameter of iron nanoparticles was found to vary between 75-100 nm. A set of batch experiments were carried out to elucidate the efficiency of the composite sorbent toward fixation of arsenite and arsenate ions. The ion concentrations in the supernatant solutions were determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results revealed that the chitosan fiber supported nZVI particles is an excellent sorbent material for inorganic arsenic uptake at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 5.00 mg L -1 over a wide range of pH values. Based on XPS analysis, As(iii) was found to undergo oxidation to As(v) upon sorption, while As(v) retained its oxidation state. By virtue of the successful combination of the electrospun fibers' mechanical integrity and the large reactivity of dispersed nZVI particles, the applicability of the resulting sorbent material in arsenic sorption holds broad promise.
