    Synthesis and characterization of chitosan-based pH-sensitive biofilm: An experimental design approach for release of vitamin B12

    Onal, Ali; Demir, Hulya; Ince, Olcay Kaplan; Ince, Muharrem

    Hydrogels because of their unique potentials, such as highwater content and hydrophilicity, are of interest for the controlled release of drug molecules. In the present study, a biofilm was produced using chitosan, a natural polymer. Characterization analyses of the synthesized biofilm were performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry. The analysis results of the film before loading were compared to the analysis made after adding vitamin B12 to the film. The release percentage of vitamin B12 was investigated by using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometery. The FT-IR bands of vitamin B12 were in the range of 2,800-3,500 cm-1 and 1,000 cm-1-1,750 cm-1. When pH increased from 3 to 7, release of vitamin B12 from the biopolymer increased up to pH 5. While examining the release potential, parameters, such as pH, initial concentration of vitamin B12, release time, and solution volume, were optimized by using response surface methodology. It was determined that with the increase in release time and the initial concentration, pH contributed positively to the release of vitamin B12. The following conditions were determined for release of vitamin B12 from the biofilm: pH: 4.2, initial concentration of vitamin B12: 54.0 mg L-1, the release time: 117 min, and volume of solution: 2.1 mL. The analysis of variance results showed that the determination coefficients for the use of synthesized biofilm in vitamin B12 release were high and R2 =0.9704.

    Ince, Muharrem; Ince, Olcay Kaplan; Alp, Hevidar

    In the present study, a fixed-bed column study was performed using a novel biocomposite mate-rial, Amanita vaginata immobilized on Amberlite XAD-4 resin, to find out the adsorption behavior of nickel (Ni2+) ions from industrial wastewater. The influence of some important operating conditions including pH (3–7), biocomposite material amount (150–250 mg (XAD-4:Amanita vaginata, 5:1)) influent flow rate (4–8 mL min–1) besides Ni2+ ions initial concentration (20–40 mg L–1) on the uptake of Ni2+ solution were also optimized using a synthetic water solution. A central composite design combined with response surface methodology was utilized to maximize Ni2+ ions removal using A. vaginata immobilized on Amberlite XAD-4 resin as a biocomposite material in a column biosorption process. A mathematical model was derived from the central composite design approach for predicting responses and analysis of variance. Also, for checking model adequacy a lack of fit test was carried out. It was determined that the checked and proposed quadratic model was derived from the experimental design data. The biocomposite material adsorption capacity was calculated as 6.28 mg g–1. A high coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.9887) was presented by analysis of variance. Results confirmed that the amount of adsorbed Ni2+ amount did not change with the increase of the flow rate ratio and dose when the initial concentration of Ni2+ ions increased. The maximum adsorp-tion capacity of biocomposite material was achieved at 6.9 pH, 150.1 mg of biocomposite material amount, 7.8 mL min–1 of solution flow rate, and 39.7 mg L–1 of Ni2+ ions initial concentration. Finally, the developed method was applied to industrial wastewater to determine Ni2+ ions concentrations.

    Ince, Olcay Kaplan; Alp, Hevidar; Ince, Muharrem; Onal, Ali

    In the present study, a novel biosorbent, namely Agaricus campestris, was used for the removal of Methylene Blue (MB) from an aqueous medium. The biosorbent was characterized using fourier-transform infrared spectrometer spectra, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray, and thermogravimetric analysis. The influence of important process parameters including pH (4–7), temperature (25°C–35°C), contact time (15–25 min), and biosorbent amount (40–80 mg) on the uptake of MB solution were also optimized, which significantly affected the removal efficiency of MB. A central composite design (CCD) combined with response surface modeling (RSM) was carried out to maximize MB removal by A. campestris for the adsorption process. A regression model was derived using RSM to predict the responses and analysis of variance (ANOVA), and to check model adequacy lack of fit test was used. The A. campestris adsorption capacity was determined as 24.2 mg g–1. The ANOVA showed a high coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.9987). This study clearly revealed that RSM was one of the most effective and appropriate method for the optimization of operating conditions. The possibility of reusing A. campestris was also investigated and, as a result, it was found quite possible and showed high performance in the recovery of MB.

    Biosorptive removal of eriochrome black-T using agaricus campestris: Parameters optimization with response surface methodology

    Alp, Hevidar; Ince, Muharrem; Ince, Olcay Kaplan; Onal, Ali

    In this study, Eriochrome Black T (EBT) removal from aqueous media by Agaricus campestris (AC) which is an eco-friendly biosorbent was investigated using a central composite design (CCD) combined with response surface methodology. The CCD was chosen as the statistical prediction method to reduce the number of experiments which, in turn, will directly save time and chemicals. To opti-mize the process, various experimental independent variables such as the pH of the solution, contact time, adsorbent dosage and temperature were selected. The optimal experimental conditions were obtained as 6.5, 30°C, 20 min and 20 mg, for solution pH, temperature, contact time and adsorbent dosage, respectively. Under these optimized conditions, maximum EBT (100 mg L–1 initial concentra-tion) removal efficiency was calculated as 64.2 mg g–1. The independent variables and their interaction significance were checked using analysis of variance and it was found that the EBT biosorption on AC was highly significant (p < 0.001). The results were justified by the relatively high correlation coefficients (R2 = 0.9967) of the statistical prediction. The EBT biosorption was confirmed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis monitoring the functional groups during EBT biosorption on AC. This was the first report on the parameter optimization of EBT biosorp-tion using AC in an experimental design. The used biosorbent was characterized by FTIR, scanning electron microscope coupled with energy dispersive spectrometer and thermogravimetric analysis. The proposed biosorption process efficiently removed EBT, present in various aqueous mediums and can be used in industrial processes.

    Ince, Olcay Kaplan; Kandemir, Fatih Mehmet; Ince, Muharrem; Benzer, Fulya; Onal, Ali; Kucukler, Sefa

    Doxorubicin (DXR) is one of the commonly used chemotherapeutic agents, which is highly toxic and causes gastrointestinal and cardiac toxicity. Curcumin is used as a spice and coloring agent in food, but also possesses anti-proliferating, potent antioxidant, antitumor-promoting and anti-carcinogenic properties in vitro and in vivo. In this study, the change in element concentrations in the tissues of healthy animals was examined by administering doxorubicin and curcumin separately, or both at the same time. For this purpose, 35 wistar albino male rats were selected and randomly divided into five groups of seven each. The objective of this study was to assess and compare the levels of copper, iron, zinc and selenium in the liver, kidney, heart, and testis of the control group and in the doxorubicin-induced tissues. According to the results, the Cu, Fe, Zn, Se amounts and the Cu/Fe, Cu/Zn, and Cu/Se ratios were present at different levels in each of the five groups. In terms of element concentration, the most affected tissue by doxorubicin application is the heart, and the least affected is the kidney. The ratios of Cu/Fe and Cu/Se in the liver and the heart were highest in Group II and Group III, respectively.

    Ince, Olcay Kaplan; Ince, Muharrem; Onal, Ali

    A three-level four-factor Box–Behnken experimental design (BBD) combined with response surface modeling (RSM) was used for the optimization and modeling of Pb(II) adsorption from alcoholic beverages onto natural clay. The BBD method was chosen as the statistical prediction method to reduce the experimental numbers which saves time and chemicals and reduce analysis cost. Various independent process variables including solution pH (X1: 3.0– 7.0), contact time (X2: 2–60 min), adsorbent dosage (X3: 0.01-0.1 g), and agitation speed (X4: 50–150 rpm) were optimized. The optimal conditions used for Pb(II) removal were pH of 5.3, contact time 38.9 minutes, 0.071 g adsorbent dosage, and 98.7 rpm agitation speed, resulting in a maximum removal efficiency of 120 mg g-1. Pb was determined by electrothermal AAS. The significance of the independent variables and their interactions were tested by means of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and are based on the ANOVA statistical value. The adsorption of Pb(II) onto clay was found to be highly significant with very low probability (p) values (<0.001). These results were justified by the relatively high correlation coefficients (R2 = 0.9965, R2 adj = 0.9930, and R2 Pred= 0.9819) of the statistical prediction. FTIR analysis confirmed major participation of amide, amines, ketones, including the primary alcohol groups, during Pb(II) biosorption. Clay was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), coupled with energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX). The proposed adsorption process efficiently removes Pb(II) present in various aqueous media and can be used for industrial wastewater or drinks.

    This is the first study about removal of lead (Pb(II)) from energy drinks. In this paper, food waste, namely eggshell (hydroxyapatite) utilization, was used to remove Pb(II) from mineral water and energy drinks. Mineral water and energy drinks were chosen for removal of lead since the latter is severely hazardous to human health even in small amounts. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was performed to optimize the application process by practice of the quadratic model united with the Central Composite Design (CCD) and quadratic combined program was utilized to study the most effective parameters on aforementioned liquids. Through the application of variance analysis (ANOVA) factors critical to removing of lead were identified for each experimental design response. Maximum adsorption capacity of eggshell was achieved as 923 mg g(-1) for Pb(II). The obtained optimum conditions were applied to drinks. Results showed that used adsorbent was quite effective in removing Pb(II) from drinks. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Box-Behnken design approach for optimizing removal of copper from wastewater using a novel and green adsorbent

    Ince, Muharrem; Ince, Olcay Kaplan

    The aim of the present research was to apply the Box-Behnken experimental design and response surface methodology for modeling of copper (Cu2+) ions from an industrial wastewater and leachate pretreated astragalus herbal plant. A three factor, three level Box-Behnken experimental design combined with response surface modeling (RSM) and quadratic programming (QP) was employed for maximizing Cu(ID removal from aqueous solution based on 17 different experimental data obtained in a batch experimental study. Three independent variables (pH ranging from 2.0 to 8.0, contact time from 10 to 180 minutes, and adsorbent amount from 0.1 to 1 g) were studied. The significance of the independent variables and their interactions were tested by means of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) with 95% confidence limits. The standardized effects of the independent variables and their interactions on the dependent variable were also investigated by preparing a Pareto chart. The optimum values of the selected variables were obtained by solving the quadratic regression model as well as by analyzing the response surface contour plots. Using the experimental conditions of pH = 5.0, contact time = 92.5 minutes, adsorbent dosage = 0.25 g, the recovery efficiency of Cu(II) was found to be 100%. Copper-free and copperloaded astragalus was analyzed using fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) which evidenced the functional groups involved in copper uptake. Adsorption equilibrium for copper was described by using the Freundlich and Langmiur adsorption isotherms. This adsorbent was applied to different industrial wastewater and leachate samples for copper removal.

    Nickel, Lead, and Cadmium Removal Using a Low-Cost Adsorbent - Banana Peel

    Ince, Muharrem; Ince, Olcay Kaplan; Yonten, Vahap; Karaaslan, Nagihan M.

    Water pollution because of inorganic contaminants is a serious problem due to the acute toxicities and carcinogenic nature of pollutants. Recently, much attention has been focused on using natural and low-cost adsorbents, especially food residues, for removing toxic metal ions. Batch removal of nickel (Ni(II)), lead (Pb(II)), and cadmium (Cd(II)) from aqueous solution using a natural adsorbent is described in this study. Effects of various parameters on adsorption capacities such as pH, adsorbent dose, and stirring time were investigated by batch experiments. The maximum adsorption capacities for Ni(II), Pb(II), and Cd(II) ions were 1.6 mg g(-1), 125 mg g(-1), and 84 mg g(-1), respectively. Characterization of the surface modification was performed with FTIR measurements. FTIR spectra showed that chemisorption takes place at the surface of the adsorbent. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms were used to evaluate the equilibrium data. The characteristic parameters for each isotherm were determined. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm provided the best correlation for Ni(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II) using banana peel.

    Antioxidants are our first line of defense against free radical damage, and are critical for maintaining health. The need for antioxidants becomes even more critical with increased exposure to free radicals. In the past few years there has been an increasing interest in determining relevant dietary sources of antioxidant phenolics. Mushrooms have been not only used as food materials with their unique flavor and texture, but also recognized as an important source of biologically active compound of medicinal value. In our study, to determine the antioxidant properties of the methanolic extracts of Pleurotus eryngii strains collected from different region of Tunceli, radical scavenging activity, total phenolic contents, reducing power, metal chelating activity and total antioxidant status (TAS) were analyzed. The analysis of phenolic compounds was performed by HPLC. In particular, the methanolic extract of P. eryngii collected from city center revealed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power, while the highest total phenolics and total antioxidant status was determined in P. eryngii collected from Pulumur. P. eryngii collected from Ovacik showed the highest chelating effects. Concentration of phenolic compounds found in three wild edible mushrooms. Kaempferol and catechin were not determined in musrooms species. The highest rutin levels were determined in ovacik. Resveratrol was determined only in Pulumur. The studied wild mushrooms might be beneficial to protect human body against oxidative damage.
