    Lanthanum-based magnetic biopolymers for brilliant green removal from aqueous solutions

    Karaaslan Ayhan, Nagihan

    In this study, lanthanum (La)-based magnetic biopolymers were synthesized, and the first adsorption study was conducted on the removal of brilliant green dye from aqueous water with these biopolymers. For the adsorption study, adsorption parameters were investigated and the ideal adsorption conditions determined for the removal of brilliant green dye from aqueous solutions are pH 11, t 60 min, m 10 mg, C0 25 mg/L, T 298 K. It was determined that the adsorption process was compatible with the single-layer Langmuir isotherm, and maximum adsorption capacity obtained according to the Langmuir isotherm was calculated as 256.41 mg/g. The adsorption process was found to be in accordance with the pseudo-second-order, and the adsorption process was explained by intra-particle diffusion. According to studies of adsorption thermodynamics, it has been established that the nature of the adsorption reaction is spontaneous, and this process is endothermic and has increasing randomness. Moreover, the reusability of magnetic lanthanum/alginate (La/Alg) biopolymers was investigated, and it was determined that the biopolymers could be used successfully. In summary, brilliant green dye has been successfully removed with simple, low-cost, environmentally friendly, and easily obtained magnetic La/Alg biopolymers. It can be stated that even low amounts of these biopolymers can be effective in the treatment of highly concentrated dye wastewaters.

    Green Synthesis and Encapsulation of Superparamagnetic Magnetite for Mercury (II) Removal: Adsorption Isotherms, Adsorption Kinetics, and Thermodynamic Studies

    Mercury (II) ions have significant ecological impacts. In the current study, magnetized iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were green synthesized and encapsulated with alginate (ALG). The nanoparticles were converted into a composite (Fe3O4/ALG). The Fe3O4/ALG beads were used to remove Hg (II) from industrial wastewater. Characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy—energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA). A central composite design (CCD) approach was performed to define the experimental conditions providing the highest global adsorption efficiency and to optimize the pH, temperature and adsorbent mass. Hg (II) concentrations were determined by flame and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS and ETAAS). The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 1.2 mg L−1 and 3.5 mg L−1 for FAAS and 0.2 µg L−1 and 0.5 µg L−1 for ETAAS, respectively. Additionally, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were employed to determine the adsorption mechanism. The adsorption capacity of Fe3O4/ALG was determined to be 49.18 mg g−1 by the Langmuir model. Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption of Hg (II) best fitted the pseudo-second order model. The Gibb’s free energy (ΔG°) values showed that the adsorption of Hg (II) on Fe3O4/ALG occurred spontaneously.

    Adsorption potential of neodymium/alginate beads for removal of Congo red and Brilliant blue G from aqueous solution

    Seker, S.; Karaaslan Ayhan, N.

    In this study, neodymium/alginate (Nd/Alg) beads were prepared to removal of Congo Red (CR) and Brilliant Blue G (BBG) dyes from aqueous solution and the adsorption potentials of these dyes were investigated. For this, Nd/Alg beads prepared using crosslinking were characterized by FTIR, SEM–EDS and TGA. For the adsorption of CR and BBG dyes, the effects of various parameters including the amount of Nd in adsorbent (bead), pH, contact time, adsorbent amount, initial dye concentration and temperature were investigated. The optimum conditions for the effective removal of CR and BBG dyes were determined as Nd amount in bead: 3%, pH: 7, contact time: 60 min, bead amount: 15 mg, initial dye concentration: 25 mg/L and temperature 298 K. Adsorption isotherm studies (Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms) and kinetic studies (pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order) were carried out under optimum conditions. The adsorption data were found to completely follow Langmuir model for CR and BBG dyes. The maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 46.03 mg/g for CR and 25.25 mg/g for BBG under optimum conditions. The adsorption kinetic data of both dyes were found to be compatible with pseudo-first-order and adsorption processes were explained by intraparticle diffusion. According to thermodynamic studies, nature of adsorption reaction was spontaneous, exothermic and increasing randomness for both dyes. As a result, it can be concluded that Nd/Alg beads obtained with a natural polymer have low cost and high efficiency and even small amounts of these beads have high potential for treatment of high concentration dye wastewater.
