    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.

    Study of the bioaccumulation of UO2 2+ onto the green microalgae botryococcus braunii using response surface methodology

    Celik, Fatih; Aslani, Mahmoud Ali Asker; Can, Safak Seyhaneyildiz

    The bioaccumulation of UO2 2+ (uranyl ion) was investigated by using dry biomass of Botryococcus braunii. Experiments were conducted based on a rotatable central composite design (CCD) and analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM), which was used to optimize the bioaccumulation process. In this goal, the effects of parameters such as initial uranium (VI) concentration, pH, temperature and contact time were studied. The optimum conditions for maximum removal (87%) of UO2 2+ from an aqueous solution were as follows: initial uranium (VI) concentration (55 mg/l), pH (3.6), temperature (46°C) and contact time (74 min). Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and also thermodynamic parameters like Enthalpy (∆H°), Entropy (∆S°), standard Gibbs free energy (∆G°) were investigated, as well.

    Uranium (VI) Biosorption on Marine Sponge, Sarcotragus foetidus (Schmidt, 1862) and Its Statistical Investigation Using Central Composite Design

    Celik, Fatih; Camas, Mustafa; Camas, Anil Sazak; Ozalp, Hasan Baris

    The biosorption of heavy metals, radionuclides, uranium and thorium for the recovery or removal from aqueous systems using various micro-organisms and biological substances has been investigated by several groups of workers. In this paper, the uptake of uranium (VI) from aqueous systems by a marine sponge, Sarcotragus foetidus (Schmidt, 1862) has been investigated. S. foetidus samples were collected from Babakale/Ayvacik/Canakkale in Turkey. Uranium (VI) uptake experiments were carried out by the batch technique. The affecting parameters were analyzed using Central Composite Design (CCD) as the experimental method. Four independent variables such-pH, temperature, contact time, and initial uranium concentration were selected for this study. The influences of initial pH, contact time, and initial uranium concentration on the biosorption process were considered statistically significant as main effects. On the other hand, interaction effects of pH and contact time, as well as pH and initial uranium concentration, were considered as significant parameters on the biosorption process. The optimum condition of biosorption process was found to be at initial pH: 4, temperature: 35 degrees C, initial uranium concentration: 20 mg/L, and contact time: 31 minutes. At these conditions, the biosorption yield of uranium (VI) ions was obtained to be 93.29 +/- 2%.
