Öğe Adsorption of Cu(II) From Aqueous Solution by Using Modified Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles(Elsevier, 2010) Özmen, Mustafa; Can, Keziban; Arslan, Gülsin; Tor, Ali; Çengeloğlu, Yunus; Ersöz, MustafaIn this study, surface modification of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) was carried out with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and glutaraldehyde (GA). The obtained modified-NPs (GA-APTES-NPs) were evaluated for Cu(II) removal from water by adsorption. First, Fe3O4-NPs were synthesized by co-precipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ with Fe2+/Fe3+ in a ratio of 1.75 in an ammonia solution, then surface of Fe3O4-NPs was modified with APTES and GA. The morphology and properties of the NPs were examined by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and magnetization measurement. The batch experiments showed that modified-NPs can be effectively used to remove Cu(II) from water. Adsorption equilibrium was achieved in 15 min. The adsorption of Cu(II) by GA-APTES-NPs strongly depends on the pH of the solution. Maximum removal of Cu(II) was obtained at pH between 4.0 and 5.3. The isotherm analysis indicated that the sorption data can be represented by both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The regeneration studies also showed that GA-APTES-NPs could be re-used for the adsorption of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions over three cycles without change in the sorption capacity and magnetization properties.Öğe Analytical Methods for Viable and Rapid Determination of Organochlorine Pesticides in Water and Soil Samples(INTECH EUROPE, 2011) Ozcan, Senar; Tor, Ali; Aydin, Mehmet Emin[Abstract not Available]Öğe Application of Liquid-Phase Microextraction to the Analysis of Trihalomethanes in Water(Elsevier Science Bv, 2006) Tor, Ali; Aydın, M. EminA liquid-phase microextraction method for the determination of tribalomethanes (THMs) including chloroform (CHCl3), bromodichloromethane (CHBrCl2), dibromochloromethane (CHBr2Cl) and bromoform (CHBr3) in water samples was developed, with analysis by gas chromatography-electron capture detection (GC-ECD). After the determination of the most suitable solvent and stirring rate for the extraction, several other parameters (solvent drop volume, extraction time and ionic strength of the sample) were optimized using a factorial design to obtain the most relevant variables. The optimized extraction conditions for 5 mL of sample volume in a 10 mL vial were as follows: n-hexane an organic solvent; a solvent drop volume of 2 mu L; an extraction time of 5.0 min; a stirring rate of 600 rpm at 25 degrees C; sample ionic strength of 3 M sodium chloride. The linear range was 1-75 mu g L-1 for the studied THMs. The limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 0.23 mu g L-1 (for CHBr2Cl) to 0.45 mu g L-1 (for CHCl3). Recoveries of THMs from fortified distilled water were over 70% for a fortification level of 15 mu g L-1, and relative standard deviations of the recoveries were below 5%. Real samples collected from tap water and well water were successfully analyzed using the proposed method. The recovery of spiked water samples was from 73% to 78% with relative standard deviations below 7%.Öğe Application of miniaturised ultrasonic extraction to the analysis of organochlorine pesticides in soil(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009) Ozcan, Senar; Tor, Ali; Aydin, Mehmet EminA miniaturised ultrasonic extraction procedure was developed for the determination of different organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in soil by gas chromatography (GC/mu-ECD). For an acetone-petroleum ether (1/1, v/v) as the extractor and a 5-min sonication, parameters such as sample amount, solvent volume and number of extraction steps were optimized by usinga 23 factorial experimental design. Limits of detection ranged from 0.02 to 1.34 mu g kg(-1). The developed procedure was applied to three different real soil samples with different fortification levels (25, 50 and 100 mu g kg(-1)) and recoveries were estimated in the 82-106% range with relative standard deviations lower than 15%. Performance of the procedure was compared with those involving traditional shaking flask, Soxhlet extraction and large-scale ultrasonic extraction. The proposed procedure requires small volumes of solvent and sample. It is viable, rapid and easy to use for analysis of OCPs in soils. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Limits of detection ranged from 0.002 to 0.016 mu g L-1. Mean recoveries of OCPs from fortified water samples are over 96% for three different fortification levels between 0.5 and 5 mu g L-1 and relative standard deviations of the recoveries are below 9%. The developed procedure was successfully applied for real water samples (i.e., tap water, well water, surface (lake) water, domestic and industrial wastewater). Performance of the procedure was compared with those involving traditional liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction. The result demonstrates that the USAEME procedure is viable, rapid and easy to use for analysis of OCPs in water samples. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

The synthesized Fe3O4-NPs were characterized by using TEM, VSM, XRD, SAXS,TGA and FT-IR spectroscopy. The Fe3O4-NPs assumed a near-sphere shape with an average size of 9 nm. The results showed that synthesized Fe3O4-NP5 from waste red mud have satisfactory magnetic properties and As(V) sorption capacity, especially at low equilibrium arsenate concentrations.

This was carried out by optimization of a column chromatograph with regard to the eluent type (n-hexane and n-pentane), volume of eluent, type of sorbent material (silica gel and florisil) and activation level of the sorbent material. The determination of the level of PCBs and PAHs was carried out using gas chromatography (GC) equipped with a mass selective detector (MSD), while determination of the OCPs was carried out by GC equipped with an electron capture detector (mu-ECD). The use of a silica gel column (10 g, 5% deactivated with H(2)O) with 70 mL of n-hexane gave satisfactory separation of PCBs from PAHs and OCPs. After collecting the PCBs with 70 mL of n-hexane, 3 . 20 mL of n-hexane:ethyl acetate, (1:1, v:v) was adequate for elution of the PAHs and OCPs from the column. The primary aim of this study was to develop a multimethod for analyses of PCBs, PAHs, and OCPs in urban air as well as reducing solvent and sorbent consumption and analysis time during the clean-up procedure compared to the US EPA standard methods (EPA methods TO-13A for PAHs and TO-4A for both PCBs and OCPS).Öğe Coagulation, flocculation and chemical precipitation(IWA PUBLISHING, 2012) Aydin, Mehmet Emin; Lazarova, Zdravka; Tor, Ali; Ozcan, Senar[Abstract not Available]Öğe Determination of Chlorobenzenes in Water by Drop-Based Liquid-Phase Microextraction and Gas Chromatography-Electron Capture Detection(Elsevier Science Bv, 2006) Tor, AliA drop-based liquid phase microextraction and gas chromatographic-electron capture detection (GC-ECD) method was described for the determination of chlorobenzenes including chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene and 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene in 5 ml of water. The method used 2 mu l of n-hexane as extraction solvent, 5 min extraction time, a stirring rate of 600 rpm and sample ionic strength of 3 M maintained with sodium chloride at 25 degrees C (ambient temperature). The limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 0.004 mu g l(-1) (for 1,3-dichlorobenzene) to 0.008 mu g l(-1) (for monochlorobenzene). The dynamic linear range for all investigated chlorobenzenes was 1-50 mu g l(-1). Recoveries of chlorobenzenes from fortified distilled water are over 90% for three different fortification levels (5, 15 and 45 mu g l(-1)) and relative standard deviations of the recoveries are below 6%. Analysis of fortified (5 mu g l(-1)) real water samples revealed that matrices had no adverse effect on extraction efficiency of proposed method. The recovery of fortified real water samples was from 90 to 94% with relative standard deviations below 6%.Öğe Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil by Miniaturized Ultrasonic Extraction and Gas Chromatography-Mass Selective Detection(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2009) Ozcan, Senar; Tor, Ali; Aydin, Mehmet EminA miniaturized ultrasonic extraction procedure was developed for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

In the Donnan dialysis process, two electrolyte solutions were separated by ion permeable membrane, the one side (feed solution) initially containing metal salts or their mixtures, the other is HCl and no external potential field is applied. The transport of metal ions through membranes was correlated with the efficiency factor (EF) values as well as with fluxes and depended on the interaction between the fixed groups in the membrane and the metal ions. The EF value of Ni2+ as a single as well as mixture state was higher than that of Fe3+ for both types of membranes. The effect of accompanying anion on the transport of Ni2+ was found to be in the following order of Cl- > NO3- > SO4-2, and the results were correlated with the EF values, as well as with the membrane structure.Öğe Electrodialytic removal of fluoride from water: Effects of process parameters and accompanying anions(ELSEVIER, 2008) Ergun, Erdem; Tor, Ali; Cengeloglu, Yunus; Kocak, IzzetThe removal of fluoride from water by using electrodialysis with SB-6407 anion exchange membrane was tested at different current densities. After the determination of the optimum pH of feed phase under Donnan dialysis condition which gave the maximum transport of fluoride, the effect of mono- and bi-valent ions, such as chloride and sulphate, in the feed phase on the removal was investigated by electrodialysis. The transport of fluoride was also correlated with the flux data and explained according to structure of membrane. It was found that the removal of fluoride was higher in the absence of mono- and bi-valent ions. The reducing effect of sulphate ions on the transport of fluoride was higher than that of chloride ions, which was explained by considering interaction of both chloride and sulphate ions with the ionic group in the membrane and activity coefficient of fluoride in the presence of mono- and bi-valent ion set. Moreover, transport of fluoride increased with increasing current density and feed phase concentration. As the driving ion, the chloride ion is more efficient than the sulfate ion. Application of electrodialysis was carried out on the real water containing 20.6 mg/L of fluoride. Despite the presence of chloride and sulphate in real water sample, fluoride concentration could be reduced to 0.8 mg/L (96% removal), which was lower than World Health Organization (WHO) standard (1.5 mg/L.

DEHPA was immobilised by interfacial polymerisation on polysulfone layer which was deposited on non-woven fabric by using spin coater. Then. ACM was characterised by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Initially, batch experiments of liquid-liquid distribution of Cr(III) and the extractant (DEHPA) were carried out to determine the appropriate pH of the feed phase and the results showed that maximum extraction of Cr(III) was achieved at a pH of 4. It Was also found that Cr(III) and DEHPA reacted in 1/1 molar ratio. The effects of Cr(III) (in feed phase), HCl (in stripping phase) and DEHPA (in ACM) concentrations were investigated. DEHPA concentration varies from 0.1 to 1.0M and it was determined that the transport of Cr(III) increased with the carrier concentration LIP to 0.8 M. It was also observed that the transport of Cr(III) through the ACM tended to increase with Cr(III) and HCl concentrations. The stability of ACM was also confirmed with replicate experiments.

First, PIM was characterized by using FTIR and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques and contact angle measurements. Then, the effects of Cr(III) (in feed phase), HCI (in stripping phase) and DEHPA (in membrane) concentrations on the transport were investigated. DEHPA concentration varies from 0.25 to 0.5 M and it was determined that the transport of Cr(III) increased with the carrier concentration up to 0.4 M. It was also observed that the transport of Cr(III) through the PIM tended to increase with Cr(III) and HCI concentrations. According to the competitive transport of Cr(III), Cu(II) and Ni(II) through the PIM, the transport selectivity order was found as Cr(III)approximate to Cu(II)>Ni(II). The result from the transport of Cr(III) mixed with Cr(VI) also showed that flux of Cr(III)was not influenced by the presence of Cr(VI) in feed phase and no Cr(VI) transport through the PIM was determined. PIM had lower experimental Cr(III) flux than those of supported liquid membrane (SLM) and activated composite membrane (ACM) under the same experimental conditions. However, long-term stability of PIM and small difference between normalized flux for PIM and experimental SLM flux indicated that PIM could replace SLM for practical applications.

The ACM was prepared by immobilization of the Cyanex 923 on a polysulfone support by means of interfacial polymerisation. The prepared ACM was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques and contact angle measurements. The effect of feed phase composition, carrier concentration of the casting solution and stripping phase composition on the transport of Cr(VI) was investigated. When the feed phase contained 1 X 10(-3) M Cr(VI) at pH 1.0, 99% of Cr(VI) was transported through the ACM (prepared with 3% carrier solution) by using 1 M NaOH as a stripping phase. Furthermore, Cr(VI) was preferably transported in the presence of various metal ions (i.e., Cr(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Co(II), etc.) and sulphate and nitrate ions had no negative effect on the transport of Cr(VI). The results also showed that transport efficiency of the ACM was reproducible and it could be efficiently used in the long-term separation processes instead of supported liquid membrane (SLM).

The Study was carried out as functions of pH, contact time, activated red mud dosage and initial phenol concentration. It was found that the maximum removal was obtained at pH below 8 and the adsorption equilibrium time was 10 h. Adsorption was followed the pseudo second-order kinetic model. According to the coefficient of determination and non-linear regression analysis carried Out by Chi-square test, the Langmuir isotherm better represented the adsorption data in comparison to the Freundlich isotherm. The phenol adsorption capacity of the activated red mud (8.156 mg/g) was found to be higher than that of the neutralized red mud (4.127 mg/g) at pH 6 and 25 +/- 1 degrees C. Negative Delta G(0) value (-22.692 kJ/mol) indicated that the adsorption of phenol onto the activated red Mud was spontaneous and feasible process.
