Diffuse-Layer Surface Potentials of Colemanites Mined in Turkey
(Oficyna Wydawnicza Politechniki Wrocławskiej, 2022) Arslan, Dilek Senol; Drelich, Jaroslaw W.
Colemanite crystal specimens were handpicked at Kestelek, Emet (Hisarcik, Espey), Bigadic mines in Turkey for characterization of their composition and surface potential. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed no differences in mineralogical makeup of the crystals, but elemental analysis indicated differences in the type of trace (<0.1 wt%) elements. Zeta potential measurements showed small differences in zeta potential values, with isoelectric points (iep) varying from about pH = 9.6 to pH = 10.2. However, no correlation was found between iep and the type of trace elements. Additionally, atomic force microscopy (AFM) was employed to measure the colloidal interactions between a silicon nitride (Si3N4) cantilever tip and colemanite crystal surfaces in 1 wt% colemanite-saturated aqueous solutions at three different pHs (8.4, 9.4 and 11). The Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory (DLVO) was applied to examine the AFM tip interactions with colemanite surfaces in an aqueous solution of colemanite saturated solutions. The results revealed attractive forces at pH = 8.4 and 9.4 and repulsive forces at pH = 11, confirming the location of an isoelectric point for colemanite specimens somewhere between pH = 9.5 and pH = 10.1. Theoretical analysis of the force curves using the DLVO theory allowed for assessment of both surface charge density and surface potential for colemanite specimens used in this study.
Performance Comparison of Waste Cooking Oil on Coal Slime Flotation With Sunflower Oil and Gas Oil
(2023) Hacıfazlıoglu, Hasan; Arslan, Dilek Senol
This study explores the potential use of waste cooking sunflower oil (WSO) as an eco-friendly collector for coal slime flotation. WSO and coal slime are both wastes and are hazardous to human health and the environment, if not disposed of properly. In this study, co-disposal of the two wastes was investigated; a gas oil (petroleum derived oil) and crude sunflower oil (CSO) were used for collector efficiency comparisons. This study also presents a green, low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative. Kinetic flotation tests were carried out to study the flotation selectivity, flammability and combustible recovery. Contact angle measurements were performed with 3 different oils (CSO, WSO and gas oil) by sessile drop technique to determine the hydrophobicity and surface properties of coal. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was utilized to analyze the chemical composition of both waste oil and coal samples. Keywords: Sunflower oil, waste cooking oil, gas oil, coal slime, flotation

Preparation and Characterization of a Novel Diatomite-Based Composite and Investigation of Its Adsorption Properties for Uranyl Ions
(Springer, 2019) Senol, Zeynep Mine; Arslan, Dilek Senol; Simsek, Selcuk
In this research, Polyacrylamide-diatomite (PAA-D) composite was used as adsorbent for the efficient removal of uranyl ions from aqueous solution. The chemical and morphological properties of PAA-D composite were confirmed by several analysis. Batch experiments were performed as a function of solution pH, initial concentration, kinetic, thermodynamic and recovery. The maximum metal uptake capacity was found as 0.085 mol kg(-1). Kinetic data were best interpreted by a pseudo second order model. Thermodynamic findings showed that the adsorption process was exothermic, spontaneous and process with increased disorderliness at solid/solution interface. The recovery studies showed that PAA-D composite had good adsorption/desorption performance.

Preparation of Polyacrylamide Titanium Dioxide Hybrid Nanocomposite by Direct Polymerization and Its Applicability in Removing Crystal Violet From Aqueous Solution
(Springer, 2024) Arslan, Dilek Senol; Ertap, Hueseyin; Senol, Zeynep Mine; El Messaoudi, Noureddine; Mehmeti, Valbone
The present paper focused on synthesizing a polyacrylamide-titanium dioxide (PAA@TiO2) nanocomposite using a cross-linking method with N, N & PRIME;-methylenebisacrylamide and then using this composite to eliminate crystal violet (CV) dye from water and to characterize the adsorbent by XRD, FT-IR, and SEM-EDX techniques. The characterization revealed that TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed homogeneously within the polymer matrix. The maximum amount of adsorption was about 38.9 mg g(-1) under the adsorbent dose of 5 g L-1, 500 mg L-1 CV dye concentration, and pH 6.9. The interaction between the CV molecule and the PAA@TiO2 nanocomposite surface was studied using Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The negative value of the Eads (- 586.56 kcal mol(-1)) of the CV molecules onto the PAA@TiO2 nanocomposite surface gives credibility to the experimental results. All obtained results showed that PAA@TiO2 hybrid polymer nanocomposite could be an alternative adsorbent for crystal violet dye removal from wastewater.
