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.

Synthesis and Characterization of Chitosan-Vermiculite Composite Beads for Removal of Uranyl Ions: Isotherm, Kinetics and Thermodynamics Studies
(Springer, 2021) Senol, Zeynep Mine; Simsek, Selcuk; Ozer, Ali; Senol Arslan, Dilek
In this study, a new material containing Chitosan (Ch)-Vermiculite (V) composite beads was synthesized with epichlorohydrin cross-linking agent and used to remove uranyl ions from the aqueous solution. The prepared new material was characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR analyses and PZC measurement. The effects of significant parameters on adsorption including temperature, pH, concentration and time were investigated. The obtained results indicated that the new composites of Ch-V was revealed in different structure. The zeta potential analyses showed that electrostatic attraction existed during the adsorption process between the uranyl ions and Ch-V. The maximum adsorption capacity of material was calculated as 0.665 mol kg(-1) by considering Langmuir equation. Adsorption kinetic was also explained with pseudo second order and intra particular diffusion models. Experimental studies clearly showed that the adsorption was endothermic and occurred spontaneously. The newly developed smart material has many advantages such as reusability, high adsorption capacity, selectivity and economics.
