    Cellulose/cysteine based thiol-ene UV cured adsorbent: removal of silver (I) ions from aqueous solution
    (SPRINGER, 2021) BİRTANE, HATİCE; Cigil, Asli Beyler; Urucu, Oya Aydin; Birtane, Hatice; Kahraman, Memet Vezir
    In the present study, a novel, eco-friendly, and simple polymeric adsorbent was obtained from cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) and cysteine (Cys) to remove silver (I) ions in the presence of a thiol-ene click reaction under UV rays. Accordingly, firstly, CAB was modified with acrylate groups to turn it into a photocurable resin. Then, the acrylate modified CAB obtained with the monomer having cysteine and triacrylate group was crosslinked by thiol-ene click reaction under UV rays to obtain an eco-friendly adsorbent. The adsorbent acquired -S-, -COO and -NH2 groups as a result of this reaction and these functional groups are known to have the ability to selectively couple with Ag(I) ions. The adsorbent was evaluated for the selective removal of Ag(I) ions from aqueous samples characterized by SEM, SEM-EDAX, and FTIR. To determine the most suitable conditions, the effect of important parameters such as pH and contact time was investigated. It was determined that the most suitable isotherm for adsorption was the Langmuir isotherm (R: 0.999). The efficacy of our eco-friendly adsorbent was investigated in a real stream and lake waters and very good results were achieved. [GRAPHICS] .

    Statistical optimization and selective uptake of Au(III) from aqueous solution using carbon nanotube-cellulose based adsorbent
    (ELSEVIER, 2022) BİRTANE, HATİCE; Birtane, Hatice; Urucu, Oya Aydin; Yildiz, Nilgun; Cigil, Asli Beyler; Kahraman, Memet Vezir
    In this study, a carbon nanotube cellulose-based UV-curable nanocomposite was prepared as an adsorbent to selectively separate Au (III) ions from an aqueous medium. For this purpose, thiol-functionalized carbon nanotube and acrylate-functionalized hydroxyethyl cellulose were synthesized and the photo-curable adsorbent was obtained using the thiol-ene click reaction. The FTIR spectra revealed that the thiol groups and acrylate groups were successfully attached to carbon nanotube and hydroxyethyl cellulose, respectively. Moreover, the Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray analyses showed that the photo-curable adsorbent contained sulfur atoms, thus indicating successful modification. The parameters affecting the recovery of the Au (III) ions were determined using the Plackett-Burman method. The optimum values of the parameters, which were pH, adsorption time, initial Au (III) concentration, and adsorbent amount were determined using the Box-Behnken method. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm was determined to be the best equation to describe the interaction of the Au (III) ions with the adsorbent (R-2: 0.995). The examination of the effectiveness of the photocurable adsorbent in the presence of different metal ions yielded prosperous results. Also, the developed method has been successfully applied for the recovery of Au(III) ions in river waters.
