Bu araştırma, sulu çözeltilerden Pb 2+ iyonlarının adsorpsiyonu için Midyat taşının (MT) değerlendirilmesini inceliyor. Çalışmada, temas süresi, başlangıç metal iyon konsantrasyonu, pH gibi çeşitli değişkenlerin adsorpsiyon verimliliği üzerindeki sonuçları araştırıldı. MT'nin yüzey özellikleri taramalı elektron mikroskobu, enerji dağılım spektroskopisi ve Fourier dönüşümlü kızılötesi spektroskopisi ile araştırıldı. Pb 2+ iyonunun uzaklaştırılması için en uygun çalışma koşullarında başlangıç konsantrasyonu, temas süresi ve çözelti pH'ı sırasıyla 800 mg/L, 90 dakika ve 4,23 olarak belirlendi. Sonuçlar, izoterm verilerinin Langmuir izoterm modeli için, kinetik verileri için de Yalancı birinci dereceden kinetik modeline (PSO) uygun olduğunu göstermiştir. Pb 2+ iyonu için adsorpsiyon kapasitesi 298, 308 ve 318 K'da sırasıyla 129.87 mg/g, 178.57 mg/g ve 188.68 mg/g olarak hesaplandı. Termodinamik çalışmalar, MT yoluyla Pb 2+ iyonunun uzaklaştırılmasının doğal ve endotermik olduğunu göstermiştir. MT'nin sahip olduğu yüksek adsorpsiyon kapasitesi, ucuz ve kolay bulunabilmesi gibi özelliklerinden dolayı Pb 2+ iyonlarının sulu ortamdan uzaklaştırılmasında etkili ve gelecek vaat eden bir malzeme olduğu tespit edilmiştir. One of the most pressing concerns that scientists are attempting to solve is the removal of heavy metals from industrial waste. The effectiveness of Midyat stone (MS) for the adsorption of Pb 2+ ions from aqueous solutions is investigated in this study. The effects of numerous variables on adsorption effectiveness, such as contact duration, initial metal ion concentration, and pH, were studied in the study. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to analyze the surface properties of MS. Under the most favorable working conditions for the removal of the Pb 2+ ion, the starting concentration, contact duration, and solution pH were determined to be 800 mg/L, 90 minutes, and 4,23, respectively. The results showed that the isotherm data fit the Langmuir isotherm model, and the kinetic data fit the pseudo-second-order (PSO) model. At 298, 308, and 318 K, the adsorption capacity of the Pb 2+ ion was determined to be 129.87 mg/g, 178.57 mg/g, and 188.68 mg/g, respectively.

Batch-mode adsorption experiments were carried out varying parameters such as the initial metal ion concentration (13.30-45.55 mg/l), agitation speed (50-200 rpm), pH (2-8), temperature (293-323 K) and particle size (0.80-1.60 mm). The kinetics of the adsorption of Co(II) followed the pseudo-second-order equation, being pHdependent since the removal rate increased with the pH value of the aqueous solution. The adsorption equilibrium data obeyed the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption capacity (Q 0) calculated from the Langmuir isotherm was 13.88 mg Co(II)/g carbon at 303 K employing a pH value of 6 and a particle size of 1.00-1.20 mm. The thermodynamic parameters evaluated for the carbon revealed that the adsorption of Co(II) was endothermic in nature.

The characterization of the obtained raw and modified clay materials, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were carried out. Compared with the raw clay sample, the adsorption ability of metal ions with the heat-treated clay adsorbent was significantly improved. The effects of calcination temperature, initial metal concentration, solution temperature and contact time on adsorption capacity were investigated. Adsorption data were tested with Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the Langmuir model showed a relatively better fit. The adsorption capacities for Cu (II), Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions were found to be 156.25 mg/g, 172.40 mg/g and 9.15 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data for heavy metal ions confirmed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Heat-treated clay samples showed remarkable adsorption efficiency for heavy metal removal from aqueous systems; therefore, it can be considered as a competent and potential adsorbent for heavy metal removal.

The adsorption capacity (Q 0) calculated from the Langmuir isotherm was 13.88 mg Co(II)/g carbon at 303 K employing a pH value of 6 and a particle size of 1.00-1.20 mm. The thermodynamic parameters evaluated for the carbon revealed that the adsorption of Co(II) was endothermic in nature.

The sorption of these metals on kaolinite conformed to linear form of Langmuir adsorption equation. Langmuir C m constants for each metal were found as 0.446 mg/g (Mn), 0.919 mg/g (Co), 1.669 mg/g (Ni), 10,787 mg/g (Cu) at 251C, respectively. Also, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy (DH), free energy (DG) and entropy (DS) were calculated and these values show that adsorption of heavy metal on kaolinite was an endothermic process and the process of adsorption was favoured at high temperatures.

This synthesis method is both fast and inexpensive. In this study, an aqueous extract obtained from chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) (CA) leaves was used in order to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). For specification of the synthesized AgNPs, UV-vis spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray (EDX), and zeta potential (ZP) analyses data were used. Biologically synthesized AgNPs demonstrated a maximum surface plasmon resonance of 417.47 nm after 3 h. With the powder XRD model, the mean crystallite dimension of nanoparticles was determined as 12.17 mm with a cubic structure. According to the TEM results, the dimensions of the obtained silver nanoparticles were found to be 6.11-9.66 nm. The ZP of the electric charge on the surface of AgNPs was measured as −19.6 mV. The inhibition effect of AgNPs on food pathogen strains and yeast was determined with the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) method. AgNPs demonstrated highly effective inhibition at low concentrations especially against the growth of B. subtilis (0.0625) and S. aureus (0.125) strains. The cytotoxic effects of silver nanoparticles on cancerous cell lines (CaCo-2, U118, Sk-ov-3) and healthy cell lines (HDF) were revealed. Despite the increase

The characterization of the obtained raw and modified clay materials, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were carried out. Compared with the raw clay sample, the adsorption ability of metal ions with the heat-treated clay adsorbent was significantly improved. The effects of calcination temperature, initial metal concentration, solution temperature and contact time on adsorption capacity were investigated. Adsorption data were tested with Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the Langmuir model showed a relatively better fit. The adsorption capacities for Cu (II), Pb (II) and Cd (II) ions were found to be 156.25 mg/g, 172.40 mg/g and 9.15 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption data for heavy metal ions confirmed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Heat-treated clay samples showed remarkable adsorption efficiency for heavy metal removal from aqueous systems; therefore, it can be considered as a competent and potential adsorbent for heavy metal removal.

To achieve the aim, the conditions for adsorption, including cold plasma application time, initial dye concentration, and pH were investigated with respect to the removal efficiency of MB. The changes of the surface property before and after cold plasma treatment were discussed. The maximum adsorption capacity of MB compared with untreated raw kaolin increased from 19.60 to 51.02 mg/g (up to approximately 2, 5-fold) after modification by cold plasma. The experimental data were analyzed using pseudo first-order and second-order kinetic models. The surface properties of kaolin treated with cold plasma were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and point of zero charge (pzc) measurements to understand the adsorption mechanism
