Boron contamination is an environmentally serious problem especially due to its hazards on plants. In this work, newly synthesized poly (vinyl amino-N, N'-bis-propane diol) (GPVA) is presented as an excellent chelating polymer for boron removal. Boron concentration could be reduced from 10 ppm down to 0.4 ppm via total recycle Polymer Enhanced Ultrafiltration (PEUF). Experiments revealed that the polymer shows the highest PEUF boron rejections (96% at pH 9.0) reported so far, without precipitation in a wide concentration range. Detailed investigations such as effect of pH, loading (boron-to-polymer mass ratio) and polymer concentration showed that, the boron binding is highly pH dependent and increases with boron concentration at constant loading. Furthermore, permeate flux was found as nearly independent from polymer concentration up to 10 g/L at 200 kPa pressure drop. In addition, gyration radius of the polymer in solution increases while increasing pH and polymer concentration in the presence of boron as inferred from Dynamic and Static Light Scattering measurements. Regarding with high efficiency and hydrolytic stability of GPVA, its use in combination with PEUF would be of interest for large scale and long term use in boron removal.

Employing Imino-Bis-Propane Diol Functional Polymers for Boron Removal from Geothermal Waters via Polymer Enhanced Ultrafiltration Zerze, Hasan; Ozbelge, H. Onder; Bicak, Niyazi; Yılmaz, Levent (2015-09-02) In this study, polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) was used to remove boron from a geothermal water sample. The effect of co-ions such as chloride and sulfate on boron removal was investigated using previously synthesized poly (vinyl amino-N, N'-bis-propane diol) (GPVA) and its copolymers with DADMAC. The presence of co-anions and use of real waste water did not significantly reduce boron retentions and permeate fluxes. At optimum operating conditions 98% boron removal was achieved. It was demonstrated ...
Inorganic Cadmium Detection Using a Fluorescent Whole-Cell Bacterial Bioreporter Elcin, Evrim; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Informa UK Limited, 2020-11-01) Cadmium pollution has become a serious environmental issue due to its toxicity and frequent entrance into environment components such as soil, water, and air via many anthropogenic sources. Over the last two decades, whole-cell bacterial bioreporters have been acknowledged as bio-sentinels for the determination of toxic heavy metals. Herein a sensitive and quite specific bacterial bioreporter was developed to cope with the need for the rapid and simple determination of cadmium. The construction and characte...
Nitrogen fertilizer leaching from cropped and irrigated sandy soil in Central Turkey Ünlü, Kahraman; Yurteri, C (Wiley, 1999-12-01) Pollution of ground water caused by excessive and uncontrolled use of nitrogen fertilizer is worrying. A recent example of such pollution has been observed in an agricultural basin in the province of Nevsehir, Turkey, where up to 900 kg ha(-1) nitrogen fertilizer is used for growing potatoes in sandy soils under irrigation. Using nitrogen fertilizer in amounts that guarantee large yields without polluting ground water is essential. We present results of field experiments and numerical simulations involving ...
Organoclay preparation for anionic contaminant removal from water İnam, Deniz; Göktürk, Emine Hale; Department of Chemistry (2005) Increasing concern about the pollution of environment by inorganic and organic chemicals arising from naturally occurring ecological events and industrial processes has created a need for the search of new techniques in the removal of these contaminants. One of the natural material that can be used in such processes is clay. Clay minerals have large surface areas and high cation exchange capacities which enables them to be modified by cationic surfactants. The material prepared, often called as ءorganoclay̕...
Degradation of EPDM via gamma irradiation and possible use of EPDM in radioactive waste management Hacıoğlu, Fırat; Usanmaz, Ali; Özdemir, Tonguç; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2010) In this study, degradation of ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) via gamma radiation and possible use of EPDM in radioactive waste management were investigated. In estimation of radiation stability and possible use of EPDM in radioactive waste management, dose rate (both high and low), irradiation environment (in water and in air), additives (carbon black, zinc oxide, plasticizer) used in formulation, peroxide type (either aliphatic or aromatic) and content were parameters which were analyzed. Three...
