This study was designed to examine the combined effect of bamboo-biochar (BC) and water-washed lignite (LGT) at copper mine tailings (CuMT) sites on the concentration of Cu and other metals in pore water (PW), their bioavailability, and change in geochemical speciation. Rapeseed (first cropping-season) and wheat (second cropping-season) were grown for 40-days each and the influence of applied-amendments on both cropping seasons was observed and compared. A significant increase in pH, water holding capacity (WHC), and soil organic carbon (SOC) was observed after the applied amendments in second cropping-seasons. The BC-LGT significantly reduced the concentration of Cu in PW after second cropping seasons; however, the concentration of Pb and Zn were increased with the individual application of biochar and LGT, respectively. BC-LGT and BC-2% significantly reduced the bioavailability of Cu and other HMs in both cropping seasons. The treated-CuMT was subjected to spectroscopic investigation through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The results showed that Cu sorption mainly involved the coordination with hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups, as well as the co-precipitation or complexation on mineral surfaces, which vary with the applied amendment and bulk amount of Mg, Mn, and Fe released during sorption-process. The co-application of BC-LGT exerted significant effectiveness in immobilizing Cu and other HMs in CuMT. The outcomes of the study indicated that co-application of BC-LGT is an efficacious combination of organic and inorganic materials for Cu adsorption which may provide some new information for the sustainable remediation of copper mine tailing.

Photovoltaic Properties of Poly(Triphenylamine-Thiazolo[5,4-d] Thiazole) Copolymer Dye in Bulk-Hetorojunction Organic Solar Cells Olgun, Ugursoy; Gulfen, Mustafa; HIZALAN, Gonul; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2017-04-01) In this study, the photovoltaic properties of poly(triphenylamine-thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole) alternating copolymer dye in bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells were examined. The copolymer is a red colored dye material with high thermal stability, good solubility and low-band gap energy. The band gap energy of the polymer was determined as 1.36 eV. The conductivity of the polymer thin film was measured as 1.5x10(-5) S/cm. The polymer solar cells were fabricated using the different ratios of the blends of th...
Proteomics of phanerochaete chrysosporium under heavy metal stress Yıldırım, Volkan; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2014) In this study, time-dependent heavy metal response of the white rot fungus P. chrysosporium was analyzed by using 2D-PAGE-MS for soluble cytosolic fraction and GeLC-MS approach for membrane enriched fraction. After the 2D-PAGE-MS analysis, a total of 123 protein spots were detected as differentially expressed for Cu-exposed samples and 89 of them were identifed. Further analysis revealed that the 89 protein spots are the products of the 58 distinct ORFs. Overall, strongly up-regulated proteins included (i) ...
Biosensors Based on Nano-Gold/Zeolite-Modified Ion Selective Field-Effect Transistors for Creatinine Detection Kasap, Berna Ozansoy; Marchenko, Svitlana V.; Soldatkin, Oleksandr O.; Dzyadevych, Sergei V.; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2017-03-02) The combination of advantages of using zeolites and gold nanoparticles were aimed to be used for the first time to improve the characteristic properties of ion selective field-effect transistor (ISFET)-based creatinine biosensors. The biosensors with covalently cross-linked creatinine deiminase using glutaraldehyde (GA) were used as a control group, and the effect of different types of zeolites on biosensor responses was investigated in detail by using silicalite, zeolite beta (BEA), nano-sized zeolite beta...
In situ synthesis of micro-plastics embedded sewage-sludge co-pyrolyzed biochar: Implications for the remediation of Cr and Pb availability and enzymatic activities from the contaminated soil Mujtaba Munir, Mehr Ahmed; Yousaf, Balal; Ali, Muhammad Ubaid; Dan, Chen; Abbas, Qumber; Arif, Muhammad; Yang, Xiaoe (2021-06-15) Careful designing of biochar (BC) employing biological and industrial waste materials has gained much attention to improve soil health via reducing the bioavailability of heavy metals (HMs) in the contaminated-soil. Herein, a forty-day pot experiment was conducted to explore the influence of micro-plastic (MP) embedded sewage-sludge (SS). The effects of SS and MP dosage ratios (0–15%) on the physicochemical properties of the modified-biochars were also studied with slow-pyrolyzed (SBC-500 °C) and flash-pyro...
Designing of Ti-Mg composites for various applications Bütev Öcal, Ezgi; Dericioğlu, Arcan F.; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019) In this study, galvanic corrosion of Ti-Mg based composites has been examined by combining different Mg-alloys with Ti6Al4V alloy and by addition of Na-rich layer between two dissimilar metals. After determining the wetting behavior of liquid unalloyed Mg, AZ91, and WE43 alloys on solid Ti6Al4V alloy, three different composites were manufactured via infiltration of liquid Mg/Mg-alloys into porous Ti6Al4V alloy skeletons. The same procedure was also repeated after coating the porous surfaces of Ti6Al4V alloy...
