© 2022 Elsevier B.V.Ibuprofen (IBP) is one of the most detected pharmaceuticals in wastewater. The conventional methods such as biological treatment, adsorption, etc. are ineffective and usually produce secondary pollution. In this contribution, FePO4 was synthesized using an inorganic sol–gel method assisted by microwave and used to remove IBP from water. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermal gravitational Analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), physisorption, Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS) were used to study the phase structure, morphology, and optical properties of the synthesized FePO4. Moreover, for the first time, the photocatalytic property of the as-synthesized FePO4 compound has been evaluated via the degradation of Ibuprophen under artificial sunlight illumination. The findings indicated that FePO4 has a high activity under artificial sunlight irradiation, and the IBP removal was 97 % after 120 min. Furthermore, the generation cycles indicated the higher stability of the photocatalyst to be effectively recycled up to four times without any considerable reduction in the photocatalytic performance. Finally, the involved mechanism of the photocatalytic performance of FePO4 was proposed based on the active species trapping experiments. Thus, It can be suggested that the FePO4 can serve as a promising photocatalyst in the degradation of IBP under sunlight illumination.

Iron(III) ion removal from solution through adsorption on chitosan Burke, A; Yilmaz, E; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Yilmaz, O (2002-05-09) The potential of different forms of chitosan to adsorb iron(III) ion from a Jectofer [an iron(III)-sorbitol-citric acid complex] solution was investigated. The working solution was chosen as Jectofer, to mimic the composition of excess iron(III) as may be found in biological systems. The equilibrium studies showed that chitosan powder has the highest sorption capacity for the iron(III) ion when compared to chitosan flakes and microspheres. The amount of iron(III) adsorbed onto chitosan was found to increase...
Characterization of polypyrrole-thiophene capped poly(methyl methacrylate) via pyrolysis mass spectrometry Athar, Imran; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2004-10-01) This article reports the direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry results on p-toluene sulfonate doped polypyrrole synthesized through the thiophene moities of thiophene-capped poly(methyl methacrylate), TPMMA. Pyrolysis data gave strong evidence for decomposition of the matrix polymer TPMMA during the electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole with a TPMMA coated anode. However, evolution of products diagnostic of TPMMA around 370°C, the temperature region of PPY degradation, and presence of fragments involving b...
Lithocholic acid conjugated mPEG-b-PCL micelles for pH responsive delivery to breast cancer cells

Isik, Gulhan; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2022-06-10)

© 2022 Elsevier B.V.In this study, micelles composed of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) copolymer (mPEG-b-PCL), which has ionically conjugated lithocholic acid (LCA) and providing pH sensitive release of LCA in acidic media, were prepared as drug carrier devices for cancer therapy. Micelles were produced by co-solvent evaporation method at two different temperatures (60 °C and 25 °C) and coded as LCA60**M and LCA25**M, respectively). Hydrodynamic diameters were 86.9 nm and 228.2 nm,...
Use of Fenton oxidation to improve the biodegradability of a pharmaceutical wastewater Tekin, Huseyin; BİLKAY, Okan; Ataberk, Selale S.; Balta, Tolga H.; Ceribasi, I. Haluk; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü (2006-08-21) The applicability of Fenton's oxidation to improve the biodegradability of a pharmaceutical wastewater to be treated biologically was investigated. The wastewater was originated from a factory producing a variety of pharmaceutical chemicals. Treatability studies were conducted under laboratory conditions with all chemicals (having COD varying from 900 to 7000 mg/L) produced in the factory in order to determine the operational conditions to utilize in the full-scale treatment plant. Optimum pH was determined...
UV responsive drug delivery from suprofen incorporated liposomes Demirbağ, Birsen; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2011) Drug delivery systems are designed to achieve low, local doses at the target site. Delivery systems can provide the drug in a continuous manner or in response to environmental stimuli such as temperature, pH or UV. This study aimed to develop photosensitive liposomes that achieve UV-responsive release of their content. The main mechanism was to incorporate a light sensitive molecule into the liposomal bilayer then achieve destabilization of the membrane by exposure to UV. This would result in an on demand r...
