Modeling and utilization of laurel leaves as a biomass source for the removal of zinc and copper

Öz

One of the most important non-timber forest products in Turkey, medicinal and aromatic plants, especially in the last century have become important socio-economic values. The biosorbent used in this study was prepared from Laurus nobilis L. leaves (LNL). The effects of biosorbent dosage, biosorption time, solution pH, initial zinc and copper ions concentration, humic acid or ionic strength or competitive effects on the biosorption of copper and zinc by LNL were investigated. The LNL biomass was characterized using SEM and FT-IR spectrum. The linearized and non-linearized isotherm models were compared and discussed. Zn(II) and Cu(II) biosorption fitted better in the Temkin equation and Pseudo second-order kinetic model successfully described the biomass behaviors of both heavy metals. Additionally, a single-stage batch bioreactor system for heavy metal biosorption based on the best fit non-linear isotherm equation also has been presented. It was found that heavy metal removal efficiencies were affected by competitive biosorption studies. Finally, these studies showed that the LNL can be used as an inexpensive and abundant biosorbent for removing zinc and copper ions from contaminated waters.

Çinko ve bakır gideriminde bir biyokütle kaynağı olarak defne yapraklarının kullanılması ve modellenmesi

Öz

Türkiye’de kereste dışı orman ürünlerinden olan tıbbi ve aromatik bitkiler sosyo-ekonomik açıdan bu yüzyılda önem kazanmaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada defne yapraklarından (LNL) hazırlanan bir biyokütle biyosorban olarak kullanılmıştır.  Biyosorbent dozajı, çözelti pH'sı, temas süresi, başlangıçtaki ağır metal iyonları konsantrasyonu, iyonik kuvvet, hümik asit etkisi ve LNL ile Bakır (II) ve çinko (II) 'nun biyosorpsiyonu üzerindeki rekabetçi etkiler incelenmiştir. Biyosorbent, FT-IR ve SEM görüntüleri kullanılarak karakterize edilmiştir. Doğrusallaştırılmış ve doğrusallaştırılmamış izoterm modelleri karşılaştırılmış ve tartışılmıştır. Zn (II) ve Cu (II) biyosorpsiyonu, Temkin denklemiyle daha iyi uyum sağlamış ve sahte ikinci derece reaksiyon kinetiği, her iki ağır metalin biyosorpsiyon davranışlarıyla da uyum göstermistir. Ayrıca, ağır metal biyosorpsiyonu için doğrusal olmayan en uygun izoterm denklemine dayanan tek kademeli bir toplu biyoreaktör sistemi de sunulmuştur. Ağır metal giderimini ortamdaki diğer iyonların varlığı bir miktar etkilemiştir. Bu çalışmalar LNL'nin çinko ve bakır iyonlarını kirli sulardan uzaklaştırmak için, ucuz ve bol bulunan bir biyosorban olarak, değerlendirilebileceğini göstermiştir.
