Abstract

− This study describes the evaluation of orange peel waste (PKA) for the removal of Ni(II) ions
from aqueous solutions. The effects of different parameters such as pH, initial metal ion concentration,
contact time were investigated for adsorption efficiency. It was determined that the best initial Ni (II) ion
concentration was 150 mg/L, adsorption contact time was 100 min, and solution pH was 6.27. The surface properties of the orange peel waste were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
energy dispersive spectroscopy, scanning and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results showed that the isotherm data fit the Langmuir isotherm model, which corresponds to chemisorption and possible irreversibility of the process. The adsorption capacity for Ni (II) was calculated to be 4.92, 5.90 and 8.04 mg/g at 298 K, 308 K and 318 K, respectively. As a result of the adsorption kinetic data, it was determined that the adsorption of Ni (II) metal ion fits the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption of Ni(II) ion on orange peel is spontaneous and endothermic. It has been seen that OPW is an effective and alternative material for the uptake of Ni (II) ions from the aqueous medium due to its high removal capacity, availability and low cost

Sulu Çözeltilerden Nikel(II) İyonlarının Uzaklaştırılmasında Portakal Kabuğu Atığının Kullanılması: Denge, Kinetik Ve Termodinamik Çalışmalar

Abstract

Bu çalışma, sulu çözeltilerden Ni(II) iyonlarının uzaklaştırılması için portakal kabuğu atığının
(PKA) değer-lendirilmesini anlatmaktadır. Adsorpsiyon verimi için; pH, başlangıç metal iyon konsantrasyonu, temas süresi ve sıcaklık gibi farklı parametrelerin etkileri araştırıldı. Ni (II) iyonu için, en iyi
başlangıç konsantrasyonunun 150 mg/L, adsorpsiyon temas süresinin 100 dakika ve çözelti pH'ının 6.27
olduğu şartların en uygun çalışma koşulları olduğu belirlendi. Portakal kabuğu atığının yüzey özellikleri, taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM), enerji dağılımlı spektroskopi ve Fourier dönüşümü kızılötesi
spektroskopisi (FT-IR) kullanılarak araştırıldı. Sonuçlar, izoterm verilerinin, kimyasal adsorpsiyona ve
işlemin olası tersinmezliğine karşılık gelen Langmuir izoterm modeline (Freundlich, Dubinin- Radushkevich ve Temkin modelleriyle karşılaştırıldığında) uyduğunu gösterdi. Ni (II) için adsorpsiyon kapasitesi 298 K, 308 K ve 318 K'de sırasıyla 4.92, 5.90 ve 8.04 mg/g olarak hesaplanmıştır. Adsorp-siyon
kinetik verileri sonucunda Ni (II) metal iyonunun kinetiği incelendiğinde, (Yalancı birinci derece, Yalancı ikinci derece, Weber- Morris ve Elovich kinetik modelleri) adsorpsiyonunun Yalanci ikinci derece
kinetik modele (pseudo-second-order) uyduğu belirlendi. Termodinamik çalışmalar portakal kabuğu
üzerinde Ni(II) iyonunun adsorpsiyonunun kendiliğinden ve endotermik olduğunu göstermiştir. Atık
portakal kabuklarının, yüksek uzak-laştırma kapasitesi, kolay bulunabilirliği, düşük maliyeti, kullanılabilir bir tarımsal atık olması, geri dönüşümü ve çevreye zarar vermemesi gibi nedenlerle sulu ortamdan
Ni(II) iyonlarının alınmasında farklı adsorbanlarla karşılaştırıldığında, etkili ve alternatif bir malzeme
olduğu görülmüştür.
