Su arıtımı için farklı filtreleme katmanlarına sahip yenilikçi ve orijinal taşınabilir pipet geliştirilmesi

Abstract

Çevre, yeryüzündeki canlıların yaşamları boyunca sürekli etkileşimde bulundukları dış ortamdır. Çevrede meydana gelebilecek herhangi bir olumsuz durum canlı hayatını büyük ölçüde etkiler. Artan sanayileşme ve kentleşme ile birlikte artan nüfus çevre kirliliğinin temel nedenleridir. Su kirliliği, insan faaliyetleri sonucu suyun fiziksel, kimyasal veya biyolojik özellikleri üzerinde meydana gelen olumsuz etkileri kapsamaktadır. Canlılar için hayati değere sahip olan suyun her geçen gün farklı etkenlerle kirlenmesi, içilebilir su kaynaklarının azalmasına neden olmaktadır. Çalışmamızda farklı su kaynaklarının içilebilir su olarak kullanılmasına yönelik portatif bir pipet tasarlanmıştır. Tasarladığımız pipette dört farklı filtre katmanı kullanıldı. Filtrasyon malzemesi olarak kaba filtre, aktif karbon, manyetik nanopartikül ve gümüş nanopartikül kullanılmıştır. Çalışmamız kapsamında manyetik nanopartikül ve gümüş nanopartikül sentezi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Geliştirdiğimiz saflaştırma pipetinin performansı, farklı konsantrasyonlarda metil paration içeren numuneler ile analiz edilmiştir. Yöntemimizin analitik performansının belirlenmesinde analiz cihazı olarak UV-Vis spektrofotometresi kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda geliştirdiğimiz pipetin analitin konsantrasyonundan bağımsız olarak yaklaşık %65 oranında saflaştırma yapabildiği bulunmuştur. Bu değer kirlilik ihtiva eden suların içilebilir hale gelmesi bakımından oldukça umut vericidir.

Development of an innovative and original portable pipette with different filtration layers for water purification

Abstract

The environment is the external environment in which living creatures on Earth constantly interact throughout their lives. Any negative situation that may occur in the environment greatly affects living life. Increasing industrialization and urbanization along with the ever-increasing population are the main causes of environmental pollution. Water pollution covers the negative effects on the physical, chemical or biological properties of water as a result of human activities. The pollution of water, which is of vital value for living things, due to different factors every day, causes the decrease in potable water resources. In our study, a portable pipette was designed to use different water sources as drinkable water. Four different filter layers were used in the pipette we designed. Filter layers used; coarse filter, activated carbon, magnetic nanoparticle and silver nanoparticle (AgNP). Magnetic nanoparticle and silver nanoparticle were synthesized within the scope of our study. The performance of the purification pipette we developed was investigated with samples containing methyl parathion at different concentrations. In our study, a UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used as an analysis device. As a result of the analyses, it was found that the pipette we developed could purify around 65%, regardless of the concentration of the analyte. The portable purification pipette we developed in our study is promising in terms of making water resources found in nature drinkable, especially in military operations.
