Öğe Active carbon/graphene hydrogel nanocomposites as a symmetric device for supercapacitors(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2016) Ates, Murat; Cinar, Damla; Caliskan, Sinan; Gecgel, Unal; Uner, Osman; Bayrak, Yuksel; Candan, IdrisActivated carbons (ACs) are successfully synthesized from Elaeagnus grain by a simple chemical synthesis methodology and demonstrated as novel, suitable supercapacitor electrode materials for graphene hydrogel (GH)/AC nanocomposites. GH/AC nanocomposites are synthesized via hydrothermal process at temperature of 180 degrees C. The low-temperature thermal exfoliation approach is convenient for mass production of graphene hydrogel (GH) at low cost and it can be used as electrode material for energy storage applications. The GH/AC nanocomposites exhibit better electrochemical performances than the pure GH. Electrochemical performance of the electrodes is studied by cyclic voltammetry, and galvanostatic charge-discharge measurements in 1.0 M H2SO4 solution. A remarkable specific capacitance of 602.36 Fg(1) (based on GH/AC nanocomposites for 0.4 g AC) is obtained at a scan rate of 1 mVs(1) in 1 M H2SO4 solution and 155.78 Fg(1) for GH. The specific capacitance was increased 3.87 times for GH/AC compared to GH electrodes. Moreover, the GH/AC nanocomposites for 0.2 g AC present excellent long cycle life with 99.8% specific capacitance retained after 1000 charge/discharge processes. Herein, ACs prepared from Elaeagnus grain are synthesized GH and AC supercapacitor device for high-performance electrical energy storage devices as a promising substitute to conventional electrode materials for EDLCs.Öğe ADSORPTION OF BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN ONTO ACTIVATED CARBON PREPARED FROM ELAEAGNUS STONE(Chem Soc Ethiopia, 2018) Gecgel, Unal; Uner, OsmanIn this study, the adsorption of bovine serum albumin was studied using the activated carbon prepared from Elaeagnus stone with chemical activation.

The resultant Elaeagnus activated carbon (EAC) with a high activated specific surface area of 1588m(2)/g was characterized using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, Fourier transform infrared spectra, point of zero charge, and scanning electron microscopy. The removals of cationic dyes, i.e., malachite green (MG), rhodamine B (RB), and methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions via EAC adsorption were characterized by investigating the effects of adsorbent concentration, contact time, initial dye concentration, and temperature. Langmuir model provided the most appropriate fit for all EAC dye adsorption processes, and the adsorption capacities for MB, RB, and MG at 25? were calculated to be 288.18, 281.69, and 432.90mg/g, respectively. The EAC adsorption curves of MB, RB, and MG follow a pseudo second-order kinetic model, and the calculated thermodynamic parameters, i.e., G degrees, H degrees, and S degrees revealed that the synthetic dye adsorptions from aqueous solution were endothermic and spontaneous.Öğe Adsorption of Methylene Blue by an Efficient Activated Carbon Prepared from Citrullus lanatus Rind: Kinetic, Isotherm, Thermodynamic, and Mechanism Analysis(Springer International Publishing Ag, 2016) Uner, Osman; Gecgel, Unal; Bayrak, YukselBy using the activated carbon obtained from Citrullus lanatus rind by zinc chloride activation, methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solutions was studied, and the adsorption mechanism was solved through Weber-Morris intraparticle diffusion model, Bangham model, Boyd model, Fourier transform infrared spectra, and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of adsorption parameters (adsorbent concentration, temperature, initial dye concentration, and pH) were investigated. The equilibrium data of MB adsorption were described by applying the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models.

Also, the date obtained from intraparticle diffusion model, Bangham model, and Boyd model presented that intraparticle diffusion, pore diffusion, and film diffusion played significant role in MB adsorption. The thermodynamic studies demonstrated that MB adsorption onto the activated carbon obtained from C. lanatus rind was physical, spontaneous, feasible, and endothermic. Thus, the activated carbon prepared from C. lanatus rind has been an efficient adsorbent for MB removal from an aqueous solution.Öğe Adsorption of Remazol Brilliant Blue R on activated carbon prepared from a pine cone(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Gecgel, Unal; Kolancilar, HakanIn this work the activated pine cone was investigated as adsorbent to remove Remazol Brilliant Blue R from aqueous solution.

For adsorption temperature effect, adsorption temperature was investigated from 25 degrees C to 45 degrees C by holding adsorbent dosage constant (10 mg/50mL). By holding constant adsorbent dosage of 10 mg/50mL, contact time effect from 0 to 210 min was investigated with initial DS concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mg/L. To examine pH effect, pH parameters were adjusted from 2.84 to 10.20. Besides, adsorption isotherm model, kinetic and thermodynamic studies carried out in this study are given. Langmuir isotherm model was determined to be the best fitting isotherm model for diclofenac sodium adsorption on sycamore ball activated carbon. Also, the maximum sodium diclofenac adsorption on sycamore ball activated carbon was calculated 178.89 mg/g at 25 degrees C, and kinetic data displayed that this adsorption occurred quite fast. Pseudo-first and pseudo-second order models were applied for sodium diclofenac adsorption on sycamore ball activated carbon, and the correlation coefficient values of 1.000-0.998 indicate that this adsorption was well fitting with pseudo-second order model.

In this study, sycamore balls, ripe black locust seed pods, and Nerium oleander fruits have been used as starting materials by ZnCl2 chemical activations for the first time. Firstly, activated carbons were obtained from these starting materials with ZnCl2 chemical activation by changing production conditions (carbonization time, carbonization temperature, and impregnation ratio) also affecting the structural and textural properties of the resultant activated carbons. Then, the starting materials and resultant activated carbons were characterized by utilizing diverse analysis techniques, such as TGA, elemental analysis, proximate analysis, BET surface areas, pore volumes, pore size distributions, N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, SEM, FTIR spectra, and H-2 adsorption isotherms. The highest surface areas were determined to be 1492.89, 1564.84, and 1375.47 m(2)/g for the activated carbons obtained from sycamore balls, ripe black locust seed pods, and N. oleander fruits, respectively. The yields of these activated carbons with the highest surface areas were calculated to be around 40%. As the carbonization temperature increased with sufficient ZnCl2 amount, N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherms began to turn into Type IV isotherms given by mesoporous adsorbents with its hysteresis loops. Also, their hysteresis loops resembled Type H4 loop generally associated with narrow slit-like pores. Moreover, hydrogen uptakes under 750 mmHg at 77 K were determined to be 1.31, 1.48, and 1.24 wt% for the activated carbons with the maximum surface areas produced from sycamore balls, ripe black locust seed pods, and N. oleander fruits, respectively. As a result, the highest surface areas of the activated carbons with different structural properties produced in this study were obtained with different production conditions.Öğe Investigating Fatty Acid Composition of Samples were Homogenized Various Meat and Offal Products from Turkey(Wiley, 2015) Coskuntuna, Levent; Gecgel, Umit; Yilmaz, Ismail; Gecgel, Unal; Dulger, Gizem CaglaThe aim of the present study was to compare the fatty acid composition, PUFA:SFA ratio, n6/n3 ratio, and TFA of different farm animal meats and offal products.
