Article Adsorption of Crystal Violet Dye With Selenium Nanoparticles Obtained by Green Synthesis From Cherry (prunus Avium L.) Fruit Stalk(2024) Solmaz, Alper; Turna, Talip; Baran, AyşeThe rapid development of the global production printing and dyeing industry has led to an increase in the demand for various dyes. Crystal violet (CV), a versatile dye, is widely used in the textile industry and other applications. The reason for its widespread use is its effectiveness and the vivid color it gives to fabrics.CV dye is a water-soluble, toxic, resistant organic dye that is quite dangerous for the ecosystem and causes environmental pollution. Therefore, it must be removed before being released into the recipient environment. This study synthesized selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) from agricultural Prunus avium L. (PaL.) wastes and removed CV dye. In batch adsorption tests, the effects of pH, amount of adsorbent, time, initial concentration, and temperature were investigated. In this study, where 3 different kinetic and isotherm models were tested, it was determined that the most suitable kinetic and isotherm models for the removal of CV dye with PaL-Se NPs were Pseudo second order (R2:0.999) and Langmuir (R2:0.997), respectively. Additionally, the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) was calculated as 142.61 mgCV/g PaL-Se NP. Accordingly, it can be said that low-cost PaL-Se NPs synthesized by environmentally friendly methods are a suitable alternative for the removal of CV dye.Article Green Synthesis Study: Adsorption of Congo Red Dye With Selenium Nanoparticles Obtained From prunus Armeniaca L. Leaf Waste(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2024) Turna, Talip; Solmaz, Alper; Baran, AyseIn this study, it was aimed to remove Congo Red (CR) dye in aqueous solution by biosynthesized Selenium Nanoparticles from Prunus armeniaca L. (PAL-SeNPs) leaf wastes by green synthesis method. The characteristic structure of PAL-SeNPs was determined by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zetasizer, and point of zero charge (pHpzc). The effects of pH, adsorbent amount, time, initial concentration, and temperature were investigated by batch adsorption studies. 2 different kinetic and 4 isotherm models were tested and error analysis functions were determined for the most suitable model. Accordingly, the particle size, crystallinity, pHpzc value and average surface charge of PAL-SeNPs were determined as 9.969 nm, 48.50 %, 3.47, and -23.6 mV, respectively. Also, the most suitable kinetic and isotherm models for the removal of CR dye with PAL-SeNPs were found as Pseudo-second-order and Freundlich, with R2 values of 0.996, respectively. Also, where the optimum pH was 7.00, the maximum adsorption capacity was calculated as 96.59 mgCR/gPAL-SeNPs. The results obtained show that environmentally friendly and low-cost PAL-SeNPs produced by the green synthesis method are a suitable alternative for the removal of CR dye.
