    Cancer is a major disease that affects millions of people around the world every year. It affects individuals of all ages, races, and backgrounds. Since drugs used to treat cancer cannot distinguish between cancerous and healthy cells, they cause systemic toxicity along with serious side effects. Recently, controlled drug-release systems have been developed to reduce the side effects caused by anticancer drugs used for treatment. Morin is an anticancer drug with a flavonol structure. It has been extensively researched for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral, and antibacterial properties, especially found in Chinese herbs and fruits, and its multiple positive effects on different diseases. In this study, a nanocomposite with magnetic properties was synthesized by coating biocompatible activated carbon obtained using the fruits of the Celtis tournefortii plant on the surface of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles. Characterization of the synthesized activated carbon-coated iron oxide magnetic nanocomposite was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The cytotoxic effects of the drug-loaded magnetic nanocomposite were examined in HT-29 (colorectal), T98-G (glioblastoma) cancer cell lines, and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) healthy cell line. The morin loading and release behavior of the activated carbon-coated iron oxide magnetic nanocomposite were studied, and the results showed that up to 60% of the adsorbed morin was released within 4 h. In summary, activated carbon-coated iron oxide magnetic nanocomposite carriers have shown promising results for the delivery of the morin drug.

    Effective Removal of Dyes from Aqueous Systems by Waste-Derived Carbon Adsorbent: Physicochemical Characterization and Adsorption Studies
    (Nature Research, 2025) Kuyucu, Ali Ender; Selçuk, Ahmet; Önal, Yunus; Alacabey, İhsan; Erol, Kadir
    Due to their cost-effectiveness and high surface area, activated carbons are commonly used for the adsorption of dyes from aqueous solutions. In this study, activated carbon was synthesized from walnut shell waste via KOH activation (1:3 ratio), yielding a surface area of 2347.4 m²/g. Reactive Blue 19 and Reactive Red 195 adsorption behavior were studied under varying experimental conditions. These included natural pH values (6.8–7.2), dye concentrations between 50 and 1250 mg L⁻¹, and adsorbent dosages ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 g. Adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 150 min. The maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 1227.17 mg g⁻¹ for RB 19 and 235.74 mg g⁻¹ for RR 195. Isotherm modeling was conducted using Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich models, with Freundlich providing the best fit for both dyes, indicating multilayer adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption processes were spontaneous and endothermic, with negative Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), positive enthalpy (ΔH°), and positive entropy (ΔS°) values. These results highlight the high adsorption performance and practical potential of walnut shell-derived activated carbon for dye removal from wastewater. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Efficient Removal of Ciprofloxacin From Water Using High-Surface Activated Carbon Derived From Rice Husks: Adsorption Isotherms, Kinetics, and Thermodynamic Evaluation
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2025) Demirdağ, E.; Demirel, M.F.; Benek, V.; Doğru, E.; Önal, Y.; Alkan, M.H.; Alacabey, İ.
    Activated carbon is widely recognized as an effective material for removing pollutants, especially pharmaceutical residues, from water. In this study, high-surface-area activated carbon derived from rice husks (RHAC) was synthesized via KOH activation and used for the adsorption of ciprofloxacin, a widely used fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Its adsorption behavior was systematically investigated through batch experiments varying the pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature. The RHAC exhibited a high surface area of 1539.7 m2/g and achieved a maximum adsorption capacity of 398.4 mg·g−1. The Freundlich isotherm best describes its adsorption equilibrium, suggesting multilayer adsorption on a heterogeneous surface. Kinetic modeling revealed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo second-order model (R2 = 0.9981), indicating chemisorption as the rate-limiting mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔH° = 6.61 kJ/mol, ΔG° < 0) confirmed that the process was endothermic and spontaneous. These findings demonstrate that RHAC is a highly efficient, low-cost, and sustainable adsorbent for removing ciprofloxacin from aqueous environments. © 2025 by the authors.
