Artificially fabricated hydroxyapatite (HAP) shows excellent biocompatibility with various kinds of cells and tissues which makes it an ideal candidate for a bone substitute material. In this study, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have been prepared by using the wet chemical precipitation method using calcium nitrate tetra-hydrate [Ca(NO$_{3})_{2}$.4H$_{2}$O] and di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate [(NH$_{4})_{2}$HPO$_{4}$] as precursors. The composite scaffolds have been prepared by a freeze-drying method with hydroxyapatite, chitosan, and gelatin which form a 3D network of interconnected pores. Glutaraldehyde solution has been used in the scaffolds to crosslink the amino groups ($\vert $NH$_{2})$ of gelatin with the aldehyde groups ($\vert $CHO) of chitosan. …
Box-Behnken Design For Removal Of Uranium(Vi) From Aqueous Solution Using Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Based Dicationic Ionic Liquid Impregnated Chitosan, Süleyman İnan, Taşkin Mumcu, Serap Seyhan Bozkurt
Box-Behnken Design For Removal Of Uranium(Vi) From Aqueous Solution Using Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Based Dicationic Ionic Liquid Impregnated Chitosan, Süleyman İnan, Taşkin Mumcu, Serap Seyhan Bozkurt
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Poly(ethylene glycol) bis(methylimidazolium) di[bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide] was synthesized as an ionic liquid and impregnated onto chitosan. The removal of uranium(VI) ions from aqueous solution was investigated with batch sorption tests using ionic liquid impregnated chitosan. Response surface methodology based on 3 level Box-Behnken design was applied to analyze the effect of initial pH (4-6), initial concentration (20-60 mg L$^{-1})$, contact time (15-105 min), and temperature (30-50 $^{\circ}$C C) on the uptake capacity of uranium(VI). Main effect of initial concentration, quadratic effect of contact time, and dual effect of initial pH and contact time were found statistically significant based on analysis of variance …
