    Sorption of barium on kaolinite, montmorillonite and chlorite
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 1989) Eylem, C.; Erten, H. N.; Göktürk, H.
    The sorption characteristics of the Ba2+ ion on kaolinite, montmorillonite and chloritetype clays were studied using the batch method. Barium-133 was used as a tracer. The Ba2+ ion concentrations ranged from 10-8 to 10-5 mol l-1; synthetic groundwater was used and the grain size of all the solid particles was <40 μm. About 6, 8 and 12 d of shaking were necessary to reach equilibrium for chlorite, kaolinite and montmorillonite, respectively. The sorption isotherms were described best by Freundlich and Dubinin - Radushkevich type isotherms. Sorption was predominantly reversible for kaolinite and partly reversible for montmorillonite and chlorite.

    Sorption of phenol and radioactive cesium onto surfactant modified insolubilized humic acid
    (2010) Celebi, O.; Erten, H. N.
    In this study, the sorption behavior of two important contaminants, phenol and radioactive cesium (137Cs), onto surfactant modified insolubilized humic acid (SMIA) were investigated as a function of time, sorbate concentration utilizing the radiotracer method and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Phenol sorption process was well described by both Freundlich and Tempkin type isotherms, and cesium sorption was described by Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms. It was found that SMIA adsorbs both cations and phenolic substances. Kinetic studies indicated that adsorption behavior of phenol obey the pseudo second order rate law. FTIR spectroscopic technique was used to understand the structural changes during modification process with surfactants.
