Abstract: In this study, Chitosan TPP beads and Chitosan TPP beads in the presence of PEG was prepared. PEG was added to achieve porosity after the removal of the polymer. The samples were characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis. The swelling behaviour was followed in pH 1.2, 7, and 11 and their Fe3+ ion adsorption rate from aqueous solution was determined at pH 1.2. Beads prepared both in the presence and absence of PEG contained porosity. Chi-TPP porous beads prepared by PEG leaching method swelled more in aqueous media having a swelling ratio of about 3500% in acidic media, 350% in neutral media and 400% in basic media as compared with Chi-TPP beads with swelling ratio of 2000% in acidic media, 150% in neutral media and 200% in basic media. The beads served as effective adsorbents for Fe3+. The Chi-TPP PEG beads showed a better adsorption capacity for Fe3+ and better swelling behavior as a result of increased hydrophilicity due to PEG treatment. The adsorption behavior obeyed Langmuir model and the kinetics followed pseudo second order. Keywords: Chitosan, Polyethyleneglycol, Fe3+ adsorption.
ÖZ: Bu çalışmada kitosan TPP jel boncukların hazırlanması ve çözeltiden Fe3+ adsorplama davranışları incelenmiştir. Kitosan TPP jel boncuklar PEG porojen varlığında ve yokluğunda sulu çözeltiden koagülasyon yöntemi ile elde edilmiş ve birbirleriyle bazı fiziksel özellikleri bakımından karşılaştırılmıştır. Örnekler FTIR ve SEM analizi yöntemleri ile incelenmiş ve sulu asitli, nötr ve bazik ortamda şişme davranışları ile pH=1.2 tampon çözeltide Fe3+ adsorplama davranışları çalışılmıştır. Jel boncuklar PEG den arındırıldıktan sonra gözenekli yapıda önemli bir değişiklik saptanamamıştır. Ancak bu işlemden sonra jel boncukların daha hidrofilik bir yapıya sahip oldukları şişme ve Fe3+ adsorplama kapasitelerinin arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Jel boncukların Fe3+ adsorplama davranışlarının Langmuir modeline uyduğu ve ikinci dereceden kinetiğe sahip olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: polietilen glikol, kitosan, tripolifosfat, jel boncuk, Fe3+ adsorpsiyonu
