Abstract

In the present study, nano sized Fe3O4 particles (NPs) and composites (NCs) were prepared by a simple solvo-thermal method in ethylene, di-ethylene or tetraethylene glycol solutions for the removal of arsenic from tap water. Adsorption experiments were conducted by adding Fe3O4 NPs, and Fe3O4- graphene oxide (GO), Fe3O4-GO -ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and Fe3O4-GO-Glutatyon (GLU) NCs to the tap water containing 50 ppm standard arsenic acid solution (H3AsO4). The best arsenic adsorption capacity (81.39 %, 72.00 mg As/ g NPs) was obtained from bare Fe3O4 NP’s group. In the second stage, it was aimed to investigate the effects of Fe3O4 NPs on medicinal leeches (Hirudo verbana) as experimental animal. In this stage, the effect of the different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.75 and 1 mg/L) of Fe3O4 NPs on the leeches H. verbana and heavy metal accumulations were determined at the end of 96 hours. Different doses of Fe3O4 NPs had no adverse effects on survival of the medicinal leeches, although heavy metal accumulations of the leeches were found different significantly compared to the control group (P<0.001). In conclusion, Fe3O4 NPs showed the best performance with respect to arsenic removal from tap water and the biocompatibility tests. These findings highlight the dual potential of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles in water remediation and ecological safety, offering a promising route for sustainable environmental applications

Özet

Bu çalışmada, musluk suyundan arseniğin uzaklaştırılması için etilen, di-etilen ve tetraetilen glikol çözeltilerinde basit bir solvotermal yöntemle nano boyutlu Fe3O4 parçacıkları (NP'ler) ve kompozitleri (NC'ler) hazırlanmıştır. Adsorpsiyon deneyleri, 50 ppm standart arsenik asit çözeltisi (H3AsO4) içeren musluk suyuna Fe3O4 NP'ler, Fe3O4-grafen oksit (GO), Fe3O4-GO-etilen diamin tetra asetik asit (EDTA) ve Fe3O4-GO-Glutatyon (GLU) NC'ler eklenerek gerçekleştirilmiştir. En iyi arsenik adsorpsiyon kapasitesi (% 81,39, 72,00 mg As/g NP) Fe3O4 NP'ler grubundan elde edilmiştir. İkinci aşamada, Fe3O4 NP'lerin deney hayvanı olarak kullanılan tıbbi sülükler (Hirudo verbana) üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu aşamada, farklı Fe3O4 NP konsantrasyonlarının (0, 0,25, 0,75 ve 1 mg/L) H. verbana sülükleri ve 96 saatin sonunda ağır metal birikimleri üzerindeki etkisi belirlenmiştir. Farklı Fe3O4 NP dozlarının tıbbi sülüklerin sağkalımı üzerinde olumsuz bir etkisi görülmemiştir; ancak sülüklerin ağır metal birikimleri kontrol grubuna kıyasla önemli ölçüde farklı bulunmuştur (P<0,001). Sonuç olarak, Fe3O4 NP'leri musluk suyundan arsenik giderimi ve biyouyumluluk testleri açısından en iyi performansı göstermiştir. Bu bulgular, Fe₃O₄ nanopartiküllerinin su iyileştirme ve ekolojik güvenlikteki ikili potansiyelini vurgulamakta ve sürdürülebilir çevre uygulamaları için umut verici bir yol sunmaktadır.
