The structure of biochar produced at various pyrolysis temperatures influences metal geochemical behavior. Here, the impact of wheat straw-derived biochar (300, 500, and 700 degrees C) on the immobilization and trans-formation of metals in the contaminated soil-plant system was assessed. The findings of the sequential extraction revealed that biochar additives had a substantial influence on the speciation of Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the contaminated soil. The lowest F1 (exchangeable and soluble fraction) + F2 (carbonate fraction) accounted for Cr (44%) in WB-300, Ni (43.87%) in WB-500, Pb (43.79%), and Zn (49.78%) in WB-700 with applied amendments of their total amounts. The characterization results indicated that high pyrolysis temperatures (300-700 degrees C) increased the carbon-containing groups with the potential to adsorb metals from the soil-plant environment. The bioconcentration and translocation factors (BCF and TF) were less than 1, indicating that metal concentration was restricted to maize roots and translocation to shoots. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) intracellularly influence metal interactions with plants. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was performed to determine hydroxyl radical generation (center dot OH) in plant segments to assess the dominance of free radicals (FRs). Consequently, the formation of center dot OH significantly depends on the pyrolysis temperature and the interaction with a contaminated soil-plant environment. Thus, metal transformation can be effectively decreased in the soil-plant environment by applying WB amendments.

Role of boron carbide in carbothermic formation of hexagonal boron nitride Camurlu, H. E.; Sevinc, N.; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-08-01) Formation of hexagonal boron nitride by carbothermic reduction of boric oxide under nitrogen atmosphere at 1500 degrees C was investigated. Experiments were performed for durations in the range of 15 min to 3 h. Reaction products were subjected to powder X-ray diffraction analysis, chemical analysis and were examined by scanning electron microscope. Formation of hexagonal boron nitride was found to be complete in 3 h with most forming in the initial 2 h. Boron carbide was found to exist in the reaction prod...
Effect of Au on the crystallization of germanium thin films by electron-beam evaporation EYGİ, ZEYNEP DENİZ; KULAKCI, MUSTAFA; Turan, Raşit (2014-11-01) Metal induced crystallization is a widely used method to form crystalline/polycrystalline structures at low temperatures. In this work, Au was applied to enhance the crystallization of amorphous Ge films. Ge films with thicknesses of similar to 1.5 mu m were fabricated by electron beam evaporation on c-Si substrate with and without very thin Au layer. Crystallization properties of Ge films were analyzed for different growth and post annealing temperatures varied between 270 degrees C and 730 degrees C. The ...
Effect of limestone addition on radiative heat transfer during co-firing of high-sulfur content lignite with biomass in fluidized bed combustors Ates, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2018-01-01) In this study, influence of limestone addition on radiative heat transfer during co-firing of high-sulfur content lignite with olive residue in the freeboard of 300 kW(t) Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) is investigated by using an in-house developed radiation code based on Method of Lines (MOL) solution of Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM). The freeboard is treated as a 3D rectangular enclosure containing gray, absorbing, emitting gas with absorbing, emitting, anisotropically scattering p...
Effects of Nb2O5 addition on the formation and properties of Bi-based superconductors Ghazanfari, Nader; Özkan, Hüsnü; Department of Physics (2006) Effects of Nb2O5 addition on the formation and properties of the Bi-based superconductors were studied. The superconducting samples were synthesized by two different methods, the solid state reaction (SSR) and ammonium nitrate melt route (ANM) to obtain information about the growth techniques. Ten samples (five with each method) with the chemical compositions of Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3NbxOy, with x= 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.30 were prepared. Phase identification, structural and microstructural analysis wer...
Role of Local Polymer Conformations on the Diverging Glass Transition Temperatures and Dynamic Fragilities of Isotactic-, Syndiotactic-, and Atactic-Poly(methyl methacrylate)s Shen, Jialong; Yıldırım, Erol; Li, Shanshan; Caydamli, Yavuz; Pasquinelli, Melissa A.; Tonelli, Alan E. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-05-28) The profound stereosequence dependence of the glass transition temperature (T-g) of poly(methyl methacrylate)s (PMMAs) offers the possibility to evaluate any conformational contributions to their glass formation processes. Close to T-g for a given polymer liquid, the viscosity and relaxation time increase dramatically, leading to the temperature dependence of its dynamics to deviate from Arrhenius behavior. The degree of that deviation is called dynamic fragility (m). The broad reported variations for T-g o...
