The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of cobalt from zinc sulfate solution by cementation with the help of conventional and new type of additives that were 4% Sn-zinc alloy powder and 10% Sn-zinc alloy powder, respectively. Synthetic leach solutions containing 150 g/l Zn and 75 mg/l Co were prepared and used in all of the experiments. The parameters researched with the conventional method were the amount of arsenic trioxide and the effect of copper sulfate on cementation of cobalt. While using the alloys, the parameters studied were the amounts of arsenic trioxide, copper sulfate and tin containing zinc alloy powder additions, cementation duration and temperature. The difference in the optimization of alloy additions was in the amount of addition of arsenic trioxide. The amount of 4%Sn-zinc alloy powder was tried to be optimized with the addition of arsenic trioxide whereas the optimization was tried to be done without any arsenic addition while using 10%Sn-zinc alloy. The XRD and SEM studies of the cementates were also performed. The obtained results indicated that tin containing alloys were much better than pure zinc. With the additions of 4 g/l 4%Sn-Zn alloy dust, 1.2 g/l CuSO4.5H2O, 0.12 g/l As2O3 and in 2 hours of cementation duration at 85-90oC, the maximum amount of cobalt cementation efficiency was achieved. The experiments indicated that cobalt in the solution could be reduced to about 2 mg/l by using 10%Sn-zinc alloy powder with an initial Sn/Co weight ratio of 13.25:1 without the addition of arsenic trioxide at 85oC in 2 hours of cementation duration.

Activation of poly(dimer acid-co-alkyl polyamine) particles for covalent immobilization of alpha-amylase Hasırcı, Nesrin; Tumturk, Hayrettin (2006-12-01) Poly(dimer acid-co-alkyl polyamine) particles were activated by using various chemicals such as carbodiimide (CDI), ethylene diamine (EDA), and hexamethylene diamine (HMDA) and studied as support materials for covalent immobilization of alpha-amylase. The activities of the immobilized enzymes on these activated particles were investigated. The highest activity of free enzyme was obtained at pH 7.5 while this value was shifted to pH 6.5 for CDI and EDA activated systems and to pH 8.0 for HMDA activated syste...
Solid-phase enzyme modification via affinity chromatography Baran, ET; Ozer, N; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2003-09-05) In the present study antileukemic enzyme L-asparaginase (ASNase) and catalase (as a model enzyme) were modified in solid-phase with activated polyethylene glycol (PEG,) by using ligand-immobilized affinity column systems L-asparagine-Sepharose CL-4B and Procion red-Sepharose CL-4B, respectively. Studies on change of specific activity with modification time showed negligible differences between batches of modified catalase. Modification of ASNase for I It resulted in 50.2% recovery of the specific activity a...
Preparation of Chitosan-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles and Application for Immobilization of Laccase Kalkan, Nuzhet Ayca; AKSOY, SERPİL; Aksoy, Eda Ayse; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2012-01-15) In this study, immobilization of laccase (L) enzyme on magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles was achieved, so that the immobilized enzyme could be used repeatedly. For this purpose, Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were coated and functionalized with chitosan (CS) and laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized onto chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe(3)O(4)-CS) by adsorption or covalent binding after activating the hydroxyl groups of chitosan with carbodiimide (EDAC) or cyanuric chloride (CC). For chitosa...
PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HUMAN MENINGIOMA M2-TYPE PYRUVATE-KINASE MELLATI, AA; YUCEL, M; ALTINORS, N; Gündüz, Ufuk (1993-10-01) The M2-type pyruvate kinase was purified from human meningioma by ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by ion exchange and affinity chromatography. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 33.4 U/mg with a yield of 6.5%.
Removal of hexavalent chromium anions via polymer enhanced ultrafiltration using a fully ionized polyelectrolyte HAKTANIR, CEREN; Ozbelge, H. Onder; Bicak, Niyazi; Yılmaz, Levent (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) A fully ionized polyelectrolyte was synthesized for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions by continuous polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF). Effect of operating parameters such as pH, loading, polymer, and competing ion concentrations were examined. Highest Cr(VI) retention was obtained at a loading of 0.01 at pH 4. Increasing both polymer and chromate concentrations at a fixed loading of 0.01 decreased the retention which demonstrated the effect of crowding. In the presence of competing anions such as ...
