The main aim of this study is to combine the sol-gel technology and renewable surface flow injection analysis (RS-FIA) techniques for iron speciation and determination. Thus the home-made FIA system, which consists of 2 syringe pumps and 3 multi-position selection valves, is modified with two flow cells (magnetic cell and jet ring cell) in order to be suitable for renewable surface flow injection technique. All the computer programs used for flow injection analysis are modified to control the whole system automatically. Two different types of solid phase extraction materials are used for the speciation of iron in aqueous systems. Magnetic beads coated with primary amino groups are utilized for the determination of Fe (III). The magnetic bead reactor is created within the flowing stream by retaining the magnetic beads with a home-made electromagnet. The elution cycle for Fe (III) is done with 0.1 M EDTA solution and determined on-line by transferring to an atomic absorption spectrometer. The spent beads are collected off-line and regenerated. For the preconcentration of Fe (II), ferrozine doped sol-gel beads are prepared as reactive and disposable surfaces. These beads are handled by the system equipped with a jet ring cell which is connected on-line to a portable UV-VIS fiber optic spectrometer. Amino sol-gel and ferrozine-doped sol-gel beads are prepared using sol-gel technology and characterized by using surface techniques. Their performances in preconcentration and speciation of iron and the influence of different experimental parameters such as pH, the sequence of reagents, reactor lengths and reaction periods on the flow system are investigated. Renewable surface flow injection analysis is performed by either bead injection or sequential bead injection methods.

Dataset on the Marine Sustainability in the United Arab Emirates Gülseven, Osman (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) This data compiles the relevant indicators on measuring the UAE's attainments towards sustaining marine life and coastal ecosystems. Those indicators are compiled from three databases, namely from the United Nations, BertelsmannStiftung (BS) Foundation, and the Ocean Health Index (OHI). While the UN and BS indicators are widely accepted in measuring sustainability, many of the indicators in these databases are ambiguous and incomplete. The data from OHI is complete and offers a better perspective on measuri...
Preconcentration of germanium on mercapto-modified silica gel Gokturk, G; Delzendeh, M; Volkan, Mürvet (2000-07-14) A simple method for the determination of ultra-trace amounts of germanium in natural waters has been developed. Germanium was preconcentrated using silica having mercapto functional groups, namely mercapto silica and determined by hydride generation flame atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS). Utilising mercapto silica, satisfactory recovery values (> 95%) were obtained at natural pH, for germanate concentrations as low as 50 ng 1(-1) Considering the highest preconcentration factor (400-fold) obtained, the...
Integrated carbon dioxide mitigation and nutrient removal from municipal and industrial wastewater using microalgal systems Kılıç, Gece Cansu; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Uludağ Demirer, Sibel; Department of Environmental Engineering (2017) The aim of this master thesis study is to investigate the nutrient removal efficiency from different kinds of wastewaters and the carbon dioxide mitigation in photobioreactors with unialgal culture, Chlorella vulgaris. In the first part of the study, Chlorella vulgaris culture was cultivated in the Bold’s basal medium in batch reactors to increase the biomass content and to observe the growth phases of alga. Then, two parallel photobioreactors (PBRs) were run to cultivate Chlorella vulgaris culture semi-con...
Inferring conductivity and eutrophication in Turkish shallow lakes by using subfossil Diatoms Bezirci, Gizem; Sayer, Carl; Levi, Eti; Çakıroğlu, İdil; Bennion, Helen; Beklioğlu, Meryem (2016-08-31) In recent years, paleolimnologists have the ability of making accurate environmental predictions using high quality data sets through the help of modern techniques and analytical methods for answering questions about past and present status of freshwater environments. Diatoms play an important role in freshwater ecosystems as being good indicators of water quality and they provide valuable information about current and past status of lakes due to their high sensitivity about shifts in trophic status of the ...
Numerical investigations on the hydrogen jet pressure variations in a strut based scramjet combustor Suppandipillai, Jeyakumar; Kandasamy, Jayaraman; Sivakumar, R.; Karaca, Mehmet; Karthik, K. (2021-04-01) Purpose – This paper aims to study the influences of hydrogen jet pressure on flow features of a strut-based injector in a scramjet combustor underreacting cases are numerically investigated in this study. Design/methodology/approach – The numerical analysis is carried out using Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations with the Shear Stress Transport k-v turbulence model in contention to comprehend the flow physics during scramjet combustion. The three major parameters such as the shock wave pattern...
