Environmental regulations have imposed limitations on a wide variety of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial textile wastewaters. There are several degradation methods used in literature studies. Among these methods ozonation is one of the most considered way to degrade refractory chemicals in textile wastewaters. In recent years, catalytic ozonation as being one of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), is applied to reduce the ozone consumption and to increase the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) removals. Ozonation and catalytic ozonation of single and mixed dye solutions have been examined both in a semi-batch reactor and also in a three phase fluidized bed reactor. The dyes that are used in this study are Basic Blue 41 (BB-41), Basic Yellow 28 (BY-28) and Basic Red 18.1 (BR-18.1), these dyes are obtained from AKSA A.Ş. (Yalova, İstanbul) textile plant. In order to measure the concentration of each dye in the mixed dye solution, “absorbance vs. concentration” calibration correlations were developed. The effect of inlet dye concentration, inlet gas and liquid flow rates, pH, catalyst type [perflorooctyl alumina (PFOA) and alumina] and catalyst dosage were determined experimentally. Catalyst characterization analyses were done in order to determine the maximum number of times that the catalyst can be used and it was found to be 3 times. Gas washing bottle experiments are conducted to find the v amount of ozone required to oxidize one mole of each dye used in the study. Oxidation of BB-41, BR-18.1 and BY-28 dyes were investigated in a semi-batch reactor as single dye solutions by sole and catalytic ozonation with alumina and PFOA catalyst particles. The highest TOC and COD removals being 58.3% and 62.9%, respectively, were obtained at pH of 10 for BB-41 and 55.2% and 58.8%, respectively, for BR-18.1 with alumina catalyst. On the other hand, for BY-28 PFOA catalyst yielded highest TOC and COD reductions being 61.3% and 66.9%, respectively, at pH of 4. Minimum fluidization velocity (uL,min), the hold-up values of gas, liquid and solid phases, the dispersion coefficients (DL), and volumetric ozone-water mass transfer coefficients (kLa) were estimated at various gas and liquid flow rates in order to observe the effect of liquid mixing in the reactor on ozonation process. While PFOA catalyst was found to be effective in oxidizing BY-28 in acidic conditions (pH=4), BR-18.1 and BB-41 are degraded in alkaline medium (pH=10) with alumina catalyst better compared to acidic conditions. For catalytic ozonation reactions in fluidized bed reactor, the highest dye removals in mixed dye solution were observed for BY- 28 being 99.29% for gas flow rate (QG) of 340 L/h, liquid flow rate (QL) of 150 L/h and pH=4, initial dye concentration being 30 mg/L of each dye with PFOA catalyst, while for BR-18.1 and BB-41 being 95.39% and 97.95% respectively for QG = 340 L/h, QL = 150 L/h and pH=10, initial dye concentration being 30 mg/L of each dye with alumina catalyst. The highest TOC and COD reductions, 25.2% and 32.4%, respectively, were achieved in the catalytic ozonation of the mixed dye using PFOA as the catalyst at a pH of 4 and at a gas to liquid flow rate ratio of 2.26 (QG = 340 L/h, QL = 150 L/h). Highest dye removals were obtained at the same gas and liquid flow rates as those of the highest TOC and COD reductions in the experiments. Empirical TOC removal equations were obtained as a function of inlet TOC concentration, solution pH, gas and liquid flow rates.

Dehydration of alcohol solutions obtained from a solvent recovery process by pervaporation
Büküşoğlu, Emre; Yılmaz, Levent; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
Solvent recovery is gaining importance in the chemical production processes to reduce the costs and because of environmental concerns. Therefore separation schemes for recovery and recycle of solvents used in printing and packaging industry were developed. However, a low value by-product, mainly ethyl alcohol and isopropanol, is obtained during the solvent recovery process. If the water concentration of this mixture is decreased below 0.1% by weight, the value of it increases significantly. To dehydrate thi...
Catalytic ozonation of industial textile wastewaters in a three phase fluidized bed reactor
Polat, Didem; Özbelge, Ayşe Tülay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
Textile wastewaters are highly colored and non-biodegradable having variable compositions of colored dyes, surfactants and toxic chemicals. Recently, ozonation is considered as an effective method that can be used in the treatment of industrial wastewaters; catalytic ozonation being one of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), is applied in order to reduce the ozone consumption and to increase the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) removals. In this study, catalytic ozonation of ...
Synthesis of some metalophthalocyanines and their effects on the performance of pem fuel cells
Erkan, Serdar; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
Importance of clean, sustainable and renewable energy sources are increasing gradually because of either being environmental friendly or being alternative for fossil fuels. Hydrogen energy system will let the utilization of alternative energy sources. Fuel cells are the most suitable energy conversion devices while passing through the hydrogen economy. The cost of the fuel cell systems need to be reduced in order to achieve commercialization of these systems. One of the most important cost items is platinum...
Dynamic resistivity behavior of thin oxide based multilayer thin films under reducing conditions
Kurbanoğlu, Başak; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006)
Effects of urban air pollution on health and environment have lead researchers to find economic air quality monitoring regulations. Since tin dioxide (SnO2) was demonstrated as a gas sensing device in 1962, tin oxide based thin film sensors have been widely studied due to their high sensitivity and fast response. The main advantages of using tin oxide sensors are their low cost, small size and low power consumption for mobile system applications. But, in order SnO2 based sensors to meet low concentration of...
Syngas cleaning for coal to methanol demo plant - H2S and COS removal
Argonul, Aykut; Er, Omer Orcun; Kayahan, Ufuk; Unlu, Alper; Ziypak, Mustafa (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-31)
Syngas cleaning, especially the removal of COS and H2S, is a crucial step in the production of valuable chemicals from coal. As a part of the Tuncbilek Coal to Methanol project, a gas cleaning demo plant has been built. The aim of this paper is to disseminate the experience gained from these demo plant experiments concerning the performance of the gasifier and syngas cleaning demo-plant, especially about the removal of sulfur compounds. Additionally, some practical recommendations regarding the design and o...
