Process parameters during the conversion of lignocellulosic agricultural wastes including corn cobs and cotton stalk into glucose and biodegradable polymeric materials were investigated. The investigated parameters were pretreatment type, pretreatment temperature, lignocellulosic biomass particle size prior to pretreatment, hemicellulose extraction temperature, salt type, salt concentration and polymer processing technique. Pretreatments applied to corn cobs including dilute acid, alkaline and ionic liquid pretreatments gave similar glucose yields (73 – 84%) upon enzymatic hydrolysis where the lowest and highest glucose yields were obtained for dilute acid and ionic liquid pretreatments, respectively. The ionic liquid pretreatment efficiency was shown to depend on the lignocellulosic biomass particle. 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride functioned more efficiently at smaller biomass particle sizes (<0.15 mm and 0.15 – 0.5 mm) compared to larger ones (0.5 – 1.0 mm and 1.0 – 2.0 mm), while opposite was true for the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate in terms of glucose production. During the co-production of glucose and hemicellulose based films, the hemicellulosic part of the process, which is related to the film production, was shown to be much more sensitive to the changes in the alkaline pretreatment temperature compared to the cellulosic part of the process that considers glucose production. It was also shown that the salt potassium acetate, which can be found together with hemicelluloses, was beneficial for the films. Finally extrusion was used as a new processing technique for the hemicellulose based polymers where the produced materials showed an ultimate tensile strength of 76 MPa and an elongation at break of 35%.

Effect of surface modification of rice straw on mechanical and flow properties of TPU-based green composites
Tayfun, Umit; DOĞAN, Mehmet; Bayramlı, Erdal (2016-05-01)
In this study, rice straw (RS) which was one of the major agricultural residues was used as filler in bio-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Several treatments including hot water, alkali, permanganate, peroxide and silane were applied for modifying the surface of RS. The effects of surface modifications on mechanical, flow, morphological, and water absorption properties of green composites were investigated at a constant 30 wt% RS loading. Silane treatment performed after alkaline treatment gave the h...
Effects of spray drying temperature and additives on the stability of serine alkaline protease powders
Namaldi, Aysegul; Çalık, Pınar; Uludağ, Yusuf (2006-01-01)
In this study, after production by recombinant Bacillus subtilis (BGSC-1A751), carrying pHV1431:: subc gene in the complex medium and separation of solids from the fermentation broth, serine alkaline protease (SAP) was dried in order to investigate the stabilization during spray drying and subsequent storage. The effect of air inlet temperature of the spray dryer between T = 70 and 130 degrees C and the effect of protective additives, glucose and maltodextrin, at 0-2% (w/v) on SAP activity during spray dryi...
Effect of Polymers on the Rheological Properties of KCl Polymer Type Drilling Fluid
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2005-05-01)
In the course of this research, the effect of two polymers (xanthan gum and polyanionic cellulose) on the rheological properties of KCl/polymer type drilling fluids was investigated. Non-Newtonian drilling fluids are conventionally characterized by rheological models (Bingham Plastic, Power Law, Casson, Herchel-Bulkley and Robertson-Stiff). In this research, forty-five KCl/polymer data sets of varying compositions are prepared. Polymer addition to the system has affected the model and caused a variation of ...
EFFECT OF PRETREATMENTS ON THE SEMICONTINUOUS ANAEROBIC-DIGESTION OF SUNFLOWER HEADS
POLAT, H; Selçuk, Nevin; SOYUPAK, S (1992-10-01)
The effects of hydraulic retention time and alkali treatment on methane production rate from the semicontinuous anaerobic digestion of 2 % sunflower-head/water mixtures were investigated. The experiments were carried out in laboratory-scale fermenters, fed with 1 liter of untreated, 2 g NaOH/100 g total solids (TS), and 5 g NaOH/100 g TS alkali-treated sunflower-head/water mixtures, respectively, and maintained at 55-degrees-C Digestion experiments were performed for hydraulic retention times of 8, 10, and ...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on seed germination, microbial quality, anatomy-morphology and physiological characteristics of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) seedlings
İŞLEK, Cemil; Altuner, Ergin Murat; Ceter, Talip; Alpas, Hami (Informa UK Limited, 2013-06-01)
High hydrostatic pressure is a non-thermal food processing technology that is found to increase the percentage of germination, decrease the germination time and improve the microbial quality of seeds. In this study, pressures of 100-400MPa for 10min at 30 degrees C are used to compare the percentage of germination, the microbial quality of seeds, chlorophyll a and b, and total phenolic compounds concentrations in seedlings, and the anatomy-morphology characteristics of garden cress. Enhanced reductions of t...
