Moment technique has been extensively used for the evaluation of the rate and equilibrium parameters in chemical reactors and also in adsorption vessels, for about five decades. Adsorption and reaction rate parameters, as well as axial dispersion constants, effective diffusivities within porous catalysts and heat and mass transfer coefficients were shown to be effectively evaluated by analyzing the moments of the response peaks, which could be obtained from pulse-response experiments performed in a reaction/adsorption vessel. A detailed review of chromatographic processes, involving moment analysis of adsorption equilibrium and rate constants in fixed beds, dynamic analysis of batch adsorbers, moment analysis of fluidized bed, slurry and trickle bed reactors are reported in this manuscript. Applications of the single-pellet moment technique, which was developed for the effective investigation of intrapellet rate and equilibrium processes, by eliminating the contributions of axial dispersion and external transport parameters, are comprehensively discussed. Recent studies for the analysis of reaction rate parameters using the TAP reactor approach, use of single pellet system for the investigation of catalytic and non-catalytic solid-gas reactions and extension of the moment technique to non-linear systems opened new pathways in reaction engineering research.

Diffusion Resistances and Contribution of Surface Diffusion in TAME and TAEE Production Using Amberlyst-15
Doğu, Timur; Boz, Nezahat; MÜRTEZAOĞLU, KIRALİ; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN (2003-01-01)
Effective diffusivities and adsorption equilibrium constants of methanol, ethanol and 2-methyl-2-butene (2M2B), in Amberlyst 15, were evaluated from batch adsorption experiments. Moment expressions derived for different models involving diffusion resistances in the macropores and within the gel-like micrograins were used for the evaluation of effective diffusion coefficients. Contribution of surface diffusion to diffusion flux within the macropores was found to be quite significant. Also, it was found that ...
Mathematical modeling of supercritical fluid extraction of biomaterials
Çetin, Halil İbrahim; Yener, Meryem Esra; Department of Food Engineering (2007)
Supercritical fluid extraction has been used to recover biomaterials from natural matrices. Mathematical modeling of the extraction is required for process design and scale up. Existing models in literature are correlative and dependent upon the experimental data. Construction of predictive models giving reliable results in the lack of experimental data is precious. The long term objective of this study was to construct a predictive mass transfer model, representing supercritical fluid extraction of biomate...
A moment technique for adsorption rate on metal surfaces of supported catalysts CO adsorption on Pt-Al2O3 washcoated monolith
Dogu, G; Ozkan, G; Doğu, Timur (2001-12-15)
A moment technique was developed for the investigation of adsorption on metal surfaces of supported catalysts. The technique was applied to the evaluation of adsorption rate parameters of CO on a Pt-Al2O3 washcoated monolith. The adsorption rate constants evaluated in the temperature range 273-316 K showed significant decrease with an increase in surface coverage. Results of pulse response experiments corresponding to zero coverage gave the apparent activation energy for adsorption as 21 kJ/mol. This method...
Investigation of extraction methodologies for quantitative determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments
Topal, Tansel; Tuncel, Semra G.; Department of Chemistry (2011)
The extraction procedures for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) concentrations in sediment samples had been developed by using GC-FID and GC-MS. The optimized methods were soxhlet extraction, ultrasonic bath extraction and solid phase micro extraction (SPME). In order to search out the main factors affecting extraction efficiencies of the methods, factorial design was used. The best extraction method was chosen and optimum values for main factors were selected for the development o...
Novel supramolecular ion sensing systems and their application in molecular logic gates
Coşkun, Ali; Akkaya, Engin Umut; Department of Chemistry (2003)
Recognition and sensing of ions is an important front in supramolecular organic chemistry. One remarkable extension of this kind of work is the application of selective switching processes to logic gate operations. In this study, we have designed selective metal ion chelators for zinc and cadmium ions based on dansylamide fluorophores and dipicolylamine chelators. The zinc complex of a previously reported difluoroboradiazaindacene-bipyridyl derivative was shown to respond anions by an increase in emission i...
