Optimization and field application of a filter pack system for the simultaneous collection of atmospheric gas-phase HNO3, NH3 and SO2 have been studied. A Teflon prefilter was used to remove particulate matter. Nylon filter, oxalic-acid-treated Whatman 41 filter and sodium-carbonate-treated Whatman 41 filter were used for the collection of HNO3, NH3 and SO2, respectively. For the collection of gas-phase HNO3, nylon filters had better efficiency and capacity as compared to NaCl-impregnated Whatman 41 filters for long sampling periods of more than 30 h. All treated filters and nylon filters worked with the collection efficiencies of greater than 95%. About 2% of the gas-phase ammonia has been retained by the nylon filters during simultaneous collection experiments done in the laboratory but the retained ammonia on the nylon tilter sometimes reached to about 25% of the gaseous total ammonia collected on the oxalic-acid-impregnated filter in the field experiments. Other than ammonia no significant retention or volatilization from the filter pack system was observed during the simultaneous experiments carried out in an urban atmosphere.

Design of Microstrip Quadruplet Filters on Filpro Oruc, Sacid; Yıldırım, Nevzat (2018-11-02) In this paper, a simple dimensional design procedure is developed for microstrip/stripline quadruplet filters by starting with direct BP synthesis of a lumped quadruplet with inverter couplings, K14, K12, K23 and K34. K14 is the cross-coupling inverter which creates a symmetric pair of finite transmission zeros (FTZ's) if the sign of K14 is opposite of the other inverters while a complex TZ is created if K14 has the same sign as the other inverters leading to linear phase (flat delay) responses. The LC reso...
Steady-state parallel plate apparatus for measurement of diffusion coefficient in supercritical carbon dioxide Tuan, DQ; Yener, Meryem Esra; Zollweg, JA; Harriott, P; Rizvi, SSH (1999-02-01) A new, steady-state experimental system for measurement of the Fickian diffusion coefficients for solutes in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) was designed and evaluated. Mass transfer between a Liquid solute and SC-CO2 was carried out in a parallel plate geometry where a porous metal sheet, immersed in the liquid phase, stabilized the interface. The SC-CO2 flowed over the porous metal sheet containing the liquid phase which was presaturated with CO2. The use of the porous metal sheet and a thin mobile ...
Modeling and control studies for a reactive batch distillation column Bahar, Almıla; Özgen, Canan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) Modeling and inferential control studies are carried out on a reactive batch distillation system for the esterification reaction of ethanol with acetic acid to produce ethyl acetate. A dynamic model is developed based on a previous study done on a batch distillation column. The column is modified for a reactive system where Artificial Neural Network Estimator is used instead of Extended Kalman Filter for the estimation of compositions of polar compounds for control purposes. The results of the developed dyn...
Comparison of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) Models in Simulating Polygalacturonase Production UZUNER, SİBEL; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2016-11-01) The artificial neural network (ANN) method was used in comparison with the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to describe polygalacturonase (PG) production by Bacillus subtilis in submerged fermentation. ANN was evaluated with five neurons in the input layer, one hidden layer with 7 neurons, and one neuron in the output layer. Five fermentation variables (pH, temperature, time, yeast extract concentration, and K2HPO4 concentration) served as the input of the ANN and ANFIS models, and the polygala...
Investigation of water-waste rock interactions related environmental effects in Çeltikçi coal fied, Ankara - Turkey Kalkan, Ferhat; Çamur, Mehmet Zeki; Department of Geological Engineering (2021-6-24) The purpose of this research is to investigate the water-rock interactions related acid rock drainage potential, leachate chemistry and related processes under test conditions using potential waste rock samples (Bostantepe I, Lower Çavuşlar II and Upper Çavuşlar III) of Çeltikçi formation coal deposit and to predict the drainage leachate chemistry under atmospheric given pile conditions. Mineralogic, static (acid base accounting, net acid generation) test, short-term leach test and long-term kinetic test da...
