The production of L(+)-lactic acid using alginate immobilized Rhizopus oryzae in tapered-column fluidized-bed batch reactor was tested and simulated using the kinetic data taken independently in shake-flask cultures. The data show saturation kinetics with substrate and product inhibitions in linear form. Analysis of the kinetic data gave kinetic constants: V-m, 11.04 g lactic acid/(L-bead. h); K-m, 20.9 g glucose/L; and K-i, 365 g glucose/L for lactic acid production. The product inhibition constant, K-p, was found to be 316 g lactic acid/L. The simulation results showed a good agreement with the experimental results when the initial lag phase was taken into account in the simulation model. Without the adjustment for the initial lag period, the kinetic model showed higher conversion. Starting with a glucose concentration of 150 g/L, it was possible to produce 73 g/L of L(+)-lactic acid in 44.5 h. The lactic acid yield was 64.8% by weight based on the amount of glucose consumed.

Activity Comparison of Different Solid Acid Catalysts in Etherification of Glycerol with tert-Butyl Alcohol in Flow and Batch Reactors
Ozbay, Nalan; OKTAR, NURAY; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN; Doğu, Timur (2013-12-01)
In the presented work, etherification of glycerol with TBA was investigated in a continuous flow and also in a batch reactor using nine different commercial solid acid catalysts, namely Amberlyst-15, Amberlyst-36, Amberlyst-35, Amberlyst-16, Relite EXC8D, Lewatit K2629, H-Beta, H-Mordenite and Nafion SAC-13. Results proved the advantages of flow reactor to achieve quite high glycerol conversion values in very short residence times, due to efficient contact of reactants with the solid catalyst, which was cau...
Production of lactic acid esters by reactive distillation
Yalçın, Özgen; Karakaş, Gürkan; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011)
The esterification of lactic acid with ethanol over Lewatit S 100, strong cation ion exchange resin catalyst, was studied in counter current vapor-liquid contactor type differential reactor by feeding ethanol and lactic acid solution as vapor and liquid phases, respectively. The ethanol vapor phase was diluted by dry air and the water removal was achieved by the mass transfer of water from liquid to vapor phase. Effect of ethanol to lactic acid feed molar ratio and vapor flow rate on fractional conversion a...

A study was carried out on the synthesis of FeTi intermetallics from mixed oxide precursors using the method of electro-deoxidation. Fe2O3 and TiO2 mixed in molar proportions of 1:2 were sintered at temperatures ranging from 900 degrees C to 1300 degrees C. The sintered pellet of mixed oxides, connected as cathode, was then electrolyzed in a molten CaCl2 at 900 degrees C using a graphite anode at a potential of 3.2 V. The electrolysis yielded the target composition FeTi in substantial amounts only when the ...
Synthesis of Photocatalytic Titanium Dioxide Nanopowders Using Different Acid Catalysers
Öztürk, Abdullah (2018-12-01)
Photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized via acid assisted sol-gel process. The effects of different acids namely; acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid on the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles and their photocatalytic properties were investigated. XRD, SEM, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer analyses were performed to examine the physical and chemical characteristics of the nano powders. The results showed that only anatase phase of TiO2nanoparticleswith different crystallite...
Synthesis of lithium borides by mechanochemical process
Önder, Onur; Önder, Onur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2009)
The aim of this study was to investigate synthesis of lithium borides by mechanochemical synthesis from oxides. Lithium borides have promising properties in the area of high energy additives and hydrogen storage. Lithium oxide (Li2O), boron oxide (B2O3) and Mg were used to synthesize lithium borides. Experiments were conducted in a planetary ball mill under argon atmosphere. Analyses of the products were done by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Trilithium tetradecaboride (Li3B14) peaks we...
