This study was carried out to determine effects of composted hazelnut husk (CHH) on some chemical properties of soil and soil humic acid (HA). Compost application increases organic matter (OM) content of the soil considerably, OM value of 3.18% became 3.89% in 3 years time interval. Before application of compost, the soil pH was found to be 5.37, while after compost application it became 5.61. FTIR characteristics of humic acid/humic acid-like materials extracted from the original hazelnut husk, composted hazelnut husk and composted hazelnut husk amended soil have been investigated. C and O content of humic acid-like/humic acid materials were in the range of 41.4-50.8% and 37.8-50.5%, respectively. The N content of the humic acid/humic acid-like materials are in the expected range for humic materials which is 2-6%. Comparison of FTIR spectra of hazelnut husk and composted hazelnut husk humic acid-like fractions shows that both exhibit similar but not identical series of IR bands indicating the presence of the same functional groups in both samples. The only difference in the spectra seemed to be a decrement in the peak intensities of composted sample compared to uncomposted one. The similar differentiation of the intensities of IR bands of compost applied soil sample has also been observed. The FTIR spectral results show that the characteristics of composted material tend to become similar to that of soil humic acids characteristics in time.

ANALYSIS OF DIFFUSION AND SORPTION OF CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS IN SOIL BY SINGLE-PELLET MOMENT TECHNIQUE CABBAR, C; DOGU, G; Doğu, Timur; MCCOY, BJ; SMITH, JM (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1994-07-01) The single-pellet moment technique was shown to be a powerful method for investigating the diffusion and adsorption of volatile hydrocarbons in the soil. The technique was used to evaluate effective diffusivities, adsorption equilibrium, and rate constants of chlorinated hydrocarbons (monochloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and 1,1,2-trichloroethane). Results obtained in a dry system showed that adsorption rate constants of all these hydrocarbons on the soil pellet used are of the same ...
Removal of Crystal Violet and Eriochrome Black T Dyes from Aqueous Solutions by Magnetic Nanoparticles Biosynthesized from Leaf Extract of Fraxinus Chinensis Roxb Ali, Imran; Peng, Changsheng; Khan, Zahid M.; Sultan, Muhammad; Naz, Iffat; Ali, Mohsin; Farid, Hafiz U.; Mahmood, Muhammad H.; Ahsen, Rameez (HARD Publishing Company, 2019-01-01) In the present research, a "green" recipe was used to produce innovative phytogenic magnetic nanoparticles (PMNPs) from leaf extract of Fraxinus chinensis Roxb without employing any additional toxic surfactants as capping agents. The convenient reaction between metal salt solution and plant biomolecules occurred within a few minutes by color changes from pale green to intense black, hinting at the production of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The formation of PMNPs was verified by employing different techniq...
Determination of lead, cadmium and copper in roadside soil and plants in Elazig, Turkey Bakirdere, Sezgin; Yaman, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01) The concentrations of lead, cadmium and copper in roadside soil and plants in Elazig, Turkey were investigated. Soil samples were collected at distances of 0, 25 and 50 m from the roadside. The concentrations of lead, cadmium and copper were measured by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (FAAS). A slotted tube atom trap ( STAT) was used to increase the sensitivity of lead and cadmium in FAAS. Lead concentrations in soil samples varied from 1.3 to 45 mg kg(-1) while mean lead levels in plants ranged f...
Assessment of diffusive and convective mechanisms during carbon dioxide sequestration into deep saline aquifers Özgür, Emre; Gümrah, Fevzi; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2006) The analytical and numerical modeling of CO2 sequestration in deep saline aquifers having different properties was studied with diffusion and convection mechanisms. The complete dissolution of CO2 in the aquifer by diffusion took thousands, even millions of years. In diffusion dominated system, an aquifer with 100 m thickness saturated with CO2 after 10,000,000 years. It was much earlier in convective dominant system. In diffusion process, the dissolution of CO2 in aquifer increased with porosity increase; ...
Investigation of the relationship between aerosol and rainwater composition Türküm, Ahmet; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2004) Chemical composition of particles and rain water at three sites in Turkey were extensively compared to determine if there is a relationship between aerosol and rain composition. If such relationship exists, it can allow one to construct rain water composition using aerosol data. This is important because, rain composition data is scarce as sampling and analysis of very low concentrations of elements and ions in rain water is more difficult compared to sampling and analysis of atmospheric aerosol. Results sh...
