This study aims at determining the contribution of ultrasonication to conventional flotation. In this regard, enhancing the performance of flotation cleaning of an oil shale sample was attempted using ultrasonic pre-treatment. The use of the excitation effect through ultrasonication was investigated towards fine and ultra-fine ash making-inorganic particles that are clogged in pores/voids or are attached as coatings on surfaces of larger entities. Ultrasonic pre-treatment was applied prior to flotation at a range of ultrasonic power levels and for different durations of ultrasonication. This pre-treatment proved to be useful in improving the extent of ash rejection and producing a cleaner oil shale concenrate at remarkable combustible recoveries. Conventional flotation cleaning (without ultrasonic pretreatment) could reduce the ash content of the cleaned oil shale from 34.76% to 16.82. Ultrasonic-aided flotation resulted in further decrease in ash to 11.82 % at 82.66 % combustible recovery. Comparative XRD and SEM analyses showed that inorganic particles in the pores/voids or attached to the surfaces of larger particles were effectively removed after ultrasonic pre-treatment. This has significantly improved the liberation between organic and inorganic entities, leading to a more effective separation process through fllotation

Use of calcium-alginate as a coagulant for low turbidity waters Yüksel, Avni Mete; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2007) This study aims to investigate the possibility of using calcium-alginate as a coagulant in low turbidity waters. Jar tests were initially performed with synthetically prepared turbid waters to investigate the effect of alginate and calcium concentrations, alginate’s molecular weight, rapid mixing time and speed (schedule), initial pH and alkalinity of synthetic water on turbidity removal efficiency of calcium-alginate system step by step. Alum as a coagulant was then used in jar tests conducted with synthet...
Effect of High Hydrostatic Pressure (HHP) Treatment on Physicochemical Properties of Horse Mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) ERKAN ÖZDEN, Nuray; Uretener, Gonca; Alpas, Hami; Selcuk, Arif; Ozden, Ozkan; Buzrul, Sencer (2011-10-01) The basic objective of this study was to determine the effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP; 220, 250 and 330 MPa), holding time (5 and 10 min) and temperature (7, 15 and 25 A degrees C) on some quality parameters of horse mackerel such as colour changes, thiobarbituric acid (TBA-i) and trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N), free amino acid content. HHP increased L (*) values of horse mackerel. The a (*) and b (*) of treated horse mackerel did not change significantly after HHP applications. After, HHP, TBA-i...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure treatment on some quality properties, squeezing pressure effect and shlf life pf pomegranate (Punica granatum) juice against thermal treatment Gültekin, Necmiye Büşra; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2012) The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment (200, 300, 400 MPa; 5⁰C, 15⁰C, 25⁰C; 5 and 10 minutes) on some quality properties of two different squeezing pressure processed pomegranate juices against traditional thermal treatment at 85⁰C/10 min. Among these combinations, for 100 psi squeezed, 400 MPa 15⁰C 5 min and for 150 psi, 400 MPa 5⁰C 10 min were chosen the best. Antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, total monomeric anthocyanin concentration, ...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure processing and squeezing pressure on some quality properties of pomegranate juice against thermal treatment Subasi, B. G.; Alpas, Hami (2017-03-01) The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment (200, 300, 400MPa; 5 degrees C, 15 degrees C and 25 degrees C; 5 and 10 min) on some quality properties of pomegranate juice. Juice samples are obtained under industrial conditions at two different squeezing pressure levels (100 and 150psi - 0.689 and 1.033MPa, respectively). Results are compared against conventional thermal treatment (85 degrees C/10 min) and raw sample. For all three processing temperature, HH...
Modification of a Conventional Anaerobic Digester for Improving the Effluent and Sludge Characteristics Uludag-Demirer, S.; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi; Othman, M. (Wiley, 2009-12-01) The aim of this study was to enrich the composition of anaerobic digester sludge in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus by struvite (MgNH4PO4) formation. Waste activated sludge was anaerobically digested in batch reactors under the conditions that the minimum stoichiometric requirement for struvite formation was satisfied in all reactors. For this purpose, different amounts of magnesium (Mg2+) and phosphate (PO43-) ions were added initially to the batch reactors. The results showed the effects of adding Mg2+ a...
