Chloridazon (CLZ), also named as Pyrazon and classified as organochlorine pesticides, is widely used during sugar beets cultivation. CLZ being a pesticide with high solubility in water is likely to end up in surface and groundwater bodies because of its high mobility in soil. Due to its toxic properties, it may cause serious problems in human health and ecological cycle. In the present study, the removal of CLZ pesticide by Fenton and photo-Fenton processes was investigated. The effects of parameters such as H2O2, Fe(II), initial CLZ concentration, pH, and temperature were studied. It was observed that CLZ completely disappeared within 1 h and 20 min by the Fenton and photo-Fenton process, respectively, under optimal conditions. The optimal conditions for each processes were attained as 7.5 mg/L Fe(II), 50 mg/L H2O2, 40 mg/L initial CLZ, pH, and 20 degrees C for Fenton process, and 5 mg/L Fe2+, 50 mg/L H2O2, 60 mg/L initial CLZ, pH 3 and 20 degrees C for photo-Fenton process. The reaction kinetics of CLZ followed Behnajady-Modirdhahla-Ghanbery kinetic model. Desphenyl CLZ, pyridazine-3,4,5-trione, oxaluric acid, and 5-hydroxyhydantion were identified as CLZ degradation by-products. Accordingly, the degradation pathway was proposed.

Production of thermophylic α-amylase from aspergillus sp. and its utilization for various applications
Gazaloğlu, Mehmet; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Biotechnology (2017)
The objective of this study was to scale up the production of thermophilic α-amylase and its use to obtain fermentable sugar as the main carbon source for microorganisms such as baker’s yeast and Lactobacillus casei. Aspergillus niger N402 was the strain used for determining the fermentation parameters (carbon and nitrogen source, fermentation volume/total flask volume ratio (FV/TFV), pH & temperature of the fermentation and spore inoculum level.) Different strains (Am13, AmC18, and AmC28) were also tested ...
Extraction of polylactic acid degradation products with supercritical carbon dioxide

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a bio-based polyester derived from starch feedstocks such as sugar cane, sugar beet, or corn. PLA is used in industries like the medical sector, fibers and textiles, packaging, and agriculture. Since the PLA usage area is increasing, its recyclability has gained importance. Currently, chemical recycling for PLA has been conducted by pyrolysis, alcoholysis, or hydrolysis. In this research, an environmentally benign separation method was developed to recover the PLA depolymerization p...
Microarray based expression profiling of barley under boron stress and cloning of 3H boron tolerance gene
Öz, Mehmet Tufan; Eyidoğan, Füsun; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
Both deficiency and toxicity of the essential micronutrient boron (B) lead to reduced crop yield in agriculture. However, our understanding of the molecular responses of plants under B stresses to tackle the yield loss is limited. Therefore, in the present study, transcriptional alterations in sensitive and tolerant barley cultivars under B deficiency and toxicity were investigated in order to reveal the molecular responses. Transcriptomes were monitored at seedling stage by global expression profiling usin...
Removal of endocrine disrupter compounds and trace organics in membrane bioreactors
Komesli, Okan Tarik; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi; Department of Environmental Engineering (2012)
Endocrine disrupters and trace organic contaminants are recently recognized contaminants in wastewaters. Current concept is the multibarier approach where the contaminants are removed from the water cycle both by water and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as natural die-away. In this thesis work LC/MS/MS determination of selected EDC compounds, namely, diltiazem, progesterone, estrone, carbamazepine, benzyl butyl phthalate and acetaminophen, at ultra trace levels, have been carried out by optimizing...
