In this study, we show that codeposition of temperature responsive microgels in the foulant cake layer and cleaning of the cake upon stimuli-induced size change of the microgels is an effective method of fouling removal. Humic acid in CaCl2 solution was used as a model foulant and poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) (p(NIPAm)) and poly(n-isopropylacrylamide-cosulfobetainemethacrylate) (p(NIPAm-co-SBMA)) were used as temperature responsive microgels. Filtrations were done below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and temperature was increased to above the LCST for cleaning. As an extra cleaning a temperature swing of above, below and then again above the LCST was applied. P(NIPAm) was found to be ineffective in cleaning the foulant deposit despite the 20-fold change in its volume with temperature change at LCST. P(NIPAm-co-SBMA) microgels, on the other hand, provided high fouling reversibility on hydrophilic poly(ether sulfone)(PES)/poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and hydrophobic PES membranes. Better fouling reversibility with these microgels was observed at low and high solution ionic strength. While the use of microgels alone increased fouling reversibility to some extent, even in the absence of temperature stimulus, 100% reversibility could only be obtained when a temperature switch was applied in the presence of microgels, showing the effect of microgels' volume change in cleaning.

Influence of fat content and emulsifier type on the rheological properties of cake batter Sakiyan, O; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Bayram, Göknur (2004-11-01) The effects of fat content and emulsifier type on the rheological properties of cake batter have been investigated by using a parallel-plate rheometer. The apparent viscosity of cake batter with five different fat concentrations (0, 12.5, 25, 37.5, and 50%) and two types of emulsifier, namely Purawave and Lecigran, was studied as a function of the shear rate. In addition, the time dependency of different cake formulations was investigated. It was found that cake batter with different fat concentrations and ...
Effect of polydextrose-substitution on the cell structure of the high-ratio cake system Hicsasmaz, Z; Yazgan, Y; Bozoglu, F; Katnas, Z (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01) Effect of polydextrose-substitution on the cell structure of the high-ratio cake system was investigated in terms of the bubble size distribution and foam drainage time of the cake batter, and the cake height, true and bulk densities, porosity, cell size and shape distributions of the cake crumb. Sugar-replacement levels were 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the sugar content of the conventional high-ratio cake formulation.
Detoxification of Groundnut Cake Naturally Contaminated with Aflatoxin B-1 Using Rhodococcus erythropolis in Shake Flask Bioreactors Dogan, Onay Burak; ÖNAL ULUSOY, BARAN; Bozoglu, Faruk; Sagdicoglu-Celep, Adviye Gulcin; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01) Degradation of aflatoxin B-1 in groundnut cake, a residue after oil extraction, by Rhodococcus erythropolis was optimized using response surface methodology. The bacterium was first grown in synthetic medium to determine optimal growth conditions using the combination of the Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken methods and consequently aflatoxin B-1 in groundnut cake slurry was degraded under varying culture conditions. Optimal growth conditions were found as 22.5 A degrees C of temperature, pH 7, 100 mL of cult...
Anti-thixotropic properties of waxy maize starch dispersions with different pasting conditions Wang, Bao; Li, Dong; Wang, Li-Jun; Özkan, Necati (2010-03-17) The effects of pasting conditions, testing temperature, and shear rate on the anti-thixotropy of waxy maize starch (WMS) dispersions were investigated in this study. Activation energy and viscoelastic properties of the WMS dispersions were also determined to understand the anti-thixotropy of these dispersions. The WMS dispersions (5.0 wt.%) displayed both thixotropic and anti-thixotropic properties in loop and shear recovery tests, depending on pasting conditions and testing temperature. The standard anti-t...
Utilization of industrial wastes of Turkey as abrasive in surface preparation technologies Ataman, Nihat; Özbayoğlu, Gülhan; Department of Mining Engineering (2005) Surface preparation is the key factor in determining the success of a protective coating system and its ultimate objective is to create proper adhesion of a coating over an underlying substrate. Abrasive blast cleaning involves mechanical cleaning by the continuous impact of abrasive particles at high velocities on to the substrate in a jet stream of compressed air. Industries that use abrasive blasting include the shipbuilding industry, automotive industry, and other industries that involve surface prepara...
