The combined effects of Ni(II) and Cr(VI) on activated sludge kinetics were studied in this paper. The metals were added to a synthetic medium with a chemical oxygen demand (GOD) of 1300 mgl(-1) to give various combinations of Ni(II) and Cr(VI). Activated sludge performance, in terms of COD removal, was not adversely affected in an acclimatized culture by the metal combinations, compared with the single metals. The combination effects of Ni!II) and Cr(VI)on biokinetic constants, i.e. the maximum specific growth rate, mu(m), was found to be stimulatory in general. The same effect was observed on the half-saturation substrate concentration, K-s. Effects were therefore classified as synergistic with respect to these constants.

Combined effects of Cu2+ and Zn2+ on activated sludge process Beyenal, NY; Ozbelge, TA; Özbelge, Hilmi Önder (1997-04-01) The aim of this study is to investigate the combined effects of Cu2+ and Zn2+ in a synthetic wastewater (WW) on activated sludge process (ASP) over a wide range of mean cell residence times. Experiments were performed in two phases: (i) experiments without heavy metals (HMs), (ii) experiments with HMs using acclimated microorganisms (MOs). In the first phase, biokinetic constants of the synthetic WW inoculated with seed MOs were determined and a linear relationship between substrate removal efficiency and m...
Production and characterization of activated carbon from horse chestnut kernel Demirok, Tuğba; Yücel, Hayrettin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2015) The production of activated carbon from horse chestnut kernel by chemical activation using phosphoric acid and characterization of produced activated carbons are presented in this work. To investigate effect of process parameters on porous structure of activated carbons, chemical activation was performed at the temperature of 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 ºC for impregnation ratios (weight of activation agent / weight g of sample) of 1:1 and 2:1. Chemical activation experiments were carried out in a quart...
Dynamic and steady-state analysis of oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane Karamullaoğlu, Gülsün; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) In this research, oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene was studied over Cr-O and Cr-V-O mixed oxide catalysts through steady-state and dynamic experiments. The catalysts were prepared by the complexation method. By XRD, presence of Cr2O3 phase in Cr-O; and the small Cr2O3 and V2O4 phases of Cr-V-O were revealed. In H2-TPR, both catalysts showed reduction behaviour. From XPS the likely presence of Cr+6 on fresh Cr-O was found. On Cr-V-O, the possible reduction of V+5 and Cr+6 forms of the fresh sa...
The effects of alkali promoters on the dynamics of hydrogen chemisorption and syngas reaction kinetics on Ru/SiO2 surfaces Üner, Deniz; Pruski, M; King, TS (1997-01-01) The dynamics of chemisorbed hydrogen on unpromoted and promoted Ru/SiO2 catalysts was studied by means of single pulse and selective excitation H-1 NMR spectroscopy. Dynamic NMR studies indicated a reduced mobility of hydrogen in the presence of alkali promoters (Na and K) at high loadings (65 atomic %). On unpromoted Ru/SiO2 catalysts, the line due to hydrogen-on-metal was homogeneously broadened at pressures above 0.5 Torr H-2. Similar behavior was observed on promoted Ru/SiO2 catalyst with 66 atomic % K....
Effect of EDTA on activated sludge properties Sanin, Faika Dilek (2001-02-01) Bacterial extracellular polymers have been found to be important in bioflocculation of activated sludge. In this study ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) method of extracting bacterial extracellular polymers is examined. Following extractions, it is observed that EDTA extracted significant amounts of biopolymers. However, the chemical treatment causes serious changes in sludge properties. Sludge particle size is reduced from 21 mum to 14.6 mum, filtration properties of sludge deteriorates, indicated ...
