There is lack of information about the relation between the candidate raw material fly ash and end product, Zeolite 4A.This study aims to fill the gap in the literature through controlled ash production experiments, characterization studies and Zeolite 4A synthesis. As a result of studies, the nucleation behaviour of the alkali fusion product obtained from fly ash was demonstrated and the most crystalline Zeolite 4A with cubic morphology were obtained from Seyitömer fly ash with alkali fusion product of Si/Al mol ratio 1,17 at the conditions, 47 °C, 12 hour aging and 90°C, 4 hour crystallization with the least sodalite impurity. It was observed that hematite and mullite content of fly ash caused differences in the alkali fusion product and Zeolite 4A. In addition, it has been observed that the hematite, mullite content and crystallinity of ash could be tuned by combustion parameters. From the Tunçbilek ash obtained from the drop tube furnace at 1000 °C, which is the poorest in mullite and hematite because of the conditions (high cooling rate and low combustion temperature), Zeolite 4A with 64,1 % crystallinity and cubic structure and minimum sodalite content was achieved under optimal synthesis conditions. Sodalite phase impurity content increased in parallel with hematite and mullite mineral content. In the synthesis product of Soma ash, katoite was obtained because of high level of calcium impurity. Finally, the ash from combustion experiments of the blend of sodium carbonate-coal-aluminum hydroxide, the synthesis of zeolite 4A was carried out under optimized conditions without the need for a fusion step and zeolite 4A was obtained with low crystallinity.

Critical analysis of zeolite 4A synthesis through one-pot fusion hydrothermal treatment approach for class F fly ash Akın, Süleyman Şener; Kirdeciler, Salih Kaan; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2021-10-01) In this study, ‘‘One-pot fusion assisted hydrothermal synthesis’’ approach was employed to understand the nucleation and crystallization behaviour of the fusion product of Class F fly ash for zeolite 4A synthesis. Two sets of experiments were conducted by tailoring the control parameter of H2O/Na2O molar ratio (L/S) to investigate the nucleation and crystallization behaviour of zeolite 4A. The molar ratios of SiO2/Al2O3 and Na2O/SiO2 were tuned before alkali fusion by adding different amounts of Al(OH)3 to ...
Investigation of ash deposition in a pilot-scale fluidized bed combustor co-firing biomass with lignite Gogebakan, Zuhal; Gogebakan, Yusuf; Selçuk, Nevin; Seliuk, Ekrem (2009-01-01) This study presents the results from investigation of ash deposition characteristics of a high ash and sulfur content lignite co-fired with three types of biomass (olive residue, 49 wt%; hazelnut shell, 42 wt%; and cotton residue, 41 wt%) in 0.3 MWt Middle East Technical University (METU) Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustion (ABFBC) Test Rig. Deposit samples were collected on all air-cooled probe at a temperature of 500 degrees C. Samples were analyzed by SEM/EDX and XRD methods. The results reveal...
Alkali reactivity of mortars containing chert and incorporating moderate-calcium fly ash Bektas, F; Turanli, L; Topal, Tamer; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2004-12-01) This paper reports the results of an experimental program, which aimed to investigate the alkali reactivity of chert and the effect of a moderate-calcium fly ash on the alkali-silica reaction. To determine the expansions, mortar bars were cast and tested in accordance with ASTM C1260. Mortar aggregate was replaced by chert, in controlled amounts, to find out the pessimum limit, if any. To evaluate the degree of cracking, sonic pulse velocity measurements and petrographic analysis were carried out on the cra...
Comparison of Fenitrothion and Trifluralin Adsorption on Organo-Zeolites and Activated Carbon. Part II: Thermodynamic Parameters and the Suitability of the Kinetic Models of Pesticide Adsorption LÜLE ŞENÖZ, Güzide Meltem; Atalay, Mustafa Ümit (Informa UK Limited, 2014-07-04) The suitability of two kinetic models and the thermodynamic parameters of pesticide adsorption were investigated based on obtained data of previous studies. Kinetic evaluation indicated that the pesticides adsorption on adsorbents followed the pseudo-second-order model. Gibbs free energy (Delta G degrees), enthalpy (Delta H degrees), and entropy (Delta S degrees) were calculated for thermodynamic parameters by using linearized Arrhenius equation. The results indicated that the sorption process of fenitrothi...
Investigation of tribological behaviours of graphene-coated journal bearing Yıldız, Bayram; OVALI, İSMAİL; ÜNLÜ, CUMHUR GÖKHAN (2018-01-01) In this study, we investigated macro- and nano-scale tribological behaviours of single-layer graphene on steel parts. Single layer graphene was synthesized via Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) on copper foil and then transferred onto commercial journal bearing that has a considerable rough surface. Nanotribological tests were carried out by using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) under loadings differs from 5 to 30 nN, and macrotribological experiments were done using pin on disc type tribometer at three differ...
