Treatment of dye pollution containing C.I. Acid Red 14 (AR14) by a coupled photocatalytic process was studied. Titanium dioxide, in the form of anatase and rutile, and zinc oxide, were used as photocatalysts. The investigated photocatalysts were Aldrich-produced nanopowders with crystallites of a mean size 20-30 nm and a specific surface area of about 50 m(2)/g. A comparison of TiO2(anatase), TiO2(rutile), TiO2(a,r), and ZnO for the decolorization of the AR14 solution was performed. Results showed that color removal followed the decreasing order of TiO2(a,r), ZnO > TiO2(a,r) > TiO2(a), ZnO > TiO2(r), ZnO >TiO2(a,r) > TiO2(a) > ZnO > TiO2(r). Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to assess the individual and interactive effects of the 4 main independent parameters in the photocatalytic process. Analysis of variance showed a high coefficient of determination (R-2 = 0.9396) and satisfactory prediction second-order regression. The optimum initial amounts of TiO2(a), TiO2(r), ZnO. and dye and the reaction time were found to be 84 ppm, 23 ppm, 86 ppm, 20 ppm, and 48 min, respectively. It was demonstrated that RSM with suitable 2D and 3D graphs was a suitable method for finding the interactions between parameters, identifying the main parameters, and optimizing the operating conditions.

Experimental characterizations of the response of nematic liquid crystal droplets upon adsorption of nanoparticles from aqueous media
Şengül, Selin; Büküşoğlu, Emre; Aydoğan, Nihal; Department of Chemical Engineering (2021-9-08)
Nematic liquid crystal (LC) droplets have been widely used for the detection of molecular species. In this study, we investigated the response of micrometer sized nematic LC droplets against the adsorption of nanoparticles from aqueous media. In the first part of this study, we synthesized ~100 nm-in-diameter silica nanoparticles and modified their surfaces to mediate either planar or homeotropic LC anchoring and a pH-dependent charge. Secondly, we carried out the adsorption of nanoparticles to the LC-aqueo...
Dynamic analysis of sorption of Methylene Blue dye on granular and powdered activated carbon
YENER, JÜLİDE; KOPAÇ, TÜRKAN; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN; Doğu, Timur (2008-11-01)
Removal of dyes and pigments from wastewaters of dying and printing industries is a major environmental issue. Sorption rate and equilibrium parameters of Methylene Blue on granular and powdered activated carbons were investigated in a batch adsorber. Due to the significance of pore diffusion resistance and partial closure of pore mouths by dissociatively chemisorbed dyes, both sorption rate and sorption capacity values evaluated for granular Carbon were lower than the corresponding values for powdered acti...
Improving the dyeability of poly (lactic acid) fiber using octa (aminophenyl) POSS nanoparticle during melt spinning
Baykus, Onur; DOĞAN, Şengül Dilem; Tayfun, Umit; DAVULCU, Asım; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2017-01-01)
Disperse dye structure affects the dyeability of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) fiber due to the low dyeing temperature and the short dyeing time. Thus, the dye uptake value of PLA fiber is low for some disperse dyes and needs to be improved. In this study, the dyeability of PLA fiber is improved with the addition of synthesized octa (aminophenyl) polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OAP-POSS) nanoparticle during the melt spinning process. The effects of dyeing conditions including dyeing temperature and time, O...
Synthesis, characterization, and theoretical investigation of optical and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of triazene-based push–pull chromophores
Mammadova, Flora; Ozsinan, Semin; Okutan, Merve; Dengiz, Çağatay (Elsevier BV, 2020-11-15)
A short and efficient synthetic strategy for the synthesis of triazene-substituted push–pull dyes has been developed. The formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization was utilized for the preparation of the target push–pull dyes. These atom-economic, click-type chemical transformations occurred under ambient conditions and provided structurally interesting push–pull dyes in high yields. The effects of different triazene substituents on optical and non-linear optical properties were investigated by m...
Comparison of non-catalytic and catalytic ozonation processes of three different aqueous single dye solutions with respect to powder copper sulfide catalyst
Pirgalioglu, Saltuk; Ozbelge, Tuelay A. (2009-07-01)
Treatment of textile wastewaters containing dyes has not been very successful by conventional methods such as biological treatment. In order to overcome this problem, ozonation based on the oxidation of organic pollutants has been studied by researchers. Catalytic ozonation and advanced oxidation processes (ACPs) are used in order to increase the efficiency of sole ozonation further. In this work, catalytic ozonation in the presence of copper sulfide (CuS) powder as a catalyst was investigated in the treatm...
