The anaerobic treatability of malt whisky distillery wastewater was investigated. Biochemical methane potential (BMP) experiments were conducted both with and without basal medium (BM) to observe the effect of nutrient supplementation. For batch reactors containing no nutrients but only NaHCO3, net total gas production at the end of 29 days were observed as 0.019 m(3) gas/kg COD removed. With nutrient supplemented reactors the net total gas production was 0.020 m(3) gas/kg COD. Continuous reactor experiments were carried out in two stage upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors. These experiments indicated that the two stage UASB reactor configuration is an efficient system for malt whisky wastewater treatment until up to 33 866 mg/l influent COD concentration. Following the UASB experiments aerobic experiments in batch reactors were also conducted and further COD and BOD removal of up to 55 and 70%, respectively, were achieved.

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on quality parameters of lager beer Buzrul, S; Alpas, Hami; Bozoglu, F (Wiley, 2005-08-15) Unpasteurized lager beer samples from a commercial brewery were treated either by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP; 200, 250, 300, 3SOMPa for 3 and 5min at 20 degrees C) or by conventional heat pasteurization (60 degrees C for 15 min). The main attributes of the beer, such as ethanol content, extract and pH, were not affected by either treatment; however HHP and heat pasteurization affected colour, chill haze, protein sensitivity and bitterness. Change in bitterness was higher in conventional heat pasteurizat...
Optimization of dilute sulfuric acid, aqueous ammonia, and steam explosion as the pretreatments steps for distillers' dried grains with solubles as a potential fermentation feedstock Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01) Distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is the by-product of bioethanol production from starch-rich grains through dry-mill fermentation. In this study, dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis, aqueous ammonia, and steam explosion as the pre-treatment methods were optimized. The central composite response surface methodology (RSM) design was used for optimization of dilute acid pretreatment, aqueous ammonia pretreatment. The steam explosion trials were evaluated. The results show that the dilute acid pretreat...
Improving the Recovery of Phenolic Compounds from Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG) by Environmentally Friendly Extraction Techniques Okur, İlhami; Söyler, Ulviye Betül; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Alpas, Hami (MDPI AG, 2021-1-25) The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of different extraction techniques (high hydrostatic pressure-assisted extraction (HHPE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and classical solvent extraction (CSE)) on phenolic compounds from spent coffee grounds (SCG). Different HHPE parameters (300, 400 and 500 MPa at 25 °C for 5, 10 and 15 min) and UAE parameters (40%, 50%, and 60% amplitude at 25 °C for 5, 10 and 15 min) were used. These techniques were compared with CSE (at 50 °C for 3...
Treatment of waste pickling liquors: Process synthesis and economic analysis Ozdemir, T; Oztin, C; Kincal, NS (Informa UK Limited, 2006-05-01) An economic analysis was carried out for three different recycle/recovery options for waste pickling liquors from hydrochloric acid pickling baths in an existing small-mid scale plant presently neutralizing and discarding waste pickling liquors. The analysis was based on process synthesis and design, which were completed by using real plant data along with some experimental work. Three basic schemes were studied: the addition of metallic iron to convert unused hydrochloric acid to ferrous chloride recovery ...
Bacterial cellulase production using grape pomace hydrolysate and synthetic sugar as sole carbon sources by shake-flask submerged fermentation Kurt, Ayşe Sultan; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Department of Food Engineering (2019) Grape pomace is the major waste in the wine industry and it consists of high moisture content and residual sugars, which make it susceptible to rapid microbial spoilage. Thus, it needs to be disposed of with care to eliminate both environmental and health problems. The carbohydrate fraction of grape pomace is a fibrous material, and is an additional source of fermentable sugars to produce biofuel and hydrolytic enzymes. In this study, grape pomace hydrolysate was used for cellulase production with Bacillus ...
