Reported below are the results from a study aimed at mitigating the deleterious alkali-silica reaction by using perlite powder as an admixture. The expansion of mortar bars containing various amounts of silica fume (SF), expanded perlite, and natural perlite was studied. Two kinds of reactive aggregates were used in the study: highly reactive river aggregate containing opal and marginally reactive monzo-diorite aggregate. Expanded perlite and silica fume were tested with both aggregate, separately; on the other hand, natural perlite was tested only with monzo-diorite aggregate. The bars were cast in accordance with ASTM C1260, accelerated mortar bar method, and were stored in NaOH solution for 30 days. Length changes were measured and reported. The results showed that both expanded and natural perlite powder (NPP) have potential to suppress the deleterious alkali-silica expansion.

Synthesis of 4-Phenylselenyl-1h-pyrazoles by electrophilic cyclization Demirci, Deniz; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2011) In this study, the synthesis of 5-ferrocenyl/aryl-4-(phenylselenyl)-1H-pyrazole derivatives was investigated since the integration of ferrocenyl and selenium moieties into pyrazole derivatives may increase their current biological activities. Initially, the starting propargyl aldehydes were synthesized from corresponding acetylenes. Subsequently, propargyl aldehydes were reacted with hydrazines to yield corresponding hydrazones. Then the in situ synthesized hydrazones were subjected to electrophilic cycliza...
Removal of Ni(II) Ions From Aqueous Solutions Using Activated-Carbon Prepared From Olive Stone by ZnCl2 Activation UĞURLU, MEHMET; KULA, İBRAHİM; KARAOĞLU, MUHAMMET HAMDİ; Arslan, Yasin (Wiley, 2009-12-01) The aim of this study is to remove Ni (II) ions from aqueous solutions by adsorption. Activated-carbon prepared from olive stone (ACOS) was used as adsorbent. Different particle size and concentration of ZnCl2 were studied to optimize adsorbent surface area. Initial concentration, temperature, time, and pH were selected as parameters. According to the experiments results, the equilibrium time, optimum pH, and adsorbent dosage were found 60 min, pH > 6, and 1.0 g/50 mL, respectively. In addition, raw olive s...
Influence of alcohols on citric acid production by Aspergillus niger A-9 entrapped in polyacrylamide gels Yaykasli, KO; Demirel, G; Yasar, A (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-01) In this study, the production of citric acid has been achieved by using Aspergillus niger conidiaspores, entrapped in polyacrylamide gels, and the factors that affect this production have been investigated. On citric acid production the effect of starting sucrose concentration (100-180 g/l), the initial nitrogen concentration (0-0.3 g/l), the effect of the methanol concentration in 100ml feeding medium (0-6 ml), and finally the effect of ethanol concentration (0-6 ml) in 100 ml feeding medium were studied a...
Effect of Anaerobic Azo Dye Reduction on Continuous Sludge Digestion Ozkan-Yucel, Umay Gokce; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (Wiley, 2014-10-01) Effect of continuous feeding of a reactive azo dye, reactive orange 107, and its hydrolyzed form (HRO107), on a conventional anaerobic digester was investigated in this study together with observation of change in microbial community. Laboratory-scale digesters were fed with waste activated sludge and azo dye for 575 days continuously. The influent concentrations of reactive azo dye were between 200 and 3200 mg/L. The digester performance was not adversely affected by azo dye and its reduction metabolites t...
Usage of microwave and ultrasound in the extraction of essential oils and phenolic compounds İnce, Alev Emine; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2011) The objective of this study is to extract phenolic compounds from nettle and melissa by using microwave and ultrasound and to compare these methods with conventional extraction and maceration, respectively. Extraction of melissa essential oil was also studied. In extraction of phenolics, effects of extraction time (5-20 min for microwave; 5-30 min for ultrasound) and solid to solvent ratio (1:10, 1:20, 1:30 g/ml) on total phenolic content (TPC) were investigated for microwave and ultrasound extractions. Dif...
