In the past decades, natural zeolites have found a important role in adsorption applications due to their local availability and low cost preparation. In this study, surface of natural zeolite sample was modified by using cationic surfactants in order to investigate its adsorption capacity to remove pesticides from wastewater. Data obtained from adsorption studies on organo-zeolites were compared with data obtained from those on activated carbon. To determine the adsorption process and properties, the effects of various operating parameters, pH of the solution (3-11), initial concentration of pesticides (5-20mg center dot L-1), contact time (10-350min), and temperature (25-55 degrees C) were investigated in a batch adsorption technique. According to results, the adsorbed amount of fenitrothion on three different adsorbents decreased whereas those of trifluralin on the adsorbents increased with increasing temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to experimental equilibrium data of pesticide adsorption depending on temperature. The data obtained from adsorption isotherms for organo-zeolites and activated carbon were well fitted to the Freundlich model at all temperatures.

Control and simulation studies for a multicomponent batch packed distillation column Ceylan, Hatice; Özgen, Canan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) During the last decades, batch distillation is preferably used with an increasing demand over continuous one, to separate fine chemicals in chemical and petroleum industries, due to its advantages like, flexibility and high product purity. Consequently, packed distillation columns, with newly generated packing materials, are advantageous compared to plate columns because of their smaller holdups, resistivity to corrosive materials and their higher separation efficiencies. Also, in many industrial applicatio...
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...
Dehydration of alcohol solutions obtained from a solvent recovery process by pervaporation Büküşoğlu, Emre; Yılmaz, Levent; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010) Solvent recovery is gaining importance in the chemical production processes to reduce the costs and because of environmental concerns. Therefore separation schemes for recovery and recycle of solvents used in printing and packaging industry were developed. However, a low value by-product, mainly ethyl alcohol and isopropanol, is obtained during the solvent recovery process. If the water concentration of this mixture is decreased below 0.1% by weight, the value of it increases significantly. To dehydrate thi...
Study of adsorption characteristics of long chain alkyl amine and petroleum sulfonate on silicates by electrokinetic potential, microflotation, FTIR, and AFM analyses ÖZÜN, Savaş; Atalay, M. Umit; Demirci, Şahinde (Informa UK Limited, 2019-05-19) The long-chain alkyl amines and petroleum sulfonates are mostly used to remove unwanted minerals from feldspar ores in acidic pHs. In this study, their adsorption characteristics on pure albite and quartz were investigated by electrokinetic potential measurements, microflotation tests, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy studies. According to the results, amine had strong influence on zeta potentials of both albite and quartz turning them positive and resulting over 90% flot...
A dft study of ethylene adsorption and hydrogenation mechanisms on nickel Yılmazer, Nusret Duygu; Önal, Işık; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010) Ethylene adsorption was studied by use of DFT/B3LYP with basis set 6-31G(d,p) in Gaussian‘03 software. It was found that ethylene adsorbs molecularly on the Ni13 nanocluster with π adsorption mode. π adsorption mode is studied for the Ni10 (1 1 1), Ni13 (1 0 0) and Ni10 (1 1 0) surface cluster as well. Relative energy values were calculated as −50.86 kcal/mol, −20.48 kcal/mol, −32.44 kcal/mol and −39.27 kcal/mol for Ni13 nanocluster, Ni10 (1 1 1), Ni13 (1 0 0) and Ni10 (1 1 0) surface cluster models, respec...
