Production of soda ash from Trona solution was achieved in a spray dryer reactor. Fractional conversion of NaHCO3 reached to values close to unity in this unit within a residence time of less than a second. Results indicated that above 140 degrees C, heat transfer limitations played a significant role on the calcination process taking place in the spray dryer. Equilibrium limitations may become important only at very low temperatures and at high CO2 and H2O partial pressures. Results obtained in the spray dryer and from the thermal gravimetric analysis of Trona crystals agreed well. It was also shown that the predictions of the unreacted core model are in good agreement with the kinetic data.

Solution processed aluminum-doped ZnO thin films for transparent heater applications Tonbul, Beyza; Can, Hilal; Öztürk, Tayfur; Akyıldız, Hasan (2021-06-01) A study was carried out to tailor the properties of ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposited Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films suitable for transparent heater applications. For this purpose, the influences of solvent/precursor type and molarity, Al-doping concentration, nozzle to substrate distance, solution flow rate, carrier gas flow, substrate temperature, and post-deposition annealing on the microstructure, electrical, optical properties, and heating/ deicing behaviors of the films were investigated. The optimi...
Comparative study on deposition of fluorine-doped tin dioxide thin films by conventional and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis methods for dye-sensitized solar modules Icli, Kerem Cagatay; Kocaoglu, Bahadir Can; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2018-01-01) Fluorine-doped tin dioxide (FTO) thin films were produced via conventional spray pyrolysis and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) methods using alcohol-based solutions. The prepared films were compared in terms of crystal structure, morphology, surface roughness, visible light transmittance, and electronic properties. Upon investigation of the grain structures and morphologies, the films prepared using ultrasonic spray method provided relatively larger grains and due to this condition, carrier mobilities of t...
Heterpolyacid catalysts for etherification of isoolefins Obalı, Zeynep; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003) Due to the water pollution problems created by MTBE, significant research was focused on the production of alternative oxygenates, such as ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), tert-amyl-methyl-ether (TAME) and tert-amyl-ethyl-ether (TAEE) as octane enhancing gasoline blending components. These oxygenates are expected to improve the burning characteristics of gasoline and reduce exhaust emissions of CO and hydrocarbons. Generally, macroreticular acidic resin catalysts (Amberlyst-15) are used for the etherification...
Sorption of cadmium and lead on activated carbons produced from resins and agricultural wastes Akgün, Aydın Mert; Yücel, Hayrettin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) In this work, adsorption of cadmium and lead from waste solutions by activated carbon was investigated. The activated carbons were produced from ion exchange resins and agricultural wastes in previous thesis studies under different conditions. BET surface areas of the activated carbons were given in previous studies. They were further characterized in this study. Slurry pH was measured by change in pH of water in which activated carbon was added. Methylene blue numbers were determined by adsorption of methy...
Nickel sorption by acclimatized activated sludge culture Arican, B; Yetiş, Ülkü (Elsevier BV, 2003-08-01) The sorption of Ni2+ by acclimatized activated sludge treating Ni2+ bearing wastewater was investigated using a once-through completely mixed tank reactor. The culture developed from sewage was acclimatized to 85.2 mumole/L Ni2+ influent concentration by stepwise increases, at a low dilution rate 0.11/h. Acclimation was found to enhance the sorptive capacity of the activated sludge. In fact, at all of the intermediate concentrations, percentage Ni2+ adsorbed by the biomass and also the sorptive capacity of ...
