In this study, the efficiency of the integrated process was investigated in which the pre-ozonation step was followed by activated sludge process (ASP) in treating the aqueous Acid Red-151 (AR 151) solutions. The percent dye removal in the integrated process was found to be 47% for a pre-ozonation time of 30 min, instead of 25% in the singly ASP without pre-ozonation. The treatment efficiency of this process could be higher if the pre-ozonation time of 120 min yielding maximum enhancement of biodegradability at a peak value of BOD5/COD ratio were used before the biological treatment process.

Removal of phenolic compounds from rubber-textile wastewaters by physico-chemical methods
Ozbelge, TA; Ozbelge, OH; Baskaya, SZ (Elsevier BV, 2002-09-01)
Removal of phenolic compounds from rubber-textile wastewaters (RTWWs) by physico-chemical process was investigated by using four different types of coagulants (Al-2(SO4)(3), Fe-2(SO4)(3), FeSO4, FeCl3) with or without lime (Ca(OH)(2)) addition, in jar-test experiments. The RTWWs of the present tire-cord fabric plant may contain seven different types of dipping solutions (DSs), which provide an adhesive property to the fabric. The optimum results were obtained by using 50% FeCl3 solution and lime at various ...
Preparation of zeolite A tubes from amorphous aluminosilicate extrudates
Oezcan, Aysenur; Kalıpçılar, Halil (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2006-07-05)
A method is presented for the hydrothermal synthesis of binderless zeolite A bars and tubes with high purity from amorphous aluminosilicate extrudates. The solid that was separated from a hydrogel was mixed with an aqueous solution of hydroxyethyl cellulose to obtain a paste, which was extruded into bars and tubes. After calcination, amorphous bars and tubes were converted to zeolite A in the liquid phase that was separated from the hydrogel. The zeolite bars and tubes were composed of cubic zeolite A cryst...
Alumina and Tungstophosphoric Acid Loaded Mesoporous Catalysts for the Polyethylene Degradation Reaction
Aydemir, Bugce; Sezgi, Naime Aslı (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2013-11-06)
Polyethylene degradation over alumina and tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) containing ordered mesoporous catalysts was studied in a semibatch reactor. In the noncatalytic degradation reaction, selectivity of C-3 and C-4 hydrocarbons was quite high. However, significant ethylene and C-4 hydrocarbon selectivity was observed in the catalytic degradation reaction depending on the type of catalyst used. Liquid product distribution in the noncatalytic degradation reaction indicated the presence of hydrocarbons, being...
Bioreactor operation parameters as tools for metabolic regulations in fermentation processes: influence of pH conditions
Çalık, Pınar; Calik, G; Ozdamar, TH (Elsevier BV, 2003-02-01)
The influence of controlled- and uncontrolled-pH conditions together with the initial pH on the product and by-product distributions and oxygen transfer characteristics, whereupon the process rate limitations in relation to the intracellular reaction rates were investigated in serine alkaline protease (SAP) fermentation process by recombinant Bacillus licheniformis carrying pHV1431::subC on a defined medium with the sole carbon source glucose in the pH range of 6.80-7.25 in batch bioreactors. Although the s...
Effects of pH, Initiator, Scavenger, and Surfactant on the Ozonation Mechanism of an Azo Dye (Acid Red-151) in a Batch Reactor
Oezbelge, Tuelay A.; Erol, Funda (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, an initiator (Fe2+) and a scavenger (CO32(-)) were used at different concentrations in a batch reactor to investigate the reaction mechanism of ozonation of a model azo dye, namely Acid Red-151 (AR-151). Also, the effect of a nonionic surfactant known as a major pollutant in many industrial wastewaters, namely polyethylene glycol (PEG), was observed on the degradation rate of AR-151. The experimental parameters and their ranges were: pH (2.5-10), initiator (0.8-50mg/L of Fe2+), surfactant (10...
