A sol-gel process for producing microspheres of low density alumina has been developed. A Dispal alumina sol and aluminum monohydrate were used as starting materials. Microspheres with spherical shape and controllable size have been produced by using a drop generation technique, The technique consists of producing a continuous stream Of uniform droplets of alumina sol and then converting the drops into a rigid form by exposing them to an ammonium hydroxide gelation medium. By using this technique. alumina spheres with surface area 351 m(2)g(-1) and pore size 10.7 Adegrees have been prepared.

Fabrication of high density alumina ceramics from nanopowders through colloidal processing. Kayacı, Hüseyin Utkucan; Çınar, Simge; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020) Utilizing nanopowders in production of fully dense materials with fine grain structures is highly advantageous, particularly where high mechanical properties are desired. Besides, recently developed techniques, such as 3D-printing of ceramics, may require high solids content suspensions. Despite the advantages of slurry based processing of oxide ceramics, production of nano-structured high density bodies is still a challenge. The main limitation in colloidal processing of nanopowders is their unexpectedly h...
Investigation of the effects of initial substrate and biomass concentrations and light intensity on photofermentative hydrogen gas production Akman, Melih Can; Erguder, Tuba Hande; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eroglu, Inci (2014-01-01) Biohydrogen, which can be produced by dark fermentation and photofermentation processes, is a renewable and clean approach for hydrogen production. In this study, it was aimed to determine the operational conditions which satisfy the highest photofermentative hydrogen production rate in batch reactors. To that purpose, the effects of initial substrate concentration, initial volatile suspended solids (VSS) concentration and light intensity on photofermentation process were investigated by using Response Surf...
The characterisation of die friction as a means to reduce component machining and attain near-net shape form Özkan, Necati; AYDIN, I. (1998-01-01) The cylindrical alumina compacts, produced by the uniaxial die pressing technique, posses a certain density distribution due to the creation of uneven stress distributions within the samples, which are controlled, in a major part, by the wall boundary (friction) conditions between the compact and the die wall. Die wall lubrication reduces the wall friction and hence the density variations within the compact. The extent of the shape deviations in the sintered compacts is directly proportional to the extent o...
Investigation of the effects of initial substrate and biomass concentrations and light intensity on photofermentative hydrogen gas production by Response Surface Methodology Akman, Melih Can; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Gündüz, Ufuk; EROĞLU, İNCİ (2015-04-27) Biohydrogen, which can be produced by dark fermentation and photofermentation processes, is a renewable and clean approach for hydrogen production. In this study, it was aimed to determine the operational conditions which satisfy the highest photofermentative hydrogen production rate in batch reactors. To that purpose, the effects of initial substrate concentration, initial volatile suspended solids (VSS) concentration and light intensity on photofermentation process, and their interactive effects were inve...
Characterization of die pressed green compacts Özkan, Necati (1997-01-01) Die-pressed agglomerated alumina compacts, prepared as cylinders using single-ended nominally uniaxial compressive stresses, have been characterized by measuring their strength and density distributions. The strength of the alumina compacts, measured using the Brazilian configuration, increases up to an optimum compaction pressure, upon further increasing the compaction pressure, the strength of the green compacts decreases due to the formation of internal cracks. The density distributions in the alumina co...
