This study explains the single-component and binary mixture adsorption studies on two different coals from the Zonguldak Basin (Northwestern Turkey). Assessment of energetic heterogeneity of coal surface and its effect on the equilibrium binary gas adsorption are discussed. Single component adsorption tests were performed using methane and carbon dioxide at 30 degreesC. Binary mixtures prepared with 10, 15 and 20% carbon dioxide were also tested at the same temperature. Various single-component adsorption isotherms were fitted to the experimental data of single gases. The data obtained from these models were interpreted to determine the energetic heterogeneity of the coals towards adsorption of methane and carbon dioxide. Ideal adsorbed solution (IAS) theory was used to predict the data and discrepancies between experimental data, and the model predictions were interpreted. Results showed that coals exhibit a heterogeneous behavior in gas adsorption. This heterogeneity can be different for each coal-gas pair and the extent of the heterogeneity makes the binary gas predictions differ from the experimental data. The deviations between IAS and experimental data increase as the amount of gas, to which the coal shows high heterogeneity, increases in the mixture.

Characterization and reactivity studies for chemical loop gasification of high sulfur lignites
Kanca, Arzu; Üner, Deniz; Department of Chemical Engineering (2013)
The objective of this study was to characterize and to determine the gasification reactivity of Tuncbilek lignites. The ultimate analysis of Tuncbilek lignite revealed that the elemental composition is 37.7% C, 3.6% H, 1.6% N, and 5.4% S, while the proximate analysis indicated 4.7 ± 0.9% moisture 27.9 ± 0.1% volatiles and 37.9 ± 0.2% ash. In this context, four different reactions during gasification namely, pyrolysis, oxidation, hydrogenation, and wet air oxidation were investigated separately. Carbon resid...
Determination of source apportionment of volatile organic compounds in Ankara
Sert, Ezgi; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Aslan Kılavuz, Seda; Department of Environmental Engineering (2017)
In this study, ambient concentrations of fifty-one volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured to determine their current level, emission sources and contributions in both urban and suburban atmosphere of Ankara. Two sampling stations were established in Ankara, one in Ankara University (AU), Faculty of Agriculture, other in Middle East Technical University (METU). AU stations is for representing the urban atmosphere while METU represents suburban atmosphere. In these stations with canister sampling, be...
Study of Sorption of Alcohols on High Silica ZSM-35
Babuçcuoğlu, Yurdaer; Yücel, Hayrettin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
This study investigated the equilibrium sorption capacities and rates of sorption of some alcohols on Na- and/or H- form of ZSM-35 at different temperatures by gravimetric method using an electrobalance. The alcohols studied were methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, n-butanol. The ZSM-35 sample used in sorption experiments resulted from a study for synthesis of high silica ZSM-35 zeolite. This ZSM-35 sample was called as NaZSM-35. The influence of ion-exchange on the sorption capacity and kinetics w...
Comparison of Source Regions Affecting SO42- and NO3- Concentrations at the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea Atmospheres
Dogan, G.; GÜLLÜ, GÜLEN; Karakas, D.; Tuncel, G. (Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2010-01-01)
In this study, source regions of atmospheric sulfate and nitrate in rural areas at the Black Sea and the Mediterranean coasts of Turkey are compared. Stations on the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea are located at Amasra and Antalya regions, respectively. Source regions of SO42- and NO3- are determined by using potential source contribution function (PSCF). Statistical significance of source regions assigned by PSCF were assured using bootstrapping with 3000 iterations. Source regions affecting sulfate and n...
Determination of esterase enzyme polymorphism in house fly (Musca domestica L.) populations in Turkey
TAŞKIN, VATAN; Taskin, Belgin Gocmen; KÜÇÜKAKYÜZ, KÖKSAL; Kence, Meral (2011-01-01)
The objective of this study was to determine esterase enzyme polymorphism in 16 natural Musca domestica L. populations from the Aegean and Mediterranean regions of Turkey by using the native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) technique. The high level of genetic variation among populations and species make esterase enzymes an important tool for analyzing genetic differentiation and evolutionary relationships in insects. In the present study, 22 a-esterase bands were detected by using a-naphthylacetat...
