Semi-batch experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of catalyst type, pH, initial dye concentration and production rate of ozone on the catalytic ozonation of the dyes, namely Acid Red-151 (AR-151) and Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR). The used catalysts were alumina, 25% (w/w) perfluorooctyl alumina (PFOA), 50% (w/w) PFOA and 100% (w/w) PFOA. The results showed that the overall percent dye removal after 30 min of the reaction was not affected significantly by the catalyst type. However, highest COD reduction was achieved by ozonation with alumina for AR-151, and 100% PFOA for RBBR at pH 13. The behavior of COD reduction with the increasing amount of perfluorooctanoic (PFO) acid amount can be explained by the enhancement of catalytic activity of PFOA with alkyl chains. For both of the dyes, the highest dye and COD removals were reached at pH 13. The overall dye reduction after 30 min of ozonation was almost independent of the initial dye concentration at relatively low values while at the higher concentrations, it changed with the initial dye concentration for both of the dyes. Similarly, COD reduction changed on a limited scale with the increasing initial dye concentration from 100 mg/L to 200 mg/L. however, an increase of initial dye concentration to 400 mg/L decreased the COD reduction significantly. All the studied production rates of ozone were sufficient to provide almost 100% dye removal in 30 min, whereas the COD removal percentage was increased gradually by the increasing ozone input to the reactor. The reaction kinetics for the ozonation of each dye with and without catalyst was investigated and discussed in the paper.

Catalytic ozonation of an industrial textile wastewater in a heterogeneous continuous reactor Polat, Didem; Balci, Irem; Ozbelge, Tulay A. (2015-09-01) Textile wastewaters (WWs) are highly colored and non-biodegradable having variable compositions of colored dyes, surfactants and toxic chemicals. Discharge of these WWs to the environment is very detrimental for ecosystems, therefore new methods have been investigated in order to meet the quality criteria of water and the discharge standards of the partly treated WWs. Recently, catalytic ozonation being one of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), is considered as an effective method that can be used in ...
Catalytic oxidation of nitrogen containing compounds for nitrogen determination Karakaş, Gürkan (2019-02-15) The high temperature catalytic oxidation (HTCO) performance of Al2O3 supported Pt, Cu, Cu-Ce and Fe catalysts were systematically studied with a perspective of selective oxidation of nitrogenous compounds to nitric oxide for quantitative determination of bound nitrogen. The catalyst samples were prepared via impregnation and characterized by XRD and BET. In addition, temperature programmed reaction experiments with acetonitrile and oxygen were conducted to evaluate the catalytic activity and selectivity tow...
Catalytic ozonation of industial textile wastewaters in a three phase fluidized bed reactor Polat, Didem; Özbelge, Ayşe Tülay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010) Textile wastewaters are highly colored and non-biodegradable having variable compositions of colored dyes, surfactants and toxic chemicals. Recently, ozonation is considered as an effective method that can be used in the treatment of industrial wastewaters; catalytic ozonation being one of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), is applied in order to reduce the ozone consumption and to increase the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) removals. In this study, catalytic ozonation of ...
Modeling of catalytic ozonation process in a three-phase reactor Erol, Funda; Oezbelge, Tuelay A.; Oezbelge, H. Oender (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) In this research, the main objective was to determine the flow characteristics of a three-phase reactor in order to use this knowledge in the modeling of catalytic ozonation of aqueous dye solutions. Therefore, the stimulus-response method was used in the tracer experiments; thus, the degree of liquid mixing in the reactor was estimated by means of residence time distribution, Peclet number and axial dispersion coefficient in the presence and the absence of the catalyst. Experimental data were obtained by p...
Photovoltaic performance of bifacial dye sensitized solar cell using chemically healed binary ionic liquid electrolyte solidified with SiO2 nanoparticles Cosar, Burak; Icli, Kerem Cagatay; Yavuz, Halil Ibrahim; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2013-01-01) In this study, we investigated the effect of electrolyte composition, photoanode thickness, and the additions of GuSCN (guanidinium thiocyanate), NMB (N-methylbenimidazole), and SiO2 on the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs (dye sensitized solar cells). A bifacial DSSC is realized and irradiated from front and rear sides. The devices give maximum photovoltaic efficiencies for 70% PMII (1-propyl-3-methyl-imidazolium iodide)/30% (EMIB(CN)(4)) (1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetracyanoborate) electrolyte composi...
