Atmospheres containing 99 kPa of helium, argon, neon (for mushrooms only), nitrous oxide or nitrogen were flushed into airtight glass jars containing mushrooms or sliced apples to create anaerobic conditions at 10degreesC. Anaerobic CO2 production rates (fermentative index, FI), color, firmness, tissue ethanol and headspace ethanol in the jars of both products were measured. As compared to nitrogen, noble gases and nitrous oxide did not have any significant effect in reducing the rate of anaerobic catabolism (FI and ethanol production rate), color and firmness of either product. Increasing amounts of CO2 were confirmed to be responsible for the yellow discoloration and firmness retention of mushrooms. High correlation coefficients were obtained between combined mean values of headspace ethanol, tissue ethanol and headspace CO2 concentrations of mushrooms and sliced apples. Residual oxygen levels left in the jars and trapped in the tissues seem to be responsible for the initial rise in CO2 production of sliced apples and mushrooms and were estimated as 1.5 and 1.75 kPa, respectively.

Influence of oxygen concentration on the sooting behavior of ethanol droplet flames in microgravity conditions Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet; Choi, Mun Young; Kazakov, Andrei; Dryer, Frederick L. (Elsevier BV, 2007-1) The influence of oxygen (O-2) concentration and inert on the sooting and burning behavior of large ethanol droplets under microgravity conditions was investigated through measurements of burning rate, flame temperature, sootshell diameter, and soot volume fraction. The experiments were performed at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) 2.2 s drop tower in Cleveland, OH. Argon (Ar), helium (He), and nitrogen (N-2) were used as the inerts and the O-2 concentration was varied between 21% and 50% mole fraction a...
Effect of calcium carbonate addition on carbothermic formation of hexagonal boron nitride ÇAMURLU, HASAN ERDEM; SEVİNÇ, NACİ; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) Effect of CaCO3 on formation of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was investigated by holding CaCO3 free and CaCO3 added activated carbon-boric oxide mixtures under nitrogen atmosphere at 1500 degrees C for 30-120 min. Amount of CaCO3 addition was varied in the range of 0-50 wt.% of the initial mixture. Products were characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry, FT-IR analysis, quantitative chemical analysis, scanning electron microscopy and BET specific surface area analysis. It was observed that calcium carb...
EFFECT OF PRETREATMENTS ON THE SEMICONTINUOUS ANAEROBIC-DIGESTION OF SUNFLOWER HEADS POLAT, H; Selçuk, Nevin; SOYUPAK, S (1992-10-01) The effects of hydraulic retention time and alkali treatment on methane production rate from the semicontinuous anaerobic digestion of 2 % sunflower-head/water mixtures were investigated. The experiments were carried out in laboratory-scale fermenters, fed with 1 liter of untreated, 2 g NaOH/100 g total solids (TS), and 5 g NaOH/100 g TS alkali-treated sunflower-head/water mixtures, respectively, and maintained at 55-degrees-C Digestion experiments were performed for hydraulic retention times of 8, 10, and ...
Effect of carbon to nitrogen ratio on the physical and chemical properties of activated sludge Durmaz, B; Sanin, Faika Dilek (2003-11-01) The effect of carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) of the feed on the physical and surface chemical properties of activated sludge is investigated. Semi-continuous reactors with 2 liters volume were operated at a mean cell residence time of 8 days. These mixed culture reactors were operated at 3 different carbon to nitrogen ratio. The operation of conventional activated sludge plants treating municipal wastewater is represented with reactors having a C/N ratio of 21 (in terms of the ratio of COD to TKN). Carbon a...
Effect of the number of cycles on the optical and structural properties of Mn3O4 nanostructures obtained by SILAR technique BAYRAM, ÖZKAN; Simsek, Onder; GÜNEY, HARUN; İĞMAN, ERDAL; Ozer, Mustafa Murat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-06-01) In this study, nanostructured Mn3O4 (manganese oxide) thin films were successfully obtained by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method on the soda lime glass substrates using Manganese Nitrate (Mn(NO3)(2)) and Ammonium hydroxide (NH4(OH)) as cationic and anionic precursors respectively. Structural and morphological characterizations of the Mn3O4 films obtained at different cycles were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The crystal structure...
