This study focuses on the use of swellable organically modified silica (SOMS) as a catalyst support for aqueous-phase hydrodechlorination of trichloroethylene. SOMS is extremely hydrophobic and swells volumetrically when contacted with organics. These properties should help overcome the disadvantages associated with the commercial catalyst (Pd/Al2O3), such as deactivation by anions.

Swellable Organically Modified Silica (SOMS) as a Catalyst Scaffold for Catalytic Treatment of Water Contaminated with Trichloroethylene
Çelik, Gökhan; Sohn, Hyuntae; Tang, Yu; Tao, Franklin Feng; Miller, Jeffrey T.; Edmiston, Paul L.; Ozkan, Umit S. (2018-08-03)
The properties of a swellable organically modified silica (SOMS) scaffold allowed us to synthesize "smart" catalysts with tunable accessibility of the active sites induced by organic swelling agents. Pd nanoparticles (NPs) deposited inside the swollen matrix of SOMS were shown to be selectively located on the interior surface, a surface which is only available through swelling. Techniques such as near ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) and cryogenic scanning electron microscopy (SEM...
Impact modified poly(ethylene terephthalate)-organoclay nanocomposites
Alyamaç, Elif; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemistry (2004)
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of component concentrations and addition order of the components, on the final properties of ternary nanocomposites composed of poly(ethylene terephthalate), organoclay, and an ethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) terpolymer acting as an impact modifier for PET. In this context, first, the optimum amount of the impact modifier was determined by melt compounding binary PET-terpolymer blends in a corotating twin-screw extruder. The amoun...
Nutritional and cultural parameters influencing antidipteran delta endotoxin production
ÖZKAN, MELEK; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01)
In this study, various nutritional and cultural parameters influencing diptera-specific delta-endotoxin synthesis by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis HD500 were investigated. Of various inorganic nitrogen sources, the highest yields of Cry11Aa and Cry4Ba proteins were obtained on (NH4)(2)HPO4. Among carbon sources, inulin, dextrin, maltose, lactose, sucrose, whey and glycerol were all stimulatory, while glucose, starch and molasses were suppressive. High concentrations of inorganic phosphate (50 to...
Microplastics & organics - a comparative study of sorption of triclosan and malachite green onto polyethylene
Ciftci, Goekce; Turkeli, Ulku Dide; Ozen, Elif Yaren; Özdemir, Melek; Sanin, Faika Dilek; İmamoğlu, İpek (2023-02-01)
This study aims to elucidate interaction of organics with microplastics in a comparative manner via the use of two model compounds (i.e., triclosan and malachite green) having different physicochemical properties, onto polyethylene (PE). TCS, is hydrophobic with low solubility , while MG is hydrophilic with high aqueous solubility. Kinetic studies indicate faster sorption (t(eq) = 24 h) and equilibrium studies show much higher capacity (q(e) = 6,921 mg/g) for TCS, when compared to those of MG (t(eq) = 5 d, ...
Removal of endocrine disrupter compounds and trace organics in membrane bioreactors
Komesli, Okan Tarik; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi; Department of Environmental Engineering (2012)
Endocrine disrupters and trace organic contaminants are recently recognized contaminants in wastewaters. Current concept is the multibarier approach where the contaminants are removed from the water cycle both by water and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as natural die-away. In this thesis work LC/MS/MS determination of selected EDC compounds, namely, diltiazem, progesterone, estrone, carbamazepine, benzyl butyl phthalate and acetaminophen, at ultra trace levels, have been carried out by optimizing...
