Pyrite, FeS2 , naturally present in solid fuels can act as catalysts during hydrogenation processes. In general, metal sulfide catalysts are used as hydrogenation and hydrodesulfurization processes of petroleum fractions. The defects in crystal lattice were considered as the responsible parts of catalytic activity. Therefore, the presence of metal sulfide active sites in the structure increases the process efficiency. Since pyrite is a metal sulfide present in the coal structure, Guin et al. reported a higher reaction rate in the presence of pyrite during hydrogenation process [1]. In this study, catalytic effect of pyrite has been investigated by hydrogenation of a high sulfur Turkish lignite and asphaltite at atmospheric pressure. The first results of hydrogenation experiments for Tuncbilek lignite with high pyrite content (2.6% in weight) revealed that H2 reduction decreases the sulfur contents considerably. Additionally, the amount of residual carbon decreased as observed from the decrease in CO2 formation rate of hydrogenation residue during TPO. These effects are interpreted for the catalytic effect of pyrite [2]. Hydrodesulfurization of Şırnak asphaltite with 1.59% pyrite, is carried out under 100 sccm flow of 10% H2 and balance N2 . Gas and liquid product analysis indicated that hydrogenation of asphaltite results in a significant decrease in total sulfur while producing nearly 20% liquid fuel, which contains organics from C6 to C26.

Process development for continuous photofermentative hydrogen production Boran, Efe; Eroğlu, İnci; Özgür, Ebru; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011) By the integration of dark and photo fermentative hydrogen production processes, higher yields of hydrogen can be obtained from biomass. In the first step, biomass is utilized for hydrogen production by dark fermentation and in the second step, the effluent of dark fermentation is further utilized for hydrogen production by photofermentation using photosynthetic purple non-sulfur bacteria. The purpose of this study was to develop a solar pilot scale tubular photobioreactor (PBR) for continuous photo ferment...
CATALYTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MASSIVE AND LOADED SULFONIC RESINS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF ETHYL tert-BUTYL ETHER AT ATMOSPHERIC AND INCREASED PRESSURE Vlasenko, N. V.; Kochkin, Yu. N.; Strizhak, P. E.; Doğu, Timur; DOĞU, GÜLŞEN; OKTAR, NURAY; Degirmenci, L. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-11-01) The catalytic characteristics of massive and loaded sulfonic resins in the synthesis of ethyl tert-butyl ether at atmospheric and increased pressures have been compared. It has been established that massive sulfonic resins are more active than loaded resins at atmospheric pressure. At higher pressures, on the other hand, the activity and selectivity of catalysts are greater the lower the content of polymer as a result of the increased effectiveness of the acid centers.
Partial oxidation of methane on the SiO2 surface - A quantum chemical study Ozturk, S; Onal, I; Senkan, S (2000-02-01) Reaction pathways for methane partial oxidation (MPO) on silica were theoretically investigated using the semiempirical MOPAC-PM3 molecular orbital method. The surface of SiO2 was modeled by a helical Si6O18H12 molecular cluster that also exhibits a strained siloxane bridge defect. First, a bond energy analysis was performed on the silica cluster with isolated 3- and 4-coordinated Si surface atoms. Calculated bond dissociation energies for Si-H, SiO-H, and SI-OH were comparable to H-CH3, H-OH, and O-O. In t...
Kinetic analysis of photosynthetic growth, hydrogen production and dual substrate utilization by Rhodobacter capsulatus Sevinc, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk; EROĞLU, İNCİ; Yucel, Meral (2012-11-01) Rhodobacter capsulatus is purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacterium which can produce hydrogen and CO2 by utilizing volatile organic acids in presence of light under anaerobic conditions. Photofermentation by PNS bacteria is strongly affected by temperature and light intensity. In the present study we present the kinetic analysis of growth, hydrogen production, and dual consumption of acetic acid and lactic acid at different temperatures (20, 30 and 38 degrees C) and light intensities (1500, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 50...
Coordination polymerization of cyclic ethers by metal xanthates and carbamates Taş, Hüseyin; Alyürük, Kemal; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2003) Zinc xanthates are active catalysts in stereoregular polymerization of propylene oxide and markedly more stable than that of known classical stereoregular catalysts. But steric control of zinc xanthates is weaker. To find more effective catalyst systems the isopropyl xanthates of Cu, Pb, Ni, Fe, Al and Sn are investigated and only copper (Cu(isoPr)Xt) and tin (Sn(isoPr)Xt) isopropyl xanthates were appeared to be active, but Cu(isoPr)Xt yielded only low molecular weight product. Therefore Sn(isoPr)Xt system ...
