In this study, a modified Fenton system using calcium peroxide (CaO2) powder, as an effective source of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in aqueous solution was investigated. Our results indicated that degradation of SMX in Fe(II)-EDTA catalyzed CaO2 system was readily more efficient than in Fe(II) catalyzed CaO2 system. The SMX degradation efficiency was found maximum at pH 6.0 and SMX degradation was suppressed as the initial solution pH was increased. Nevertheless overall removal efficiency in this system was favorable near to neutral pH. In addition, it was observed that the higher bicarbonates (HCO3-) contents had a considerable scavenging ability to SMX degradation while low concentration exhibited auspicious role. The presence of chlorides (Cl-), nitrates (NO3-), sulfates (SO42-), and humic acid (HA) could improve SMX removal in this Fenton-like system. Furthermore, chemical probe and radical scavenging activity confirmed the formation of hydroxyl (HO center dot) and superoxide (O-2(-)center dot) radicals, and also described that the SMX degradation was predominantly due to the HO center dot-induced oxidative destruction. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies for different systems, different pH values and different reaction times were carried out to determine the HO center dot radical intensities. EPR results showed that HO center dot intensities were higher in Fe(II)-EDTA catalyzed CaO2 system, at pH 6.0 and at 90 s reaction time, respectively. Intermediate products of SMX were identified and possible mechanism of SMX degradation was suggested. In conclusion, this work provided comprehensive knowledge for the use of Fe(II)-EDTA catalyzed CaO2 system for remediation of SMX contaminated sites.

Enzymatic extraction of activated sludge extracellular polymers and implications on bioflocculation Sesay, Ml; Özcengiz, Gülay; Sanin, Faika Dilek (Elsevier BV, 2006-04-01) This study examines enzyme hydrolysis, a mild, effective, but a rarely used method of extracellular polymer extraction, in removing polymers from mixed culture activated sludge flocs. Two carbohydrate specific enzymes (a-amylase and cellulase) and a protein specific enzyme (proteinase) are used during the study. First, the kinetic aspect is investigated, then enzyme dose optimization is carried out on laboratory grown activated sludge samples cultured at solids retention times (SRT) of 4 and 20 days. A more...
Covalent immobilization of invertase on chemically activated poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) microbeads Altinok, H.; Aksoy, S.; Tumturk, H.; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2006-10-01) Properties of invertase immobilized on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) microbeads activated by epichlorohydrin or cyanuric chloride were studied. After 20 repeated uses for 3 days, the activity of the immobilized enzyme was 92-93%.
Adsorption of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions using activated carbon prepared from olive stone by ZnCl2 activation Kula, Ibrahim; Ugurlu, Mehmet; Karaoglu, M. Hamdi; Celik, Ali (2008-02-01) This study is aimed to remove Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions by adsorption. As adsorbent, activated carbon prepared from olive stone, an agricultural solid by-product was used. Different activating agent (ZnCl2) amounts and adsorbent particle size were studied to optimize adsorbent surface area. The adsorption experiments were conducted at different parameters such as, adsorbent dose, temperature, equilibrium time and pH. According to the experiments results, the equilibrium time, optimum pH, adsorbent ...
Mathematical Modeling of 1, 3-Butadiene Polymerization Initiated by Hydrogen Peroxide Mahmoudian, Mehdi; Nosratzadegan, Keyvan; Ghasemıkouchameshgı, Mahmoud; Shokri, Aref (2020-09-01) In this study, the modeling of polymerization of 1, 3-butadiene in the presence of hydrogen peroxide has been reported for the first time. For this purpose, the Method of double moments was applied. The modeling has been performed to investigate the effect of reaction condition on the properties of synthesized Polybutadiene, and the role of kinetic coefficients on the output of model i.e. sensitivity analysis. A comprehensive kinetic model was developed based on previous experimental studies. Then, the mome...
Folic acid functionalized PEG coated magnetic nanoparticles for targeting anti-cancer drug delivery: Preparation, characterization and cytotoxicity on Doxorubicin, Zoledronic acid and Paclitaxel resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines Keskin, Tugba; Yalcin, Serap; Gündüz, Ufuk (2018-01-01) In this study, MNPs were synthesized, coated with biocompatible polyethylene glycol (PEG) and conjugated with folic acid. Crystal and chemical structures, shape, size and magnetic properties of synthesized nanoparticles were characterized. Agglomeration tendency of naked nanoparticles were prevented by oleic acid addition during the synthesis. All synthesized MNPs have been found to exhibit superparamagnetic behavior at 23 degrees C and 37 degrees C. Cytotoxic effects of MNPs were investigated on Doxorubici...
