In this study, polymetal(iod)s-contaminated mining soil from the Huainan coalfield, Anhui, China, was used to investigate the synergistic effects of biochar (BC), raw coal (RC), and hydrothermally treated coal (HTC) on the immobilization, speciation, transformation, and accumulation of Cd, Cr, and Pb in a soil -plant system via geochemical speciation and advanced spectroscopic approaches. The results revealed that the BC-2% and BC-HTC amendments were more effective than the individual RC, and/or HTC amendments to reduce ethylene-diamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA)-extractable Cd, Cr, and Pb concentrations by elevating soil pH and soil organic carbon content. Soil pH increased by 1.5 and 2.5 units after BC-2% and BC-HTC amendments, respectively, which reduced EDTA-extractable Cd, Cr, and Pb to more stabilized forms. Metal speciation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses suggested that the BC-HTC amendment stimulated the transformation of reactive Cd, Cr, and Pb (exchangeable and carbonate-bound) states to less reachable (oxide and residual) states to decrease the toxicity of these heavy metals. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses suggested that reduction and adsorption by soil colloids may be involved in the mechanism of Cd(II), Cr(VI), and Pb(II) immobilization via hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, and amide groups in the BC and HTC. Additionally, the BC-2% and BC-HTC amendments reduced Cd and Pb accumulation in maize shoots, which could mainly be ascribed to the reduction of EDTA-extractable heavy metals in the soil and more functional groups in the roots, thus inhibiting metal ion translocation by providing the electrons necessary for immobilization, compared to those in roots grown in the unamended soil. Therefore, the combined application of BC and HTC was more effective than the individual application of these amendments to minimize the leaching, availability, and exchangeable states of Cd, Cr, and Pb in polymetal(iod)s-contaminated mining soil and accumulation in maize.

Gas production from hydrate resevoirs Alp, Doruk; Parlaktuma, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005) In this study; gas production by depressurization method from a hydrate reservoir containing free gas zone below the hydrate zone is numerically modeled through 3 dimensional, 3 phase, non-isothermal reservoir simulation. The endothermic nature of hydrate decomposition requires modeling to be non-isothermal; hence energy balance equations must be employed in the simulation process. TOUGH-Fx, the successor of the well known multipurpose reservoir simulator TOUGH2 (Pruess [24]) and its very first module TOUGH...
CO2 emissions of Turkish manufacturing industry: A decomposition analysis Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Tunç, Gül İpek (2011-06-01) In this study. CO2 emissions of Turkish manufacturing industry are calculated by using the fuel consumption data at ISIC revision 2, four digit level. Study covers 57 industries, for the 1995-2001 period. Log Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method is used to decompose the changes in the CO2 emissions of manufacturing industry into five components: changes in activity, activity structure, sectoral energy intensity, sectoral energy mix and emission factors. Mainly, it is found that changes in total industrial activ...
Investigation of turbulence models used in automotive industry Taştan, Umur; Çetinkaya, Tahsin Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this study; reliability and performance of turbulence models used in CFD softwares to determine the aerodynamics of passenger cars, are tested and compared. In the analyses, drag forces acting on the car, pressure and velocity distributions and wake flow patterns are determined by using several turbulence models with a commercial software Fluent. Calculated results compared to the experimental results given in the literature. It is observed that, turbulence models give relatively reliable results for det...
Thermoluminescent properties of Sr2P2O7 doped with copper and some rare earth elements YAZICI, AHMET NECMEDDİN; Seyyidoglu, Semih; Toktamis, Hueseyin; Yılmaz, Ayşen (2010-10-01) In this study. Sr2P2O7 was doped with some rare earth oxides (Pr6O11, Nd2O3, Dy2O3, Ho2O3, Er2O3, and Tm2O3) at 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 10%, and 15% (by weight) and co-doped with CuO by heating at 900 C for 10 h. Structural analysis of the products was carried out by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD patterns of the samples showed that doping did not alter the orthorhombic structure of the Sr2P2O7. Thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve measurements were obtained and these showed that Pr and Cu-doped Sr2P2O...
