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 moment and population balance of the reactants were obtained. Modeling results were used to study the role of initiator concentration and the type of solvent in polymerization kinetics and final polymer properties. In addition, the sensitivity of modeling results in a transfer to the initiator, radical coupling and finally transfer to polymer reactions was investigated. This study opens a way for the engineering of manufacturing the Hydroxyl-Terminated PolyButadiene (HTPB) process to obtain the desired products with optimized reaction conditions. Results show that initiator concentration and type of solvent are important in polymerization kinetics and properties of HTPBs. A higher amount of initiator increases radical concentration and consequently rates of bimolecular termination and at the lower level, rate of propagation, and polymer double bonds reactions.

Experimental investigation of nanofluids using terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz TDS) Koral, Can; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Altan, Hakan; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2012) In this study, suspensions of metallic nanoparticles in base fluids, nanofluids, are investigated by using terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Nanofluids are used as the working fluid in a variety of applications especially for the purpose of heat transfer enhancement. Polar fluids are being used as the base in nanofluids for their tendency to stop aggregation and sedimentation. Polar fluids highly absorb THz signal. In order to select the best possible host, various polar liquids have been invest...
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 ...
Design rules for suspending concentrated mixtures of solids in stirred tanks Ayrancı Tansık, İnci (2011-10-01) This study examines complete off-bottom suspension conditions for slurries containing mixtures of solids at a wide range of concentrations. Binary combinations of five different particles; bronze, two sizes of glass beads, ion exchange resin, and nickel were tested with two impellers: the Lightnin A310 and the down pumping 45 degrees PBT. The effect of particle size ratio and density ratio of the two solid phases on N(js) was investigated. Solids loadings were varied from 3 to 56 wt% (weight percent) with w...
Electrochemical copolymerization of thiophene containing pseudo-polyether cages with pyrrole Cihaner, Atilla; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (2006-01-01) Conducting copolymers were synthesized via the electrochemical oxidation of pyrrole (Py) in the presence of the monomer 1,12-bis(2-thienyl)-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecane (1). The presence of monomer I in the electrolytic solution greatly changed the CV behavior of Py during its potensiodynamic polymerization. The electroactivity of poly(I-co-Py) increased with the increasing amount of I in the comonomer mixture. Copolymer films were prepared via constant potential electrolysis in an electrolytic solution contai...
MODELING OF DYE REDUCTION BY SLUDGE DIGESTION: COMBINED EFFECT OF BIOCHEMICAL AND CHEMICAL REDUCTION Ozkan-Yucel, Umay Gokce; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (OAIMDD - EcoZone Publishing House, 2017-07-01) The kinetics of azo dye reduction based on combined effect of biochemical reduction by anaerobic mixed culture and chemical reduction with hydrogen sulfide was investigated. Hydrogen sulfide was produced by sulphate reducing bacteria existing in the anaerobic mixed culture. The effect of initial anaerobic biomass, initial substrate, and initial dye (Reactive Orange 107) concentrations on reduction kinetics were studied with batch assays. The municipal waste sludge was used as electron donating substrate for...
