The removal of phorate from aqueous solution by adsorption on two different adsorbents, powdered activated carbon (PAC) and natural zeolite chabazite (CHA), has been studied. Effects of operational conditions, such as initial phorate concentration (1, 0.75 and 0.5 mg/L), PAC and CHA doses (12.5, 25 and 37.5 mg/L), pH (3, 7 and 9), temperature (15, 25 and 35 ºC) and mixing intesities (120, 160 and 200 rpm) were investigated. Under acidic conditions (pH=3), PAC and CHA performes better. Especially when the adsorbent is CHA, the removal efficiency increased to appraximately 80% from 50% when pH is acidic. The initial concentration of phorate affects the adsorption on PAC and CHA differently. For PAC, the overall rate increases with decreasing initial concentration while it decreases for CHA. The effect of adsorbent amount for the removal of phorate is observed up to 25 mg/L for PAC and CHA which indicates that there is no enhancement in the removal of phorate after the aforementioned dose of adsorbent. The adsorption of phorate on CHA is especially affected by the shaking speed as the speed increases from 120 rpm to 200 rpm, the removal efficiency increases to 80% from 60%. The changes in temperature does not affect the equilibrium conditions significantly; however overall adsorption rates for the two adsorbents react oppositely to the changes. The rate constant for PAC increases with increasing temperature while the rate constans for CHA decreases. Pseudo-first order (PFO) and pseudo-second-order (PSO) models were tested for adsorption kinetics of phorate on PAC and CHA under different operational conditions. For all operational conditions, PSO model is the best-fitted model for both PAC and CHA. In order to investigate the equilibrium behavior of phorate when adsorbed on PAC and CHA, adsorption isotherm experiments are conducted at neutral pH and room temperature with shaking speed of 160 rpm. Langmuir and Freundlich istoherm models are tested for this purpose. Adsorption onto PAC is well-defined by both Langmuir and Freundlich models while the equilibrium behavior is well-described by Freundlich model when adsorbent is CHA. Based on the Langmuir model, maximum adsorption capacity of PAC for phorate was calculated as 26 mg/g.

THE OXIDATION OF BETA-ALKOXYCYCLOPENTENONES AND BETA-ALKOXYCYCLOHEXENONES TO ALPHA'-ACYLOXY DERIVATIVES USING MANGANESE(III) ACETATE IN COMBINATION WITH CARBOXYLIC-ACIDS
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; SAYRAC, T; WATT, DS (1990-12-01)
The alpha-oxidation of cyclic derivatives of beta-alkoxy-alpha, beta-unsaturated ketones using manganese (III) acetate in the presence of various carboxylic acids provided a convenient synthesis of 5-acyloxy-3-alkoxy-2-cyclopentenones and 6-acyloxy-3-alkoxy-2-cyclohexenones.
Synthesis of Magnetic Fe3O4-Chitosan Nanoparticles by Ionic Gelation and Their Dye Removal Ability
ŞAHBAZ, DENİZ AKIN; YAKAR, ARZU; Gündüz, Ufuk (2015-05-01)
The aim of this study was to synthesize magnetic Fe3O4 chitosan nanoparticles (m-Fe3O4-CNs) by ionic gelation method and use them as adsorbent for the removal of Bromothymol Blue (BB) from aqueous solutions. Also, the effect of various parameters on the preparation of m-Fe3O4-CNs was investigated in this study. The nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and ...
The biodegradation of benzene, toluene and phenol in a two-phase system
Hamed, TA; Bayraktar, E; Mehmetoglu, U; Mehmetoglu, T (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-15)
A two-phase aqueous-organic system was used to degrade benzene, toluene and phenol, individually and as mixture by Pseudomonas putida F1 (ATCC 700007). In the first stage of the work, the effect of the phase ratio (0-1, v/v) and the agitation rate (150 and 200 rpm) on the biodegradation process was investigated in an orbital shaker using 2-undecanone as the solvent and the most suitable phase ratio and agitation rate were found to be 0.0625 (v/v) and 200 rpm, respectively. P. putida F1 was added into the aq...
Production and characterization of activated carbon from horse chestnut kernel
Demirok, Tuğba; Yücel, Hayrettin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2015)
The production of activated carbon from horse chestnut kernel by chemical activation using phosphoric acid and characterization of produced activated carbons are presented in this work. To investigate effect of process parameters on porous structure of activated carbons, chemical activation was performed at the temperature of 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 ºC for impregnation ratios (weight of activation agent / weight g of sample) of 1:1 and 2:1. Chemical activation experiments were carried out in a quart...
The use of pyrolysis mass spectrometry to investigate polymerization and degradation processes of methyl amine-based benzoxazine
Bagherifam, Shahla; Uyar, Tamer; Ishida, Hatsuo; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2010-06-01)
In this study, direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry, DP-MS, was applied to investigate curing and polymerization mechanisms of phenol and methyl amine-based benzoxazine monomer, and thermal decomposition and crosslinking characteristics of the corresponding polybenzoxazine. The results indicated opposing polymerization reaction routes besides the generally accepted one. The cleavage of C-O bonds of the oxazine rings either followed by transformation into a polymer constituting ortho or para substituted phenol...
