Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Novel Hybrid Adsorption-Electrodialysis (aded) System for Removal of Boron From Geothermal Brine(American Chemical Society, 2022) Altınbaş, Bekir Fırat; Orak, Ceren; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Yüksel, Aslı; Orak, Ceren; Yüksel Özşen, Aslı; 03.07. Department of Environmental Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringA novel hybrid adsorption-electrodialysis (AdED) system to remove environmentally harmful boron from geothermal brine was designed and effective operating parameters such as pH, voltage, and flow rate were studied. A cellulose-based adsorbent was synthesized from glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) grafted cellulose and modified with a boron selective n-methyl-d-glucamine (NMDG) group and characterized with SEM-EDX, FT-IR, and TGA analyses. Batch adsorption studies revealed that cellulose-based adsorbent showed a remarkable boron removal capacity (19.29 mg/g), a wide stable operating pH range (2-10), and an adsorption process that followed the Freundlich isotherm (R2= 0.95) and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2= 0.99). In the hybrid AdED system, the optimum operating parameters for boron removal were found to be a pH of 10, a voltage of 10 V, a flow rate of 100 mL/min, and an adsorbent dosage of 4 g/L. The presence of the adsorbent in the hybrid system increased boron removal from real geothermal brine (containing 199 ppm boron) from 7.2% to 73.3%. The results indicate that the designed AdED system performs better than bare electrodialysis for boron removal from ion-rich real geothermal brine while utilizing environmentally friendly cellulose-based adsorbent.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Box-Behnken Design for Hydrogen Evolution From Sugar Industry Wastewater Using Solar-Driven Hybrid Catalysts(American Chemical Society, 2022) Orak, Ceren; Yüksel Özşen, Aslı; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringHydrogen is a clean and green fuel and can be produced from renewable sources via photocatalysis. Solar-driven hybrid catalysts were synthesized and characterized (scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DSR)), and the results implied that graphene-supported LaRuO3is a more promising photocatalyst to produce hydrogen and was used to produce hydrogen from sugar industry wastewater. To investigate the main and interaction effects of reaction parameters (pH, catalyst amount, and [H2O2]0) on the evolved hydrogen amount, the Box-Behnken experimental design model was used. The highest hydrogen evolution obtained was 6773 μmol/gcatfrom sugar industry wastewater at pH 3, 0.15 g/L GLRO, and 15 mM H2O2. Based on the Pareto chart for the evolved hydrogen amount using GLRO, among the main effects, the only effective parameter was the catalyst amount for the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from sugar industry wastewater. In addition, the squares of pH and two-way interaction of pH and [H2O2]0were also statistically efficient over the evolved hydrogen amount.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Electrolytic Oxidation of 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec in Hot-Compressed Water on a Titanium Electrode(American Chemical Society, 2020) Orak, Ceren; Yüksel Özşen, Aslı; Yüksel Özşen, Aslı; Orak, Ceren; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringThe nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organic compound, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), was chosen to prepare a model solution to represent nitrogen-containing industrial waste streams. A hybrid reactor system was designed to combine electrolysis with wet oxidation in hot compressed water using a titanium electrode. The effects of current density, NaOH concentration, and reaction time on DBU and total organic carbon (TOC) removal were investigated via Minitab 18 software to clarify the main and interaction effects. Statistical analysis shows that the NaOH concentration and current density had significant effects on DBU removal. The highest DBU (91.2%) and TOC (45%) removal was observed at the lowest DBU concentration (3 mM) for 90 min of reaction time. Last, the effect of temperature on DBU and TOC removal was investigated. TOC removal was described with the first-order reaction kinetic model. Rate constants were determined as 0.0025, 0.041, and 0.050 min(-1) at 200, 240, and 280 degrees C, respectively. The activation energy was calculated as 79.86 kJ/mol.
