    Thermal Liquefaction of Olive Tree Pruning Waste Into Bio-Oil in Water and Ethanol With Naoh Catalyst
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024) Öcal,B.; Recepoğlu,Y.K.; Yüksel,A.
    In this study the effect of catalysts and solvents at varying temperatures on the production of bio-oil from olive tree pruning waste (OPW). The thermal liquefaction process was conducted at 200 °C, 225 °C, and 250 °C for 90 min, employing either water or ethanol as solvents, with alkaline catalysts (0.125 M, 0.25 M, and 0.5 M NaOH) introduced for the first time. Raw material, solid byproducts, and bio-oil samples underwent FTIR analysis for structural changes, TGA for proximate analysis, and GC-MS for bio-oil analysis. Results revealed that NaOH enhanced biomass conversion in water, yet didn't increase bio-oil yield, whereas in ethanol, biomass conversion was relatively lower, but bio-oil yield improved despite the adverse effects of catalyst. The highest biomass conversion (94 %) was achieved at 250 °C with 0.5 M NaOH, but the maximum bio-oil yield (25 %) occurred without a catalyst in water. Conversely, the highest bio-oil yield (55 %) was attained using ethanol without a catalyst at 250 °C. © 2024 Energy Institute

    Granulation of Hydrometallurgically Synthesized Spinel Lithium Manganese Oxide Using Cross-Linked Chitosan for Lithium Adsorption From Water
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024) Recepoğlu,Y.K.; Arabacı,B.; Kahvecioğlu,A.; Yüksel,A.
    A drastic increase in demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems increases lithium (Li) need as a critical metal for the 21st century. Lithium manganese oxides stand out among inorganic adsorbents because of their high capacity, chemical stability, selectivity, and affordability for lithium recovery from aqueous media. This study investigates using hydrometallurgically synthesized lithium manganese oxide (Li1.6Mn1.6O4) in granular form coated with cross-linked chitosan for lithium recovery from water. Characterization methods such as SEM, FTIR, XRD, and BET reveal the successful synthesis of the composite adsorbent. Granular cross-linked chitosan-coated and delithiated lithium manganese oxide (CTS/HMO) adsorbent demonstrated optimal removal efficiency of 86 % at pH 12 with 4 g/L of adsorbent dosage. The Langmuir isotherm at 25 °C, which showed monolayer adsorption with a maximum capacity of 4.94 mg/g, a better fit for the adsorption behavior of CTS/HMO. Adsorption was endothermic and thermodynamically spontaneous. Lithium adsorption followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. © 2024
