Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5A Hybrid Process for 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid Herbicidal Treatment and Its Microbial Identification by Maldi-Tof Mass Spectrometry(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) Doğdu Okçu, Gamze; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Yalçuk, ArdaThe feasibility of coupling photocatalysis and a biological treatment to remove a herbicide–2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D)–from pure water was examined using batch experiments following three protocols: aerated (A-BR) and non-aerated biodegradation (NA-BR) alone, and intimately combined photodegradation and biodegradation (P-B). In view of a subsequent biological treatment, 15 and 180 min irradiation times were chosen in accordance with spectrophotometric and LC-MS/MS results that indicated the decrease in the COD/TOC ratio during photocatalysis. Pre-treatment led to a quick decrease in concentration of 2,4-D and COD during the biological process: a 78.79 ± 0.30% COD removal and 38.23 ± 3.12% 2,4-D elimination was measured after 5760 min in A-BR, and 80.89 ± 0.81% COD and 81.36 ± 1.37% 2,4-D removal was achieved after 2880 min in P-B. For species identification using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-time of flight (TOF)-TOF/MS equipment, Aeromonas eucrenophila, Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila, Ralstonia pickettii, Sphingobacterium multivorum and Acinetobacter towneri were identified with high accuracy, and they play important roles in the degradation of 2,4-D.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 7Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Degradation and Mineralization of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid (2,4-D): Its Performance, Kinetics, and Economic Analysis(Desalination Publications, 2019) Doğdu Okçu, Gamze; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Yalçuk, ArdaThe photocatalytic degradation and mineralization of commercial solution of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid (2,4-D) was carried out by UVA/P25 TiO 2 and UVA/P25 TiO 2 /H 2 O 2 oxidation processes under batch-mode conditions. In UVA + TiO 2 photocatalysis (TiO 2 1.5 gL −1 , pH 5, initial 2,4-D 25 mg L −1 ), 97.47% ± 0.27% degradation, 39.89% ± 3.42% mineralization, and 65.52% ± 4.88% oxidation were achieved in 180 min, and in UVA +TiO 2 + H 2 O 2 photocatalysis (TiO 2 1.5 g L −1 , pH 5, initial 2,4-D 25 mg L −1 , H 2 O 2 150 mg L −1 ), 99.74% ± 0.08% degradation, 55.99% ± 2.67% mineralization, and 82.49% ± 1.90% oxidation were obtained in 180 min. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model fitted the experimental data well, and the photocatalytic degradation process was explained by the modified L–H model; k c and K LH were 1.293 mg L −1 min −1 and 0.232 L mg −1 , respectively. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy spectra and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis indicated degradation of organic bonds of the herbicide and adsorption of 2,4-D particles onto the TiO 2 catalyst during 24-h experiments. Moreover, the dependence of k app on the half-life time was determined by calculating the electrical energy per order (E EO ). UVA/TiO 2 /H 2 O 2 photocatalysis may be applied as a pretreatment to 2,4-D herbicide wastewater at a pH of 5 for biological treatment.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 23Valorization of Hazelnut Shell Waste in Hot Compressed Water(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Gözaydın, Gökalp; Yüksel, AslıHydrothermal conversion of waste hazelnut shell in hot compressed water, green and environmentally friendly medium, was investigated under different operating conditions to clarify the effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, acid concentration and acid kind (H2SO4 and H3PO4) on the production of value-added chemicals with high temperature/high pressure autoclave. In literature, to our best knowledge, there is no study about the production of levulinic acid, as a high value chemical, from waste hazelnut shell in hot-compressed water without using any mineral and heterogeneous catalyst. Hydrothermal reactions were conducted at 150–280 °C for reaction times of 15 to 120 min with various H2SO4 and H3PO4 concentrations varying from 0 to 125 mM. The detailed liquid product species were identified with High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and gaseous products were analyzed by Gas Chromatography with a Thermal Conductivity Detector (GC-TCD). The main identified liquid compounds were levulinic acid, acetic acid and furfural while carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide were the major gaseous products. Increasing the reaction temperature (280 °C) and reaction time (120 min) resulted in a significant increment on the conversion (65.40%) as well as levulinic acid yield (13.05%). The production of levulinic acid was enhanced with H2SO4 addition; whereas treatments with H3PO4 improved the furfural production.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 18Formulation and Properties' Evaluation of Pvc/(dioctyl Phthalate)/ (epoxidized Rubber Seed Oil) Plastigels(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2008) Balköse, Devrim; Egbuchunam, Theresa Obuajulu; Okieimen, Felix EbhodagheEpoxidized rubber seed oil (4.5% oxirane content, ERSO) was prepared by treating the oil with peracetic acid generated in situ by reacting glacial acetic acid with hydrogen peroxide. The thermal behavior of the ERSO was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The effect of the epoxidized oil on the thermal stability of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastigels, formulated to contain dioctyl phthalate (DOP) plasticizer and various amounts of the epoxidized oil, was evaluated by using discoloration indices of the polymer samples degraded at 1600C for 30 min and thermogravimetry at a constant heating rate of 10°C/min up to 600°C. The thermal behavior of the ERSO was characterized by endothermic peaks at about 150°C, which were attributed to the formation of network structures via epoxide groups, and at temperatures above 300°C, which were due to the decomposition of the material. Up to 50% of the DOP plasticizer in the PVC plastisol formulation could be substituted by ERSO without a marked deleterious effect on the consistency of the plastigel formed. In the presence of the epoxidized oil, PVC plastigel samples showed a marked reduction in discoloration and the number of conjugated double bonds, as well as high temperatures for the attainment of specific extents of degradation. These results showed that the ERSO retarded/inhibited thermal dehydrochlorination and the formation of long (n > 6) polyene sequences in PVC plastigels. The plasticizer efficiency/permanence of ERSO in PVC/DOP plastigels was evaluated from mechanical properties' measurements, leaching/migration tests, and water vapor permeability studies. The results showed that a large proportion of DOP could be substituted by ERSO in a PVC plastisol formulation without deleterious effects on the properties of the plastigels.
