These membranes combine polymeric matrices with inorganic nanofillers to synergize the excellent separation performance of inorganic materials with the mechanical stability of polymers. The choice of nanofillers, such as porous and nonporous materials, significantly influences the gas permeability and selectivity of the resulting nanocomposite membranes. Porous fillers with interstitial channels and large surface areas are found to selectively adsorb CO2, enhancing membrane separation performance. On the other hand, nonporous fillers alter the polymer chain orientation, influencing gas separation differently. The 1D, 2D, and 3D morphologies of nanofillers offer unique properties in terms of surface-to-volume ratio, permeability, and selectivity. The fabrication of nanocomposite membranes also plays a crucial role, and advances in materials and manufacturing techniques have enabled the design of high-performing membranes. Asymmetric and symmetric configurations have been explored to optimize separation efficiency. Nevertheless, challenges such as aging, compaction, and swelling need to be addressed to ensure the long-term stability of nanocomposite membranes. Future research should focus on developing advanced theoretical models to better predict gas permeation behaviors in these membranes. Overall, nanocomposite membranes offer a promising avenue for efficient CO2 removal, contributing to sustainable environmental practices and energy production. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.

Calcium stearate powder was prepared from sodium stearate and calcium chloride by precipitation from aqueous solutions. CaSt2 and the Light Neutral Base oil were mixed together to obtain lubricating oil. It was found that CaSt2 had a melting temperature of 142.8 °C and in base oil it had a lower melting point, above 128 °C. It was dispersed as lamellar micelles as the optical micrographs had shown. From rate of settling the size of dispersed particles were found to be 1.88 µm and 0.11 µm for lubricants having 1% and 2% CaSt2, respectively. The friction coefficient and wear scar diameter of base oil 0.099 and 1402 nm were reduced to 0.0730 and 627.61 nm respectively for the lubricant having 1% CaSt2. Lower wear scar diameter (540 nm) was obtained for lubricant with 2% CaSt2. CaSt2 improved the lubricating property of the base oil but did not improve its oxidative and thermal stability. © 2015 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2Data Driven Leak Detection in a Real Heat Exchanger in an Oil Refinery(Elsevier, 2023) Yasmal, Aslı; Kuşoğlu Kaya, Gizem; Oktay, Emirhan; Çölmekci, Ceylan; Uzunlar, ErdalThis study focuses on implementation of a data-based leak detection method in a heat exchanger in a petroleum refinery. We have studied on the two real leakage cases in a heat exchanger in Izmit TUPRAS Refinery. Leaks are one of the major problems that occur in operations. The autoencoder (AE) method is implemented for leak detection. Reconstruction error is used as the leak indicator. In case of leakage, the reconstruction value is expected to increase. For both cases examined, the reconstruction error is found to be around 1-5 under normal operating conditions. On the other hand, reconstruction error is observed to change between 10 and 60 under the conditions with leakage. Besides, the AE is able to indicate the start of one leakage case before the process engineers noticed it. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 3Tissue Engineering Applications of Marine-Based Materials(Springer, 2022) Polat, Hürriyet; Zeybek, Nuket; Polat, MehmetTissue engineering is a promising approach in replacing or improving tissues lost or has become nonviable due to disease or trauma by the use of scaffold materials by combining engineering and biochemical/physicochemical methods.

Considering the environmental impacts, deep eutectic solvents can be considered as a potential green alternative for the replacement of volatile organic solvents commonly used in the extraction process. In this study, a new type of green solvent named hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (HDES) based on decanoic acid as a hydrogen bond acceptor and menthol as a hydrogen bond donor was utilized for the reactive extraction of formic, acetic, and propionic acids from their aqueous solutions. The effect of initial acid concentration, HDES molar ratio, and tri-n-octyl amine (TOA) concentration on extraction efficiency was investigated. Modeling of the reactive extraction process was performed via a response surface methodology with a central composite design. Herein, the effect of the parameters of TOA concentration, HDES molar ratio, and initial acid concentration on the distribution coefficient was investigated. According to the results, it was reported that the most effective parameter on the extraction efficiency (%E) was the amount of extractant. The results of the experimental studies showed that the highest separation efficiency was obtained for 5% initial concentrations of formic, acetic, and propionic acids by using a mixture of 0.5 HDES molar ratio solvent and 1.9 mol/L TOA. The extraction efficiencies of these acids were found to be 88.71, 92.52, and 95.90 with +/- 0.1 standard deviation, respectively.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 32Language of Response Surface Methodology as an Experimental Strategy for Electrochemical Wastewater Treatment Process Optimization(Elsevier, 2022) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Khataee, AlirezaThe availability and accessibility to safe and secure water resources are the key technological and scientific concerns of global significance. As a result of water scarcity worldwide, wastewater treatment and reuse are considered viable options to replace freshwater resources in agricultural irrigation and domestic and industrial purposes. A significant need for clean water has promoted the invention and/or enhancement of several electrochemical wastewater treatment (EWT) processes. Optimization of the process variables plays a crucial role in wastewater treatment to enhance technology performance, considering removal efficiency, operating cost, and environmental impacts. These processes are fundamentally complex multivariable, and the optimization through conventional methods is unreliable, inflexible, and time- and material-consuming. In this perspective, response surface methodology (RSM) appears to be a beneficial statistical experimental strategy for the performance optimization of the EWT process. This model could be utilized for the optimization and analysis of the individual and/or combined effects of operational variables on the treatment process to improve the system performance. Furthermore, this model provides a number of information from a slight number of experimental trials. In this chapter, a summary and a discussion are presented on the RSM model used in the electrochemical wastewater treatment processes to overcome process crucial challenges toward the optimization and modeling of process parameters. It provides a potential model to enhance the various types of wastewater treatment process performance with effective optimization. Overall, it is described that the RSM model can be used in EWT processes to find the optimum conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Photocatalytic and Optical Properties of Zinc Oxide Structures Prepared at Different Urea Concentrations(Serban Solacolu Foundation, 2020) Uysal, Berk; Şen, Selin; Top, AybenIn this study, ZnO samples were synthesized using zinc acetate and urea with a method containing sonication, sol-gel transition and calcination steps. Urea to zinc acetate mole ratio values were changed as 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 and corresponding calcined samples were denoted as UZ-0, UZ-0.5, UZ-1, and UZ-2, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicated globular and rod-like structures. Aspect ratios of the nanorods increased as urea to zinc acetate ratio increased from 0 to 1 whereas nanoparticles with sizes of 70 +/- 20 nm were observed for UZ-2 sample. Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area values of the samples varied between 9 and 25 m(2)/g and increased as initial urea amount increased. Band gap energies of the samples ranged between 3.24 and 3.29 eV. Four major peaks at about 400, 420, 480 and 530 nm with different intensities were observed in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the samples. All the samples removed rhodamine B by both adsorption and photodegradation. The highest visible light induced photodegradation rate was exhibited by UZ-2 sample having the highest surface area and it is attributed to superior charge separation properties of this sample under visible light.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Characterization of a Pearlescent Biaxially Oriented Multilayer Polypropylene Film(Lviv Polytechnic National University, 2015) Arkış, Esen; Çetinkaya, Hayrullah; Kurtuluş, Işıl; Ulucan, Utku; Aytaç, Arda; Balcı, Beste; Balköse, DevrimThe morphology, composition, optical, thermal and mechanical properties of a commercial pearlescent and multilayer biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films were determined.

However, there is a gap in literature about the levulinic acid, which is a high worth substance, production from biomass using subcritical water. As a green chemistry approach, decomposition of biomass could be obtained using subcritical water effectively. In this case, water uses as a solvent so that it gives a possibility to take place a reaction for the decomposition of biomass. Subcritical water, which liquid water and its temperature is higher than the normal boiling point of water, has higher ion product as well as higher concentrations of H+ and OH- ions. Additionally, it has high diffusivity, low viscosity and much lower dielectric constant. For instance, whereas dielectric constant of subcritical water is 80 at 298 K, it is 2 at 673 K. The point of this research paper is to assess the impacts of different reaction parameters on cellulose conversion as the principle segment of lignocellulosic biomasses for the production of value-added chemicals, particularly levulinic acid. Hazelnut shell waste was chosen as model biomass since hazelnut is a standout amongst the most cultivated agricultural crops in Turkey. Besides, Turkey provide 70% of the world's total hazelnut production. It was found that as reaction temperature increases, a considerable improvement on the amount of formed levulinic acid and conversion of hazelnut shell was observed. For instance, when the reaction temperature, time and acid concentration were 280 degrees C, 120 min and 50 mM, respectively, levulinic acid yield and conversion of hazelnut shell were found as 13.05 and 65.40%, respectively. Addition of H2SO4 enhanced the production of levulinic acid from waste hazelnut shell. Another method which is hybrid process could be used to produce value-added chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. Hybrid process basically combines hydrolysis and electrolysis in subcritical water. Subcritical water has much lower dielectric constant than liquid water at ambient temperature. So, it was claimed that if constant current was applied to the reaction medium through specially designed electrodes in subcritical water environment, electrolysis could alter the hydrolysis reaction of cellulose in a way of protonation of intra-and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding around anode and as a result electrolysis in subcritical water could decrease necessary thermal energy to hydrolyze the beta(1-4) glycosidic linkage. Therefore, we developed a green hybrid process by combining hydrolysis and electrolysis in subcritical water without using any toxic, organic solvents and catalyst. Effects of especially applied current and temperature on the product distribution and conversions of cellulose were revealed and hydrothermal electrolysis reaction pathway of cellulose was proposed. The significance of the interaction indicated that, applied voltage had major impact on cellulose hydrolysis. Maximum cellulose conversion (82%) was achieved at 230 degrees C and 180 min of reaction time in 25 mM of H2SO4. Application of 8.0 V of applied voltage to the reaction medium at reaction temperature of 230 degrees C increased the TOC conversion (50.3%) with acid concentration of 25 mM in comparison with current-free experiments. Thus, the idea of electrochemically generated acid layer due to the dissociation of water around anode is supported. As future perspective, the output of the study gave an idea about converting cellulose and various biomass wastes, which may have high cellulose, content and led the way in obtaining valuable chemicals from no utilized real biomass sources such as hazelnut shell waste. The studies with other biomasses are undergoing.
