    Ethyl Esters Biodiesel Production From Spirulina Sp. and Nannochloropsis Oculata Microalgal Lipids Over Alumina-Calcium Oxide Catalyst
    (Elsevier, 2020) Türkkul, Berk; Deliismail, Özgün; Şeker, Erol
    In this study, we present the ethyl esters biodiesel production from Nannochloropsis oculata and Spirulina sp. microalgal lipids on 60 wt% CaO on Al2O3 catalyst at 50 degrees C and 1.0 atm. The activity of the catalyst was studied as a function of ethanol:lipid molar ratios, catalyst amounts and reaction times. It was found that 6 wt% of the lipids as catalyst amount resulted in 59% biodiesel yield in 30 min at 12 of ethanol:lipid molar ratio whereas 90-99% biodiesel yield was obtained at 24 and 48 of ethanol:lipid molar ratios. In order to achieve 90-99% yields, the basic strength was found to be weak and to be in the form of bi-carbonate, whereas high basicity was not necessary. Besides, pure CaO and Al2O3 were not active under the same reaction conditions. We found that the glycerolysis of triacylglyceride occurred in series with the reverse of the transesterification of the triacylglyceride when the catalyst amount was 6 wt% of the lipids and the ethanol:lipid molar ratio was 24 and 48 and the reaction time was 60 min.

    Clinoptilolite Supported Rutile Tio2 Composites: Synthesis, Characterization, and Photocatalytic Activity on the Degradation of Terephthalic Acid
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Yener, H. B.; Yılmaz, M.; Deliismail, Özgün; Özkan, Seher Fehime; Helvacı, Şerife Şeref
    Clinoptilolite supported rutile TiO2 composites were synthesized for the enhancement of its photocatalytic performance in the degradation of the aqueous terephthalic acid solution under UVC illumination by the increase in its surface area and to simplify its recovery from the treated solution after use. The XRD spectra of the composites revealed the formation of pure rutile TiO2 on the surface of the clinoptilolite. The SEM images showed the formation of the spherical TiO2 clusters were composed of nano fibers on the surface of the clinoptilolite. For all composites synthesized, the dispersion of the TiO2 particles on the clinoptilolite led to a surface area larger than that of the bare TiO2 and clinoptilolite. The materials synthesized in the present study exhibited higher catalytic activity compared with the commercial Degussa P25 and anatase. Among the catalysts synthesized the TiO2/clinoptilolite with a weight ratio of 0.5 was found to be the most photoactive catalyst even though it contains a lesser amount of active TiO2. The kinetic of the reactions for different catalyst was found to be consistent with the pseudo-first order kinetic model. The results of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model showed the slight contribution of the adsorption on the degradation. The activity of the TiO2/clinoptilolite with a weight ratio of 0.5 decreased after repetitive use due to the accumulation of the TPA molecules on the surface of the catalyst.
