    Predicting Emission Characteristics of Volatile Organic Compounds From Wet Surface Coatings
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    A mathematical model is developed to describe the emission characteristics of VOCs from homogeneous wet coating materials deposited on impermeable substrates. The model considers mass transfer in the material and in air, boundary layer resistance and the change in the coating thickness with time due to emission of VOC. Key features of the model are incorporation of concentration dependent VOC diffusion coefficients predicted from a physical model and nonlinear equilibrium isotherm at the coating/air interface. The model is applied to predict emission characteristics of MMA from acrylic based surface coatings. In an attempt to investigate the influences of equilibrium isotherm type and diffusion formalism on the predictions, simulations are performed with either constant or concentration dependent diffusivities and linear or nonlinear equilibrium isotherms. The lowest MMA concentration in air is predicted by incorporating the concentration dependent diffusivity and nonlinear equilibrium isotherm. The results suggest that assuming the diffusivity of MMA constant or equilibrium isotherm linear may lead to wrong conclusions about the emission rates from wet coatings. The model is general, fully predictive and can be used to predict emission rates of different VOCs from different coating materials if diffusion and thermodynamic parameters are available.

    Equilibrium, Thermodynamic and Kinetic Studies for the Biosorption of Aqueous Lead(ii), Cadmium(ii) and Nickel(ii) Ions on Spirulina Platensis
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Şeker, Ayşegül; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Yılmaz, Sinan; Demirel, Zeliha; Shahwan, Talal; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The biosorption of lead(II), cadmium(II) and nickel(II) ions from aqueous solution by Spirulina platensis was studied as a function of time, concentration, temperature, repetitive reactivity, and ionic competition. The kinetic results obeyed well the pseudo second-order model. Freundlich, Dubinin Radushkevich and Temkin isotherm models were applied in describing the equilibrium partition of the ions. Freundlich isotherm was applied to describe the design of a single-stage batch sorption system. According to the thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG°, ΔH°and ΔS° calculated, the sorption process was endothermic and largely driven towards the products. Sorption activities in a three metal ion system were studied which indicated that there is a relative selectivity of the biosorbent towards Pb2+ ions. The measurements of the repetitive reusability of S. platensis indicated a large capacity towards the three metal ions.
