Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 31Nano-Caco3 Synthesis by Jet Flow(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Ülkeryıldız, Eda; Kılıç, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremA new methodology was introduced to produce hollow nano calcite particles in homogenous size distribution without aggregation. The design consisted of a jet flow system in which the crystallization region was separated from the stabilization region. The newly produced nano CaCO3 particles of about 140 nm were removed from the crystallization region as quickly as possible into the stabilization region before aggregation or crystal growth. In the stages of crystallization, the particles started to dissolve from their edges which opened-up the pores inside the particles. At the late stages of crystallization, the open pores closed. These particles were stable in Ca(OH)2 solution and no aggregation was detected. Different particles with different morphologies can be produced by adjusting the stages in the crystallization.Article Citation - WoS: 48Citation - Scopus: 52Stability of Caco3 in Ca(oh)2 Solution(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Kılıç, Sevgi; Toprak, Görkem; Özdemir, EkremThe effect of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) on the stability of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles was investigated with respect to the surface potential and particle size. Both CaCO3 and Ca(OH)2 were dissolved in ultrapure water at concentrations up to 100 mM. The solubility limits were about 18 mM for Ca(OH)2 and about 0.13 mM for CaCO3 at 23 °C in water. Dissolution of commercial CaCO3 in 10 mM of Ca(OH)2 solution and dissolution of Ca(OH)2 in 10 mM of CaCO3 slurry were also studied at similar conditions. Conductivity, pH, zeta potential, and average particle sizes were measured for each solution. The morphological characteristics of the particles were analyzed by the SEM images. It was found that the zeta potential of CaCO3 particles was greater than + 30 mV when they were placed in the Ca(OH)2 solution compared to a zeta potential value of - 10 mV in water. It was concluded that the Ca(OH)2 solution is a stabilizer for the CaCO3 particles.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 22Role of Ph on Co2 Sequestration in Coal Seams(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Özdemir, EkremThe effect of acidic or basic pre-treatment on the adsorption capacity of CO2 on coals was investigated. Argonne Premium Pocahontas No. 3, Upper Freeport, Pittsburgh No. 8, Lewiston-Stockton, Blind Canyon, Illinois No. 6, Wyodak, and Beulah-Zap coals were washed in weak solutions of H2SO4 and NaOH to the pH values of 10, 7, and 2, after an initial washing in acidic water. Attempts to treat the Wyodak and Beulah-Zap coals were unsuccessful because the base treatment after the initial acid treatment resulted in a suspension which could be separated neither via filtration through a 45 μm filter nor centrifugation. Equilibration took several days in some cases, although the as-received coal had been ground to 150 μm. Acid washing preferentially removed Ca (calcite) and Mg. Aluminosilicate clays were not notably removed. Iron was removed in significant amounts only after base treatment, possibly after it was converted to hematite. The adsorption capacity of CO2 on the acid treated coals was higher than both the base treated and untreated coals. The difference in adsorption capacities for acid and base treated coals was related to the pore sizes and mineral matter removal from the coals, where the calculated average pore size was higher for acid treated coals than for the base treated coals. It is concluded that the pH decrease due to CO2 dissolution in cleat water is favored in coal seam sequestration, which resulted in an increase in storage capacity of coals.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Rice-Like Hollow Nano-Caco3 Synthesis(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Ülkeryıldız, Eda; Kılıç, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremWe have shown that Ca(OH)2 solution is a natural stabilizer for CaCO3 particles. We designed a CO2 bubbling crystallization reactor to produce nano-CaCO3 particles in homogenous size distribution without aggregation. In the experimental set-up, the crystallization region was separated from the stabilization region. The produced nanoparticles were removed from the crystallization region into the stabilization region before aggregation or crystal growth. It was shown that rice-like hollow nano-CaCO3 particles in about 250 nm in size were produced with almost monodispersed size distribution. The particles started to dissolve through their edges as CO2 bubbles were injected, which opened-up the pores inside the particles. At the late stages of crystallization, the open pores were closed as a result of dissolution-recrystallization of the newly synthesized CaCO3 particles. These particles were stable in Ca(OH)2 solution and no aggregation was detected. The present methodology can be used in drug encapsulation into inorganic CaCO3 particles for cancer treatment with some modifications.Article Citation - WoS: 70Citation - Scopus: 80Modeling of Coal Bed Methane (cbm) Production and Co2 Sequestration in Coal Seams(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Özdemir, EkremA mathematical model was developed to predict the coal bed methane (CBM) production and carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in a coal seam accounting for the coal seam properties. The model predictions showed that, for a CBM production and dewatering process, the pressure could be reduced from 15.17 MPa to 1.56 MPa and the gas saturation increased up to 50% in 30 years for a 5.4 × 105 m2 of coal formation. For the CO2 sequestration process, the model prediction showed that the CO2 injection rate was first reduced and then slightly recovered over 3 to 13 years of injection, which was also evidenced by the actual in seam data. The model predictions indicated that the sweeping of the water in front of the CO2 flood in the cleat porosity could be important on the loss of injectivity. Further model predictions suggested that the injection rate of CO2 could be about 11 × 103 m3 per day; the injected CO2 would reach the production well, which was separated from the injection well by 826 m, in about 30 years. During this period, about 160 × 106 m3 of CO2 could be stored within a 21.4 × 105 m2 of coal seam with a thickness of 3 m.
