    Photocatalytic Hydrogen Energy Evolution From Sugar Beet Wastewater
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2021) Orak, Ceren; Yüksel, Aslı
    Hydrogen is a clean, environmentally friendly, storable, and sustainable green energy source as well as a potential fuel. It could be produced from various biomass, wastewater, or other sources by different processes. In this study, hydrogen was evolved from sucrose model solution and real sugar beet wastewater by photocatalytic oxidation using a perovskite catalyst under solar light irradiation. In this context, firstly, the graphene supported LaFeO3 (GLFO) was synthesized and then, a characterization study shows that GLFO is successfully synthesized. To optimize the reaction parameters (pH, catalyst loading, and initial hydrogen peroxide concentration), an experimental matrix was created using the Box Behnken model. Whereas the highest hydrogen evolution from sucrose model solution was observed as 3520 μmol/gcat, the highest hydrogen evolution from sugar beet wastewater was obtained as 7035 μmol/gcat. The highest TOC removal (99.73 %) from sugar beet wastewater was also achieved at the same reaction conditions.

    Reaction of Methyl Radicals With Metal Powders Immersed in Aqueous Solutions
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2003) Rusonik,I.; Polat,H.; Cohen,H.; Meyerstein,D.
    Methyl radicals radiolytically produced in aqueous solutions react efficiently with Cr0, Mn0, Fe0, Ni 0, Cu0 and Zn0 powders immersed in the solution. The Cr0, Mn0, Fe0, Ni0 and Zn0 powders reduce the radicals to form methane. On the other hand the Cu0 powder seems to oxidize the radicals. Surprisingly a part of the energy absorbed by the Cr0, Fe0, Ni 0 and Zn0 powders is transferred to the aqueous solution, thus increasing the radical yield. CH4, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6 and C3H 8 are formed when an aqueous deaerated buffer solution, pH 4-5, is added to powders of analytical iron, zinc, manganese and chromium. The source of these gases is carbon traces present, as atoms or atom clusters, in the "analytical" metal powders. These carbon atoms, when present on the surface of the metals, are reduced by the metal particles in aqueous solutions. This mechanism might be the source of light alkanes and alkenes in the prebiotic era. © Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003.
