Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Box-Behnken Design for Hydrogen Evolution From Sugar Industry Wastewater Using Solar-Driven Hybrid Catalysts(American Chemical Society, 2022) Orak, Ceren; Yüksel, AslıHydrogen is a clean and green fuel and can be produced from renewable sources via photocatalysis. Solar-driven hybrid catalysts were synthesized and characterized (scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DSR)), and the results implied that graphene-supported LaRuO3is a more promising photocatalyst to produce hydrogen and was used to produce hydrogen from sugar industry wastewater. To investigate the main and interaction effects of reaction parameters (pH, catalyst amount, and [H2O2]0) on the evolved hydrogen amount, the Box-Behnken experimental design model was used. The highest hydrogen evolution obtained was 6773 μmol/gcatfrom sugar industry wastewater at pH 3, 0.15 g/L GLRO, and 15 mM H2O2. Based on the Pareto chart for the evolved hydrogen amount using GLRO, among the main effects, the only effective parameter was the catalyst amount for the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from sugar industry wastewater. In addition, the squares of pH and two-way interaction of pH and [H2O2]0were also statistically efficient over the evolved hydrogen amount.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5A Hybrid Process for 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid Herbicidal Treatment and Its Microbial Identification by Maldi-Tof Mass Spectrometry(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) Doğdu Okçu, Gamze; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Yalçuk, ArdaThe feasibility of coupling photocatalysis and a biological treatment to remove a herbicide–2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D)–from pure water was examined using batch experiments following three protocols: aerated (A-BR) and non-aerated biodegradation (NA-BR) alone, and intimately combined photodegradation and biodegradation (P-B). In view of a subsequent biological treatment, 15 and 180 min irradiation times were chosen in accordance with spectrophotometric and LC-MS/MS results that indicated the decrease in the COD/TOC ratio during photocatalysis. Pre-treatment led to a quick decrease in concentration of 2,4-D and COD during the biological process: a 78.79 ± 0.30% COD removal and 38.23 ± 3.12% 2,4-D elimination was measured after 5760 min in A-BR, and 80.89 ± 0.81% COD and 81.36 ± 1.37% 2,4-D removal was achieved after 2880 min in P-B. For species identification using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-time of flight (TOF)-TOF/MS equipment, Aeromonas eucrenophila, Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila, Ralstonia pickettii, Sphingobacterium multivorum and Acinetobacter towneri were identified with high accuracy, and they play important roles in the degradation of 2,4-D.
