    Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Tannery Solid Waste: Optimum Leather Fleshing Waste Loading
    (2020) Bayrakdar, Alper
    In this study, loading of optimum leather fleshings was investigated with four identical batch reactors with different fleshings and treatment sludge ratios (0:1, 0.25:1, 0.35:1, 0.50:1) to contribute to the state of art of the biogas production from tannery solid wastes. Results showed that lipids-containing leather fleshings boosted the methane production potential. However, H2S inhibition and volatile fatty acids accumulation were the main concern in the anaerobic digestion of these wastes. The modified Gompertz model was applied to the batch tests data to determine the kinetic constants of anaerobic digestion of tannery solid wastes. It was calculated with the model outputs that the ultimate methane production potential and maximum methane production rate in reactors having mixing ratio of 0.35:1 and 0.5:1 (dry basis) were highly similar. 0.35 was found to be an optimum leather fleshing and treatment sludge ratio with a 54% more methane production potential than that of control reactor in this study.

    Arsenate Removal From Groundwater by Air-Injected Ec With Al Ball Anodes: Effects of Operational Parameters
    (Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2020) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Öncel, Mehmet Salim; Kobya, Mehmet
    Treatment of arsenate from groundwater by electrocoagulation (EC) reactor with air supply unit using Al ball electrodes were studied in this paper. Influence of some operating variables, for instance, applied current (0.075-0.3 A), initial pH (5.5-8.5), air flow rate (0-6 L/min), size of Al ball electrodes (5-10 mm), and height of electrode in EC reactor (2-8 cm) on the As(V) removal efficiency were evaluated. The As (V) removal efficiency increased with the increment of applied current, air flow, electrode altitude in EC reactor, and EC time while its removal efficiency decreased with the increment of size of Al ball electrodes. The maximum As(V) removal percentage, minimum operating cost and energy consumption were found as 98.68 %, 0.609 $/$m^3$ and 3.7694 kWh/$m^3$ at pH of 7.5, current density of 0.30 A, size of Al balls of 7.5 mm, height of electrode in EC of 5 c†m, and air flow rate of 6 L/min, respectively

    Color Removal From Yeast Production Industry Wastewater Using Photo-Fenton Process
    (Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2019) Baycan, Neva; Can, Begüm
    The yeast production industry wastewaters contains high amount of chemical oxygen demand (COD), brownish color and recalcitrant organic components. In this work, one of the yeast production plant wastewaters operating in the Aegean Region, the color removal were studied with using Photo-Fenton (H2O2/Fe(II)/UV) oxidation processes. In this study, the Box-Wilson statistical experimental design method applied to optimization of decolorisation of the yeast production industry wastewater. For this reason, the initial oxidant and catalyst concentrations and pH of water were chosen as the experimental parameters on decolorisation. Color removal was observed during the experimental studies. Complete color removal (E=100%) was achieved with the addition of 2400 mg/L H2O2 and 121 mg/L Fe(II) at 3.7 pH after 120 min. of exposure to the UV irradiation.

    Bleach-Containing Automatic Toilet-Bowl Cleaners as Sources of Vocs, Associated Indoor Air Concentrations and Carcinogenic Risk
    (Turkish National Committee for Air Pollution Research (TUNCAP), 2020) Ayrı, İlknur; Genişoğlu, Mesut; Gaygısız, Handan; Sofuoğlu, Aysun; Sofuoğlu, Sait Cemil
    Household cleaning products are sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Bleach containing products are a special case because reactions occur between chloride and their organic content such as surfactants, perfumes, etc., generating VOCs. This study aimed to determine concentration of 13 VOCs in bleach-containing automatic toilet cleaners, to estimate their indoor air concentrations and associated exposure and health risk levels. Experiments with products purchased from supermarkets were conducted in 20-mL headspace vials by placing 1 g of sample with and without water. Solid-phase micro extraction with a DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber assembly was used for adsorption of VOCs from the headspace, and analyzed using a GC-MS. The median carbon tetrachloride and chloroform concentrations of the studied products ranged from 5.03 × 10?3 to 2.37 × 10?2 ?g/g and 2.53 × 10?2 to 2.37 ?g/g, respectively. The modeled 95th percentile indoor air concentrations in a 1.6 m3 bathroom with no ventilation were estimated to be 1 and 20 ?g/m3 for carbon tetrachloride and chloroform, respectively. The 95th percentile carcinogenic risk associated even with the use of the highest content product, 3.72 × 10?7 and 8.62 × 10?7 for carbon tetrachloride and chloroform respectively, were below the acceptable risk. In conclusion, automatic toilet-bowl cleaners were found to be sources of VOCs, but their emission potentials are not high to cause considerable indoor air concentrations over their suggested product lifetime. In turn, carcinogenic risks associated with inhalation exposure are below the de Minimis risk level of 10?6. © 2020
