Article Mini modular plant design for ethylene production using Martian atmosphere on Mars(Elsevier, 2024) Deliismail, Özgün; Şeker, ErolA main shift in the competitive landscape of technology development is in 3D printing of complex articles made of variety of materials due to faster manufacturing and less human error in the production. In fact, it seems to be a viable candidate for the construction of structures for terrestrial and extraterrestrial life in future. Thus, new or damaged equipment in space explorations could be replaced instantly, and habitats could be manufactured using 3D printing in varying gravitational fields in the solar system. Among 3D printing materials, HDPE is commonly used in the projects, such as a prototype manufacturing or pipes or damp-proof membrane. This study initially focused on the preliminary design of the self-sustaining mini ethylene production plant from Martian atmosphere with scale-out architecture. UniSIM® was integrated with MATLAB® via CAPE-OPEN extension to design mini-ethylene production plant at low gravity. Ethylene capacity was found as 17.71 tons/year for 100 modules. © 2023 COSPARArticle Citation - Scopus: 8Biofuel Production From Nannochloropsis Oculata Microalgae in Seawater Without Harvesting and Dewatering Over Alumina-Silicate Supported Nickel Catalysts(Elsevier, 2018) Deliismail, Özgün; Özdoğru, Bertan; Şeker, ErolThe aim of this work was to study the production of biofuels from marine Nannochloropsis oculata without harvesting and dewatering over the single step sol-gel made alumina-silicate supported nickel catalysts at 80 °C and 1.0 atm. Sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid were used in the sol-gel to study the effect of acid type on catalyst activities. The catalyst made using sulfuric acid resulted in 74% microalgae conversion as compared to the catalysts made with other acids. Treatment of this catalyst with ~35 g of NaCl per kg of water at 80 °C and 1.0 atm for 24 h increased microalgae conversion to 91.5% under the same reaction condition and the bio-fuels ranging from mono/polysaccharides, polyols to esters and fatty acids were produced. This study showed that nickel and 25.1 ?mol/g of total acidity and acidic strength having 130–380 °C of temperature range was necessary to achieve 91.5% conversion. © 2018 Elsevier LtdConference Object Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 22Propylene Epoxidation: High-Throughput Screening of Supported Metal Catalysts Combinatorially Prepared by Rapid Sol-Gel Method(Springer Verlag, 2010) Önal, Işık; Düzenli, Derya; Seubsai, Anusorn; Kahn, Michael; Şeker, Erol; Senkan, Selim M.The gas phase oxidation of propylene using molecular oxygen was studied on a variety of supported metal catalysts. The most promising PO activity was obtained for Cu supported on high surface area SiO 2 and the multimetallic systems exhibit synergistic effects that increased the desired PO yield by several folds for Ag promoted with Cu on SiO 2 after screening a large number of catalysts by a high throughput testing technique. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
