    Box-Behnken Design for Hydrogen Evolution From Sugar Industry Wastewater Using Solar-Driven Hybrid Catalysts
    (American Chemical Society, 2022) Orak, Ceren; Yüksel, Aslı
    Hydrogen 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.

    Adsorption Characteristics of Lead-, Barium- and Hydrogen-Rich Clinoptilolite Mineral
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2003) Çakıcıoğlu Özkan, Seher Fehime; Ülkü, Semra
    The carbon dioxide and water vapour adsorption properties of local clinoptilolite-rich material, both as the original and as lead-, barium- and hydrogen-rich forms, were examined. The lead- and barium-rich forms were prepared by treatment of the original clinoptilolite with Pb(NO3)2 and BaCl2 respectively, while the hydrogen-rich form was prepared by NH4Cl and heat treatment. Water and CO2 adsorption experiments were conducted in a volumetric system under static conditions, with low-pressure adsorption data being used for the characterization of the natural, Pb-rich, Ba-rich and H-rich clinoptilolite samples. Although the existence of barium-exchange was not noted, an appreciable decrease in CO2 adsorption was observed with the Pb-rich and H-rich forms due to a decrease in the electrostatic interaction between the surface and the adsorbate. Application of the Dubinin-Astakhov equation to the water adsorption data established the existence of micropores of different sizes that exhibited different adsorption mechanisms.

    Effect of Pretreatment on the Performance of Metal-Contaminated Fluid Catalytic Cracking (fcc) Catalysts
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Bayraktar, Oğuz; Kugler, Edwin L.
    Effects of both hydrogen and methane pretreatment on the performance of metal-contaminated equilibrium fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts from a refinery were investigated. Both hydrogen and methane pretreatment at 700°C were proven to be advantageous since the yields of hydrogen and coke from sour imported gas oil (SIHGO) cracking decrease while light cycle oil (LCO) and gasoline yields increase. The catalysts pretreated with hydrogen have shown slightly better improvement than the catalysts pretreated with methane. The decrease in the yields of hydrogen and coke was attributed to decrease in the dehydrogenation activity of vanadium oxides, which are present at high concentrations on the equilibrium FCC catalysts. This decrease in dehydrogenation activity after the pretreatment was also confirmed by low hydrogen-to-methane ratio. It was found that reduced vanadium has lower dehydrogenation activity since it produces less coke and hydrogen compared to oxidized vanadium. Hydrogen transfer reactions were evaluated by measuring C4 paraffin-to-C4 olefin ratios. Hydrogen transfer reactions decreased with increasing metal concentration. Both hydrogen and methane pretreatment caused the hydrogen transfer reactions to increase. Improved hydrogen transfer reactions caused an increase in the gasoline range products.
