    A Study of Adsorption of Water Vapour on Wool Under Static and Dynamic Conditions
    (Springer Verlag, 1998) Ülkü, Semra; Balköse, Devrim; Çağa, Tayfun; Özkan, Fehime; Ulutan, Sevgi
    Adsorption of water vapour on wool provides not only textile comfort, but also convenience in transportation due to increase in its bulk density. The adsorption and desorption isotherms of water vapour for wool were determined by both volumetric technique using a Coulter Omnisorp 100CX instrument and gravimetric method employing a Cahn 2000 electronic microbalance. Adsorption isotherm fitting to B.E.T. model and hysteresis on desorption was observed. The average effective diffusion coefficient of water in wool was found to be 8.4 × 10-14 m2 s-1 at 25°C from gravimetric data. The effects of packing height and air velocity on the breakthrough curves were also investigated in the wool packed columns. For pseudo first order model, k values changing between 0.33 × 10-6 -69 × 10-6 s-1 was obtained for 2.2-6.4 cm s-1 air velocity and 0.05-0.20 m packing height ranges.

    Use of Clinoptilolite in Ethanol Dehydration
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 1996) Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Ülkü, Semra
    Clinoptilolite-type natural zeolite, which exists in various regions of Turkey, has been experimentally studied. For the ethanol-water-local clinoptilolite system, uptake and breakthrough curves were determined under a nitrogen gas atmosphere. In adsorption kinetics and adsorption equilibrium studies, the effects of particle size, temperature and, amount of zeolite on the uptake rate have been investigated. The breakthrough curves for four different flow rates of ethanol and three different bed heights were determined in dynamic column studies. The results of the experiments show that intraparticle diffusion is the main resistance. The local clinoptilolite is a promising adsorbent for water adsorption from aqueous ethanol.
