Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 25Processing of Polymers With Supercritical Fluids(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 1999) Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Duda, John LarryThe removal of impurities, such as residual solvents, unreacted monomers, catalysts, and side-reaction products from polymers represents an important step in polymer processing. Conventional devolatilization techniques for the purification of polymers have limited effectiveness. Devolatilization with supercritical fluids, however, can enhance impurity removal by increasing the thermodynamic driving force and molecular diffusivity.Article Citation - WoS: 19Flexible Poly(vinyl Chloride)-Zeolite Composites for Dye Adsorption From Aqueous Solutions(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 1996) Balköse, Devrim; Ulutan, Sevgi; Çakıcıoğlu Özkan, Seher Fehime; Ülkü, Semra; Köktürk, UğurFlexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) composites having natural zeolite clinoptillolite were prepared by plastisol-plastigel technology. Adsoption of methylene blue on each raw material and on composites was studied both from an equilibrium and a rate approach. It was observed that the adsorption capacity of zeolite decreased when it was embedded in composites. The equilibrium uptake of methylene blue increased with an increasing zeolite fraction in composites. Methylene blue was adsorbed from a 0.02 g·cm-3 aqueous solution slowly, but was nearly adsorbed completely with a composite having a 0.3 volume fraction of zeolite. The effective diffusion coefficient of methylene blue in composites was of the order of 10-13 m2·s-1 and decreased with increasing filler fraction.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Use of Clinoptilolite in Ethanol Dehydration(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 1996) Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Ülkü, SemraClinoptilolite-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.
