    Tannery Wastewater Sediments Produced by Clinoptiolite/Polyacrylamide-aided Flocculation as a Clay Additive in Brick Making
    (Springer Verlag, 2017) Köseoğlu, Kemal; Cengizler, H.; İsrail, L. İ.; Polat, Hürriyet
    Toxic tannery wastewater(s) (TWW) pose(s) a great risk to the environment. This study explores the potential of mitigating the harmful effects of TWW through sedimentation using clinoptiolite in the presence of various anionic, cationic and non-ionic flocculants with different molecular weights and charge densities followed by encapsulation in a brick structure for stability. Compressive strength (CS), size reduction after firing (SRAF), water absorption (WA) and colouring parameters of bricks were determined. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses were conducted on brick bodies. Kinetic leaching experiments were conducted for possible heavy metal release from the bricks. Bricks containing 10 wt% leather waste and 5 wt% clinoptiolite sintered at 800 °C instead of 920 °C possessed similar properties to the standard brick (SB).

    Electrostatic Charge on Spray Droplets of Aqueous Surfactant Solutions
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2000) Polat, Mehmet; Polat, Hürriyet; Chander, Subhash
    Electrostatic charges on individual spray droplets were measured using a refined form of the Millikan oil drop method. The measurement system consisted of three main sections; a droplet generation cell, a settling column and a charge measurement chamber. The trajectories required for calculation of charge were determined using a high-speed motion analyzer coupled to a long-focal-length microscope. Charges on droplets were manipulated by the addition of surface-active agents into the spray solution. Droplet charge was a function of the type and concentration of the surfactant added. For ionic surfactants, it showed a maximum at low surfactant concentrations, decreased with further surfactant addition and was constant after the CMC. The charge on cationic surfactants was always more than that observed with the anionic surfactants. Nonionic surfactants displayed a steady increase in droplet charge with increasing concentration. The charges were lower compared to the ionic surfactants. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
