    Uçucu kül ve doğal zeolitin beraber kullanılarak borun atık sulardan uzaklaştırılması
    (2008) Polat, Hürriyet; Polat, Mehmet; Şekeroğlu, Koray
    Bu proje kapsamında, Yeniköy, Kemerköy, Soma ve Yatağan termik santrallerinden alınan uçucu küllerin, sıcaklık, katı / sıvı oranı ve başlangıç konsantrasyonu gibi parametler kullanılarak bor adsorpsiyon kapasiteleri incelenmiştir. Bor adsorpsiyon deneyleri laboratuvarda hazırlanan simültane sular (10, 25, 50, 100 ve 300 ppm Bor) ve Kızıldere (Denizli) jeotermal tesislerinden (25-30 ppm Bor) alınan borlu sularla yapılmıştır. Yapılan “batch” deneylere dayanarak, uçucu küllerin boru adsopladığı ve özellikle yüzey alanı en geniş olan Yeniköy külü yeterli zaman ve yüzey alanı sağlandığında %99 ‘a varan adsorpsiyon miktarına ulaştığı gözlenmiştir. Tüm küllerin deney sonuçları tek katmanlı adsorpsiyonu belirten “Langmuir” izotermine ve Kaydırılmış İkinci Mertebe parametresine daha uygun olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan sıcaklık çalışmalarında, Yeniköy ve Kemerköy külleriyle 25o C, 45o C ve 65o C koşullarında yapılan deneylerin verileri kullanılarak, o ΔH ,o ΔG , o ΔS değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Sıcaklıkla azalan adsorpsiyon kapasitesi ve negatif o ΔH değerleri, ekzotermik adsorpsiyon olduğunu belirtmektedir. Aynı zamanda -40,0 kJ / mol’ün altında çıkan (-52,89 ve -48,55 kJ / mol) entalpi ( o ΔH ) değerleri kimyasal adsorpsiyon olduğunu belirtmektedir. Soma ve Yatağan külleri için de Langmuir izotermlerinin uygun olması kimyasal bir adsorpsiyon olduğunu önermektedir.

    Toz Kömürlerin Zenginleştirilmesinde Yağ Aglomerasyonu Yöntemi ve Yenilikler
    (İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2010) Kılınç Aksay, Ece; Arslan, Vedat; Polat, Hürriyet
    Kömürün üretim teknolojisindeki gelişmeler, kömür üretimi sürecinde oluşan ince boyutlu (toz) kömürün miktarını arttırmaktadır. Bu tür toz kömürlerin zenginleştirilerek değerlendirilmesi, hem madencilik maliyetini azaltmakta, hem de önemli bir çevre problemini ortadan kaldırmaktadır. Ayrıca eneıjiye olan gereksinim, her geçen gün teknolojinin ilerlemesiyle doğru orantılı olarak artmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, çevre problemi yaratan sınırlı enerji kaynaklarının, çevre dostu yöntemlerle değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Yağ aglomerasyonu yöntemi, bu yöntemlerden biridir. Özellikle çok ince boyutlu kömür tanelerinin kazanılmasında flotasyona alternatif bir yöntemdir. Bu yöntem, yüksek devirli karıştırıcılar kullanılarak, kömür tanelerinin yağ tarafından ıslatılması ve birbirlerine bağlanarak iri taneler haline getirilmesi prensibine dayanır. Yağın, kömür-su sistemine verilmeden önce, su içerisinde gerek mekanik karıştırma ile gerekse çeşitli yüzey aktif reaktiflerin kullanımı ile emülsiye edilmesi (dağıtılması) veya kömür yüzeyinin yine çeşitli yüzey aktif reaktiflerle hava/yağ sever özellik kazandırılması, yöntemin başarısını hem teknik hem de ekonomik yönden arttırmaktadır. Yağ aglomerasyonu yöntemindeki bu yenilikler, günümüzde linyit gibi düşük kaliteli kömürlerin bile, bu yöntem ile başarıyla zenginleştirilebilmesine olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu makalede, yağ aglomerasyonu yönteminin temel prensipleri, yöntemi etkileyen parametreler ve farklı tip kömürler için yöntemin uygulamasına yönelik araştırmalar detaylı olarak açıklanmış, yöntem ile ilgili yenilikler tartışılmıştır.

    Recent Advances in Chitosan-Based Systems for Delivery of Anticancer Drugs
    (Springer, 2020) Polat, Mehmet; Polat, Hürriyet
    Problems in transporting drug molecules to tumor sites in required dose or constitution lead to low efficacy and significant side effects. Shielding the drug molecules in micelles, liposomes, or nanoparticles is a major line of investigation to improve chemotherapeutic treatment. Though compatibility for proper envelopment of the drug and timely release at the tumor site are required of such a carrier, protecting its own physicochemical and morphological integrity during transport is another precondition. Because of its superior polymerization capability, biocompatibility, pH dependence, and charging characteristics, chitosan has been in the forefront of potential drug carriers. Numerous synthesis routes for chitosan-based nanocarriers have been suggested to the extent that a search of the literature published since 2000 with the keywords “novel + nano + chitosan” in the title results in 527 articles, indicating the bewildering quality and quantity of the new information. This review was carried out not only to peruse this large amount of work on chitosan-based anticancer drug delivery but also to extract manageable patterns from numerous synthesis routes. The main conclusion is that the synthesis methods suggested in literature can be combined into two main routes, and the degree of hydrophobicity of the drug determines which route should be followed. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019.

    Analysis of Dilution Induced Disintegration of Micellar Drug Carriers in the Presence of Inter and Intra Micellar Species
    (Elsevier, 2020) Polat, Hürriyet; Kutluay, Gülistan; Polat, Mehmet
    Micelles of self-assembling polymeric surfactant molecules are promising nanoscopic carriers for lipophilic and toxic drugs, genes, and imaging molecules. Though it is a must for successful transport, ensuring micelle integrity is a challenge during intravenous injection where micelles must endure abrupt dilutional effects and encounters with native molecules. Therefore, direct observational evidence of how micelles behave during dilution is valuable in manipulating the designs of these carriers for a succesful drug delivery. Morphology and stability of the barren and a drug-loaded (lipophilic probucol) micelles of a polymeric surfactant (Pluronic® P123) were monitored during systematic re-dilution in distilled water and simulated body fluid in the presence of a model protein (bovine serum albumin). It was observed through surface tension, dynamic light scattering, laser velocimetry, transmission scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy analyses that the micelles disintegrated to various degrees in all cases upon dilution. The results indicate that dilution effects must be taken into account in designing micellar drug carriers. The assistance of some other means of protection such as encapsulation should be considered for ensuring micelle integrity within the bloodstream. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

    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).

    Designing of Spherical Chitosan Nano-Shells With Micellar Cores for Solvation and Safeguarded Delivery of Strongly Lipophilic Drugs
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Cihan, Esra; Polat, Mehmet; Polat, Hürriyet
    Chitosan is a very effective biopolymer for drug delivery purposes due to its biocompatibility, positive charge and exceptionally pH sensitive degradability behavior in an aqueous medium. Nevertheless, its inability for dissolving lipophilic drug active material and the difficulties in controlling the size and shape of the synthesized particles in nanometer range are critical drawbacks in its effective use. In this study, a synthesis procedure which addresses both issues simultaneously is presented. The procedure is based on initial dissolution of lipophilic drug molecules within the hydrophobic cores of the micelles of a bio-compatible block-copolymer by ionic gelation and subsequent formation of a chitosan shell by polymerization around the micellar structures. Well-formed, hollow and perfectly spherical chitosan particles (nano-shells) in the 30–300 nm size range could be successfully manufactured. Characterization by STEM, TEM, AFM, FTIR and DLS, DLS-LDV techniques showed clearly that the drug was successfully incorporated into the chitosan structure. It was demonstrated that the particles enveloped the micelle(s) of a Pluronic copolymer (P-123) whose hydrophobic cores contained a strongly hydrophobic drug Probucol. The chitosan nano-shells are expected to act as an agent protecting the integrity of the drug-loaded micelles in the body fluid while providing a pH sensitive release medium. The drug uptake by the chitosan particles was very high. A very sharp increase in the amount of the drug released with a slight change in the acidity of the medium was an indication of the potential of the manufactured chitosan nano-shells as pH sensitive, target specific delivery vehicles for drug release.

    Ancillary Effects of Surfactants on Filtration of Low Molecular Weight Contaminants Through Cellulose Nitrate Membrane Filters
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Olcay, Aybike Nil; Polat, Mehmet; Polat, Hürriyet
    Removal of contaminants with low molecular weight (<800 Dalton) requires the use of advanced separation techniques such as ultrafiltration (UF) or micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF). However, surface active agents invariably co-exist in waste waters along with these contaminants or they may be added intentionally as part of the separation process as in the case of MEUF. Though it is quite likely that both the filter medium and the contaminants would interact with the surfactant molecules or their micelles, there is not sufficient emphasis in the literature on the concomitant aspects of such interactions.The ancillary effects created by anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), cationic (hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, CTAB) and non-ionic (ethoxylated octylphenol, TX-100) surfactants on the mechanism and efficiency of the filtration process were investigated in this study. Methylene blue (MB) and cellulose nitrate membrane (CNM) filters were employed as model retentate and the separation medium. A combination of surface tension, contact angle and charge measurements demonstrated that the addition of surfactants had a remarkable effect on the filtration outcome. The effect depended on both the type and concentration of the surfactant and was manifested mainly through the creation of MB-surfactant entities which acted differently than the MB alone; but more importantly, through the interactions of the surfactant molecules/micelles and the MB-surfactant pairs with the separation membrane.

    Physicochemical Characterization of Chitosan Extracted From Metapenaeus Stebbingi Shells
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Küçükgülmez, Aygül; Çelik, Mehmet; Yanar, Yasemen; Şen, Didem; Polat, Hürriyet; Kadak, Ali Eslem
    In this study, chitosan was extracted from Metapenaeus stebbingi shells. In order to determine physicochemical characteristics of the extracted chitosan, the yield, moisture and ash contents, degree of deacetylation, molecular weight, water and fat binding capacities, apparent viscosity and colour properties were measured using a variety of techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. In addition, the physicochemical characteristics of the chitosan extracted from M. stebbingi shells were compared to commercial chitosan. The degree of deacetylation was calculated by the titration method and elemental analysis. The molecular weight was determined by viscosimetric methods. The results of the study indicate that shrimp shells are a rich source of chitosan as 17.48% of the shell's dry weight is consisted of this material. Extracted chitosan exhibited a lower molecular weight, higher degree of deacetylation, higher viscosity and higher water and fat binding capacities compared to the commercial chitosan.
