Research Project Uçucu kül ve doğal zeolitin beraber kullanılarak borun atık sulardan uzaklaştırılması(2008) Polat, Hürriyet; Polat, Mehmet; Şekeroğlu, KorayBu 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.Article Solunabilir Tozun Su Spreyleri Kullanılarak Bastırılmasında Son Gelişmeler(2000) Polat, Hürriyet; Polat, Mehmet; Gürgen, SabitTürkiye'de görülen meslek hastalıklarının çoğunu tozun solunmasından kaynaklanan pnömokonyoz oluşturmaktadır.

Balkema Publishers, 2000) Polat, Hürriyet; Polat, Mehmet; İpekoğlu, ÜnerEffect of some chemical and physical variables on the settling rate, final sediment height, sediment viscosity and supernatant turbidity of a clay sample was studied using various polyacrylamide type flocculants. Increasing flocculant concentration significantly increased both the settling rate and sediment viscosity. More importantly, changes in the final sediment, height, hence the packing density, was minimal for all the conditions tested once the sediment was allowed to consolidate. Also, the mode of addition of the polymer, at once or continuous, did not seem to affect any of the parameters measured. Conditioning time seemed to alter the settling rate at low polymer concentrations, but had no effect at high polymer concentrations. However, increasing the conditioning time caused a decrease in the sediment viscosity. Different types of the polyacrylimides generated different settling rates at a given concentration, but the final sediment height was nearly independent of polymer type.Conference Object Use of Ion Flotation To Remove Copper From Waste Waters(2006) Erdoğan, Demet; Polat, Hürriyet; İpekoğlu, ÜnerFlotation studies were carried out to investigate the removal of copper from wastewaters. Various parameters such as pH, surfactant and frother concentrations and airflow rate were tested to determine the optimum flotation conditions. Sodium dodecyl sulfate and Hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide were used as collectors. Recoveries as high as 90% could be to obtained under optimum conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 2Reduction of Carbon Dioxide During the Synthesis of Metal Nano-Particles in Water(Elsevier Ltd., 2003) Polat, Hürriyet; Cohen, H; Meyerstein, D; Rusonik, I.An effort was made to synthesize "carbon-free" metal (Fe-0, Co-0, Ni-0) nano-particles via the reduction of their salts with BH4- in aqueous solutions. Surprisingly it was found that when the synthesis is carried out in the presence of CO2, e.g., in aerated solutions, the CO2 is catalytically reduced by BH(4)(-)on the surface of the metal particles. Carbon-free metals can be prepared by reduction under an inert atmosphere. Thus metal surfaces might have acted as catalysts for CO2 fixation, probably via the initial formation of carbon clusters, in the reductive atmosphere in the prebiotic era. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

A commercial dental ceramic powder, IPS Empress 2 veneer, was used as the raw material. The magnitudes of the particle-particle interactions were computed by the DLVO theory for the ceramic slurries of different electrolyte solutions (0.1 M, 0.25 M, 0.5 M, 0.75 M, 1 M NaCl and CaCl2). As expected, the energies of particle-particle interactions were influenced significantly by the presence of electrolytes. These computations demonstrated that addition of electrolytes leads to a progressive depression of the repulsive double layer forces. The absence of these forces should inevitably lead to agglomeration caused by the ever-present van der Waals forces. The rheological measurements carried out using the slurries with same solution properties supported the findings of the DLVO computations. It was found that dental ceramic slurries showed a Newtonian behavior in the absence of electrolytes, which is indicative of little or no agglomeration in the slurry. On the other hand, the same slurries displayed a non-Newtonian, shear thinning behavior in the presence of electrolytes which can be attributed to agglomeration or gelation. Roughness of the ceramic surfaces produced from these slurries was studied by SEM analysis and profilometer measurements. Contact angle studies were also carried out on the same surfaces. It was observed that the surface became rougher initially with electrolyte addition to a maximum, most probably due to formation of isolated agglomerates due to a reduction of the repulsive double layer forces. After reaching a maximum, surface roughness decreased to a much lower value with further increase in electrolyte concentration. This was most probably caused by the formation of a relatively homogeneous, gel-like structure within the extensively agglomerated slurry due to a complete collapse of the double layer.Article Citation - WoS: 98Citation - Scopus: 108Capacity and Mechanism of Phenol Adsorption on Lignite(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Polat, Hürriyet; Molva, Murat; Polat, MehmetA raw lignitic coal from Soma, Turkey was investigated to determine its potential as an adsorbent for phenol removal from wastewaters. Kinetic batch tests demonstrated that phenol could be completely removed from solution given sufficient solids loading and reaction time. The adsorption capacity of 10 mg/g obtained with the lignite is low compared to those achievable with activated carbons (around 300 mg/g). However, when normalized for the surface area, the adsorption capacity was much larger for the lignite (1.3 mg/m2) than that generally observed with activated carbons (0.05-0.3 mg/m2). Hydrogen-bonding of the phenolic -OH with the oxygen sites on the lignite surface is the most likely mechanism for adsorption. Though water molecules also have affinity for the same oxygen sites, lateral benzene ring interactions make phenol adsorption energetically more favorable. Since phenol molecules adsorbed in this fashion would project their benzene rings into solution, formation of a second layer through the action of the dispersive π-π interactions between the benzene rings is very likely. Residual water quality with respect to major elements and heavy metals was within acceptable limits defined by the ASTM standards. Dissolution of organic matter from the lignite was also observed to be negligible.Article Citation - WoS: 57Citation - Scopus: 62Effect of Various Treatment and Glazing (coating) Techniques on the Roughness and Wettability of Ceramic Dental Restorative Surfaces(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Aksoy, Gökhan; Polat, Hürriyet; Polat, Mehmet; Çoşkun, G.Surface treatment procedures such as grinding and polishing are needed to provide the ceramic dental restorative materials with proper fitting and occlusion. The treated surfaces are customarily glazed to improve the strength and smoothness. Though smoothness and wetting of the dental surfaces are important to minimize bacterial plaque retention, influence of the surface treatment and glazing procedures on the final surface roughness and its correlation to wettability are overlooked. In this work, effect of various treatment (diamond fraising, stoning, sanding and aluminum oxide and rubber polishing) and glazing (auto and overglazing) techniques on the final roughness and the resulting wettability of dental ceramic surfaces were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations and atomic force microscopy (AFM) scans, 75 scans per sample. The surfaces were characterized and assigned an average roughness measure, Ra. The wettability of the same surfaces was evaluated using micro-contact angle measurements (25 micro-bubbles placed on a grid on each surface) to correlate the final surface roughness and wettability. The results show that overglazing prevails over surface irregularities from different treatment procedures and provides homegeneously smooth surfaces with mean Ra < 10 nm. It also produces uniformly wetted surfaces with low contact angles around 20°. The autoglazed surfaces are less smooth (mean Ra around 50 nm) and displays sporadic topographic irregularities. They display larger and less uniform contact angles ranging between 35° and 50°. The results suggest that overglazing should be preferred after surface treatment to obtain a smooth and well-wetted dental ceramic surface.Article Citation - WoS: 259Citation - Scopus: 284Heavy Metal Removal From Waste Waters by Ion Flotation(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Polat, Hürriyet; Erdoğan, D.Flotation studies were carried out to investigate the removal of heavy metals such as copper (II), zinc (II), chromium (III) and silver (I) from waste waters. Various parameters such as pH, collector and frother concentrations and airflow rate were tested to determine the optimum flotation conditions. Sodium dodecyl sulfate and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide were used as collectors. Ethanol and methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) were used as frothers. Metal removal reached about 74% under optimum conditions at low pH. At basic pH it became as high as 90%, probably due to the contribution from the flotation of metal precipitates.Article Citation - WoS: 123Citation - Scopus: 131A New Methodology for Removal of Boron From Water by Coal and Fly Ash(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Polat, Hürriyet; Vengosh, Avner; Pankratov, Irena; Polat, MehmetHigh levels of boron concentrations in water present a serious problem for domestic and agriculture utilizations. The recent EU drinking water directive defines an upper limit of 1 mgB/I. In addition, most crops are sensitive to boron levels >0.75 mg/1 in irrigation water. The boron problem is magnified by the partial (∼60%) removal of boron in reverse osmosis (RO) desalination due to the poor ionization of boric acid and the accumulation of boron in domestic sewage effluents. Moreover, high levels of boron are found in regional groundwater in some Mediterranean countries, which requires special treatment in order to meet the EU drinking water regulations. Previous attempts to remove boron employed boron-specific ion-exchange resin and several cycles of RO desalination under high pH conditions. Here, we present an alternative methodology for boron removal by using coal and fly ash as adsorbents. We conducted various column and batch experiments that explored the efficiency of boron removal from seawater and desalinated seawater using several types of coal and fly ash materials under controlled conditions (pH, liquid/solid ratio, time of reaction, pre-treatment, regeneration). We examined the effect of these factors on the boron removal capacity and the overall chemical composition of the residual seawater. The results show that the selected coal and fly ash materials are very effective in removing boron such that the rejection ratio of boron can reach 95% of the initial boron content under certain optimal conditions (e.g., pH = 9, L/S = 1/10, reaction time > 6 h). Our experiments demonstrated that use of glycerin enables regeneration of boron uptake into coal, but the boron uptake capacity of fly ash reduces after several cycles of treatment-reaction. The boron removal is associated with Mg depletion and Ca enrichment in the residual seawater and conversely with relative Mg enrichment and Ca depletion in the residual fly ash. We propose that the reaction of Ca-rich fly ash with Mg-rich seawater causes co-precipitation of magnesium hydroxide in which boron is co-precipitated. The new methodology might provide an alternative technique for boron removal in areas where coal and fly ash are abundant.
