Master Thesis Development of Dense Ceramic Tiles From Mixtures of Alumina Powders With Different Psd(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Sütçü, Mücahit; Akkurt, Sedat; Akkurt, SedatIn Turkey, domestic alumina powders are generally used as an intermediate product in metallic aluminum production. Recently, its usage as a raw material for technical applications in ceramic industry has gained importance. The properties of domestic powders must be improved in order to be used in technical ceramic applications. Because these powders have coarse particle size with a high amount of sodium oxide as well as incomplete transformation to stable form. Therefore, sodium oxide that has been physically and chemically bound to aluminum oxide during Bayer process must be removed. In this study, sodium oxide (Na2O) content of the domestic powders was decreased to desirable levels (<0.15% Na2O) by hot washing treatments. These powders were calcined to transform into stable alpha form. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) was preformed to analyze the calcined and as-received powders. Chemical analyses of the powders were done using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). Domestic powders were ground. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was performed to analyze the morphology and particle size distributions of as-received and ground powders. Particle size distributions (PSD) were plotted using lineal intercept method. In this study, it was aimed to provide maximum packing by blending the powders in different combinations (binary and ternary powder blends). In addition to this, dense ceramic tiles were produced by blending different proportions of the powders that provide maximum packing. In this study, the improved domestic (coarse size-SKA and medium size-SEA) and superground (Alcoa CT3000SG) alumina powders with three different particle size distributions were used. The packing of binary (SEA-CT3000SG) and ternary (SKA-SEA-CT3000SG) blends were predicted by using the softwares, MXENTRY® and MIX10®. These softwares utilized the Dinger-Funk (DF) equation for predictions of packing. Prepared blends were uniaxially dry-pressed and sintered. Archimedes method was used to measure the density and porosity of the pellets. All results showed that the blend contained 100% superground alumina powders achieved almost full density (98%) at 1550C. The binary and ternary blends that contained a relatively higher proportion of fine alumina powders provided higher fired densities. In binary blends, if the proportion of SEA was up to 50%, porosity values of these blends increased. Also the effects of additives such as TiO2 and MnO2 on densification and mechanical properties of pellets were investigated. The additives provided higher fired densities between 91 and 99%. Vickers hardness tests were conducted to determine mechanical properties of the sintered pellets. The samples that contained relatively higher proportions of fine particles provided higher hardness values in a range of 1500 and 2100 kg.mm-2. Also, microstructural characterization of the pellets was done using SEM. Finally, the tiles at desired dimensions were produced based on the blends that give the highest density and hardness values. Porosity and density measurements, microstructural and mechanical characterizations of the tiles were carried out.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Prediction of the Slag Corrosion of Mgo-C Ladle Refractories by the Use of Artificial Neural Networks(Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Akkurt, SedatA multilayer feed-forward back-propagation learning algorithm was employed as an artificial neural network (ANN) tool to create a model to predict the corrosion of MgO-C ladle refractory bricks based on laboratory slag corrosion test data. The corrosion process occurred by immersion of the rectangular refractory specimens in molten slag-steel bath. An ANN model to predict the amount of corrosion was created by using the training data. The model was also tested with experimentally measured data and relatively low error levels were achieved. This model was then used to predict the response of the slag-corrosion system to different values of the factors affecting the corrosion of bricks at high temperatures. Exposure time, exposure temperature of slag-brick contact and CaO/SiO2 ratio of the slag were the factors used for modelling. Model results provided the potential for selection of the best conditions for avoiding the factor combinations that may accelerate corrosion.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 6Genetic Algorithm-Artificial Neural Network Model for the Prediction of Germanium Recovery From Zinc Plant Residues(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2002) Akkurt, Sedat; Özdemir, Serhan; Tayfur, GökmenA multi-layer, feed-forward, back-propagation learning algorithm was used as an artificial neural network (ANN) tool to predict the extraction of germanium from zinc plant residues by sulphuric acid leaching. A genetic algorithm (GA) was used for the selection of training and testing data and a GA-ANN model of the germanium leaching system was created on the basis of the training data. Testing of the model yielded good error levels (r2 = 0.95). The model was employed to predict the response of the system to different values of the factors that affect the recovery of germanium and the results facilitate selection of the experimental conditions in which the optimum recovery will be achieved.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Microstructural Investigation of the Effect of Electrospraying Parameters on Lscf Films(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Sındıraç, Can; Akkurt, SedatIntermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC) require an effectively functioning cathode layer whose performance depends largely on their microstructures. Improved electrochemical performance of the cathode layer can be possible by tailoring the microstructure to ensure that both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurs fast along the triple-phase boundaries (TPB) and the diffusion pathway is short enough for fast ion diffusion through the cathode layer. Electro spray deposition (ESD) method is a low-cost deposition method which allows the optimization of microstructure by changing the spraying parameters. In this study, gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) electrolyte layer is deposited with La1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO3-? (LSCF) derived from polymeric precursor salts, symmetrically. As a solvent couple, 2-butoxyethanol and ethylene glycol are used instead of the conventional solvent couples frequently employed in the literature. The use of the new type of solvents in the precursor solution leads to promising results on modifying the microstructure of the deposited layer. The effect of electrospraying parameters on the cell performance was also studied. Promising results were obtained as measured by impedance spectroscopy when this new solvent couple was employed. © 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLCArticle Doe and Ann Models for Powder Mixture Packing(American Ceramic Society, 2007) Akkurt, Sedat; Romagnoli, Marcello; Sütçü, MücahitDesign of experiments (DOE) and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques were used to study packing of fused alumina powders composed of three different sizes of particles. The first is the mixture design technique that produces a polynomial model of the powder-packing system. While, the ANN technique is extensively used to model complex systems in many fields. The methodological approach used is mixture design, which can be used to study the influences of two or more additives. It is a structured and organized method for determining the relationship between the components and the output of that process. The mixture design approach permits optimization of size distribution to obtain a target value of porosity. Sensitivity analysis involves the use of the developed ANN model to predict outputs (porosity) at varying levels of the input factor effects.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Low Temperature Synthesis of Spinel Powders by Mechanical Grinding(Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Yalamaç, Emre; Akkurt, Sedat; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinLow temperature synthesis of spinel powder via intense mechanical grinding was performed. A dramatic decrease in the synthesis temperatures of ground powders was achieved. We were able to produce partially crystallized spinel at room temperature via a 110 minute grinding. Characterization of the synthesized powders was performed using SEM, XRD and DTA. Each stage of synthesis was analyzed using these techniques. Mixtures of Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH) 3 were used for synthesis. Temperatures as low as 800°C were able to produce bumps in the XRD patterns of ground powders at the 2θ angles for spinel crystals.Master Thesis Characterization and Recyclability of Pharmaceutical Blisters(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Çapkın, İrem Yaren; Gökelma, Mertol; Akkurt, Sedat; Gökelma, Mertol; Akkurt, SedatPackaging is one of the largest industries in the world. Pharmaceutical blister packages are the most preferred packaging type in the pharmaceutical industry. Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of pharmaceutical packaging has become widespread with the increasing demand for drugs. Pharmaceutical blister packages typically contain thin sheets of plastic and aluminium and generate substantial solid waste. Since these packages have a multi-layered and complex structure, they are difficult to recycle. Before recycling, plastic and aluminium need a separation process. Chemical separation or thermal processes can be used for separation. The aim of this study is to characterize different pharmaceutical blister types with SEM-EDS (Scanning electron microscopy- Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis), DSC (Differential scanning calorimetry), ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) and to review the different reagents used in the pharmaceutical blister layer separation process. In addition to thermal degradation, the parameters and results of the separation processes were evaluated using hydrochloric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, sulfuric acid, ethanol, acetone, and organic solvents. It also evaluates the recyclability of the separated layers (plastic and aluminium). Its recyclability was evaluated by melting the aluminium fraction under salt consisting of a mixture of NaCl-KCl-CaF2. The plastic fraction was obtained in solid and liquid form by thermal degradation and analysed by GC-TCD (Gas Chromatography-Thermal conductivity detector).Article Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 44Ettringite Formation in Historic Bath Brick-Lime Plasters(Elsevier Ltd., 2003) Böke, Hasan; Akkurt, SedatTwo types of historic hydraulic brick-lime plasters from a selected Ottoman bath are examined to characterize their technology and the appropriateness of their use in bath. The first type of plaster is original and structurally sound, while the historic repair plaster is the second type and is found to have deteriorated despite being exposed to the same environment. This difference is investigated by comparing their raw material compositions and the pozzolanic activities of the brick powders used in the plasters. Although these results showed no significant differences, ettringite crystals are detected in the historic repair ones by XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDS analysis. The repair plaster may have lost its integrity owing to the expansion generated by the growth of ettringite crystals in the plaster. In this study, the ettringite formation is discussed in relation to hydration reaction products of lime-brick plasters, possible sources of gypsum, and the climatic conditions of historic bath building.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Evaluation of Heat Treated Clay for Potential Use in Intervention Mortars(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Budak, Meral; Akkurt, Sedat; Böke, HasanIn this study, raw material compositions, basic physical, mineralogical, microstructural and hydraulic properties of lime mortars used in two selected historic buildings were determined by XRD, SEM-EDS and TGA analyses. The results showed that the mortars were hydraulic due to the use of pozzolanic aggregates. Taking into account the hydraulic characteristics of mortars due to the use of pozzolanic aggregates, the possibility of obtaining hydraulic mortars by using pozzolanic aggregates produced from heated commercial clays was investigated. For this purpose, four clay samples used in the ceramic industry in Turkey were heated at varying temperatures of 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 800, and 1200°C with a heating rate of 10°C/min. Pozzolanic properties of heated clay samples were determined. The results showed that commercial clays studied are well suited for use as pozzolanic aggregates when they are heated between 500 and 700. °C. This is also confirmed by testing the compressive strengths of the three month aged laboratory-produced mortars that contained thermally treated clay (at 600°C) as pozzolanic aggregates. Compressive strength of this mortar was around 5. MPa which is satisfactorily high. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 43Effects of Boron Addition and Intensive Grinding on Synthesis of Anorthite Ceramics(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Kavalcı, Sedat; Yalamaç, Emre; Akkurt, SedatAnorthite ceramics were synthesized starting from mixtures prepared by using mechanochemical methods with boron oxide addition. The raw materials used in this study were Sivas Kaolin, calcined alumina/Al(OH)3 and calcite. Statistical experimental design techniques (SED) were used in order to determine and analyze the more important process variables for synthesizing anorthite ceramics. Phase characterizations of synthesized powders were performed by XRD using Cu Kα radiation. Microstructural characterization was performed by SEM. The results of screening experimental design clarified that the temperature was the most important process variable. Second most important process variable was grinding speed of starting mixture which was followed by additive amount and additive type. The effect of both additive use and grinding on anorthite synthesis helped decrease the synthesis temperature down to 900 °C. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
