Gazlaştırma Tesisi Odun Atığı ve Sivas Kangal Linyit Kömürünün Boya Adsorpsiyonunda Kullanım Olanaklarının Araştırılması
(Chamber of Mining Engineers of Turkey, 2020) Kırma, Ramazan; Sarikaya, Musa; Top, S.; Uçkun, Şükrü; Timür, İrfan
In this study, the usage possibilities of wood waste obtained from Gebze MDF and Particle Board Gasification Plant preliminary studies and Sivas Kangal lignite coal as absorbents were investigated. In this way, it was aimed both to evaluate the wastes and to prevent environmental pollution with materials that are cheaper and easier to obtain. The structure and surface properties of wood waste and coal samples crushed and ground to -75 µm size and used as adsorbent were investigated by XRD, SEM and BET analyses. In addition, samples have been characterized by elemental, ash, moisture, volatile matter and fixed carbon analyses. In the experiments, methylene blue (MM) with the formulation of C16H18CIN3S.xH2O was used. The effects of temperature, mixing time and concentration parameters on MM adsorption were investigated. Langmuir isotherms were created for different temperatures at optimum concentrations. As a result, it has been revealed that lignite coal and wood waste can be used as adsorbent. A 10 ppm MM for lignite coal and 3 ppm MM for wood waste were determined to be ideal concentrations for adsorption. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater Solution Using a Mechanically Activated Novel Zeolitic Material
(Pleiades Publishing Ltd, 2020) Uckun, Sukru; Sarikaya, Musa; Top, Soner; Timur, Irfan
The removal of heavy metals from the wastewater solution using a novel zeolitic material was conceived and experimentally probed. The natural zeolite was ground in a planetary ball mill to increase negative surface charge and amorphization of the material as well as a conventional ball mill. The ground materials were used for the removal of heavy metals from the wastewater solution. The maximum removals were found to be 78% for Pb, 67% for Ni and 54% for Cd by using the conventional milled natural zeolitic material at pH 11. However, 93% of Pb, 72% of Ni and 57% of Cd were removed at pH 9 with the novel zeolitic material milled by a planetary ball mill. It was revealed that the novel zeolitic material produced by a planetary ball mill increased the absorption capacity of the heavy metals and reduced the alkali requirement for pH adjustment. The removal order of heavy metals with the novel zeolitic material is determined as follows: Pb> Ni>Cd.
