    Adsorption of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions by bio-chars obtained during biomass pyrolysis
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2013) Deveci, Huseyin; Kar, Yakup
    In this study, bio-chars were evaluated as a potential adsorbent for the removal of Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solutions. The effects of some important parameters including initial pH (1.5-7), adsorbent dose (0.2-5 g/L), contact time (5-900 min) and initial Cr (VI) ion concentration (5-75 mg/L) were tested on the removal of Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solution in batch experiments. Maximum adsorption capacities of the tested bio-chars under the certain experimental conditions determined as optimal were 3.53 mg/g for NCBC, 3.97 mg/g for NZCBC and 6.08 mg/g for ACBC, respectively. Results of the kinetic and isotherm modeling studies revealed that the adsorption data fitted well with a pseudo-second order and Langmuir model. In among the tested bio-chars, the bio-char (ACBC) was largely equivalent to activated carbon: AC (9.97 mg/g) in terms of adsorption capacity. All results indicated that the bio-chars had higher adsorption capacity than some chars and activated carbons reported previously, and also that these bio-chars could be used successfully as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of chromium ions from aqueous solutions under the tested experimental conditions.

    Usability of terebinth (Pistacia terebinthus L.) fruits as an energy source for diesel-like fuels production
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012) Kar, Yakup; Sen, Nejdet; Deveci, Huseyin
    This study examined the effects of varying pyrolysis parameters, including final temperature, heating rate, particle size, and nitrogen flow rate, on the yields of terebinth as a source of bio-oil. The maximum bio-oil yield of 58.99 wt.% was almost equal to diesel fuel in terms of its major fuel properties (H/C = 1.73, 38.50 MJ/kg, 0.954 g/cm(3), and flash point of 59 degrees C). The GC MS and H-1-NMR analysis results showed that bio-oil predominantly comprised aliphatic hydrocarbons with high heating value and other valuable compounds with potential added value. The results show that the bio-oil can be used as a feedstock for the production of the diesel-like fuels or refined chemicals. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
