This work is to study the removal of phenol from aqueous solutions by adsorption using three different adsorbents, clinoptilolite, montmorillonite, and hydrotalcite (HT). Except for montmorillonite, the other adsorbents were treated. Clinoptilolite was modified using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and hydrotalcite was calcined by heating to 550 • C. Adsorption isotherms of phenol on all of the mentioned adsorbents was determined by using the batch equilibration technique and indicated that, the adsorption behavior could be modelled by using the Modified Freundlich equation. The differences observed in the isotherms were explained by the variations in adsorbent-adsorbate interactions under the effects of the different surface structures of adsorbents and the pH dependent ionization behavior of phenol. Calcined hydrotalcite (HTC) was found to be the best among the studied adsorbents since it can adsorb 52% of phenol from a solution containing initially 1 g/L phenol for the 1/100 adsorbent solution ratio while the others can adsorb only 8% of phenol for the same concentration and adsorbent solution ratio.
For the efficient design of bridge pier footings, computation of time-evolution of scour depth around bridge piers is essential. In this paper, a semi-empirical model is developed to estimate the temporal variation of clear-water scour depth at couple of identical cylindrical uniform piers in tandem arrangement. The experiments are carried out using different pier size, pier spacing, and flow intensities. The model development is based on sediment continuity approach and volumetric sediment transport rate from the scour hole using a sediment pickup function. The model results are presented as design charts giving the relation between dimensionless scour depth and time for practical use. Results of the proposed model are in relatively good agreement with the experimental results, in the test range.
ABSTRACT:Turkey is a rich country in historical monuments. In the district of Harran, Şanlıurfa province, the work was done, an ancient city and many other ruins beside the world's first university can be found. Considering the climate and sensitive structure of the studied region 3D modeling is a suitable technique. By means of such works reconstruction, that can show us the former state of the region will be enabled at a later point of time. In case the historical site would be destroyed in any way, it will be useful for recording the work as a visual and digital resource. Then, when the work has to be restored, the data can be used as a base and realistic restoration projects could be carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
