    Projects

    INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT FLAME RETARDANTS ON PARTICLE BOARDS PRODUCED:The subject of this thesis is the development of new wood-resistant flame retardant mixture chemicals. It will be tested whether the new chemical to be developed is resistant to fire as a result of combining with the plate. For this,phosphate- derived compounds were chosen. Hybrid mixtures will be tested as flame retardant by mixing the phosphate compounds to be determined according to the results to be obtained in a certain ratio with each other. As a result of the analyzes to be made, it will be presented as a thesis and scientific publication by turning it into a report.

  • REMOVAL OF DOROLON RED E2B FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION USING WASTE CONTAINING COLEMANITE IMPURITY:Colemanite ore tailings (CW) were used as adsorbent for the removal of Dorolon

    Red E2B dye from aqueous solution. The adsorption of Dorolon Red E2B dye onto CW was investigated in terms of contact time and initial dye concentration. Two simplified kinetic models were used to investigate the adsorption mechanisms,namely the so-called first-order and the so-called second degree was tested.
