Waste polyethylene terephthalate (wPET) was converted to liquid fuel by direct liquefaction method. Additionally, how the catalyst (sodium borohydride) and microwave pre-treatment affect the total conversion and the char yield were investigated. Direct liquefaction experiments were carried out in a batch reactor under non-catalytic/catalytic condit...

In this study, filaments for FDM 3D printers were produced by extrusion method by mixing 95% polylactic acid (PLA), 1%hydroxyapatite (HA) and 4% titanium dioxide (TiO2). The extruder temperature, raster angle and layer thickness parameters, and printing defects of the prints made with the FDM 3Dprinter were examined. According to the dimensional an...

In this study, waste polyethylene terephthalate (wPET) was converted to liquid fuel by the pyrolysis method. It was also investigated both effects of microwave pre‐treatment and catalyst (sodium borohydride) on total conversion and oil+gas yield. The reaction temperature of 375–425°C and the reaction time of 30 min are sufficient for the pyrolysis...

Polymer composite filaments, which consist of polylactic acid (PLA), titanium dioxide (TiO2), synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) and natural hydroxyapatite (NHA), have been produced via an extruder for using in biomedical applications. Then, 3D printings were produced in a fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer by using these composite filaments. A num...

In this study, a new program interface has been designed using the visual basic programming language for CNC milling machines used in the furniture industry. PCI motion control card was used between the prepared program interface and the CNC milling machine. Thanks to the ergonomic design of this program interface, users can easily use them without...

Activated carbon, which is used in many application areas such as gas purification, purification of pollution in water and wastewater, removal of odor and pollution, in the defense industry, in the production of protective clothing and in the health sector, was produced from solid products obtained by waste polyethylene terephthalate (wPET) liquefa...

In this study, a detailed research has been done on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) related production and technologies, properties and usage areas. PET, an aliphatic-aromatic and semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester of commercial and industrial importance, is one of the most widely used plastics in the world. PET is mostly used as food packag...

In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) based polymer composite filaments containing titanium dioxide (titania, TiO2), synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA), and natural hydroxyapatite (NHA) have been developed for biomedical applications. By using these composite filaments fabricated, 3D prints were easily printed on the fused deposition modeling (FDM) print...

Polylactic acid (PLA) based polymer composites containing titanium dioxide (TiO2), synthetic hydroxy apatite (HA) and natural hydroxy apatite (nHA) have been developed for biomedical applications. These extruded composite materials were printed using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). 3D printing parameters and mechanical properties were characterize...

Polyethylene terephthalate, which is used in many applications today, is very important in terms of nature and source in order to ensure recycling by appropriate methods after use. Because polyethylene terephthalate is a durable and long-lasting thermoplastic which is resistant to many environmental influences. Recovering residual plastics has beco...

In this study, the characterization of products obtained with the co-liquefaction of Elbistan lignite and biomass is made by using the apricot kernel shell as the biomass. The liquefaction tests were carried out in an inert atmosphere in non-catalytic conditions. The calorific value, proximate and elemental analyses of the solid products and the ca...

In this study, the co-liquefaction of Elbistan lignite and biomass investigated by using apricot kernel shell as a biomass type. The liquefaction experiments were carried out under inert atmosphere and non-catalytic conditions. The effect of particle size, coal/biomass ratio, and reaction temperature were examined as a process variable to determine...

Mikail OLAM, Ismail Hakki SANLITURK, Nihat TOSUN S Abstract—For being able to manufacture of a 2D shaped object that drawn as a pixel graphic on a PC, an algorithm has been developed in this study, that extracts machining coordinates from the graphic and drives motors of a CNC router machine. CNC router has been directly driven by using this algori...
