PREFACE

International Conference on Recycling and Reuse (R&R, 2016) organized by two leading

universities of Turkiye; Istanbul University and Namik Kemal University, was held in

Istanbul, 28-30 September, 2016. The conference brought together engineers, scientists,

practitioners and other environmental professionals from many countries all over the world

to exchange emerging ideas and to investigate key issues such as: integrated waste

management; novel applications for reuse and recycling; renewable energy sources and

green technologies. Over 250 oral and poster presentations as well as eight plenary lectures

and six invited talks from eminent researchers have been scheduled in an intensive three-

day program. Most importantly, over 40 young master and doctoral students participated in

the conference. The participation of about 20 young researchers was subsidized by R&R,

2016 organization through fee remission.

The organizers would like to express their thanks to the keynote speakers for their excellent

presentations. Special thanks should also be addressed to the members of the Scientific

Committee. Moreover, we are very grateful to the members of the Organizing Committee

as well as to our Sponsors who made the R&R, 2016 Conference a great success. It is also

worth to mention that presented contributions, both oral and posters, could be submitted as

full research papers to the journals; Desalination and Water Treatment, Water Science and

Technology, Water Science and Technology: Water Supply, Water Practice and Technology

which provided special efforts to publish the selected conference papers. Finally, we thank

all participants without whom the R&R, 2016 Conference would not have been possible.

We would like to welcome you at the forthcoming 4th International Conference on

Recycling and Reuse (R&R, 2018).

September 2016, Istanbul

Abstract

100 mg.L-1 Bisphenol A (BPA) containing synthetic water samples have been exposed to ozone

process for 90 minutes. Three different pH conditions (pH 3, 7 and 10) were tested to achive an

effective treatment of BPA by monitoring the concentration and mineralization simultaneously.

5.3 mg.min-1 gaseous ozone was supplied into the aqueous solution of BPA where its removal

was best fitted to pseudo-first order kinetics. Alkaline conditions promoted the fastest removal

showing the highest observed reaction rate constant which was calculated as 0.15 min-1. Under

optimum conditions (pH 10) 30 minutes satisfied the complete removal of BPA however, 40%

mineralization was achieved after 90 minutes and remain constant. Commonly ring structured

byproducts were observed under pH 3 and 7 conditions indicating the lower degree of

mineralization.

1. Introduction

Bisphenol A (BPA) is produced over 2.7 billion kilogram worldwide every year (Vandenberg

et al, 2007). 99.9 % of BPA that is produced is used for the production of polycarbonate plastic,

epoxy resin and other plastic products (Staples et al, 1998). It is consumed in a wide range of

products for different purposes that include; optical lenses, thermal paper, protective coating,

automotive lenses, electrical parts, building materials, compact disks, and flame retard
