Cobalt aluminate is one of the most widely-used spinel aluminate types. It is known that various structural, magnetic and morphological properties of spinel ceramics can vary depending on the synthesis technique and the starting chemicals used. In this study, initially, heat treatment was applied to cobalt aluminate nanoparticles synthesized by the microwave-assisted combustion method and the effects of the applied heat treatment on the structural properties were investigated. Characterization studies showed that cobalt aluminate spinel pigments were successfully synthesized. The optimum heat treatment temperature was determined as 700 °C. Then, the synthesized cobalt aluminate nanoparticles were used as photocatalysts for dye removal by photocatalytic oxidation from a synthetic wastewater containing Astrazon red textile dye and their photocatalytic activity was investigated at different catalyst dosages. Moreover, the same particles were also produced by conventional combustion technique. Then, their photocatalytic activities were studied and the data were compared with the results obtained from the experiments made with the samples produced with microwave assisted combustion method under the same experimental conditions. The results show that cobalt aluminate nanoparticles synthesized by microwave assisted combustion exhibit a better photocatalytic activity. In experiments performed with samples produced via microwave-assisted combustion method, all dyestuff content in the solution containing 50 mg/L dye was completely removed under UV irradiation for approximately 60 min. It was determined that the catalyst dosage had an effect on the reaction rate and the reaction was found to be compatible with the pseudo first order kinetic model.

Biodegradable wastes are becoming a serious problem in terms of health and ecological balance in parallel with the increasing of local and global populations in recent years. These wastes should be disposed in both efficient and eco-friendly ways. Considering biodegradable wastes as an energy source, it is necessary to be sure that those disposal methods should be focused on energy recovery. However, the existing waste disposal methods have not reached technologically targeted lines yet. It is very important that waste-to-energy recovery systems should have high energy conversion efficiency. Nowadays, there are many current studies based on the methods of wastes incineration. One of the most significant among these systems is fluidized or spout-fluidized bed incineration system. Unfortunately, the targeted points of the technological development of these systems in view of efficient energy recovery have not been reached yet. Existing incineration systems and current studies on this issue are generally concentrated on conventional fluidized bed systems. However, there are few studies of new generation spout-fluidized bed incineration systems which increase homogeneity and prevent waste from adhering to inner wall of a combustor. This study is focused on the conducted numerical studies in this research field. The latest developments and researches on both fluidized and spout-fluidized bed incineration systems will be investigated and discussed. The remarkable results will be pointed out by using the comparison in order to identify the gaps of the scientific literature.
