    The Effect of Rare Earth Element Doping on the Microstructural Evolution of Sol-Gel Titania Powders
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Yurtsever, Hüsnü Arda; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The development of a better understanding of the low temperature nanophase evolution of high surface area titania (TiO2) based powders is essential for their use in photocatalytic applications. A series of rare earth (RE) element doped TiO2 powders were prepared by sol-gel processing. The effects of RE doping level, ionic size and heat treatment temperature on the nanophase structure evolution and the dopant ion location in TiO2 main matrix were investigated. Anatase was determined to be the main phase up to 900 °C at all doping levels for all REs. Anatase to rutile phase transformation was inhibited by RE doping. The inhibitory effect of REs increased with increasing ionic radius. Oxide phases of La, Nd, Pr, Sm were not present up to 5% and Nd4Ti9O24 phase was formed at 10% doping level at 800 °C. The formation of RE2Ti2O7 phases were determined for the REs with relatively lower ionic radii at 800 °C.

    Preconcentration and Atomic Spectrometric Determination of Rare Earth Elements (rees) in Natural Water Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Pasinli, Türker; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, Talal; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The usage of a variety of sorbents has been shown as promising matrix removal/preconcentration strategies for the determination of rare earth elements (REEs) in various natural water samples by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The sorption efficiency of various zeolites (clinoptilolite, mordenite, zeolite Y, zeolite Beta), ion-exchangers (Amberlite CG-120, Amberlite IR-120, Rexyn 101, Dowex 50W X18) and chelating resins (Muromac, Chelex 100, Amberlite IRC-718) towards REEs was investigated in terms of solution pH, shaking time and sorbent amount. The results have shown that most of the materials can take up REEs at a wide pH range. The experiments were continued with clinoptilolite, zeolite Y and Chelex 100 and it was demonstrated that all three materials displayed very fast kinetics for REE sorption (higher than 96% in 1 min). Desorption from the sorbents was realized with 2.0 M HNO3 for clinoptilolite and 0.1 M HNO3 for zeolite Y and Chelex 100. Only the lower concentration range (0.01–2.0 mg l−1) of matrix-matched standards were used in quantitation although the calibration graphs were linear at least up to 10.0 mg l−1 for all REEs studied. The limit of detection (3 s) without preconcentration was 0.1, 1.0, and 0.2 μg l−1 for Eu, La, and Yb, respectively. The validity of the method with the selected sorbents was checked through spike recovery experiments.
