Conference Object Heavy Metal Removal Using Natural Zeolite Packed Ion Exchange Column(American Chemical Society, 2008) Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, Semra[No abstract available]Book Part A Review: Preparation, Characterization and Applications of Magnesium Stearate, Cobalt Stearate and Copper Stearate(Nova Science Publishers, 2010) Egbuchunam, Theresa O.; Gönen, Mehmet; Balköse, Devrim; İnal, Fikret; Ülkü, SemraMetal soaps, such as zinc, calcium, copper, magnesium are insoluble or sparingly soluble in water. Because of this property, they are commercially important compounds and find applications in industry, such as driers in paints or inks, components of greases, stabilizers for plastics, in fungicides, catalysts, waterproofing agents, fuel additives, components of creams and additive in drug formulation and etc. Magnesium stearate is in widespread use as gelling, sanding and anti-sticking agents, stabilizer, lubricant, emulsifier and plasticizer for polymers, in the paint, food, rubber, paper and pharmaceutical industries. Copper stearate is used mainly for rot-proofing textiles, ropes, etc. It is also used in paints since they are soluble in oils, white spirits, etc. Quartz crystals coated with CuSt2 was used in the detection of volatile organic compounds. Cobalt stearate has applications in producing Co nests, mesoporous silica, as adhesion promoter. © 2014 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Doğal zeolitlerin hayvanlarda biyokütle arttırıcı besi katkı maddesi, insanlarda ülser tedavisinde mide asitliğini tamponlayıcı, asitliği düşürücü ilaç gibi değişik kullanım alanları mevcuttur. Değişik sağlık alanlarında kullanımlarından dolayı, zeolitlerin yapısal stabilitesinin sindirim sırasında belirlenmesi; olası olumlu veya olumsuz etkileşimleri anlamak açısından önem taşımaktadır. Gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, yapay sindirim sırasında zeolitte meydana gelebilecek olası morfolojik değişimlerin incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla zeolitin ABTS ile radikal sönümleme kapasitesi araştırılmış, yapay sindirim denemeleri gerçekleştirilerek de uygulama süreci sonrası yapıda olası değişimler ve adsorpsiyonlar taramalı elektron mikroskobu, FTIR, XRD analizleri ile incelenmiştir. 3g/100ml zeolitin ABTS radikalini %45 inhibe ettiği bulunmuştur. Taramalı elektron mikroskobu deneyleri sonucunda yapay sindirilmiş örneklerin yüzey morfolojisinde değişim gözlenmemiştir. Element analizleri yapısal kaybın olmadığını, Al ve Si elementlerinin ağırlıkça yüzdelerinin, kontrol örnekleriyle (Al:8.1; Si: 39) sindirilmiş örneklerde (Al:8.2; Si: 38.3) yaklaşık aynı olduğunu göstermiştir. Infrared spektrum (IR) ve X-ray ışını kırınımı analizleri sonuçları ise bu bulguları doğrulamıştır. Ayrıca taramalı elektron mikroskobu ve IR spektrum sonuçları yapay sindirim ortamındaki maddelerin, zeolit yüzeyinde adsorplanmadıklarıını göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak doğal zeolitler, yapay sindirim sırasında yapısal stabilitelerini kaybetmemektedirler.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Antioxidative and Antimicrobial Screening of 19 Commercial Essential Oils in Turkey(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2009) Bulut, Çisem; Altıok, Evren; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Ülkü, SemraPlant oils have been used for wide variety purposes for many years in Turkey. These essential oils have usage in many areas such as perfumery, cosmetic, food flavoring and folkloric medicine. In the study, 19 commercial essential oils were studied by means of antibacterial and antioxidant capacity. Antibacterial test was performed against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, K. pneumoniae and E. coli using standard disc diffusion method. Penicillin, gentamicin and vancomycin discs were also included. Inhibition zones (mm) were recorded to indicate antibacterial property. Penicillin (44 mm) and vancomycin (14 mm) could inhibit only S. aureus. Except essential oils of Juniperus nana (Ardiç), Ocimum basilicum (Feslegen), Urtica dioica (Isirgan), Foeniculum vulgare (Rezene) ressential oils indicated antimicrobial activity against some of the test microorganims. The most active essential oil was found as Thymus serpyllum (Kekik). It indicated highest inhibition zones for other microorganisms among others. Antioxidant capacities were measured using photochemiluminescence (PCL) method. The highest antioxidant activity was measured for Dianthus caryophyllus (Karanfil) as 547.781 103 ug trolox/mL of oil. It was followed by Thymus serpyllum (Kekik), Lilium candidum (Zambak) and Matricaria chamomilla (Papatya). Especially, Thymus serpyllum and Dianthus caryophyllus have significant antimicrobial and antioxidant capacity therefore it could be suggested for further investigations and applications.Article Citation - Scopus: 5Effect of Isotherm Shape on Mass Transfer in an Adsorbent Particle; an Isothermal Adsorption Process(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2011) Yıldırım, Zeynep Elvan; Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraThe mass diffusion equation and corresponding initial and boundary conditions were non-dimensionalized for a spherical adsorbent particle in an infinite adsorptive medium to reduce number of independent governing parameters into two as mass transfer Biot number and dimensionless isotherm. The changes in local and average adsorbate concentration throughout the adsorption process were calculated and plotted for different values of mass transfer Biot numbers (ranging from 0.5 to 750) and for five different isotherm shapes. The obtained results indicated that the isotherm shape influences dimensionless period of adsorption, if the external mass transfer resistance is significant in the process. For those cases, the total dimensionless adsorption period for a convex shape isotherm is shorter than a concave one.
