Article Effects of Span 60 Template and Freeze Drying on Zinc Borate Produced From Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate and Borax Decahydrate(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Alp, Burcu; Alp, Burcu; Gönen, Mehmet; Balköse, Devrim; Atakul Savrık, Sevdiye; Balköse, Devrim; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyZinc borate is an important additive to polymers and lubricants. The process variables such as reactant concentration, presence of template in precipitating medium and drying method determine the composition and particle size of zinc borates. In the present study, zinc borate precipitate obtained by mixing aqueous zinc nitrate and borax decahydrate solutions was dried either by conventional method or by freeze drying. The products were well characterized by advanced methods. Zinc borate from 1 mol dm(-3) reactants had (2.1 +/- 0.5)x(2.5 +/- 0.5)x(1.3 +/- 0.2) mu m and (0.5 +/- 0.1)x(1.3 +/- 0.1)x(0.028 +/- 0.01) mu m dimensions by conventional and freeze drying respectively. Individual particles smaller in size is obtained since the particles are not agglomerated due to absence of surface tension of liquid water for case of freeze drying. Planar particles agglomerated into 20 to 60 mu m crystals in the presence of template Span 60 in 1 mol dm(-3) reactants for conventional drying. Nano zinc borate particles with primary particle size of (46 +/- 9) nm were obtained by decreasing the reactant concentration to 0.1 mol dm(-3). The primary particle size was decreased to (40 +/- 3) nm by addition of Span 60 to dilute solutions. However zinc borate nanoparticles obtained from dilute solutions adhered to each other forming agglomerates during conventional drying. Their freeze drying would allow formation of a freely flowing nano powder.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Morphology of Sodium Salt of Calf Thymus Dna on Mica, Alumina, and Silica Surfaces: Effect of Solvent and Drying Method(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Yetgin, Senem; Balköse, Devrim; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyInvestigation of morphology of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (DNA) dried on different surfaces by atomic force microscopy (AFM) is important in DNA research that is focused on subjects of condensation for gene therapy, sizing, DNA mapping, and cancer examination. The solvent, the surface type, and the method of drying effect the morphology of DNA on solid surfaces. Ethanol and water were used as solvents, flat mica, silica, and alumina surfaces were used as the substrates in the present study. Different methods such as ambient air-drying, N2-forced flow regime drying, and freeze-drying have been applied to droplets of DNA solutions in water or ethanol on the substrates. Forced flow drying regime causes nonlinear DNA attachment on the surface and self-assembly. DNA vertical distance on mica surface was found to be 6 and 1.4 nm for DNA dried in ambient air from ethanol and water solutions, respectively. It was 1.6 nm for N2 flow drying of aqueous DNA solution on mica surface. It was 4.6, 4.6, and 1.99 nm for ambient, N2 flow, and freeze-dried aqueous DNA on alumina surfaces, respectively. Aqueous solution of DNA dried under N2 flow on silica surface had 0.8 nm vertical distance. The smallest standard deviation of 0.05 nm was observed for DNA dried under N2 flow on alumina surface.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Dehydration, Water Vapor Adsorption and Desorption Behavior of Zn[b3o3(oh)5] · H2o and Zn[b3o4(oh)3](Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2012) Alp, Burcu; Alp, Burcu; Gönen, Mehmet; Balköse, Devrim; Atakul Savrık, Sevdiye; Ülkü, Semra; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, Semra; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe dehydration behaviors of two different hydrated zinc borate species, Zn[B3O3(OH)5] · H2O and Zn[B3O4(OH)3], which are industrially important flame retardants, were studied by thermal gravimetric(TG) analysis and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. Dehydration onset temperatures of Zn[B3O3(OH)5] · H2O and Zn[B3O4(OH)3] were 129 and 320°C, respectively, at a 10°C/min ramp rate. A very small amount of boric acid was volatilized in addition to water vapor when both samples were heated at 250°C. A significant amount of water vapor was adsorbed by Zn[B3O3(OH)5] · H2O from air at 25°C. However, Zn[B3O4(OH)3] adsorbed a very small amount of water under the same conditions. Both zinc borates did not have a tendency to cake during storage.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14Characterization and Dehydration Behavior of a Natural, Ammonium Hydroxide, and Thermally Treated Zeolitic Tuff(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2011) Narin, Güler; Balköse, Devrim; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, Semra; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAqueous NH4OH-treated and subsequently calcined forms of local natural zeolitic tuff were characterized by different techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), volumetric N2 adsorption at -196°C, thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and transmittance infrared spectroscopy. The dehydration behavior of the samples was investigated using an in situ temperature-programmed diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TP-DRIFTS) method under vacuum. The DRIFTS spectra recorded yielded information about the effect of the NH4OH treatment and subsequent calcination on the dehydration behavior of the natural zeolite.Changes in the infrared bands corresponding to vibrations of the O-H and N-H bonds upon in situ heating under vacuum were analyzed.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13Effect of Supercritical Ethanol Drying on the Properties of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2012) Egbuchunam, Theresa; Balköse, Devrim; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe synthesis, characterization, and application as polymers and anti-wear additives of nanosized zinc oxide particles obtained by conventional and supercritical ethanol drying are reported in this study. The nanaoparticles of ZnO produced by the two different drying techniques were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to elucidate the shape, size, composition, and stability of the nanoparticles. ZnO nanoparticles were then applied to poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) powder and light mineral oil to assess their effectiveness and suitability as additives in diverse areas. XRD analysis revealed ZnO crystalline structure with average particle size of 24.7 nm for zinc oxide nanoparticles prepared by supercritical ethanol drying while SEM showed well-isolated and monodisperse particles with average size of 61.08 nm. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 19Development of Synergistic Heat Stabilizers for Pvc From Zinc Borate-Zinc Phosphate(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2009) Erdoğdu, Cem Aykut; Atakul, Sevdiye; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, Semra; Ülkü, Semra; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe importance of flame-retardant and smoke-suppressed poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) compositions is increasing gradually in the polymer industry since PVC releases smoke and toxic gases (hydrogen chloride, HCl) during heating at temperatures above 140°C with the result of dehydrochlorination reaction. In this study, the synergistic effects of zinc borate (ZB)-zinc phosphate (ZP) on the thermal stability of PVC were investigated using thermal techniques. The induction and stability time values of PVC plastigels were obtained at 140°C and 160°C. The results revealed that PVC plastigels having only ZP and ZB retarded dehydrochlorination of PVC compared with the unstabilized sample. However, the plastigels with both ZB and ZP had a superior synergistic effect on char formation of PVC. Since the induction periods of the samples having both ZB and ZP were higher than those of the unstabilized samples having only ZB or only ZP, the synergistic effect was observed.Article Citation - WoS: 19Flexible Poly(vinyl Chloride)-Zeolite Composites for Dye Adsorption From Aqueous Solutions(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 1996) Balköse, Devrim; Ulutan, Sevgi; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, Semra; Özkan, Seher Fehime; Ülkü, Semra; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyFlexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) composites having natural zeolite clinoptillolite were prepared by plastisol-plastigel technology. Adsoption of methylene blue on each raw material and on composites was studied both from an equilibrium and a rate approach. It was observed that the adsorption capacity of zeolite decreased when it was embedded in composites. The equilibrium uptake of methylene blue increased with an increasing zeolite fraction in composites. Methylene blue was adsorbed from a 0.02 g·cm-3 aqueous solution slowly, but was nearly adsorbed completely with a composite having a 0.3 volume fraction of zeolite. The effective diffusion coefficient of methylene blue in composites was of the order of 10-13 m2·s-1 and decreased with increasing filler fraction.
