    Zinc Borate Chemical Garden and Zinc Borate Powders From Tincal Mineral and Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate
    (Turkish Energy Nuclear and Mining Research Institute, 2021) Gönen, Mehmet; Alp, Fatma Burcu; Savrık, Sevdiye; Balkose, Devrim
    The formation of the first membrane, the swelling of the crystal by incoming water from the semipermeable membrane and the formation of irregular shaped branches were observed by optical microscopy, when zinc sulfate heptahydrate crystals were immersed in saturated borax solution. The powders obtained by mixing dilute aqueous borax and zinc sulfate solutions had B, O, Na, S and Zn elements. Presence of $Na Zn_{1/2}B_4O_7.xH_2O$ was indicated by EDX analysis. The molar ratio of $B_2O_3/ZnO$ in powders was around 2. FTIR analysis indicated the ratio of absorbance values of asymmetric stretching vibrations of B(3)-O at 1351 cm-1 to that of B(4)-O at 1026 cm-1 increased with their heating time at 90ºC during their preparation. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated the presence of $Zn(OH)_2and Zn_4(OH)_6(SO_4)·4H_2O$. The zinc borate compounds in the powders were not crystalline since no sharp peaks related to zinc borates were present in x-ray diffraction diagram. There were two mass loss steps in TG curves of the powders. The first step at 150-350ºC and the second step at 700-950ºC were due to elimination of water and due to decomposition of sulfate ions respectively. The submicron powders were a mixture of zinc borate, $Zn(OH)_2, Zn_4(OH)_6(SO_4)·4H_2O and Na Zn_{1/2}B_4O_7.xH_2O$ and they could be used as lubricant additive due to their small particle size of 600 nm.

    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, Semra
    Metal 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. All rights reserved.
