Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 31Nano-Caco3 Synthesis by Jet Flow(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Ülkeryıldız, Eda; Kılıç, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremA new methodology was introduced to produce hollow nano calcite particles in homogenous size distribution without aggregation. The design consisted of a jet flow system in which the crystallization region was separated from the stabilization region. The newly produced nano CaCO3 particles of about 140 nm were removed from the crystallization region as quickly as possible into the stabilization region before aggregation or crystal growth. In the stages of crystallization, the particles started to dissolve from their edges which opened-up the pores inside the particles. At the late stages of crystallization, the open pores closed. These particles were stable in Ca(OH)2 solution and no aggregation was detected. Different particles with different morphologies can be produced by adjusting the stages in the crystallization.Article Citation - WoS: 48Citation - Scopus: 52Stability of Caco3 in Ca(oh)2 Solution(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Kılıç, Sevgi; Toprak, Görkem; Özdemir, EkremThe effect of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) on the stability of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles was investigated with respect to the surface potential and particle size. Both CaCO3 and Ca(OH)2 were dissolved in ultrapure water at concentrations up to 100 mM. The solubility limits were about 18 mM for Ca(OH)2 and about 0.13 mM for CaCO3 at 23 °C in water. Dissolution of commercial CaCO3 in 10 mM of Ca(OH)2 solution and dissolution of Ca(OH)2 in 10 mM of CaCO3 slurry were also studied at similar conditions. Conductivity, pH, zeta potential, and average particle sizes were measured for each solution. The morphological characteristics of the particles were analyzed by the SEM images. It was found that the zeta potential of CaCO3 particles was greater than + 30 mV when they were placed in the Ca(OH)2 solution compared to a zeta potential value of - 10 mV in water. It was concluded that the Ca(OH)2 solution is a stabilizer for the CaCO3 particles.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Rice-Like Hollow Nano-Caco3 Synthesis(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Ülkeryıldız, Eda; Kılıç, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremWe have shown that Ca(OH)2 solution is a natural stabilizer for CaCO3 particles. We designed a CO2 bubbling crystallization reactor to produce nano-CaCO3 particles in homogenous size distribution without aggregation. In the experimental set-up, the crystallization region was separated from the stabilization region. The produced nanoparticles were removed from the crystallization region into the stabilization region before aggregation or crystal growth. It was shown that rice-like hollow nano-CaCO3 particles in about 250 nm in size were produced with almost monodispersed size distribution. The particles started to dissolve through their edges as CO2 bubbles were injected, which opened-up the pores inside the particles. At the late stages of crystallization, the open pores were closed as a result of dissolution-recrystallization of the newly synthesized CaCO3 particles. These particles were stable in Ca(OH)2 solution and no aggregation was detected. The present methodology can be used in drug encapsulation into inorganic CaCO3 particles for cancer treatment with some modifications.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 45Types of the Scaling in Hyper Saline Geothermal System in Northwest Turkey(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Baba, Alper; Atilla, Vedat; İnanlı, MustafaTuzla is an active geothermal area located in northwestern Turkey, 80km south of the city of Canakkale and 5km from the Aegean Coast. The geothermal brine from this area, which is dominated by NaCl, has a typical temperature of 173°C. Rapid withdrawal of fluid to ambient surface conditions during sampling causes precipitation of various compounds known as scaling. Scaling is one of the important problems in Tuzla geothermal system that reduces the efficiency of the geothermal power plant and causes economical loss. The aim of this study was to determine the type of scaling as a first step towards preventing its formation. The scales formed in the geothermal system were divided into two groups according to location: the ones that formed in downhole and the ones that accumulated along the surface pipeline. Both scales were examined in terms of their elemental composition, structure and morphology using XRF, XRD, and SEM, respectively. The former was found to be mainly composed of PbS (Galena) and CaCO3 (aragonite or calcite). In contrast, the latter was heterogeneous in nature and consisted of mainly saponite like amorphous structure along with submicrometer-sized amorphous silica particles, layered double magnesium and iron hydroxide, and NaCl.
