    Epoxidation of Soybean Oil Over Titanium or Niobium Incorporated Sba-15 and Sulfated Lanthanum Titania Silicate Catalysts
    (Elsevier, 2022) Kalkandelen, Mustafa; Yılmaz, Selahattin
    Mesoporous heterogeneous catalysts were synthesized to develop environmentally benign catalysts for soybean oil's (Glycine max) epoxidation. The investigated materials were sulfated lanthanum doped titania silica xerogel (SO4/La-TiO2-SiO2), and Ti and Nb incorporated SBA-15 with two different silica/metal molar ratios of 10 and 20. Soybean oil epoxidation reactions were performed in tert-butanol by utilizing H2O2 as oxidant at 75 °C for 6 h. Product analysis was carried out by H NMR, FTIR, and analytical methods. Nb-SBA-15 catalysts yielded better conversion than Ti-SBA-15 catalysts owing to their high acidity. However, epoxide selectivity was found low for both catalyst groups due to water in the medium that promoted side reactions. Tert-butanol and ethyl acetate were studied as solvents, but employing ethyl acetate in the reactions triggered catalysts aggregation and deposition on the reactor surface. Stability tests indicated the robustness of Ti and Nb against leaching, whereas sulfur leaching was noted with SO4/La-TiO2-SiO2 catalyst. The most active Nb-SBA-15 (10) catalyst was also applied in the epoxidation of soybean-derived fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The results showed that small-sized FAME molecules did not enhance the reaction rate. Reusability tests indicated that Nb-SBA-15 (10) was active in epoxidation for at least three cycles.

    Synthesis and Characterization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube: Cyto-Genotoxicity in Allium Cepa Root Tips and Molecular Docking Studies
    (Wiley, 2022) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; İstifli, Erman Salih; Açıkbaş, Yaser; Liman, Recep; Yağmurcukardeş, Nesli; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Ciğerci, İbrahim Hakkı
    Herein, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were synthesized by the thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicated that obtained nanotubes were SWCNTs with high crystallinity and their average diameter was 10.15 ± 3 nm. Allium cepa ana–telophase and comet assays on the root meristem were employed to evaluate the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of SWCNTs by examining mitotic phases, mitotic index (MI), chromosomal aberrations (CAs), and DNA damage. A. cepa root tip cells were exposed to SWCNTs at concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml for 4 h. Distilled water and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS, 10 μg/ml) were used as the negative and positive control groups, respectively. It was observed that MIs decreased statistically significantly for all applied doses. Besides, CAs such as chromosome laggards, disturbed anaphase–telophase, stickiness and bridges and also DNA damage increased in the presence of SWCNTs in a concentration-dependent manner. In the molecular docking study, the SWCNT were found to be a strong DNA major groove binder showing an energetically very favorable binding free energy of −21.27 kcal/mol. Furthermore, the SWCNT interacted effectively with the nucleotides on both strands of DNA primarily via hydrophobic π and electrostatic interactions. As a result, cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of SWCNTs in A. cepa root meristematic cells which is a reliable system for assessment of nanoparticle toxicology were demonstrated in this study.
