    Effect of Cnt Incorporation on Pan/Ppy Nanofibers Synthesized by Electrospinning Method
    (TÜBİTAK, 2020) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Tanoğlu, Metin; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Selamet, Yusuf
    In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added polyacrylonitrile/polypyrrole (PAN/PPy) electrospun nanofibers were produced. Average diameters of the nanofibers were measured as 268 and 153 nm for 10 and 25 wt% of PPy contents, respectively. A relatively higher strain to failure values (23.3%) were observed for the low PPy content. When as-grown CNTs (1 and 4 wt%) were added into the PAN/PPy blends, disordered nanofibers were observed to form within the microstructure. To improve the interfacial properties of CNTs/PAN/PPy composites, CNTs were functionalized with H2SO4/HNO3/HCl solution. The functionalized CNTs were well dispersed within the nanofibers and aligned along the direction of nanofibers. Therefore, beads formation on nanofibers decreased. The impedance of the nanofibers was found to decrease with the PPy content and CNT addition. These nanofibers had a great potential to be used as an electrochemical actuator or a tissue engineering scaffold.

    Heavy Naphtha Upgrading by Catalytic Reforming Over Novel Bi-Functional Zeolite Catalyst
    (Springer, 2018) Ahmedzeki, Nada S.; Al-Tabbakh, Ban A.; Antwan, Maher B.; Yılmaz, Selahattin
    Naphtha catalytic reforming process using bimetallic platinum and titanium loaded on nano synthesized HY zeolite was investigated for the product octane number enhancement. The activity of five samples of the prepared catalyst with different bimetallic loading of 0.13, 0.25 wt% Pt and 0.75, 1, 2.2 wt% Ti were investigated for Iraqi heavy naphtha catalytic reforming at the temperature range of 490, 500 and 510 degrees C and pressure of 10 bar in a packed bed pilot plant reactor. The best result of the research octane number was 84 for reformate product using the sample of 0.13% Pt-0.75% Ti%/HY zeolite at temperature 510 degrees C and 10 bar achieving 47% increase. All samples of the prepared catalyst showed a good stability during the operation at severe conditions and the maximum carbon content was about 9% due to the deposition of coke precursor on the catalyst surface. The reformate yield was investigated for all catalyst samples under 10 and 20 bars and the same range of temperature and ranged from 89 to 94%. These results are encouraging for future possible replacement of the conventional catalyst by the local synthetic zeolite. Octane number was correlated on the basis of constituent's boiling points. The maximum absolute error between the experimental and predicted octane number was about 3 and 5% using 10 and 20 bar respectively.

    Effective Synthesis of Cetyl Palmitate Over Co-Precipitated Wo3-Zro2 Catalysts
    (Springer Verlag, 2018) Mutlu, Vahide N.; Yılmaz, Selahattin
    This study is focused on the development of solid acid catalysts for the synthesis of long chain fatty acids. A series of WO3-ZrO2 catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation method and tested in the synthesis of cetyl palmitate. The effect of WO3 loading (10, 15, and 20 wt% WO3) and calcination temperature (700 and 800 degrees C) on the catalyst properties and activity was investigated. XRD and Raman analysis confirmed that WO3 loading stabilized the tetragonal zirconia phase. Higher calcination temperature enhanced the acidities of the catalysts. WO3-ZrO2 catalysts were found to be very efficient for the synthesis of cetyl palmitate with high selectivity. These catalysts were tested for different reaction temperatures (135 and 162 degrees C), feed composition and catalyst amounts. The highest cetyl palmitate yield (98.4%) was obtained over the catalyst calcined at 800 degrees C with 15 wt% WO3, which had the highest total acidity. The catalysts preserved their activities up to three reuse.

    Fe Containing Zsm-5 Zeolite as Catalyst for Wet Peroxide Oxidation of Orange Ii
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2011) Bolova, Emre; Gündüz, Gönül; Dükkancı, Meral; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Yaman, Yadigar Ceyda
    This study presents the catalytic performances of iron containing ZSM-5 zeolites, prepared by ion exchange or hydrothermal synthesis, in catalytic Fenton-like oxidation of Orange II in aqueous solution. The catalyst, ZSM-5 zeolite with Si/Al ratio of 42 loaded with iron by ion exchange, showed the highest activity. The decolorization of 99.7 percent, degradation of 87.0 percent and COD removal of 81.2 percent were achieved over this catalyst at an initial pH of 3.5. Incorporation of iron into ZSM-5 structure increased its catalytic activity. The hydrothermally prepared FeZSM-5 catalyst was more stable against leaching at low pH value due to the iron being in the framework.

    Effect of Different Acidity Modifications on the Activity and Selectivity on H-Zsm5 Zeolites in N-Butene Isomerization
    (Springer Verlag, 2014) Kılıç, Emre; Yılmaz, Selahattin
    H-ZSM-5 was modified by silylation [tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and triaminopropyltriethoxysilane], alkali (NaOH), acid (HCl) and ammoniumhexafluorosilicate (AHFS) treatments. The parent and modified zeolite forms were tested in n-butene isomerization. Modifications affected total acidities, the strength of the acid sites, pore sizes and surface areas of the H-ZSM-5 differently. The modifications decreased the conversion obtained by the parent catalyst. TEOS and alkali modifications did not promote formation of isobutene. Pre-alkali treatment before acid treatment increased selectivity to isobutene from 56.0 to 66.7 %, while conversion changed a little, it dropped from 52 to 50 %. AHFS modification provided the highest enhancement in selectivity to isobutene (87.5 %) for which n-butene conversion was dropped by about 10 % compared to H-ZSM-5. This was attributed to a slight modification of the pore size and to the reduction in strong and weak acid sites and generation of new Lewis acid sites.

    Effects of Catalyst Precursor Type and Preparation Conditions, and Solvent Type on Activity and Selectivity of Pt/Sio2 Catalyst in Citral Hydrogenation
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2011) Depboylu, Can Okan; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Akkurt, Sedat
    In this study, citral hydrogenation reaction in liquid phase over silica gel supported Pt catalysts was investigated. It was desired to hydrogenate carbonyl group selectively to produce valuable unsaturated alcohols, namely geraniol and nerol. Pt/SiO2 catalysts were prepared by impregnation method. The effects of parameters investigated in the present study included Pt precursor type (hexachloroplatinic acid (HCLPA), platinum II acetylacetonate (PAA)), catalyst activation temperature (350°C and 450°C), catalyst activation without calcination, catalyst washing with 0.1 M NaOH and solvent type (ethanol, 2-pentanol). The catalysts activities and selectivities were affected by the type of precursor and activation temperature. The maximum citral conversion (89.50 percent) was achieved at lower activation temperature (350°C) with PAA precursor based catalyst. It was observed that higher activation temperature provided lower citral conversion but higher selectivity to unsaturated alcohols; increasing the activation temperature to 450°C decreased citral conversion to 26.10 percent. But selectivity to unsaturated alcohols, geraniol and nerol, increased from 7.06 to 54.60 percent. Catalyst washing and 2-pentanol prevented acetal formation. Catalyst activation without calcination gave lower citral conversion (20.84 percent) and selectivity to unsaturated alcohols (30.00 percent). Copyright © 2011 The Berkeley Electronic Press.

    Hzsm-5 and H-Ferrierite Acidity Modification by Silylation and Their Activities in N-Butene Isomerisation
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2010) Kılıç, Emre; Yılmaz, Selahattin
    H-ZSM5 and H-Ferrierite acidities were modified by chemical liquid deposition using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), silicontetratchloride (SiCl4) and triaminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APTES). All depositions were carried out at room temperature for deposition times of 0.5 and 1 h. Reaction tests were performed in a tubular quartz fixed bed reactor at 375°C for weight hour space velocities of 22 h-1. Surface area and pore volume of the catalysts were decreased upon modifications. The least modification of acidity was achieved by TEOS. However, SiCl4 and 3-APTES deposition modification strongly decreased the number of Bronsted and Lewis acid sites. As the effect of the modification increased, total acidity of the SiCl4 modified catalyst decreased. The catalysts were tested in isomerization of n-butene. Modification decreased the activity of the catalysts, but improvement in selectivity was observed with TEOS deposition. TEOS deposition increased the selectivity of the catalysts; for synthesized H-ZSM5 from 57.95 to 63.74 percent, for commercial H-ZSM5-C from 26.78 to 32.52 percent, and for H-FER from 63.06 to 81.23 percent. However, modification with SiCl4 and 3-APTES decreased both conversion and selectivity of the parent catalysts.

    Hydrogenation of Citral Over Ni and Ni-Sn Catalysts
    (TUBITAK, 2008) Aykaç, Hilal; Yılmaz, Selahattin
    Liquid phase citral hydrogenation over zeolite-supported monometallic Ni and bimetallic Ni-Sn catalysts was studied. The zeolite support materials were Na-Y, Na-mordenite, and clinoptilolite. Ni and Sn contents of the monometallic and bimetallic catalysts were 8.1-9.2 wt% and 0.46 wt%, respectively. The type of the zeolite support affected the activity and selectivity of the catalysts differently. The main product of the citral hydrogenation reaction was citronellal, for both monometallic (84.5% yield) and bimetallic (44.5% yield) catalysts. The addition of promoter increased the selectivity to unsaturated alcohols (geraniol+nerol), i.e. it changed from 0.9% to 6.3% over mordenite and from 0.9% to 2.1% over Na-Y-supported catalysts. Furthermore, activity of the Ni catalysts decreased while the quantity of acetal remained almost constant. Intimate contact between active metal, promoter, and support, and a catalyst with a high concentration of weak acid sites gave high selectivity to geraniol+nerol.

    Hydrogenation of Citral Over Pt and Pt-Sn Catalysts
    (TUBITAK, 2008) Aykaç, Hilal; Yılmaz, Selahattin
    Hydrogenation of citral on monometallic (Pt) and bimetallic (Pt-Sn) catalysts was investigated. It was found that the catalyst activities and product distributions were different over Na-Y and Clino supports. Among monometallic catalysts, Pt/Na-Y was more selective to citronellol (3.9%) and unsaturated alcohols, geraniol and nerol, (14.1%). Sn addition increased the catalyst activities. However, its effect on product distribution differed. Yield of geraniol+nerol changed from 5.1% to 19.7% over Clino. However, selectivity to unsaturated alcohols over Na-Y decreased when it was prepared as a bimetallic catalyst support. Unsaturated alcohol formation was favored when there was a metal support interaction over monometallic catalysts, and metal-promoter interaction over bimetallic catalyst.
