Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Epoxidation of Soybean Oil Over Titanium or Niobium Incorporated Sba-15 and Sulfated Lanthanum Titania Silicate Catalysts(Elsevier, 2022) Kalkandelen, Mustafa; Yılmaz, SelahattinMesoporous 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.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Synthesis 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 HakkıHerein, 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.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Effect of Cnt Incorporation on Pan/Ppy Nanofibers Synthesized by Electrospinning Method(TÜBİTAK, 2020) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Tanoğlu, Metin; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Selamet, YusufIn 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.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 39Aptamer-Based Electrochemical Biosensing Strategy Toward Human Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using Polyacrylonitrile/Polypyrrole Nanofibers(Springer, 2020) Kıvrak, Ezgi; İnce Yardımcı, Atike; İlhan, Recep; Ballar Kırmızıbayrak, Petek; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Kara, PınarIn the present study, a sensitive electrochemical aptamer-based biosensing strategy for human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) detection was proposed using nanofiber-modified disposable pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs). The composite nanofiber was comprised of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polypyrrole (PPy) polymers, and fabrication of the nanofibers was accomplished using electrospinning process onto PGEs. Development of the nanofibers was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The high-affinity 5 '-aminohexyl-linked aptamer was immobilized onto a PAN/PPy composite nanofiber-modified sensor surface via covalent bonding strategy. After incubation with NSCLC living cells (A549 cell line) at 37.5 degrees C, the recognition between aptamer and target cells was monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The selectivity of the aptasensor was evaluated using nonspecific human cervical cancer cells (HeLa) and a nonspecific aptamer sequence. The proposed electrochemical aptasensor showed high sensitivity toward A549 cells with a detection limit of 1.2 x 10(3)cells/mL. The results indicate that our label-free electrochemical aptasensor has great potential in the design of aptasensors for the diagnostics of other types of cancer cells with broad detection capability in clinical analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Heavy Naphtha Upgrading by Catalytic Reforming Over Novel Bi-Functional Zeolite Catalyst(Springer, 2018) Ahmedzeki, Nada S.; Al-Tabbakh, Ban A.; Antwan, Maher B.; Yılmaz, SelahattinNaphtha 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.Article Effective Synthesis of Cetyl Palmitate Over Co-Precipitated Wo3-Zro2 Catalysts(Springer Verlag, 2018) Mutlu, Vahide N.; Yılmaz, SelahattinThis 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.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 17Cnt Incorporated Polyacrilonitrile/Polypyrrole Nanofibers as Keratinocytes Scaffold(Trans Tech Publications, 2019) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Aypek, Hande; Öztürk, Özgür; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Özçivici, Engin; Meşe, Gülistan; Selamet, YusufPolypyrrole (PPy) is an attractive scaffold material for tissue engineering with its non-toxic and electrically conductive properties. There has not been enough information about PPy usage in skin tissue engineering. The aim of this study is to investigate biocompatibility of polyacrilonitrile (PAN)/PPy nanofibrous scaffold for human keratinocytes. PAN/PPy bicomponent nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning, in various PPy concentrations and with carbon nanotube (CNT) incorporation. The average diameter of electrospun nanofibers decreased with increasing PPy concentration. Further, agglomerated CNTs caused beads and disordered parts on the surface of nanofibers. Biocompatibility of these PAN/PPy and PAN/PPy/CNT scaffolds were analyzed in vitro. Both scaffolds provided adhesion and proliferation of keratinocytes. Nanofiber diameter did not significantly influence the morphology of cells. However, with increasing number of cells, cells stayed among nanofibers and this affected their shape and size. In this study, we demonstrated that PAN/PPy and PAN/PPy/CNT scaffolds enabled the growth of keratinocytes, showing their biocompatibility.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Synthesis of Butyl Glucoside Over Sulphated Zr-Sba and Tungstophosphoric Acid Incorporated Sba-15 Catalysts(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Mutlu, Nahide Nuran; Yılmaz, SelahattinGlycosidation of glucose with n-butanol was studied over sulphated Zr incorporated SBA-15 and tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) incorporated SBA-15 catalysts. The catalysts were prepared with different Zr, TPA and SO4 amounts via hydrothermal synthesis. SBA-15 structure was preserved and Zr and TPA were successfully incorporated. Sulphation improved the acidity of Zr-SBA-15 and the ratio of Brønsted to Lewis acid sites (B/L) increased. Thus, much higher butyl glucoside yields (about 70 %) were obtained over SO4/Zr-SBA-15 catalysts. However, 15 % activity loss was observed after 2 re-use due to sulphate leaching. TPA-SBA-15 catalysts had the highest B/L and provided very high catalytic activity with butyl glucoside yields above 95 %. The initial rate of butyl glucoside formation over TPA-SBA-15 catalysts were close to that of H2SO4. These catalysts were found stable and reusable. Reaction temperature and catalysts amount was studied as the reaction parameters over the most active and selective catalyst. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Fe 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 CeydaThis 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.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 31Esterification of Cetyl Alcohol With Palmitic Acid Over Wo3/Zr-sba-15 and Zr-Sba Catalysts(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Mutlu, Nahide Nuran; Yılmaz, SelahattinTungsten loaded and Zr incorporated SBA-15 catalysts (WO3/Zr-SBA-15 and Zr-SBA-15) were developed for esterification of cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid. The influence of the Zr content, tungsten loading amount, calcination temperature, feed composition and catalyst amount has been studied. Higher tungsten loading decreased the acidity due to formation of WO3 crystals whereas calcination temperature enhanced the acidity by favoring the dispersion of WOx species. Activities of the catalyst changed depending on their amount of Brønsted sites and total number of acid sites. Zr-SBA-15 catalyst which had the highest amount of Brønsted acid sites gave maximum cetyl palmitate yield (63.1%). This catalyst retained its activity up to 3 reuse cycles without significant loss of activity.
