    Development of Chemometrics Method Based on Infrared Spectroscopy for the Determination of Cement Composition and Process Optimization [article]
    (ACG Publications, 2022) Özdemir, Durmuş; Gümüş, Mehmet Gökhan; Tepeli, Dilek
    In combination with a multivariate calibration method, FTIR-ATR spectroscopy was presented as a rapid method for the determination of some major oxides (CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3) and minor oxides (MgO, SO4, Na2O, and K2O) in diverse materials (raw material, raw meal, additives, clinker, and types of cement) in cement manufacturing. The FTIR spectroscopy based multivariate models were generated by taking X-ray fluorescence (XRF) as a reference method. Among a number of spectral preprocessing methods, extended multiplicative scatter correction (EMSC) yielded the best PLS models. The standard error of prediction (SEP) for the optimal FTIR based PLS models ranged from 0.10 to 2.07 (w/w%), and the regression coefficient (R2) ranged from 0.95 to 0.99 for PLS predicted vs XRF reference plots. Statistical evaluation of the both methods was carried out by paired t-test at the 95% confidence level and the results showed that the FTIR-ATR combined with PLS model results are consistent with the XRF reference measurements for all the oxides studied. Compared to the XRF method, which can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour for each measurement, the proposed method is faster, cheaper, and safer. The presented technology also allows rapid monitoring of a cement factory production line.

    Structural and Functional Characterization of Solution, Gel, and Aggregated Forms of Trypsin in Organic Solvent-Assisted and Ph-Induced Phase Changes
    (Türk Biyokimya Derneği, 2015) Ceylan, Çağatay; Karaçiçek, Bilge
    In this study the effect of three different physicochemical parameters on pHtriggered gelation and aggregation of bovine pancreatic trypsin changes and structural and functional changes in these changes in alcohol-water mixtures were studied. Methods: Trypsin gelation times were studied using inverted tube method. Trypsin stability was studied using trypsin enzyme assay. Protein secondary structural changes were monitored using FTIR spectroscopy. Gel and aggregate macrostructures and morphologies were viewed using Scanning Electron Microscopy. Results: The solution phase was observed in the absence of both NaOH and CaCl2. The gel phase was observed in the absence of the either. The aggregate phase was observed in the presence of the both agents all depending on trypsin concentrations used. Trypsin stability studies showed that there were a nearly 53 and 32% specific activity losses after the gelation and aggregation processes. According to FTIR studies β–sheet structure in 1637 cm-1 band disappeared in trypsin gel and trypsin aggregates. Increases in α–helix structure in 1651 cm-1 in trypsin gel and aggregates were observed. Iodoacetamide delayed the gelation and prevented the aggregation indicating the importance of intermolecular disulfides in the both processes. Conclusion: Trypsin gelation was caused by the denaturation of the protein three dimensional structures. The gel and aggregate formation indicates a secondary structural change towards α–helix structure formation at the expense of β–sheet structure and formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds.
