Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2A Study of Chemical and Physical Changes During Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Film Production(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2003) Ülkü, Semra; Balköse, Devrim; Arkış, Esen; Sipahioğlu, MuzafferPolypropylene films obtained during the biaxial orientation process were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy. Inorganic particles with Al, Si, Na, Mg, Ti, K,O elements were present in biaxially oriented films. Polypropylene had molecules with both isotactic configuration and it was crystallized only in isotactic α phase. The films drawn in one and two directions had unit cells with b axis parallel to surface of the films. The antioxidants present in the films were consumed during processing, preventing polypropylene oxidation in air at high processing temperatures. One surface of the films contained less polypropylene and had functional groups rich in oxygen such as C=O and COO.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 20Preparation and Characterization of Antibacterial Cobalt-Exchanged Natural Zeolite/Poly(vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogels(Springer Verlag, 2014) Narin, Güler; Bulut Albayrak, Çisem; Ülkü, SemraIn the present study, potential application of the local clinoptilolite-rich natural zeolite in formulation of antibacterial hydrogels was investigated. The zeolite powder exchanged with cobalt(II) ions was used in preparation of the zeolite/poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel films in different amounts. The films were physically crosslinked by the freezing-thawing method and characterized for their crystallinity, surface and cross sectional morphology, chemical composition, thermal behaviour, mechanical properties, swelling and dissolution behaviours, and antibacterial activities against a Gram-negative bacteria. The films with 0.48 wt% and higher cobalt-exchanged zeolite contents showed antibacterial activity. Addition of the zeolite powder in the formulations did not cause significant changes in the other properties of the films.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Comparison of Uniform and Non-Uniform Pressure Approaches Used To Analyze an Adsorption Process in a Closed Type Adsorbent Bed(Springer Verlag, 2013) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraHeat and mass transfer in an annular adsorbent bed filled with silica gel particles is numerically analyzed by uniform and non-uniform pressure approaches. The study is performed for silica gel-water pair, particle radius from 0.025 to 1 mm and two bed radii of 10 and 40 mm. For uniform pressure approach, the energy equation for the bed and the mass transfer equation for the particle are solved. For non-uniform pressure approach, the continuity and Darcy equations due to the motion of water vapor in the bed are added, and four coupled partial differential equations are solved. The changes of the adsorbate concentration, pressure, and temperature in the bed throughout the adsorption process for both approaches are obtained and compared. The obtained results showed that the particle size plays an important role on the validity of uniform pressure approach. Due to the interparticle mass transfer resistance, there is a considerable difference between the results of the uniform pressure and non-uniform pressure approaches for the beds with small size of particles such as 0.025 mm.Article Citation - WoS: 47Citation - Scopus: 49Characterization of Hollow Chemical Garden Fibers From Metal Salts and Water Glass(Springer Verlag, 2002) Balköse, Devrim; Özkan, Fehime; Köktürk, Uğur; Ulutan, Sevgi; Ülkü, Semra; Nişli, GürelHollow fibers formed from water glass and metal salts of IIA(Ca), VIIB(Fe, Co, Ni) and IB(Cu) groups were characterised in this study. Fragile fibres obtained herein broke down into small pieces during isolation and drying. Quantitative information about morphology, chemical composition and surface structure of the fibres were obtained. The diameter and wall thickness of the fibers were around 50 μ and 3 μ. respectively. They had particulate inner and smooth outer surfaces. Fibers had variable composition with metal (II) oxide/SiO2 ratio in the range 0.31 to 1.02. While group VIIB metal (II) fibres were amorphous, group IIA and IB metal (II) fibers were partially crystalline All the fibres had pores both in micro pore and meso pore region. The B.E.T. surface area fron N2 adsorption data was in the range of 10-249 m3 g-1 and 8-176 m2 g-1 from Langmuir an B.E.T. models respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 19Flexible Poly(vinyl Chloride)-Zeolite Composites for Dye Adsorption From Aqueous Solutions(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 1996) Balköse, Devrim; Ulutan, Sevgi; Çakıcıoğlu Özkan, Seher Fehime; Ülkü, Semra; Köktürk, UğurFlexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) composites having natural zeolite clinoptillolite were prepared by plastisol-plastigel technology. Adsoption of methylene blue on each raw material and on composites was studied both from an equilibrium and a rate approach. It was observed that the adsorption capacity of zeolite decreased when it was embedded in composites. The equilibrium uptake of methylene blue increased with an increasing zeolite fraction in composites. Methylene blue was adsorbed from a 0.02 g·cm-3 aqueous solution slowly, but was nearly adsorbed completely with a composite having a 0.3 volume fraction of zeolite. The effective diffusion coefficient of methylene blue in composites was of the order of 10-13 m2·s-1 and decreased with increasing filler fraction.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Use of Clinoptilolite in Ethanol Dehydration(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 1996) Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Ülkü, SemraClinoptilolite-type natural zeolite, which exists in various regions of Turkey, has been experimentally studied. For the ethanol-water-local clinoptilolite system, uptake and breakthrough curves were determined under a nitrogen gas atmosphere. In adsorption kinetics and adsorption equilibrium studies, the effects of particle size, temperature and, amount of zeolite on the uptake rate have been investigated. The breakthrough curves for four different flow rates of ethanol and three different bed heights were determined in dynamic column studies. The results of the experiments show that intraparticle diffusion is the main resistance. The local clinoptilolite is a promising adsorbent for water adsorption from aqueous ethanol.
