Article Citation - WoS: 14Supercritical Ethanol Drying of Zinc Borates of 2zno Center Dot 3b(2)o(3)center Dot 3h(2)o and Zno Center Dot B2o3 Center Dot 2h(2)o(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Gönen, Mehmet; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, SemraSupercritical ethanol (SCE) drying of zinc borates was investigated to obtain dry zinc borate nanoparticles and to elucidate possible chemical interactions between zinc borates and ethanol. Commercial and synthesized 2ZnO center dot 3B(2)O(3)center dot 3H(2)O and ZnO center dot B2O3 center dot 2H(2)O samples were dried by both conventional and SCE drying methods and the products were compared. Zinc borates were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and helium pycnometer. Zn and B contents of samples were also determined by analytical titration. It was found that zinc borate of ZnO center dot B2O3 center dot 2H(2)O decomposed completely into zinc oxide and boric acid. However, zinc borate having oxide formula of 2ZnO center dot 3B(2)O(3)center dot 3H(2)O decomposed partially to form anhydrous zinc borate, zinc oxide, water and boric acid during the SCE drying carried out at 250 degrees C and 6.5 MPa. Boric acid and water were extracted from both of zinc borates by supercritical ethanol. The extraction of boric acid by ethanol in the SCE drying of zinc borates is an important result which can be utilized in the production of boric acid from water insoluble natural minerals, e.g. colemanite. The boric acid-ethanol solution could be directly utilized in the synthesis of ethyl borate. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Yapılan deneysel çalışmalar sonucunda, UF/NFsıkı/TO membran konfigürasyonu ile arıtımı sonucunda oluşan konsantre akımlarının Fenton, foto-Fenton (UVA-365) ve (UVC-254) prosesleri/batık UF sistemi ile oksidasyonu sonrası, ardışık işletimli foto-Fenton (UVC-254)/UH050 hibrit prosesinin 9.88 H2O2/TOK ve 7.27 H 2 O 2 /Fe 2 + oranlarında, 44 L/m 2 .sa’lik süzüntü akısında %86 KOİ giderimi ile KOİ değeri 167 mg/L’ye ve %74.2 TOK giderimi ile TOK değeri 104 mg/L’ye kadar düşürülerek en iyi performans gösteren yenilikçi proses olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Oluşan membran konsantrelerin oksidasyonu sonrasında kalan konsantrenin tehlikelilik özellikleri, bertaraf/geri kazanım yöntemleri ve yeniden kullanım alternatifleri değerlendirildiğinde tekstil endüstrisi atıksularının foto-Fenton (UVA-365) ile arıtımı sonucunda oluşan konsantre haricinde diğer tüm konsantrelerin tehlikeli özelliğine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Konsantrelerin bertaraf/geri kazanım yöntemleri ayrıntılı olarak değerlendirildiğinde, gerekli düzenlemeler (nem içeriği, susuzlaştırma, uygun debi ve/veya karışım oranları) yapıldığı takdirde bu konsantrelerin düzenli depolama, yakma ve merkezi atıksu arıtma sistemine verme gibi seçeneklerle bertaraf edilebileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 9Bi̇yomalzemelerden İ̇zole Edi̇len Staphylococcus Epidermidis Suşlarinin Yüzey Özelli̇kleri̇ni̇n Beli̇rlenmesi̇(Ankara Mikrobiyoloji Derneği, 2010) Sudağıdan, Mert; Erdem, İlker; Çavuşoğlu, Cengiz; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinThe surface properties of bacteria play an important role on adhesion to the biomaterial surface. In this study, the surface properties of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains isolated from clinically used polymeric biomaterial surfaces were investigated on the basis of zeta potential, hydrophobicity and surface topography. A total of 10 S.epidermidis strains isolated from intravenous catheters (n= 5), endotracheal tubes (n= 3) and central venous catheters (n= 2) which were used in the patients of pulmonary Intensive Care Unit, Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital, were included to the study. Seven of those isolates were biofilm producers, inhabiting biofilm genes, 2 were non-biofilm producers, however, inhabiting biofilm genes, and 1 was non-biofilm producer, inhabiting no biofilm genes. Zeta potential analysis have been performed in 3 different buffers (phosphate-buffered saline, 1 mM potassium chloride and 1 mM potassium phosphate buffer) and at different pH values (pH 4.1-8.2), in order to simulate in vivo environment of the biomaterials. Hydrophobicities of the strains were examined by bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon (BATH) test and the surface topography of biofilms and slime layers were visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. It was found that all strains have negative zeta potential values (surface charge) in all buffers and pH values. In hydrophobicity analysis, the highest value (86%) was determined for non-biofilm forming S.epidermidis strain YT-169b (endotracheal tube isolate) and the lowest hydrophobicity (2.5%) was determined for biofilm forming S.epidermidis strain YT-212 (central venous catheter isolate). Biofilm and slime layers of the strains were imaginated by AFM and SEM analysis in ?m scale. SEM analysis showed that bacteria highly adhered to rough surfaces on biomaterial surfaces and the produced slime layers covered the surface of bacteria. In conclusion, elucidating the surface properties of opportunistic pathogens in different physiologic buffers will give important clues for the production of non-adhesive materials and antibacterial surfaces for those bacteria. It was also estimated that designing the surface of the biomaterial to have negative surface charge in the body and to be as smooth as possible will hamper biofilm formation.Conference Object Effect of Some Physical, and Chemical Variables on Flocculation and Sediment Behaviour(A.A. Balkema Publishers, 2000) Polat, Hürriyet; Polat, Mehmet; İpekoğlu, ÜnerEffect of some chemical and physical variables on the settling rate, final sediment height, sediment viscosity and supernatant turbidity of a clay sample was studied using various polyacrylamide type flocculants. Increasing flocculant concentration significantly increased both the settling rate and sediment viscosity. More importantly, changes in the final sediment, height, hence the packing density, was minimal for all the conditions tested once the sediment was allowed to consolidate. Also, the mode of addition of the polymer, at once or continuous, did not seem to affect any of the parameters measured. Conditioning time seemed to alter the settling rate at low polymer concentrations, but had no effect at high polymer concentrations. However, increasing the conditioning time caused a decrease in the sediment viscosity. Different types of the polyacrylimides generated different settling rates at a given concentration, but the final sediment height was nearly independent of polymer type.Conference Object Predicting Drying in Solvent-Coated Polymeric Films(American Chemical Society, 2000) Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Duda, John Larry[No abstract available]Conference Object Visualization of Equilibrium Fcc Catalyst Surface by Afm and Sem-Eds(American Chemical Society, 2003) Bayraktar, Oğuz; Erdoğan, G.; Kugler, Edwin L.[No abstract available]Conference Object Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities of Some Turkish Plant Extracts(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Altıok, Evren; Asbagh, L.

However, as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is too stable in a body, wear debris may accumulate and cause biological response such as bone absorption and loosening of prosthesis. In this study, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene samples were Ag and Ag + N hybrid ion implanted by using MEVVA ion implantation technique to improve its surface properties. Samples were implanted with a fluence of 10(17) ion/cm(2) and extraction voltage of 30 kV. Implanted and unimplanted samples were investigated by thermo-gravimetry analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM) and contact Angle measurement. Thermal characterization results showed that the ion bombardment induced an increase in the % crystallinity, onset and termination degradation temperatures of UHMWPE. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
