Conference Object Heavy Metal Removal Using Natural Zeolite Packed Ion Exchange Column(American Chemical Society, 2008) Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, Semra[No abstract available]Article Citation - WoS: 60Citation - Scopus: 66Preparation and Characterization of Calcium Stearate Powders and Films Prepared by Precipitation and Langmuir-Blodgett Techniques(American Chemical Society, 2010) Gönen, Mehmet; Öztürk, Serdar; Balköse, Devrim; Okur, Salih; Ülkü, SemraThe preparation of calcium stearate (CaSt2) using precipitation and Langmuir-Blodgett techniques was investigated in this study. While sodium stearate and calcium chloride were used in the precipitation process, calcium stearate nanofilms were produced from stearic acid and calcium chloride in sodium borate buffer with the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicated carboxylate bands at 1577 and 1543 cm-1 in equal intensity in the powder form, but the films had a higher intensity 1577 cm-1 band than the 1543 cm-1 band. This showed the calcium ions associated with the COO- ions in the monodendate and bidendate structures in powders, and it was mainly in the bidendate structure in films. While characteristic peaks of CaSt2 at 2θ values of 6.40° and 19.58° were obtained in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the dried powdered product, no sharp peaks were present in the 13 layer CaSt2 film. From scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs, it was seen that calcium stearate powder had lamellar structure and the average particle size was 600 nm. The AFM picture of the CaSt2 film indicated the surface was not smooth with a peak to valley distance of 6 nm. © 2010 American Chemical Society.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 15Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Drying of Methanol-Zinc Borate Mixtures(American Chemical Society, 2009) Gönen, Mehmet; Balköse, Devrim; Gupta, Ram B.; Ülkü, SemraSupercritical carbon dioxide (CO 2) drying of zinc borate species was investigated to evaluate possible chemical alterations in the product during the drying. Methanol-wetted zinc borates produced either from borax decahydrate and zinc nitrate hexahydrate (2ZnO · 3B 2O 3 ·7H 2O) or from zinc oxide and boric acid (2ZnO · 3B 2O 3 ·3H 2O) were dried by both conventional and supercritical carbon dioxide drying methods. Zinc borate samples dried by both techniques were characterized using analytical titration, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that while zinc borate obtained from zinc oxide and boric acid did not have any chemical interaction with CO 2, carbonates were formed on the surface of zinc borate obtained from borax decahydrate and zinc nitrate hexahydrate. The main factor for the carbonate formation during supercritical CO 2 drying is anticipated as the structural differences of zinc borate species. CO 2 is a nonpolar solvent, and it does not usually react with polar substances unless water is present in the medium. While 2ZnO · 3B 2O 3 ·3H 2O had three bound OH groups, 2ZnO · 3B 2O 3 ·7H 2O had five bound OH groups and one mole of water of crystallization. It is proposed that the water of crystallization reacts with CO 2 forming carbonic acid. Then, carbonic acid, which is stronger than boric acid, substitutes borate ions from their zinc salts.Article Citation - WoS: 72Citation - Scopus: 87Adsorption of Olive Leaf (olea Europaea L.) Antioxidants on Silk Fibroin(American Chemical Society, 2007) Bayçın, Deniz; Altıok, Evren; Ülkü, Semra; Bayraktar, OğuzThe adsorption isotherms of oleuropein and rutin were evaluated at different temperatures, pH values, and solid/liquid ratios. The experimental data of adsorption isotherms were well fitted to a Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities were determined as 108 mg of oleuropein/g of silk fibroin and 21 mg of rutin/g of silk fibroin. After adsorption of oleuropein and rutin, the antioxidant capacity of silk fibroin increased from 1.93 to 3.61 mmol of TEAC/g. Silk fibroin also gained antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae after adsorption of olive leaf antioxidants. In a desorption process, 81% of rutin and 85% of oleuropein were removed from the adsorbent surface in 70% aqueous ethanol solution. Consequently, silk fibroin was found to be a promising biomaterial for the production of functional food or dietary supplements and for the purification of oleuropein and rutin from olive leaf extracts.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 35Effect of Temperature and Time on Zinc Borate Species Formed From Zinc Oxide and Boric Acid in Aqueous Medium(American Chemical Society, 2007) Eltepe, H. Emre; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, SemraThe effect of temperature and time of heating of zinc oxide and boric acid in aqueous medium on product type, dehydration behavior, crystal morphology, and structure was investigated for the production of flame retardant and smoke suppressant zinc borate. Two different products dehydrated at 140 and 350°C were obtained and characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 43Zinc Stearate Production by Precipitation and Fusion Processes(American Chemical Society, 2005) Gönen, Mehmet; Balköse, Devrim; İnal, Fikret; Ülkü, SemraIn this study, the production of ZnSt2 using sodium stearate and zinc sulfate in a precipitation process, and stearic acid and zinc oxide in a fusion process, was investigated with regard to product purity. In the fusion process, an increase in mixing rate decreased the induction time occurring at the beginning of the reaction. While the melting point of the zinc stearate prepared by the precipitation process was found to be about 122°C by optical microscopy, it was slightly lower than 122°C for zinc stearate produced by the fusion process. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated onset of melting at 120°C and 118°C for samples prepared by precipitation and fusion processes, respectively. Characteristic peaks of ZnSt2 were present in XRD patterns of the products obtained by both processes. From SEM micrographs, it was seen that zinc stearate obtained by both processes had lamellar structure.
