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.

Clinoptilolite, a natural zeolitic tuff, was used as the filling material into the composites. Effect of both pure clinoptilolite and silver ion exchanged form of clinoptilolite addition on the thermal degradation kinetics of polypropylene composites was studied by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetry analysis (TGA) techniques. Polymer degradation was evaluated by using DSC with heating rates of 5, 10, and 20 degrees C/ min from room temperature up to 500 degrees C. Silver concentration (4.36, 27.85 and 183.8 mg Ag/g zeolite) was the selected parameter under consideration. From the DSC curves, it was observed that the heat of degradation values of the composites containing 2-6% silver exchanged zeolites (321-390 kJ/kg) were larger compared to that of the pure PP free of silver and zeolite (258 kJ/kg). From the DSC results it was confirmed that PP-zeolite composites can be used at higher temperatures compared to the pure PP polymer because of its higher thermal stability. The thermal decomposition activation energies of the composites were calculated by using both the Kissenger and Ozawa models. The values predicted from these two equations were in close agreement. From the TGA curves, it was found that zeolite addition into the PP matrix speeds down the decomposition reaction, however, silver exchanged zeolite addition into the matrix accelerates the reaction. The higher the silver concentration, the lower the thermal decomposition activation energies were obtained. As a result, PP was found to be much more susceptible to thermal decomposition in the presence of silver exchanged zeolite.Article Citation - WoS: 3Validation on of Local Thermal Equilibrium and Uniform Pressure Assumptions for an Isobaric Adsorption Process in an Adsorbent Bed(Türk Isı Bilimi ve Tekniği Derneği, 2016) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraBu çalışmanın amacı, adsorbent yatakta ısı ve kütle transferini analiz etmek için kullanılan yerel ısıl denge ve sabit basınç yaklaşımı varsayımların geçerliliğini araştırmaktır. İçerisinde silika jel partikülleri içeren bir yatak ile su kabı olan bir deney düzeneği tasarlanmış ve adsorpsiyon sürecinde yatağın içinde farklı yerlerde yerel sıcaklık ve basınç ölçülmüştür.

Doğal zeolitlerin hayvanlarda biyokütle arttırıcı besi katkı maddesi, insanlarda ülser tedavisinde mide asitliğini tamponlayıcı, asitliği düşürücü ilaç gibi değişik kullanım alanları mevcuttur. Değişik sağlık alanlarında kullanımlarından dolayı, zeolitlerin yapısal stabilitesinin sindirim sırasında belirlenmesi; olası olumlu veya olumsuz etkileşimleri anlamak açısından önem taşımaktadır. Gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, yapay sindirim sırasında zeolitte meydana gelebilecek olası morfolojik değişimlerin incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla zeolitin ABTS ile radikal sönümleme kapasitesi araştırılmış, yapay sindirim denemeleri gerçekleştirilerek de uygulama süreci sonrası yapıda olası değişimler ve adsorpsiyonlar taramalı elektron mikroskobu, FTIR, XRD analizleri ile incelenmiştir. 3g/100ml zeolitin ABTS radikalini %45 inhibe ettiği bulunmuştur. Taramalı elektron mikroskobu deneyleri sonucunda yapay sindirilmiş örneklerin yüzey morfolojisinde değişim gözlenmemiştir. Element analizleri yapısal kaybın olmadığını, Al ve Si elementlerinin ağırlıkça yüzdelerinin, kontrol örnekleriyle (Al:8.1; Si: 39) sindirilmiş örneklerde (Al:8.2; Si: 38.3) yaklaşık aynı olduğunu göstermiştir. Infrared spektrum (IR) ve X-ray ışını kırınımı analizleri sonuçları ise bu bulguları doğrulamıştır. Ayrıca taramalı elektron mikroskobu ve IR spektrum sonuçları yapay sindirim ortamındaki maddelerin, zeolit yüzeyinde adsorplanmadıklarıını göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak doğal zeolitler, yapay sindirim sırasında yapısal stabilitelerini kaybetmemektedirler.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Antioxidative and Antimicrobial Screening of 19 Commercial Essential Oils in Turkey(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2009) Bulut, Çisem; Altıok, Evren; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Ülkü, SemraPlant oils have been used for wide variety purposes for many years in Turkey. These essential oils have usage in many areas such as perfumery, cosmetic, food flavoring and folkloric medicine. In the study, 19 commercial essential oils were studied by means of antibacterial and antioxidant capacity. Antibacterial test was performed against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, K. pneumoniae and E. coli using standard disc diffusion method. Penicillin, gentamicin and vancomycin discs were also included. Inhibition zones (mm) were recorded to indicate antibacterial property. Penicillin (44 mm) and vancomycin (14 mm) could inhibit only S. aureus. Except essential oils of Juniperus nana (Ardiç), Ocimum basilicum (Feslegen), Urtica dioica (Isirgan), Foeniculum vulgare (Rezene) ressential oils indicated antimicrobial activity against some of the test microorganims. The most active essential oil was found as Thymus serpyllum (Kekik). It indicated highest inhibition zones for other microorganisms among others. Antioxidant capacities were measured using photochemiluminescence (PCL) method. The highest antioxidant activity was measured for Dianthus caryophyllus (Karanfil) as 547.781 103 ug trolox/mL of oil. It was followed by Thymus serpyllum (Kekik), Lilium candidum (Zambak) and Matricaria chamomilla (Papatya). Especially, Thymus serpyllum and Dianthus caryophyllus have significant antimicrobial and antioxidant capacity therefore it could be suggested for further investigations and applications.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 10Water and Water Vapor Sorption Studies in Poly(propylene)-Zeolite Composites(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2003) Pehlivan, Hilal; Özmıhçı, Filiz; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, SemraWater and water vapor sorption to porous poly(propylene)zeolite composites prepared by hot pressing have been studied as a function of zeolite loading. This work presents the first report on the effect of the zeolite as a filler on the water sorption properties of PP composites. Water swelling experiments were conducted at 25°C using pure PP and PP-zeolite film samples having different zeolite loadings (6-40 wt%). Since PP is a hydrophobic polymer, it does not sorp any water, but the composites having 10, 20, 30, and 40% zeolite sorbed 0.63, 1.00, 1.72 and 3.74 wt% water, respectively. The zeolite itself at the same conditions sorbed 24.5 wt% water. As the filler loading in the composites increased, equilibrium uptake values increased too. On the other hand, water vapor sorption and kinetics has been studied using a Cahn 2000 gravimetric sorption system. Within in the range 0.35-0.95%, water vapor was adsorbed by the composites containing 10-40 wt% zeolite. Experimental effective water vapor diffusivities of the composite films were about one order of magnitude higher than the experimental water diffusion coefficient in composites. The transport of water in composites was slower than that in the liquid water due to the longer diffusion pathway and adsorption on the surface of the composites. Although the liquid water may fill all the voids in the composite, water vapor is adsorbed on the surface of the zeolite only.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Dynamic Heat of Adsorption of Water Vapour on Zeolitic Tuff and Zeolite 4a by Flow Microcalorimetry(Scibulcom Ltd., 2006) Ülkü, Semra; Balköse, Devrim; Alp, BurcuIn this study a practical method for measurement of heat of adsorption of water vapour on adsorbents was developed to evaluate the feasibility of substitution of a zeolitic tuff with zeolite 4A in air drying and heat pumps. The change of heat of adsorption with inlet humidity of the air passing through the calorimeter was investigated. Samples were characterised by X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis techniques. Specific heats of the zeolitic tuff and zeolite 4A were measured as 1.01 and 1.42 J/g K, respectively. Adsorption isotherms fitted to the Langmuir model with regression coefficient 0.93 and 0.94 with monolayer capacities, Xm 9.68% and 26.35% H 2O for the zeolitic tuff and zeolite 4A, respectively. The energy storage intensity was measured in the range 48-97 J/g and 464-201 J/g for the tuff and zeolite 4A, respectively. Heat of adsorption of zeolite decreased with surface coverage and it was in the range 1750-2835 and 1104-2640 J/g H 2O for the zeolitic tuff and zeolite 4A, respectively.
