    Experimental Investigation of Refractive Index Measurement of Common Solvents and Aqueous Solutions in the Infrared Wavelengths
    (2018) Yüksel, K.; İde, C
    We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a fast and simple technique to measure refractive index of liquids. A commercial Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) was implemented for interrogating sensor tips from a remote location. The system uses Fresnel reflected light from standard single mode fiber tips as sensing points without requiring any chemical coating, delicate fiber components, and/or sophisticated architecture at the sensor head. We reported new measurements of refractive indices of common solvents and solutions at both 1550 nm and 1625 nm. The precision of the proposed measurement system was found to be in the order of 10-4. The experimental results have been validated by the way of theoretical calculations.

    Zinc Borate Chemical Garden and Zinc Borate Powders From Tincal Mineral and Zinc Sulfate Heptahydrate
    (Turkish Energy Nuclear and Mining Research Institute, 2021) Gönen, Mehmet; Alp, Fatma Burcu; Savrık, Sevdiye; Balkose, Devrim
    The formation of the first membrane, the swelling of the crystal by incoming water from the semipermeable membrane and the formation of irregular shaped branches were observed by optical microscopy, when zinc sulfate heptahydrate crystals were immersed in saturated borax solution. The powders obtained by mixing dilute aqueous borax and zinc sulfate solutions had B, O, Na, S and Zn elements. Presence of $Na Zn_{1/2}B_4O_7.xH_2O$ was indicated by EDX analysis. The molar ratio of $B_2O_3/ZnO$ in powders was around 2. FTIR analysis indicated the ratio of absorbance values of asymmetric stretching vibrations of B(3)-O at 1351 cm-1 to that of B(4)-O at 1026 cm-1 increased with their heating time at 90ºC during their preparation. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated the presence of $Zn(OH)_2and Zn_4(OH)_6(SO_4)·4H_2O$. The zinc borate compounds in the powders were not crystalline since no sharp peaks related to zinc borates were present in x-ray diffraction diagram. There were two mass loss steps in TG curves of the powders. The first step at 150-350ºC and the second step at 700-950ºC were due to elimination of water and due to decomposition of sulfate ions respectively. The submicron powders were a mixture of zinc borate, $Zn(OH)_2, Zn_4(OH)_6(SO_4)·4H_2O and Na Zn_{1/2}B_4O_7.xH_2O$ and they could be used as lubricant additive due to their small particle size of 600 nm.

    Lubricants Having Zinc Borate by Homogeneous Precipitation and Span 60 in Spindle Oil
    (Turkish Energy Nuclear and Mining Research Institute, 2021) Gönen, Mehmet; Alp, Burcu; Savrık, Sevdiye; Balköse, Devrim; Alp, Fatma Burcu; Balkose, Devrim
    Nano particles of zinc borate were obtained by homogeneous precipitation method which is based on dissolving zinc borate in ammonia and precipitating it as nano particles by slow evaporation of ammonia. The synthesized zinc borates were characterized by advanced analytical techniques. Zinc borate nano particles were used as a lubricant additive to spindle oil having Span 60 dispersant. The particles were well dispersed in spindle oil as shown by optical microscopy of the oils. Four ball tests of the lubricants indicated zinc borate lowered (61.8%) the wear scar diameter significantly. The hardness of wear surfaces of test balls was reduced from 688 HV to 618 HV and presence of zinc borate particles embedded on the surface indicated a flexible skin was formed. Therefore the pressure was decreased due to increase of the contact area of the balls. The surface roughness was also decreased from 35.63 nm to 27.60 nm by the addition of zinc borate to spindle oil having Span 60. Zinc borate prepared by homogeneous precipitation technique lowered the wear of the surfaces that rub to each other.

    İzmir’de Bir Osmanlı Dönemi Konağının Tavan ve Duvar Resimlerinin Yapım Tekniği ve Malzeme Özellikleri
    (Gazi Üniversitesi, 2021) Şerifaki, Kerem; İpekoğlu, Başak
    Kültür varlıklarımızın en hassas bileşenlerinden olan duvar resimlerinin korunmasında, resimlerin özgün malzeme özellikleri ve yapım tekniğinin belirlenmesi önemli aşamalardan biridir. Bu çalışma kapsamında İzmir Bayraklı’da yer alan Yahya Hayati Paşa Konağı’nın duvar ve tavan resimlerinin yapım tekniği ve malzeme özellikleri 2010 yılında yapıya ağır hasar veren yangın öncesinde alınan örnekler üzerinde gerçekleştirilen analizler ile belirlenmiştir. Duvar resimlerinin sıva ve astar tabakalarının, boyayı oluşturan bağlayıcı malzeme ile pigmentlerin mikro-yapısal özellikleri, mineralojik ve kimyasal kompozisyonları; optik mikroskop, kızılötesi spektroskopisi, X ışınları kırınım cihazı (XRD) ve EDS üniteli taramalı elektron mikroskobu kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma, resimlerin kireç sıva üzerinde yer alan organik bağlayıcı ve çeşitli beyaz pigmentlerden oluşan hazırlık tabakaları üzerinde yağlı boya tekniği ile uygulandığını göstermiştir. Resimlerin yapımında bitkisel yağın rengini beyazlatmak amacıyla çinko oksit (ZnO), kurşun beyazı $(PbCO_3)$ ve baryum beyazı $(BaSO_4)$ kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Resimlerin yapımında kırmızı için vermiyon (HgS), mavi için ultramarin $(N_{a6-10}Al_6Si_6O_{24}S_{2-4})$, yeşil için zümrüt yeşili $(3Cu(AsO_2)_2.Cu(CH_3COO)_2)$ ve kahverengi için kırmızı okra $(Fe2O_3$, kil mineralleri) kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu ana pigmentler dışında, dolgu malzemesi olarak kullanılan baryum beyazı (BaSO4) ve kurşun kırmızısı pigmentinin $(Pb_3O_4)$bozulma ürünlerinden biri olan anglezit (PbSO4) tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma, yanarak yok olmuş bir kültür varlığının süslemelerinin yapım tekniği ve malzeme özelliklerinin belgelenmesi ile yapının onarımı aşamasına veri oluşturacaktır.

    Nano Zinc Borate as a Lubricant Additive
    (Turkish Chemical Society, 2018) Savrık, Sevdiye Atakul; Üstün, Fatma; Alp, Burcu; Balköse, Devrim
    Lubricants consist of base oils and chemical additives such as dispersants, surfactants, oxidation inhibitors, and antiwear agents. Organic and inorganic boron-based additives increase wear resistance and decreases friction. Hexagonal boron nitride and metal borates are used for this purpose. Zinc borate is a synthetic hydrated metal borate. The production techniques of zinc borate generally include the reaction between zinc source materials (zinc oxide, zinc salts, zinc hydroxide) and the boron source materials (boric acid and borax). The nano zinc borate particles were prepared from zinc nitrate and borax in the present study by using low initial zinc and borate concentrations and low temperature to prevent particle growth. The templates span 60 and PEG 4000 were used to control the particle size. The particles were separated from mother liquor by centrifugation, washed with ethanol, dried and ground and used as additive to base oil. The particles have H2O and B(3)-O vibrations in their FTIR spectra. The empirical formula of the nanoparticles was approximately 3ZnO.2B2O3.4H2O from EDX and TGA analysis. X-ray diffraction diagram indicated the particles were in amorphous state. When the nanoparticles were added to light neutral oil the wear scar diameter and friction coefficient was lowered 50% and 20% respectively.
