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.
