    Liquid Phase Transformation of ?-Pinene Over Beta Zeolites Containing Aluminium or Boron, Titanium and Vanadium as Lattice Ions
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Gündüz, Gönül; Dimitrova, Raina D.; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Dimitrov, Ljubomir
    Beta zeolites with different modules (SiO2/Al2 O3) and containing B, Ti or V in lattice positions were synthesised by different methods and tested as catalysts in liquid phase transformation of α-pinene at 100 °C in a batch reactor. It was established that the hydrogen forms of Beta samples with a SiO2/Al2O3 module of about 55-66 and containing both micro- and mesopores displayed high catalytic activity in liquid phase isomerization of α-pinene. Samples with boron, titanium or vanadium, as lattice ions possess insignificant catalytic activity.

    An Exposure and Risk Assessment for Fluoride and Trace Metals in Black Tea
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Sofuoğlu, Sait Cemil; Kavcar, Pınar
    Exposure and associated health risks for fluoride and trace metals in black tea were estimated. Fifty participants were randomly recruited to supply samples from the tea that they drink, and self-administer a questionnaire that inquired about personal characteristics and daily tea intake. Analyzed trace metals included aluminum, arsenic, barium, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, manganese, nickel, strontium, and zinc. Fluoride and four metals (Al, Cr, Mn, Ni) were detected in all samples while barium was detected only in one sample. The remaining metals were detected in >60% of the samples. Fluoride and aluminum levels in instant tea bag samples were greater than in loose tea samples (p < 0.05) while the differences in elemental concentrations of loose and pot bag tea samples were not significant. Median and 90th percentile daily tea intake rates were estimated as 0.35 and 1.1 l/day, respectively. Neither fluoride nor aluminum levels in black tea were found to associate with considerable risks of fluorosis and Alzheimer's disease, respectively. However, carcinogenic risk levels for arsenic were high; R > 1.0 × 10-6 even at the median level. According to sensitivity analysis, daily tea intake was the most influencing variable to the risk except for arsenic for which the concentration distribution was of more importance.
