A New And Simple Procedure For The Polarographic Speciation And Determination Of Trace Inorganic As(Iii) And As(V) Species, Ülkü Ünal, Güler Somer

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new and simple differential pulse polarographic method was developed for the trace determination of As(III) and As(V) species in the same sample. Among several electrolytes, 0.1 M HCl was found to be the most suitable. As(III) had 3 peaks in this medium, and the peak at --0.82 V was chosen because of its peak shape and response to standard additions. In this medium, the limit of detection for As(III) was found to be 1.5 \times 10^{-7} M. Since As(V) is not electroactive, it had to be reduced first into As(III). For this purpose, KI in an acidic and hot …

Amphiphilic And Chiral Unsymmetrical Perylene Dye For Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells, Hurmus Refiker, Hüri̇ye İci̇l

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A novel amphiphilic, unsymmetrically substituted N-((2S)-2-aminohexanoic acid)-N'-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]-3,4,9,10- perylenetetracarboxydiimide with 2 different chiral centers was synthesized and characterized. Chiral amphiphilicity, which can be tunable between hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts, is responsible for controlled self-assembly through intermolecular hydrogen bonding (N-H \cdots O). The product showed high thermal stability but partial solubility in common organic solvents. We observed 2 isosbestic points at 533 and 611 nm, confirming the presence of overlapped monomer and excimer emissions in the temperature range of 10-80 °C. Fluorescence quenching in m-cresol was attributed to charge-transfer interactions. Importantly, the excited state of the chiral dye can decay only by …

Determination Of Ni(Ii) With Picolinaldehyde-4-Phenyl-3-Thiosemicarbazone Used As A Chromogenic Reagent In A Nonionic Micellar System, Aamna Balouch, Muhammad Iqbal Bhanger, Farah Naz Talpur, Willie L. Hinze

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Spectrophotometric determination of Ni(II) was carried out using picolinaldehyde-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (PAPT) as a complexing/chromogenic reagent. The possibility of using a micellar system was explored to enhance the degree of detection and allow a more sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of nickel ions. The anionic surfactant Triton X-100 greatly enhanced the molar absorptivity and limit of detection relative to that observed with bulk water or an organic solvent. The linear calibration graphs were obtained for 0.5-2.0 mg L^{-1} and 0.001-1.0 mg L^{-1} of Ni(II) in aqueous and surfactant media, respectively. Using this approach, the limit of detection for the PAPT-Ni(II) complex …

The Sorption Of Cadmium(Ii) Ions On Mercerized Rice Husk And Activated Carbon, Mas Rosemal Hakim Mas Haris, Nor Aimi Abdul Wahab, Chong Wan Reng, Baharin Azahari, Kathiresan Sathasivam

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

This work describes the removal of Cd(II) ions in aqueous solution by unmodified and base-modified rice husk (RH) as compared to that by activated carbon (AC). Mercerization of RH was carried out by using dilute solutions (0.013 M) of NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH)_2. The experiments were conducted in duplicate under 1-batch and 2-batch treatments. In the 1-batch treatment, a fresh 200 mg of each adsorbent was used to study the sorption of the Cd(II) ions from 100-mL solutions at an initial concentration of 5 mg L^{-1}. The adsorption percentage increased in the order of unmodified RH (80.13 \pm 0.46%) < Ca(OH)_2-modified RH (90.74 \pm 0.18%) < NaOH-modified RH (93.36 \pm 0.23%) \le KOH-modified RH (93.78 \pm 0.27%) < AC (98.4 \pm 0.18%). In the 2-batch treatment, a fresh 100 mg of each adsorbent was placed in 100-mL solutions at an initial concentration of 5 mg L^{-1} of Cd(II) ions for 30 min, and the resulting solutions were filtered. The filtrates were subjected to another fresh 100 mg of each adsorbent for an additional 30 min. The percentage removal of the metal ion using the 2-batch treatment for unmodified RH, base-modified RH, and AC was 97.71%, 98.00 \pm 1.00%, and nearly 100%, respectively.

Influence Of Doping And Heat Treatments On Carriers Mobility In Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Films For Photovoltaic Application, Beddiaf Zaidi, Bouzid Hadjoudja, Houda Felfli, Allaoua Chibani Jan 2011

Influence Of Doping And Heat Treatments On Carriers Mobility In Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Films For Photovoltaic Application, Beddiaf Zaidi, Bouzid Hadjoudja, Houda Felfli, Allaoua Chibani

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work, we investigate the influence of doping as well as heat treatments on the mobility of the carriers in polycrystalline silicon layers. It was found that any increase in both parameters leads to an increase in the mobility of the carriers. Such mobilities were shown to be higher in boron doped layers that those doped with arsenic. Moreover, for strong arsenic doping, after the initial increase, we observed a saturation region followed by a final decrease of carrier mobility.
