Partial Regeneration Of Ni-Based Catalysts For Hydrogen Production Via Methane Cracking Part Ii: Modeling And Optimization, Reyyan Koç, Erdoğan Alper, Eric Croiset, Ali Elkamel
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
High purity, carbon monoxide-free hydrogen and filamentous carbon can be produced by thermo-catalytic cracking of methane. Carbon filaments continue to grow until the catalyst deactivates because of carbon encapsulation. Regeneration of catalyst is important to maintain a continuous process. Our work on optimization of the partial regeneration method showed that activity of the catalyst can be sustained for longer times by gasifying not all but some extent of the deposited carbon. In the previous work, a kinetic model was developed to be able to understand the reaction mechanism of deactivation of fresh catalyst at the molecular level. The objective of …
Effective Width And Expansion Energy Of The Interacting Condensed ^{87}Rb Bose Gas With Finite Size Effects, Ahmed Sayed Hassan, A. M. El-Badry
Effective Width And Expansion Energy Of The Interacting Condensed ^{87}Rb Bose Gas With Finite Size Effects, Ahmed Sayed Hassan, A. M. El-Badry
Turkish Journal of Physics
This work is devoted to study the temperature dependence of the effective width and expansion energy on the finite size and interaction effects (repulsive interactions). It is found that the effective size , and expansion energy in the radial direction E_y of a Bose gas follow a characteristic temperature dependence, i.e. , E_y \propto (T/T_0)^4 if T_0 < T and , E_y \propto (T/T_0) if T_0 > T. Our results show that these two parameters increases with the number of atoms, and with increasing repulsive interaction strength at temperature less than the transition temperature, (T < T_o); yet it has little effect at temperatures higher than the transition temperature (T > T_o). The obtained results are compared with the available experimental data for ^{87}Rb directly, full …

Petrogenesis Of The Refahiye Ophiolite And Its Tectonic Significance For Neotethyan Ophiolites Along The İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture Zone, Ender Sarifakioğlu, Hayretti̇n Özen, John A. Winchester
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Refahiye ophiolite, situated near Erzincan in the eastern part of the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture Zone (İAESZ), is one of the best exposures of oceanic lithosphere in the northern branch of the Neotethyan Ocean. The ophiolite, mainly thrust southwards, transported on an ophiolitic mélange, over the Early Triassic-Campanian Munzur Limestone of the Anatolide-Tauride Platform, was also emplaced by north-directed backthrusting onto the Pontides in the Late Cretaceous. It displays an almost complete ophiolite series unconformably overlain by Tertiary volcano-sedimentary units. The mantle peridotites are dominated by harzburgites, with dunite bands and lenses locally cut by isolated diabase dykes, whereas the mafic-ultramafic …

Geochemical Characteristics Of Mafic And Intermediate Volcanic Rocks From The Hasandağ And Erciyes Volcanoes (Central Anatolia, Turkey), Aykut Güçteki̇n, Nezi̇hi̇ Köprübaşi
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Hasandağ and Erciyes stratovolcanoes, which are the two important stratovolcanoes in Central Anatolia, erupted volcanic products with both calc-alkaline and alkaline compositions, although the calc-alkaline activity is more widespread. There are three stages of geochemical evolution in the history of the Hasandağ stratovolcanic complex: (1) Keçikalesi tholeiitic volcanism, (2) Hasandağ calc-alkaline volcanism, and (3) Hasandağ alkaline volcanism. The geochemical evolution of Erciyes volcanic complex also exhibits three distinct evolutionary stages: (1) Koçdağ alkaline volcanism, (2) Koçdağ calc-alkaline volcanism and (3) Erciyes calc-alkaline volcanism. The volcanic rocks from both suites show enrichments in LREE relative to HREE. The rocks as a …
Anomalous Strong Reflections On High Resolution Seismic Data From The Turkish Shelf Of The Eastern Black Sea: Possible Indicators Of Shallow Hydrogen Sulphide-Rich Gas Hydrate Layers, Derman Dondurur, Günay Çi̇fçi̇
Anomalous Strong Reflections On High Resolution Seismic Data From The Turkish Shelf Of The Eastern Black Sea: Possible Indicators Of Shallow Hydrogen Sulphide-Rich Gas Hydrate Layers, Derman Dondurur, Günay Çi̇fçi̇
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Some strong reflections about 3 to 5 m thick were observed at depths of 25-60 metres below the sea floor using deep-towed, 5 kHz subbottom profiler data in the Turkish shelf and upper slope of the Eastern Black Sea at water depths of 250 to 700 m. Strong reflections of this kind are generally attributed to shallow and localized gas accumulations. We, however, observed that the reflection polarity of these strong reflections was positive, suggesting that they do not correspond to reflections from the upper boundary of a possible gas front. In this study, we evaluate these reflections to determine …

Benthic Faunal Assemblages Of The Holocene Sediments From The Southwest Black Sea Shelf, Demet Ongan, Oya Algan, Sevi̇nç Kapan Yeşi̇lyurt, Ati̇ke Nazi̇k, Mustafa Ergi̇n, Christ Eastoe
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Benthic faunal content (benthic foraminifera, mollusca and ostracoda) of sediment cores from the SW Black Sea shelf were examined. Based on the vertical distribution of abundance and diversity of the benthic fauna, three benthic assemblages were distinguished. These assemblages are BF1, BF2 and BF3, and reflect the changes in bottom water from the termination of the Neoeuxinian period to present. BF1 displays high abundance and diversity in the surroundings of the Bosporus channel, diminishing in the shelf sediments further away from the channel. In the Mid-Shelf and Outer Shelf, it displays low abundance and low diversity. BF1 which started to …

Bedrock Depth Mapping Of The Coast South Of İstanbul: Comparison Of Analytical And Experimental Analyses, Gülüm Bi̇rgören, Oğuz Özel, Bi̇lge Si̇yahi̇
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Local S-wave velocity-depth profiles and bedrock depth distribution are key factors in assessing seismic hazard and earthquake ground motion characteristics since they allow determination of the amplification potential of geological formations overlying bedrock. In this study, an empirical relationship between the thickness of Tertiary-Quaternary sediments (hereafter referred as cover) overlying Palaeozoic bedrock and their resonance frequencies was calculated for the İstanbul region and the bedrock depth distribution beneath the city was presented. The relationship was investigated by comparing transfer functions obtained from single station microtremor analyses and one-dimensional (1D) S-wave velocity profiles at sites where shallow velocity structure is known. …
Cross-Basin Faulting And Extinction Of Pull-Apart Basins In The Sea Of Marmara, Nw Turkey, İsmai̇l Kuşçu
Cross-Basin Faulting And Extinction Of Pull-Apart Basins In The Sea Of Marmara, Nw Turkey, İsmai̇l Kuşçu
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Although offshore multi-channel seismic reflection and multi-beam bathymetric studies were intensively carried out in the Sea of Marmara especially after the August 17, 1999 İzmit earthquake (Mw 7.4), some basic problems remain unsolved, for example whether the seafloor was cut by a double fault system or just by a single fault. The researchers advocating the double fault system assumed that most of the deformation occurred along the margins of the basins and concluded that the classical model of pull-apart basin formation along releasing bends or stepovers within an east−west-trending dextral strike-slip system prevails. An alternative and completely different proposition proposed …

Empirical Attenuation Relationships For Western Anatolia, Turkey, Ni̇hal Akyol, Özlem Karagöz
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Seismic hazard studies have become progressively more important for earthquake engineering applications in western Anatolia, which contains one of the world’s best examples of a rapidly extending intra-continental tectonic regime. A two-stage regression analysis was applied to peak ground acceleration and 5%-damped spectral acceleration values of 168 recordings from 49 earthquakes in order to develop empirical attenuation relationships which can be used to predict ground motion for western Anatolia. Moment magnitudes for earthquakes range between 4.0 and 6.4 while the hypocentral distances range between 15 and 200 km in our dataset. Site classifications, as one of the predictor variables for …

Permian Trilobites From Antalya Province, Turkey, And Enrollment In Late Palaeozoic Trilobites, Rudy Lerosey Aubril, Lucia Angiolini
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Trilobites are a minor component of Permian benthic marine faunas, which explains why they remain poorly known. For example, only two specimens have been found in the highly fossiliferous and extensively studied Middle-Upper Permian Pamucak Formation (Antalya Province, Turkey). These two complete enrolled trilobites of Wordian age are described herein. The diagnosis of the subgenus Pseudophillipsia (Nodiphillipsia) Kobayashi & Hamada 1984a is emended and its occurrence outside of eastern Asia is reported for the first time. The second specimen represents a new species, Pseudophillipsia (Carniphillipsia) kemerensis sp. nov. Its discovery in the Wordian of Turkey suggests that Pseudophillipsia (Carniphillipsia) is …

Benthonic Foraminiferal Biostratigraphy Of The Upper Cretaceous (Middle Cenomanian−Coniacian) Sequences Of The Bey Dağları Carbonate Platform, Western Taurides, Turkey, Bi̇lal Sari, Kemal Tasli, Saci̇t Özer
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Identification of the benthonic foraminiferal assemblages from ten stratigraphic sections from the inner platform limestones of the Middle Cenomanian−Coniacian successions of the Bey Dağları carbonate platform (BDCP) allowed the recognition of one biozone and two subzones. The lower part of the platform limestones (Middle−Upper Cenomanian) is represented by relatively rich benthonic foraminiferal assemblages, while the upper part (Turonian−Coniacian) contains poor assemblages. The benthonic foraminiferal assemblages determined in the BDCP are dominated by long-ranging species. The shorter-ranging, stratigraphical index species have been selected to date the Upper Cretaceous platform limestones of the BDCP based on the distributions of the species in …

Geochemistry Of The Middle Miocene Collision-Related Yamadaği ( Eastern Anatolia) Calc-Alkaline Volcanics, Turkey, Taner Eki̇ci̇, Musa Alpaslan, Osman Parlak, Ali̇ Uçurum
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Major, trace element and K-Ar age determinations are reported for a suite from the Yamadağı volcanics in the Eastern Anatolia. The exposed rocks mainly consist of medium-potassium calc-alkaline basaltic andesites, andesites and dacites. Petrographical data exhibit disequilibrium mineral textures, such as resorption of the ferromagnesian phases, clinopyroxene-mantled orthopyroxene, and sieve-textured plagioclases. The Yamadağı volcanics have a calk-alkaline character, and trace element characteristics exhibit that the volcanics resemble subduction zone volcanics and/or volcanics assimilated by continental crust. K/Ar age determinations show that the Yamadağı volcanics were formed during the 12 ± 0.5 - 15 ± 0.5 Ma time interval. Geochemical characteristics …

Minerals From Macedonia. Xx. Geological Setting, Lithologies, And Identification Of The Minerals From Rzanovo Fe-Ni Deposit, Blazo Boev, Gligor Jovanovski, Petre Makreski
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Rzanovo deposit lies within the western ophiolite belt of the Vardar zone. Its main geological units are discussed in terms of their mineralogy, petrology and petrological evolution. Minerals observed include: magnetite, hematite, clinochlore, talc, sepiolite, magnesioriebeckite, lizardite, dolomite, phlogopite, stilpnomelane, quartz, albite, pyrite, maghemite, pyrrhotine, digenite and millerite. Some minerals had non-distinct morphologies and ambiguous characteristics, preventing identification on the basis of physical properties alone. Thus, some of the minerals (magnetite, hematite, talc, dolomite, olivine, calcite, aragonite and brucite) as well as some serpentine minerals (antigorite and chrysotile) were identified by vibrational spectroscopy. Difficulties in identification by IR spectroscopy …

Whole Rock And Mineral Chemistry Of Ultramafic-Mafic Cumulates From The Orhaneli (Bursa) Ophiolite, Nw Anatolia, Ender Sarifakioğlu, Hayretti̇n Özen, John A. Winchester
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Orhaneli ophiolite, situated in the western part of the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture Zone (İAESZ) and south of Bursa, exposes cumulates belonging to the mantle-crust transition zone. The Orhaneli ophiolite consists mainly of ultramafic cumulates and subordinate mafic cumulates. The basal cumulate sequence comprises dunites locally interlayered with chromitite levels. Above, dunitic cumulates, commonly interbanded with cumulate wehrlites, grade up into two pyroxene peridotites (cumulate lherzolites showing some transition to cumulate harzburgites in places). The observation of cumulate gabbroic thin layers intercalated with ultramafic cumulates at least three times suggests that the magma chamber was periodically replenished by basaltic liquids. Petrographic …

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Karaçayır syenite, intruding the Palaeozoic crustal metamorphics and unconformably overlain by Upper Paleocene to Eocene Tokuş formation in the north of Sivas (east-central Anatolia), has been studied with respect to ^{207}Pb-^{206}Pb single zircon evaporation, biotite ^{40}Ar-^{39}Ar, and apatite fission-track geothermochronology. ^{207}Pb-^{206}Pb single zircon evaporation dating yields an age of 99.0±11.0 Ma (Cenomanian-Turonian) which is considered to be the intrusion age. Biotite ^{40}Ar-^{39}Ar age determination gives a cooling age of ca. 65 Ma. Apatite fission-track dating, combined with T-t modeling based on track-length distribution data, determines a fast tectonic exhumation with an uplift rate of > 1 mm/a which occurred 58-61 …

Compositional Variations, Zoning Types And Petrogenetic Implications Of Low-Pressure Clinopyroxenes In The Neogene Alkaline Volcanic Rocks Of Northeastern Turkey, Faruk Aydi̇n, Orhan Karsli, M. Burhan Sadiklar
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Clinopyroxene phenocrysts and microphenocrysts in different series of the Neogene alkaline volcanic rocks from the eastern Pontides (NE Turkey) record various stages in the crystallization conditions and evolution history of the alkaline melt as well as its origin. Crystal chemical studies reveal that the clinopyroxenes in each rock series show strong textural and compositional similarities, which all reflect a common petrogenetic affinity. They have relatively high Mg-numbers (0.68-0.95), variable Al_2O_3 (1.3-9.6 wt%), low TiO_2 (

The Relationship Between The Tectonic Setting Of The Lake İznik Basin And The Middle Strand Of The North Anatolian Fault, Kurultay Öztürk, Cenk Yaltirak, Bedri̇ Alpar
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The İznik Basin is an active depression created by a series of faults developed in relation to the Middle Strand of the North Anatolian Fault (NAFMS). The most important of these faults is the oblique Sölöz fault, which runs parallel to the NAFMS. It is interpreted as a releasing bend, and plays a crucial role in the evolution of the 75-m-deep ellipsoid-shaped depression in the southern part of the lake. The faults that limit the coastal alluvial plain on land, some of which developed during the early evolution of the NAFMS, are equally important in the development of the İznik …

Geochemical And Mineralogical Characteristics Of Fe-Ni Laterite Ore Of Sarıçimen (Çaldıran-Van) Area In Eastern Anatolia, Turkey, Ali̇ Riza Çolakoğlu
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Sarıçimen Fe-Ni laterite ore is located 15 km east of Çaldıran County, northeast of Lake Van. This area is situated in the eastern Anatolia accretionary complex of Turkey, close to the Iran boundary. It is the first transported Fe-Ni rich laterite to be described from this area. This paper concentrates on the mineralogical and textural features of the ore minerals and the transported Fe-Ni laterite zone. These transported laterites are very inhomogeneous and contain very abundant zoned chromite grains, which have been altered to magnetite. SEM/probe investigations indicate that Fe-Ni is depleted in the core chromite and increases in …

The petrogenesis and U-Pb SHRIMP zircon ages of the Late Cretaceous Sarıosman pluton in the Eastern Pontides is investigated by means of whole-rock Sr-Nd isotope data with field, petrographic and whole-rock geochemical studies. The bulk of the I-type Sarıosman pluton consists of biotite-hornblende monzogranite, with minor quantities of porphyritic hornblende-biotite monzogranite. The biotite-hornblende monzogranite contains a number of mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) of quartz monzodiorite composition. U-Pb zircon sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe dating (SHRIMP) dates the magma emplacement age of the biotite-hornblende monzogranite at 82.7±1.5 Ma. The rocks of the pluton show high-K calc-alkaline, metaluminous to slightly peraluminous characteristics, and …
