Preconcentration Of Trace Elements On Amberlite Xad-4 Resin Functionalised With 1,2-Bis (O-Aminophenylthio) Ethane And Their Determination By Faas In Environmental Samples, Ömer Dalman, Volkan Numan Bulut, İsmai̇l Deği̇rmenci̇oğlu, Mehmet Tüfekçi̇

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The use of chemically modified XAD-4-1,2-bis (o-aminophenylthio) ethane chelating resin for preconcentrating Cr^{6+}, Mn^{2+}, Fe^{3+}, Co^{2+}, Cu^{2+}, Cd^{2+}, Zn^{2+}, Pb^{2+}, and Ni^{2+} was studied using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) for metal monitoring in environmental samples. Cd^{2+}, Zn^{2+}, Pb^{2+}, and Ni^{2+} ions were quantitatively recovered at the rate of 96.0%, 101.0%, 101.0%, and 95.0%, respectively (RSD < 5%), from the studied solutions. The procedure is based on the retention of analytes on a short column of 1,2-bis (o-aminophenylthio) ethane-XAD-4 chelating resin from a buffered sample solution and subsequent elution with 1 M HNO_3. Various parameters, such as pH, eluent type, and concentration, flow rate of sample solution and matrix interference effect on the retention of the metal ions have been studied. The optimum pH for the sorption of the above-mentioned metal ions was about 6. The adsorption and batch capacity of adsorbent and loading half time (t_{1/2}) for Ni^{2+}, Zn^{2+}, Cd^{2+}, and Pb^{2+} were established. The limit of detection was 3.0 \mu g L^{-1} for Pb^{2+} and Ni^{2+}, 0.6 \mu g L^{-1} for Cd^{2+}, and 0.3 \mu g L^{-1} for Zn^{2+}. The validation of the procedure was carried out by analysis of certified reference materials and standard addition. The proposed enrichment method was applied to environmental samples from Trabzon.

Variational Ground State Approach For A Tunnelling Exciton Coupled To Phonons, Dezider Kulak Jan 2007

Variational Ground State Approach For A Tunnelling Exciton Coupled To Phonons, Dezider Kulak

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper a variational study of a tunnelling exciton (Frenkel exciton) coupled to an arbitrary number of phonon modes is presented. The results of our model are presented both for weak non-adiabatic cases and for strong cases; and we come to the conclusion that the tunnelling reduction factor, the ground state energy of the tunnelling exciton-phonons system, and the mean number of ground state phonons, as the functions of the exciton-phonons coupling strength, are continuous, a condition that does not apply in cases of the tunnelling exciton-phonons models presented in the previous studies. In comparison with the previous studies, …


Distribution Of Circles On A Circle And Correlation Between Vortex Rings Of Superfluids, Mehmet Onur Fen, Şaki̇r Erkoç Jan 2007

Distribution Of Circles On A Circle And Correlation Between Vortex Rings Of Superfluids, Mehmet Onur Fen, Şaki̇r Erkoç

Turkish Journal of Physics

Superfluids are characterized by absence of viscosity. When superfluids are rotated, differently from normal fluids, they form more than one vortex in the containers where they are placed. The number of vortices change as the rotation velocity changes, but this change is not linear. M.W. Zwierlein et al. observed the vortices in experiments, observing up to a number of 80. Experiments also showed that the vortex distributions cannot include large spaces. By using experimental data, we noticed that when we think of vortices as vortex rings, their centers are at the same geometric location and these geometric locations are concentric …


Interface And Surface Optical Phonons Spectra In Wurtzite Nitride Quantum Well Wires: Size And Dielectric Effects, Li Zhang Jan 2007

Interface And Surface Optical Phonons Spectra In Wurtzite Nitride Quantum Well Wires: Size And Dielectric Effects, Li Zhang

Turkish Journal of Physics

By employing the method of electrostatic potential expansion, the interface optical (IO) and surface optical (SO) phonon modes and the corresponding Fröhlich-like electron-phonon-interaction Hamiltonian in a Q1D wurtzite cylindrical quantum well wire (QWW) embedded in nonpolar dielectric matrix are derived and studied based on the dielectric continuum model and Loudon's uniaxial crystal model. Numerical calculations for a wurtzite GaN/AlN QWW are mainly focused on the size- and dielectric-dependent IO and SO phonon spectra and electron-IO (SO)phonons coupling functions. Results reveal that, in general, there are two branches of IO phonon modes and one branch of SO mode in the system. …

Origin Of Kaolin Deposits: Evidence From The Hisarcık (Emet-Kütahya) Deposits, Western Turkey, Ali̇ Sayin Jan 2007

Origin Of Kaolin Deposits: Evidence From The Hisarcık (Emet-Kütahya) Deposits, Western Turkey, Ali̇ Sayin

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Kaolin deposits, situated approximately 20 km south of Hisarcık, have been formed by the alteration of dacite and dacitic tuffs related to the Miocene volcanism associated with extensional tectonics. The Hisarcık kaolin deposits occur in the Kızılcukur, Ulaşlar and Kurtdere areas. Kaolinite is the only clay mineral associated with a-quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, alunite, natroalunite and hematite in some kaolins, whereas, other kaolinite accompanies smectite, which represents a moderate kaolinization. Low-cristobalite is the dominant silica mineral in these kaolins. In spite of strong kaolinization, the kaolins contain a high amount of finely-disseminated a-quartz in places, resulting in low Al_2O_3 values (13.80 …

Stratigraphy And Geochemical Features Of The Early Miocene Bimodal (Ultrapotassic And Calc-Alkaline) Volcanic Activity Within The Ne-Trending Selendi Basin, Western Anatolia, Turkey, Yalçin Ersoy, Cahi̇t Helvaci

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Western Anatolia has experienced thickening and orogenic collapse subsequent to the Eocene continent-arc collision. The early stage of the post-collisional volcanism in the region was thought to have produced widespread lavas and pyroclastic deposits of calc-alkaline basaltic andesite to rhyolite composition. However, in the Selendi Basin, one of the NE-trending basins in western Anatolia, there are two distinct volcanic unit compositions associated with the Lower Miocene sedimentary rocks: (1) a calc-alkaline, high-potassic felsic unit; and (2) alkaline, ultrapotassic lamproitic units, i.e. both are bimodal in character. The calc-alkaline felsic volcanic rocks (Eğreltidağ volcanic unit) are composed of wide-spread pyroclastic rocks …

Late Ypresian To Middle Lutetian Orthophragminid Record From Central And Northern Turkey: Taxonomy And Remarks On Zonal Scheme, Ercan Özcan, György Less, Botond Kertesz

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Orthophragmines are one of the commonest larger foraminifera in the late Paleocene-Eocene shallow-marine deposits of Turkey. Following several common lineages, such as Discocyclina archiaci, Orbitoclypeus schopeni and O. multiplicatus, a major turnover in the orthophragminid composition - both in diversity and abundance - is observed to occur around the early-late Ypresian boundary. This is manifested in the first appearance/dominance of such important lineages like Discocyclina augustae, D. fortisi, Nemkovella strophiolata, Orbitoclypeus douvillei, O. varians, O. furcatus, Asterocyclina stellata and A. alticostata simultaneously with the disappearance of O. multiplicatus and other forms.

In the Aydıncık area, the Lower Liassic carbonates consist predominantly of dolomites, including limestone and dolomitic limestone intervals. These carbonates were deposited in peritidal environments, and later underwent early and late stage dolomitization. Petrographically, three dolomite-types are determined: (1) very fine to fine crystalline dolomite (T1) with crystal size of 13-65 µm and a good fabric preservation, (2) coarse crystalline sucrosic dolomite (T2) with size of 65 to 270 µm and fabric destruction, and (3) dolomite cement (T3) that occurs as a clear outer rim to cloudy coarse dolomite crystals (T2) or as a pore-lining and cement-fill of fenestral pores. …
