Determination Of Calcium, Magnesium And Aluminium In Magmatic Rocks After Ultrasonic Leaching By Flame Aas, M. Hi̇kmet Özkan, Mehmet Akçay

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A method of ultrasonic leaching has been developed for the destructive analysis of magmatic rock samples^1. This method was applied to determine three new elements, Ca, Mg and Al, in magmatic rock samples. The accuracy of the ultrasonic leaching method (C_{ULM}) was tested using standard reference materials (SRMs) and the recovery ratio as K_1 = C_{ULM}/C_{SRM} was defined. Another recovery ratio, K_2, was also defined from the results of the conventional dissolution method (CDM), that is K_2 = C_{ULM}/C_{CDM}. The accuracy and precision of the method are comparable with those of conventional methods. The following recovery ratios were obtained for …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In order to investigate the corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete and the effects of chloride ions, oxygen diffusion and detergent additives of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), potentiokinetic experiments were carried out. Thus, by embedding steel electrodes into concrete specimens with a water/cement (W/C) ratio of 0.45, current-potential curves were obtained and the compressive strength of the specimens was measured. The electrochemical approach can be used to identify the effect of chloride on steel corrosion in concrete. It was found that the diffusion of chloride and oxygen through concrete and the reduction of oxygen on the …


Radio Frequency-Induced Plasma Polymerization Of Allyl Alcohol And 1-Propanol, Şennur Candan Jan 2002

Radio Frequency-Induced Plasma Polymerization Of Allyl Alcohol And 1-Propanol, Şennur Candan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The effect of the composite parameters' plasma power (P)-to-monomer flow rate (\phi) ratio (P/\phi) in the plasma polymerization of allyl alcohol and 1-propanol was studied. The radio-frequency plasmas of deposits operated at low power (1-15 W) were investigated using deposition rate measurements. Detailed chemical information on the plasma polymers was obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The study of the surface chemistry of films created from allyl alcohol and 1-propanol demonstrates the importance of the double bond for good \underline{C}-O group retention. The deposition rates of both plasma polymers were found to increase with increasing P. The comparison of the …

The Protonation Constants Of Some Aliphatic Alkylamines In Ethanol-Water Mixtures, Esma Kiliç, Gülteki̇n Gökçe, Esi̇n Canel

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Protonation constants of methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and butylamines Were determined potentiometrically using an electrode system calibrated in concentration units of hydrogen ion in ethanol-water mixtures (10\% -80\% ethanol, v/v) at an ionic strength of 0.1 and at 25°C. The trend in the values of protonation constants of these aliphatic amines was explained in terms of the number of alkyl groups and solvent composition. The basicity orders were found to be NH_{3} < R_{3}N < RNH_{2} < R_{2}NH (R:-CH_{3}, -C_{2}H_{5}, -n-C_{3}H_{7} and --n-C_{4}H_{9}) in all the solvent mixtures studied.

Modeling Of Taqi Endonuclease Purification By Hplc, Mehmet Düzenli̇, Kutlu Ö. Ülgen Jan 2002

Modeling Of Taqi Endonuclease Purification By Hplc, Mehmet Düzenli̇, Kutlu Ö. Ülgen

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The present work is based on the previously reported purification study of TaqI endonuclease^{5} and aimed to simulate the experimentally obtained chromatograms in order to reduce the time and cost in the design, optimization and scaling up of purification processes. Three different models depending on equilibrium, rate and plate theories are used in the mathematical description of experimental elution profiles and the solutions of the model equations are compared. The equilibrium-dispersive theory provides excellent results in predicting the experimental chromatograms. It is thus recognized that band dispersion takes place in the column through axial dispersion and nonequilibrium effects. The user-friendly …

The Selective Protection And Deprotection Of Ambident Nucleophiles With Parent And Substituted Triarylmethyls, İbrahi̇m Demi̇rtaş, Bülent Büyükkidan, Mahfuz Elmastaş

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

N-triphenylmethyl and N-4,4'-dimethoxytriphenylmethyl of o-aminophenol, m-aminophenol, and p-aminophenol compounds were easily prepared from triphenylmethyl chloride and 4,4'-dimethoxytriphenyl- methyl chloride. S-triphenylmethyl-2-mercapto ethanol was also selectively synthesized using the triphenylmethyl chloride and 2-mercapto ethanol. The reactivity of nitrogen and sulfur versus oxygen in the protection reactions was compared. In principle, the protection of aminophenols and 2-mercapto ethanol with triarylmethyls (trityls) may take place on the oxygen. However, in this framework, we discuss the different reactivities of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur towards triphenylmethyl chloride (TrCl) and 4,4'-dimethoxytriphenylmethyl chloride (DMTrCl) and find that nitrogen and sulfur are more reactive than oxygen.

Anodic Behavior Of Tungsten In H_{3}Po_{4}-K_{2}So_{4}-H_{2}So_{4}/Koh Solutions, Mustafa Anik

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarizations were used to study the effect of pH on the anodic reaction characteristics of tungsten (W) in a very broad pH range (0.4-13). The open circuit potential was observed to decrease with a constant slope of 58 mV/pH, as pH increased. The oxide phase of W showed typical amphoteric surface behavior in the acidic regime. The oxide dissolution went through a minimum at pH 2.5, which was identified as the point of zero charge (pzc) of W--oxide. The oxide dissolution below the pzc was H^{+} -assisted and above the pzc was OH^{-}-assisted. At around the pzc …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

By using 1-benzylpiperazinedithiocarbamate (1-BPzDC) as a new reagent, a method of solid-phase extraction is described for the pre-concentration of cadmium in water samples prior to its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). This method is based on the fact that cadmium forming in aqueous phase cadmium 1-benzylpiperazinedithiocarbamate complex (Cd(1-BPzDC)_{2}) can be extracted with microcrystalline naphthalene on solid phase, then back-extracted with potassium cyanide solution into aqueous phase and measured by FAAS.

An Investigation Of The Interaction Of 4-Membered Rings With Adjacent Carbanion Centers, Özden Özel Güven, N. Beki̇r Peyni̇rci̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of cyclobutylcarbinyl phenyl ketones was prepared and the rates of base catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange of \alpha -hydrogen atoms were compared with those of appropriate model compounds, to test the validity of an earlier finding, which suggested that a four-membered ring, like the three-membered ring, has the ability to stabilize an adjacent carbanion center. In this study, unlike the cyclopropyl group, no clearly defined stabilization of the adjacent carbanion center was detected by the 1-phenyl- and 1-p-nitrophenyl- substituted cyclobutyl groups and only a very slight rate enhancement by the 3-phenylcyclobutyl group was detected. Attempts to detect a stabilization of …

Stabilization Of Papain By Modification With Chitosan, Ali̇ Kilinç, Seçi̇l Önal, Azmi̇ Telefoncu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Papain (EC 3.4.22.2) was immobilized on chitosan by adsorption and subsequent cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The immobilized papain displayed a lower specific activity than did the native enzyme. The thermal stability of the immobilized papain, relative to that of the free enzyme, was markedly increased. The storage stability of the conjugated enzyme was enhanced such that more than 85% of the initial activity remained after a month storage at 45°C. The optimum pH of immobilized papain was shifted to the acidic region and enzyme stability was increased at pH levels below 3.5.
