Fixed Bed Pyrolysis And Hydropyrolysis Of An Immature Type I Turkish Oil Shale, Murat Çitiroğlu, Selma Türkay, Zeynep Işık Cepni̇, Colin Edward Snape
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A number of different pyrolysis procedures were investigated in order to achieve higher oil yields from an immature type I oil shale than obtained under static retorting conditions. Both nitrogen and steam gases increased yields as inticipated: Steam achieving comparable yields to nitrogen but at much lower gas velocities. The composition of the tars varied considerably, steam increasing the concentration of alkenes. In coprocessing the oil shale with a Turkish lignite in the Heinze retort, oil yields were higher than predicted principally due to extraction of the lignite by pyrobitumens obtained from the oil shale. Fixed bed hydropyrolysis of the …

An Amperometric Biosensor For The Determination Of Organophosphorus Pesticides, Azmi Telefoncu
An Amperometric Biosensor For The Determination Of Organophosphorus Pesticides, Azmi Telefoncu
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Organophosphorus pesticides are inhibitors of cholinesterase and this enzyme is used as a monitoring system for pesticides containing organophosphorus compounds. The decrease in activity of cholinesterase is monitored by the choline sensor and is correlated to the concentration of pesticide present in solution. According to this observation a biosensor for pesticides was determined. This biosensor consists of a Clark oxygen electrode, modified with cellulose acetate and dialysis membranes. Between the two membranes there are two immobilized enzymes: acetyl-cholinesterase and choline oxidase.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Adsorption of two cationic dyes, methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG), was studied on the bentonite, sepiolite and zeolite samples by the batch equilibration technique using a spectrophotometer. In addition, cation exchange capacities (CEC) of samples were determined by NH_4^{+} saturation using Kjeldhal distillation. The adsorption data was found to conform with the Langmuir equation within the concentration range studied, and Langmuir constants were determined for each of the samples. It was observed that the amount of dyes adsorbed was in excess of CEC in the case of bentonite and sepiolite. The adsorption capacities of the samples for both …

An Unusual Zinc-Promoted Reductive Retro-Wagner-Meerwein Rearrangement, Yavuz Taşkesenli̇gi̇l, Metin Balci
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Bromination and dehydrobromination of exocyclic olefin {\bf 8} resulted in the formation of bromomethylene compound {\bf 9} and Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement product {\bf 10}. The dehydrobromination of {\bf 10} with potassium {\it tert}-butoxide provided the corresponding bromomethyl compound {\bf 11} in high yield. Reaction of {\bf 11} with Zn-Cu couple in methanol afforded the methyl derivative {\bf 12} and the parent olefin {\bf 8}. The unusual formation mechanism of {\bf 8} has been discussed in term of a reductive retro-Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement.

The Inverse Nonstationary Scattering Problem For A Hyperbolic System Of Equations On Semi-Axis, N. Sh. Iskenderov, A. Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, the direct and inverse nonstationary scattering problem for a hyperbolic system of n equations (n>3) on a semi-axis is studied. The coefficients of the system are uniquely determined according to scattering operator. The solution of the problem is generalized for an arbitrary natural number n applying the properties of separation of factors by means of operator transformations to some elements of the scattering operator and its inverse as well as reducing the scattering problem given on a semi-axis to the scattering problem on the whole-axis.

It was found that aluminum sulfate reacts with potassium chloride to produce K_{2}SO_{4}, Al_{2}O_{3}, and Cl_{2} in the solid phase at 700 ^{\circ}C. This reaction was investigated with thermal analysis under air and nitrogen atmosphere. By changing temperature and time parameters, the actual yield of conversion in question was examined analytically and the optimum temperature and time were found for the reaction. The rate expression of the solid phase reaction was also investigated and the rate equation was obtained.

Poly (D,L-Lactic Acid) Homopolymers: Synthesis And Characterization, Xu Kaitian, Ahmet Kozluca, Emir B. Denkbaş, Erhan Pi̇şki̇n
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
In this study, poly(D,L-lactic acid or D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) homopolymers were synthesized with different molecular weights. Low molecular weight PDLLAs (MW_n: 500-2300) were synthesized by direct polycondensation of DL-lactic acid without using any catalyst, while high molecular weight PDLLAs ( MW_n: 8x10^3-150x10^3) were produced by ring-opening polymerization of DL-lactide with stannous chloride as catalyst (initiator). Average molecular weights of PDLLAs were determined by end-group analysis, by viscosimetric measurements and by HPLC. PDLLA homopolymers were characterized by FTIR, NMR and DSC. In the production of PDLLAs by direct polymerization, molecular weights of the PDLLAs increased with the increase in the polymerization time …

Chelate Ring-Closure Kinetics Of Cr(Co)_5 (Dppm) Studied By ^{31}P-Nmr Spectroscopy, Saim Özkar, Ceyhan Kayran, Ayşin Tekkaya
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
^{31}P-NMR spectroscopy was used to study the kinetics of the chelate ring-closure reaction in CR(CO)_5 (DPPM) where DPPM is bis (diphenylphosphino) methane. DPPM is potentially a bidentate ligand, but in this complex it is coordinated to the transition metal in a monodentate fashion and therefore can undergo chelation. The thermal chelate ring-closure reaction was carried out in an NMR sample tube at a constant temperature and the course of the reaction was quantitatively followed by taking ^{31}P-NMR spectra in appropriate time intervals. Kinetic results have shown that the chelate ring-closure reaction of Cr(CO)_5 DPPM is of zero-order. Activation parameters were …

A Kinetic Study Of Homogeneous Bulk Polymerization Of Ethyl Methacrylate Initiated By Benzoyl Peroxide And An N, N^{\Prime} -Dimethylaniline Redox Pair, Serap Şenel, Belma Işik-Yürüksoy, Olgun Güven
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The homogenous bulk polymerization of ethyl methacrylate (EMA) was studied using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and an N,N^{\prime}-dimethylaniline (DMA) redox pair with the dilatometric method. The half-order dependence of the polymerization rate upon both the BPO and DMA concentrations was obtained. The overall activation energy of the polymerization was found to be between 32.3-55.3 kJ/mole for different initial molar ratios of the redox pair. A retaring effect was observed at lower polymerization temperatures for low concentrations of BPO. The formation of reddish colored polymers at higher DMA concentrations was explained by the adsorption of adduct formed between DMA radicals.
