ZnO was immobilized on the montmorillonite (MMT) to synthesize ZnO/MMT nanocomposite. Physicochemical properties of the as-synthesized nanocomposite were determined using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N$_{2}$ adsorption/desorption, and point of zero charge pH (pH$_{pzc})$ analysis. The performance of the prepared ZnO/MMT nanocomposite was examined for the photocatalytic ozonation of Disperse Red 54 (DR54) and the highest decolorization efficiency (88.75{\%} after 60 min of reaction time) was the result for the mentioned process compared to adsorption, single ozonation, catalytic ozonation, and photolysis. The influence of various operational parameters including initial dye concentration, catalyst concentration, …

Speciation Of Inorganic Selenium By Solid Phase Extraction Using Nanozirconium Oxide/Boron Oxide Composite Material, Hakan Erdoğan, Özcan Yalçinkaya, Ali̇ Rehber Türker

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The speciation and preconcentration of selenium were carried out by solid phase extraction using nanozirconium oxide/boron oxide (ZrO$_{2}$/B$_{2}$O$_{3})$. Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) was used for detection. This preconcentration and/or speciation method depends on the retention of Se(IV) ions selectively as its ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) complex on the sorbent. The effects of pH, flow rate, and volume of sample solution and eluent type were investigated for determining the optimum preconcentration and speciation conditions. The effects of other ions that may interfere with the determination and speciation of selenium were also investigated. Moreover, the analytical performance criteria of the method …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of novel positional oximes (2a-2d), $O$-methyl oxime ethers (3a-3d), and $O$-benzyl oxime ethers (4a-4d) were synthesized in high yields starting from their corresponding methyl 3-, 4-, 6-, and 13-keto tetradecanoates. The synthesized compounds were characterized by $^{1}$H NMR, $^{13}$C NMR, FT-IR, mass, and elemental analyses for their structures and $(E)$/$(Z)$ isomerizations. Their DNA binding abilities were investigated in vitro by agarose gel electrophoresis. The antibacterial and antifungal activities were tested also in vitro against eleven bacterial strains and three fungal strains. The relationship between the structure and the mentioned biological activities was discussed. Compound 2a showed good antibacterial …

Speciation Of Trace Metals And Metalloids By Solid Phase Extraction With Spectrometric Detection: A Critical Review, Ali̇ Rehber Türker

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Considerable interest is continuing to be shown in the speciation of metals, metalloids, and organometals due to the dependence of their toxicity and mobility on their chemical form. This review focuses on the speciation analysis of metals, metalloids, and organometals by solid phase extraction before spectrometric detection, and all aspects of analytical speciation such as determination of oxidation states and organometallic compounds. Some applications of speciation of metals and metalloids are also presented and discussed in this review. Fractionation, which is used sometimes as speciation, and chromatographic detection are not discussed. This review covers approximately the last four years (2012-March …

Latest Trends, Green Aspects, And Innovations In Liquid-Phase--Based Microextraction Techniques: A Review, Erkan Yilmaz, Mustafa Soylak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) methods including single-drop microextraction (SDME), hollow-fiber LPME (HF-LPME), and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) have in the very short time since their invention grabbed the attention of scientists. Up to now, LPME methods have shown important innovations for the extraction and preconcentration of both inorganic and organic trace analytes from different matrices. These LPME methods offer unique advantages such as high preconcentration factor for target analytes in a single step, low cost, simplicity, excellent preconcentration capability, sample cleanup and integration of steps, and combined use with almost every analytical measurement technique. We describe the milestones and the combined …
