Propylene Dimerization Over Nickel-Ion Exchanged Zeolites In The Liquid Phase, Mina K. Munshieva Jan 2001

Propylene Dimerization Over Nickel-Ion Exchanged Zeolites In The Liquid Phase, Mina K. Munshieva

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The possibility of the dimerization of propylene in the liquid phase over nickel-ion exchanged zeolites (Ni-zeolites) modified by treatment with AlEt_{2}Cl to provide enhanced activity is studied. In order to determine the influence of the crystalline structure of zeolites on their catalytic activity and the selection of the most active catalyst the zeolites of faujasite (NaX, NaY), eryonite and mordenite types with various structures and different cell sizes have been chosen. The samples of Ni-zeolites were prepared by ion exchange with nickel nitrate in a corresponding zeolite. The treatment of these zeolites with AlEt_{2}Cl leads to the formation of active …


Hydrothermal And Microwave Synthesis Of Boron Phosphate, Bpo_{4}, A. Baykal, Meral Kizilyalli, M. Toprak, R. Kniep Jan 2001

Hydrothermal And Microwave Synthesis Of Boron Phosphate, Bpo_{4}, A. Baykal, Meral Kizilyalli, M. Toprak, R. Kniep

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

BPO_4 was previously synthesized by the solid state reactions of (NH_4)_2HPO_4 and B_2O_3 at 1000 ^oC and was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and IR methods. We have now succeeded in preparing BPO_4 from H_3BO_3 and P_2O_5 using hydrothermal synthesis by heating at 160 ^oC for 2 days and obtained a single phase product. We observed that a microwave-assisted synthesis takes only 3 to 5 minutes to transform a solid mixture of (NH_4)_2B_4O_7.4H_2O, and solid H_3PO_4 or B_2O_3 + P_2O_5 into the crystalline title compound. Its X-ray powder diffraction data and IR spectra were in good agreement with the literature …


The Influence Of Transition Metal Ions On The Kinetics Of Ascorbic Acid Oxidation By Methylene Blue In Strongly Acidic Media, M. Nasiruddin Khan, Anila Sarwar Jan 2001

The Influence Of Transition Metal Ions On The Kinetics Of Ascorbic Acid Oxidation By Methylene Blue In Strongly Acidic Media, M. Nasiruddin Khan, Anila Sarwar

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The kinetics of the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid (H_{2} A) by methylene blue was investigated in strongly acidic media over the temperature range 22-40 ^oC. The kinetic studies were carried out as a function of different variables like concentration, pH, ionic strength and temperature. The rate was found to be a linear relation with [H_{2} A], [M.B.] and [H^{+}]. Ionic strength dependence formation indicated complex formation by monocationic and anionic species in solution. The reaction rate was greatly catalyzed by the presence of trace amounts of copper (II) ion. Possible mechanisms for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions are proposed. Kinetic …

New Photochemical And Electrochemical Methods For The Degradation Of Pesticides In Aqueous Media. Environmental Applications, J. J. Aaron, Mehmet A. Oturan Jan 2001

New Photochemical And Electrochemical Methods For The Degradation Of Pesticides In Aqueous Media. Environmental Applications, J. J. Aaron, Mehmet A. Oturan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The development of new electrochemical and photochemical methods for the decontamination of natural water containing significant concentrations of aromatic pesticides is described. The electrochemical method is based on the electro-Fenton process, i.e. the simultaneous reduction of O_{2} and Fe^{3+} ions. Hydroxyl (OH^{.}) radicals are electrosynthesized in aqueous solutions, followed by complete mineralization of the initial pollutants. The photochemical methods involve either a direct photodegradation reaction of pesticides by UV light, or indirect photodegradation processes including H_{2}O_{2} photolysis or photo-Fenton reagents (H_{2}O_{2}/ Fe^{3+} ). Examples of the application of these methods to chlorophenoxy acid herbicides and four aromatic pesticides (bendiocarb, pirimiphos-methyl, …

Is There An Age Of The Universe Problem After The Hipparcos Data?, Murat Özer Jan 2001

Is There An Age Of The Universe Problem After The Hipparcos Data?, Murat Özer

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have reanalyzed the age of the universe problem under the assumption that the lower limit on the age of the globular clusters is \sim11 Gyr, as predicted by the recent Hipparcos data. We find that the globular cluster and the expansion ages in a standard \lambda=0 universe are consistent only if the present value H_0 of the Hubble constant is \leq 60{\rm kms}^{-1}Mpc^{-1}. If H_0>60{\rm kms}^{-1}Mpc^{-1} some kind of modification of the standard \lambda=0 model is required. Invoking a (time-independent) cosmological term \lambda in the Einstein field equations, as has been done frequently before, we have found that …


Effect Of Flux Re-Distribution On Resistivity In Granular Ybco, Muhammad Muneeb Asim, Syed Khurshid Hasanain Jan 2001

Effect Of Flux Re-Distribution On Resistivity In Granular Ybco, Muhammad Muneeb Asim, Syed Khurshid Hasanain

Turkish Journal of Physics

Dc resistivity of a zero-field cooled YBCO was previously studied as a function of angle between applied field and transport current. The resistivity followed a sin^{2}\theta variation that was understood as a consequence of Lorentz force like effect. The resistivity deviated from the harmonic curve giving a minimum at low angles before following the true sin^{2}\theta behavior. The angle corresponding to minimum voltage \theta_{min} has been thoroughly studied in this paper as a function of applied field, transport current and temperature. sin^{2}\theta behavior of resistivity is not affected by the fields below Hc1 at their respective temperatures. The angle \theta_{min} …

Calculation Of The Potential And Electric Flux Lines For Parallel Plate Capacitors With Symmetrically Placed Equal Lengths By Using The Method Of Conformal Mapping, Erhan Albayrak

Turkish Journal of Physics

The classical problem of the parallel-plate capacitors has been investigated by a number of authors, including Love [1], Langton [2] and Lin [3]. In this paper, the exact equipotentials and electric flux lines of symmetrically placed two thin conducting plates are obtained using the Schwarz- Cristoffel transformation and the method of conformal mapping. The coordinates x , y in the z-plane corresponding to the constant electric flux lines and equipotential lines are obtained after very detailed and cumbersome calculations. The complete field distribution is given by constructing the family of lines of electric flux and equipotential.

Lattice Dynamical Calculations For The Co-Fe Alloys, Kemal Çolakoğlu, Yasemi̇n Özteki̇n Çi̇ftçi̇

Turkish Journal of Physics

Lattice dynamical calculations are performed on Co_{0.92}-Fe_{0.08} alloy with fcc structure. The de Launay Angular force (DAF) model is used to represent the ion-ion intreactions, and the long-range ion-electron interactions are accounted for along the lines of the Sharma-Joshi scheme. The frequency distribution and the lattice specific heat are also computed for the studied alloys. The present theoretical results are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data.

The Investigation Of The Thermoluminescence Emission Bands Of Lif:Mg,Ti (Tld-100) By A Simple Developed Model, A. Necmeddi̇n Yazici, Z. Öztürk, M. Bedi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, a new simple model based on the classical treatment of lattice vibrations and the Franck-Condon principle is developed to describe the shape of thermoluminescence (TL) emission bands of crystalline solids. According to developed model, shape of the emission band has a Gaussian form and depends on just two physical parameters: peak energy E_{0} and broadening of emission spectra U. In order to demonstrate the success of the developed model, the emission spectra of dosimetric material LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) was also measured. Then, a computerised best-fit program including the developed model was used to analyse the emission spectra. The …

Some thermoelastic and thermodynamic properties such as Anderson-Grüneisen parameters \delta _{T}, and \delta _{S}, Volume thermal expansion coefficient \beta and Grüneisen gama \gamma _{G} have been calculated in terms of calculated values of S.O.E.C and Third Order Elastic Constant ( T.O.E.C).


Built-In Potential Measurements In A-Si:H P-I-N Solar Cells, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, Bengü Kaplan Jan 2001

Built-In Potential Measurements In A-Si:H P-I-N Solar Cells, Ruhi̇ Kaplan, Bengü Kaplan

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have measured the open-circuit voltage V_{oc} and the short-circuit current density J_{sc} of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) p-i-n solar cells deposited by radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) at different monochromatic illuminations, and temperatures. From the measurements, the built-in potential V_{bi} was determined by using two different methods: activation energy and differential temperature. The results from both methods were analyzed and compared as a function of excitation wavelength. It was observed that there is good agreement between the two methods. We found that V_{bi} increases until about 650 nm, and then decreases with increasing wavelength. This behaviour is explained and …

On The Evaluation Of Determinantal Wave Functions In Open-Shell Hartree-Fock Theory, I. I. Guseinov, Ramazan Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

Slater method is modified for the evaluation of determinantal wave functions appearing in open-shell Hartree-Fock (HF) theory [1]. Using modified Slater method we have calculated, as an example, the orbital energies and the wave functions of terms obtained from the electronic configuration of a ground state of an N-atom system in the Hartree-Fock-Roothaan (HFR) approximation. The modified determinantal method introduced in this paper can be of considerable help and importance in the simplification and calculation of atomic and molecular electronic structure.
