Evaluation Of Thermal Decomposition Kinetics Of Borax Pentahydrate Using Genetic Algorithm Method By Isothermal Analysis, Ömer Şahi̇n, A. Nusret Bulutcu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The thermal calcination of borax pentahydrate was investigated for both dehydration and decomposition steps at temperatures between 392 and 573 K in a controlled fluidized bed drier. The best kinetic parameters (reaction rate constants, reaction order and equilibrium values) of both steps were determined by the genetic algorithm (GA) method for each calcination temperature in respect of relative standard deviation. The values of the kinetic parameters showed that the dehydration step of borax pentahydrate was controlled by a homogeneous reaction of the order of about 2/3 whereas the decomposition step was controlled by a reaction order of about 1. These …

Flow Injection Amperometric Determination Of Ascorbic Acid Using A Photoelectrochemical Reaction After Immobilization Of Methylene Blue On Muscovite, Yusuf Di̇lgi̇n, Zekerya Dursun, Gürel Ni̇şli̇

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The photoelectrochemical determination of ascorbic acid (AA) was studied based on the photochemical reduction of methylene blue (MB) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). MB was used as a redox mediator for the modification of a carbon paste electrode (CPE) due to its facile reducible-oxidizible behaviour. Muscovite, which has a layered structure, was found to be a good and stable supporting material for the immobilization of MB by an ion exchange reaction. The dye is strongly retained and not easily leached from the matrix. MB was reduced to nearly quasi-reversible at the modified carbon paste electrode (MCPE). The oxidation …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The bromination of 1-cyclopent-1-en-1-ylbenzene (4) in different solvents and at different temperatures was accompanied by the evolution of hydrogen bromide and yielded 1-(5-bromocyclopent-1-en-1-yl)benzene (8). Further bromination of 8 gave exclusively 2R(S),5R(S)-1-(1,2,5-tribromocyclopentyl)benzene (11). The experimental results were compared with the theoretical ones based on semi-empirical (MM+ and AM1), Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT). The formation of 11 was explained by the formation of a weakly bridged bromoniun ion of type 9.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Conductive composite films of cis-1,4-polybutadiene (PBD) with polythiophene (PTh) were prepared electrochemically. Thiophene was polymerized on PBD-coated platinium electrodes. The composites with different PTh percentages showed conductivity in the order of 10^{-3} (\Omega cm)^{-1}. The characterization of the films was performed using FTIR, scanning electron microscope and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. In order to understand the dominant transport mechanism, the temperature dependence of conductivity was investigated.

A Novel, Semi-Pilot Scale Electrolysis System For The Production Of P-Aminophenol, Kamran Polat

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and preparative electrolysis techniques were used to investigate the reduction of nitrobenzene into (NB) p-aminophenol (p-Ap). The electrodes used in CV experiments were glassy carbon (GC), TiO_{2}/Ti, Sn and Pb. The preparative electrolyses were carried out by the use of Pb, Sn, carbon cloth and TiO_{2}/Ti electrodes. The CV data were evaluated according to Nicholson-Shain criteria, and it was deduced that the reductions on TiO_{2}/Ti and GC electrodes were irreversible and monitored by an electrochemical-chemical-electrochemical mechanism. No reduction peak was observed with Sn and Pb electrodes. Preparative electrolyses were carried out under current-controlled conditions in the presence …
