Cross-Correlation Noise Studies In Atomic Magnet-Optic Rotation Spectroscopy, Ahmet T. İnce Jan 2001

Cross-Correlation Noise Studies In Atomic Magnet-Optic Rotation Spectroscopy, Ahmet T. İnce

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Analytical signals in an Atomic Magneto-Optic Rotation spectrometer are buried in noise at the limit of detection. The noisy analytical signals were analysed by carrying out mathematical correlation of their time domain waveforms. The noise components of signals were removed by auto-correlation to simplify the study. If noise interferes in analytical signals whose source is unclear, a cross-correlation of the output waveform with noise source may identify the source, e.g., mains frequencies and background radio signals. A cross-correlation will reveal whether the two signals are derived from the same source. This can also lead to an improvement in the signal …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes of 2-Benzoyl-3-hydroxy-1-naphthylamino-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-on, which is a derivative of carboxamide, were prepared and characterized by elemental, spectral and magnetic methods. Based on the analytical results, electronic and infrared spectral data and magnetic susceptibility measurements, suitable structures have been proposed. The formation of the complexes in solution was investigated conductometrically. 2-Benzoyl-3-hydroxy-1-naphthylamino-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-on was found to be a bidentate ligand coordinating through enolic oxygen and amide nitrogen. The complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) are proposed to have an octahedral structure, while Cd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) are suggested to possess a square-planar environment in the complexes.

A Novel Technique For Silver Extraction From Silver Sulphide Ore, Sevda Ayata, Hüseyi̇n Yildiran

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A novel technique for silver extraction from Ag_2S is described. The method utilizes thiosulphate as complexing reagent and the redox reaction between SO_2 added as Na_2SO_3 powder and H_2S gas evolved. The parameters of the reaction such as pH, the reaction temperature, the complex equilibrium of Ag^+ ion with thiosulphate and the solubility of Ag_2S were investigated. Silver ions, obtained by this means are collected in high purity (99%) by applying appropriate electrolysis conditions. The interference from other metallic impurities, namely copper, gold, iron and zinc, is eliminated by choosing an appropriate electrolysis potential.

Usefulness Of A Technique Based On Negative Corona Discharge For The Degradation Of Selected, Condensed Pahs: Application To The Oxidation Of Anthracene And Similar Structures, D. Tessi̇er, C. Oguic, J. Pinart, J. J. Aaron

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The usefulness of negative corona discharge for oxidation of condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including anthracene, naphthalene and 2,3-benzanthracene, adsorbed on a solid substrate is evaluated. In the case of anthracene, the application of corona discharge under high voltage (10-20 kV) for 10 to 180 min with a current intensity of 5-120 \mu A in a controlled, humid atmosphere leads to the progressive formation of anthraquinone. A kinetic study of the anthracene oxidation shows that the apparent half-lives range from 5 to 48 min, according to the initial anthracene amount (50-5000 nmol), indicating a reaction order between 0 and 1. …

Accumulation Of Heavy Metals In Freshwater Organisms: Assessment Of Toxic Interactions, Neylan Di̇ri̇lgen

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Heavy metals are continuously released into the terrestrial environment by natural sources and human activities. The uptake and accumulation of heavy metals by plants promotes a mechanistic understanding of the biological significance of particular metal concentrations and distributions in biota. The toxicity of chromium, zinc, copper and cobalt ions and their binary mixtures are studied at varying test levels using duckweed as the test organism. The accumulation of metal ions are determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The type of toxic interactions in binary mixtures is assessed as `synergistic', `antagonistic' and `additive' by a statistical approach.

Incorporation Of Edta For The Elimination Of Metal Inhibitory Effects In An Amperometric Biosensor Based On Mushroom Tissue Polyphenol Oxidase, Arzum Erdem, Di̇lşat Özkan, Burcu Meri̇ç, Kağan Kerman, Mehmet Özsöz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Enzyme based biosensors are highly selective devices which rely on the specific binding of the target analyte (the substrate) to the active-site regions of the enzyme. The enzymatic reaction between mushroom tissue polyphenol oxidase and its substrate phenol is coupled with the use of potassium ferrocyanide (K_{4}Fe(CN)_{6}) as the mediator in ammonia buffer solution (pH 8.80). The response of devices is often affected by the presence of inhibitors, which combine with the free enzyme in a manner that prevents substrate binding. The objective of this study is to describe an efficient and yet simple strategy to eliminate the interference of …

Reaction Mechanism And Kinetics Of Aqueous Solutions Of 2-Amino -2 Methyl-1,3- Propanediol And Carbonyl Sulphide, Erdoğan Alper

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The mechanism and kinetics of the reaction between aqueous solutions of COS and a sterically hindered primary amine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (AMPD), were investigated at 288-303 K using a stopped-flow technique. It was found that the reaction order according to power law kinetics was between 1.12 and 1.16 for an amine concentration range of 0.5 to 1.5 kmol m^{-3} . This overall order indicated that the thiocarbamate formation was complex and possibly involved a zwitterion intermediate. However, the experimental results can also be explained in terms of a single-step termolecular reaction mechanism. The kinetic rate parameters for aqueous AMPD solutions were obtained …

Investigations On The Electrochemical Surface Treatment Of Carbon Fibers, Erdal Bayramli, Levent Toppare, Naci̇ Kutay Eri̇nç

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Desized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based carbon fibers (CF) were chemically and electrochemically oxidized and reduced. CF surfaces were activated via cyclic voltammetry studies with anodic and cathodic scans. The changes in CF surfaces were studied by contact angle measurements. Lifshitz-van der Waals and acid-base components of single fibers were determined. In general, oxidation resulted in the formation of an acidic surface energy component and reduction gave rise to no change in the number of basic functionalities at the CF surface.

Secondary Amine Mediated Ring-Opening Of Tetrahydroimidazo[1,5- B ][1,2,4]Oxadiazol-2(1 H )-Ones, Necdet Coşkun

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

5,6,7,7a-Tetrahydroimidazo [1,5- b ][1,2,4]oxadiazol-2(1 H )-ones 1a-g converted to imidazoles in the presence of secondary amines. cis-Imidazooxadiazolones 1d-g gave the imidazoles 4d-g when treated with secondary amines, while the treatment of these compounds with tertiary amines afforded imidazoline 3-oxides 5d-g. In case of 1a-c, where R^1 is a hydrogen, tertiary amines induced elimination to give imidazoles 4a-c. In the case of 1a-c, probable trans elimination caused by triethylamine and pyridine and in the case of 1d-f, a concerted double cis elimination mediated by secondary amines is discussed.

The former function calculates consistently higher activation energies than the latter. The mean values of the activation energies in the \\alpha range 0.1-0.7, are 56-66 kJ mol^{-1} in the Ozawa method.

Flow Injection Analysis For Boron Determination By Using Methyl Borate Generation And Flame Atomic Emission Spectrometry, Deni̇z Yurtsever Sarica, Nusret Ertaş

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Boron is one of the least sensitive elements in atomic emission spectrometry. As various refractory substances interfere in the analysis and because of the low sensitivity, sample enrichment and the separation of the interfering matrix is needed. Methyl borate has many advantages because of its simple generation conditions and its stability in the absence of moisture. New procedures for the generation of methyl borate without using external heating have also been investigated to produce a more rapid determination of boron. The on-line combination of flow injection analysis using methyl borate generation with flame atomic emission spectrometry as the detector is …
