Amperometric Biosensing Of Ethanol Based On Integration Of Alcohol Dehydrogenase With A Pt/Ppy--Pvs/Mb Electrode, Özlem Çolak, Fatma Arslan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A novel amperometric ethanol biosensor with alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD^+) on polypyrrole--polyvinylsulfonate (PPy-PVS) film was accomplished. Meldola's blue (MB) was used as a mediator; it can facilitate the electron transfer that involves a chemical interaction between the electrode surface and NADH. Determination of ethanol was carried out by the oxidation of MB at --0.072 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The effects of pH and temperature were investigated and optimum parameters were found to be 7.0 and 40 °C, respectively. There are 2 linear parts at 1.0 \mu M--10.0 \mu M (R^2 = 0.993) and 0.01 mM--0.1 mM (R^2 …

Gaseous And Dissolved Oxygen Sensing With Stabilized Pyrene In Ionic Liquid Modified Electrospun Slides, Özlem Öter, Gülhan Sabanci Şahi̇n Jan 2015

Gaseous And Dissolved Oxygen Sensing With Stabilized Pyrene In Ionic Liquid Modified Electrospun Slides, Özlem Öter, Gülhan Sabanci Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Pyrene dye has many superior characteristics for oxygen sensing studies such as long fluorescence lifetime, high quantum yield, and good sensitivity. It is preferred in some cases over ruthenium dyes for its more lipophilic character and higher sensitivity. However, easy photodegradation of pyrene is a challenging problem. In this study, pyrene dye was for the first time immobilized in an ethyl cellulose matrix and used for oxygen sensing in the form of thin films and electrospun sensing slides. The hydrophobic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate was used as additive for the first time for dissolved oxygen sensing studies. The oxygen sensitivity …

Kinetics Study And Influence Of Water-Soluble Polymer On The Electrodeposition Of Iron From A Citrate-Chloride Electrolyte On The Basis Of Fe(Iii), Vyacheslav Protsenko, Felix Danilov

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The kinetics of the iron electrodeposition reaction from a plating bath containing trivalent iron ions is investigated in the present work. The electrochemical reaction is stated to proceed via the formation of relatively stable intermediates: Fe(II) ions. Only a part of the total amount of Fe(II) ions formed at the first stage of Fe(III) discharge is reduced further, producing metal iron. The effect of polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride (with an average molecular weight of 1000) on the iron deposition is ascertained. The presence of polymer additive in the iron electrolyte appreciably affects the rate of iron deposition, while the polymer additive does …

Acid-Free Synthesis Of S-Nitrosothiols At Neutral Ph By Shock-Freezing In Liquid Nitrogen, Dimitrios Tsikas, Anke Böhmer, Arne Trettin, Arslan Arinç Kayaçelebi̇

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A laboratory method for the acid-free synthesis of S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) from NaNO$_{2}$ and thiols in aqueous buffer of neutral pH is reported. Equimolar amounts of NaNO$_{2}$ and thiol are added to a 100-$\mu $M Na$_{4}$EDTA-containing Na$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$ buffer (100 mM, pH 7.4). Samples are set into liquid nitrogen for 1 min and then thawed to room temperature or in an ice bath. Dependent upon the RSNO, repetition of the procedure may be required. This method may be of particular importance when the classical acid-based method fails or releases harmful gases such as H$_{2}$S.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A hydrothermal method was applied in the synthesis of mesoporous silicates containing silicotungstic acid (STA). The synthesis procedures were developed by modification of procedures previously applied in the synthesis of MCM-41 and SBA-15. The synthesized catalysts were named MCM-41-S and SBA-15-S based on MCM-41 and SBA-15. Their activities were investigated in ethyl acetate production, which was selected as the model reaction. The results indicated that the activity of SBA-15-S catalysts increased with increasing STA in the catalyst. Reaction experiments were also conducted in identical conditions in the presence of catalysts recovered after the reaction. The results indicated that sustainable activity …
