Fragmentation Of Xe^{129} In The Liquid-Gas Phase Transition Region, Mehmet Erdoğan, Ni̇hal Büyükçi̇zmeci̇, Riza Oğul Jan 2007

Fragmentation Of Xe^{129} In The Liquid-Gas Phase Transition Region, Mehmet Erdoğan, Ni̇hal Büyükçi̇zmeci̇, Riza Oğul

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

We analyzed the fragmentation of the Xe^{129} nucleus to determine the effects of surface and symmetry energies on the fragment distribution on the basis of the statistical multifragmentation model. Relative yields of fragments were classified with respect to the mass number of the fragments in the transition region. It was found that the symmetry energy of the hot fragments produced in the statistical freeze-out is very important for isotope distributions. However, its influence on the mean fragment mass distributions is negligible. On the other hand, it was demonstrated that surface energy significantly influences the fragment distribution while the symmetry energy …

Deactivation Of A Co-Precipitated Co/Al_2o_3 Catalyst, Meltem Yildiz, Ayşe Ni̇lgün Akin

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The effects of reaction temperature, feed ratio, space time, and CO percentage in feed on the deactivation conditions of a co-precipitated 36 wt% Co/Al_2O_3 catalyst in CO hydrogenation were investigated. Environmental-SEM-EDX and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) studies were performed on used catalysts to investigate the effect of reaction conditions on catalyst deactivation. Intensive coke deposition on the catalyst was observed at a reaction temperature of about 573 K. Increasing the H_2/CO ratio also increased the catalyst activity. Methane formed as the main product at high H_2/CO ratios. Although catalyst activity did not change significantly during the 9-h reaction period at all …

Role Of Tridentate Schiff Base And Methoxyethylindenyl Derivatives Of Lanthanocene Complexes For The Synthesis Of High Molecular Weight Polymethyl Methacrylate (Pmma), Muhammad Yousaf, Aftab Ahmad Chatha, Abdul Jabbar, H. Badaruddin Ahmad, Ameer Fawad Zahoor, Muhammad Kaleem Khosa, Syed Sarwar Alam

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Different mixed ligand lanthanocene complexes along with Al(i-Bu)_3 are capable of synthesizing partially syndiotactic high molecular weight polymethylmethacrylate. The Schiff base derivative of mixed ligand lanthanocene complexes (1-4) showed better efficiency (Mv = 227 \times 10^3-354 \times 10^3) compared to the methoxyethylindenyl derivative of mixed ligand lanthanocene complexes (5-9) (Mv = 72 \times 10^3, 172 \times 10^3). The effects of the catalyst, temperature, catalyst/MMA molar ratio, and catalyst/Al(i-Bu)_3 molar ratio on the polymerization of MMA at 60 °C suggested that ligand size and radius of rare earth metals play an important role in determining the activity of the catalyst.

Catalytic Processes For Clean Hydrogen Production From Hydrocarbons, Zeynep İlsen Önsan Jan 2007

Catalytic Processes For Clean Hydrogen Production From Hydrocarbons, Zeynep İlsen Önsan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Conversion of hydrocarbon fuels to hydrogen with a high degree of purity acceptable for fuel cell operation presents interesting challenges for the design of new selective catalysts and catalytic processes. Natural gas, LPG, gasoline, and diesel are regarded as promising hydrocarbon fuels. Methanol has received attention despite its toxicity, and ethanol has recently become of interest as a much less toxic and renewable resource. Selective catalytic processes considered for commercial use are based on steam reforming and partial oxidation of these fuels. Autothermal reforming (ATR) or indirect partial oxidation (IPOX) combines total oxidation (TOX), steam reforming (SR), and water-gas shift …

N,N`-Bis(1`-Hydroxy-2`-Acetonaphthone)Propylenediamine: Synthesis, Extractive Properties, And Use As An Ionophore In A Cu(Ii)-Selective Potentiometric Sensor, Daryoush Emadi, Mohammad Reza Yaftian, Saeed Rayati

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The binding ability of N,N'-bis(1'-hydroxy-2'-acetonaphthone)propylenediimine (H_2L) towards metal ions was investigated by performing liquid-liquid extraction experiments to extract Cu^{2+}, Ni^{2+}, Co^{2+}, and Zn^{2+} ions from nitrate solutions. Extraction takes place by a cation exchange mechanism and the ligand shows a pronounced selectivity towards Cu^{2+} ions. Conventional log-log analysis of the extraction data reveals that the Cu^{2+} ions are extracted by a 1:1 (metal to ligand) complex formation. The effect of parameters influencing the extraction process, such as type of diluent and concentration of electrolyte in the aqueous phase, has been studied. The selectivity of the ligand was evaluated by competitive …

A Mechanistic Approach To Elucidate Ethanol Electro-Oxidation, Ni̇yazi̇ Alper Tapan Jan 2007

A Mechanistic Approach To Elucidate Ethanol Electro-Oxidation, Ni̇yazi̇ Alper Tapan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In order to elucidate the mechanism of ethanol oxidation, a simple cylindrical diffusion-surface reaction was developed on a platinum disk electrode. An ethanol electro-oxidation mechanism was proposed, in which electrochemical reactions proceed without adsorption of any electro-oxidation products (C2 type) on the surface. After the simulation of the proposed mechanism, it was seen that the model can explain ethanol electro-oxidation behavior without any surface CO formation. The simulation of the mechanism indicated that the formation of acetaldehyde through the oxidation of bulk ethanol is the rate determining step between 0.6 and 0.75 V vs. RHE. After 0.75 V vs. RHE, …

Synthesis Of Piperazine Based Polyimide In The Presence Of Ionic Liquids, Bülent Alici, Süleyman Köytepe, Turgay Seçki̇n

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Ionic liquids derived from imidazolium, pyridinium, and alkylammonium salts were investigated not only as catalysts but also as solvents in polymerization of 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl) piperazine. Results were compared with the conventional polymerizations in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). The catalyst has not only a detectable influence on polymer solubility, but also the degrees of polymerization are notably higher. They are even greater than the values obtained by conventional 2-stage polymerization in organic liquids. Ionic liquids based on imidazolium salts seem preferable over pyridinium and alkylammonium salts due to the higher degree of polydispersity of the polyimides obtained. The glass transition temperatures and thermal stabilities …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Octahedral-like NiFe_2O_4 ferrite nanocrystals were synthesized using EDTA-assisted hydrothermal method under mild conditions. XRD and FTIR analysis were used for composition and structure investigation. XRD analysis revealed a pure ferrite phase with high crystallinity. Morphological investigation by SEM showed octahedral nanocrystals with an average particle size of \sim 40 nm. Crystallite size calculated from XRD peak broadening resulted in an average crystallite size of 39 nm, matching well with the SEM observations. TEM analysis and corresponding electron diffraction confirmed the octahedral morphology and single crystallinity of octahedral nanoparticles. Magnetic measurements showed that NiFe_2O_4 octahedrons have smaller coercivity than bulk ferrite …
