Publication Metadata only Radioisotope Excited X Ray Fluorescence Analysis of Ashes From Coal Power Plants of Turkey(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998-01) Başsarı, A.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127Fifteen ash samples taken from filters and bottom products of boilers or chimneys of seven coal fired power plants in Turkey have been analysed quantitatively for some minor elements using radioisotope energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF). It is found that samples contain Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Zr, Mo, Cs, Sb, Ba, Pb, Y, La, Ce, Nd and Sm in different amounts. An ash sample taken from the electro-filter of the Ambarli, fuel oil fired-power plant was also analysed for comparison and found that it contained the smallest amount of potentially toxic elements.Publication Metadata only The FT IR and laser Raman Spectral Investigation of 4 4 Bipyridily Transition Metal II Tetracyanonickelate Clathrates(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996-03) Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127The FT-IR and Raman spectra are reported of M(4,4′-bipyridyl)Ni(CN)4·nG (where M = Mn, Fe, Co, Cu or Zn and G = benzene or aniline;n = 0–2) clathrates. The host structure consists of a three-dimensional rigid lattice formed by infinite polymeric layers of {M-Ni(CN)4}∞ and 4,4′-bipyridyl bridges between the metal (M) atoms of the adjacent polymeric layers. Bidentate 4,4′-bipyridyl molecules are found to be centrosymmetric in the structure.Publication Metadata only FT IR EDXRF and gamma Isotopic Analyses of Ashes from Coal Fired Power Plants of Turkey(Taylor and Francis Online, 1996) Varinlioğlu, Ahmet; Köse, Abdullah; Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127Nine ash samples collected from five coal fired power plants of Turkey have been analysed by FT-IR, EDXRF and γ -isotopic analyses methods. IR spectroscopy together with mineralogical analysis is found to be a useful method for investigating the inorganic chemical composition of the ashes which is an inherently variable material due to differences in the inorganic chemical composition of the source coal and in ash collection. Gamma-isotopic analysis indicated that all samples contained Ra-226, U-238 and Th-232. On the other hand Cs-137 (16.3 pCi/g) was found only in the ash sample collected from the Yatağan coal fired power plant. An ash sample taken from the electro-filter of the Ambarli, a fuel oil fired-power plant of Turkey, was also analysed for comparision and found that it contained least amount of U-238.Publication Metadata only FT IR and FT Raman Spectral Investigations of Anatolian Attapulgite and its Interaction with4 4 Bipyridyl(Elsevier, 1995-04-01) Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127The adsorption of 4,4′-bipyridyl by natural attapulgite from Anatolia (Turkey) has been studied using vibrational spectroscopy. Investigations of Fourier-transform infrared and Fourier-transform Raman spectra of adsorbed 4,4′-bipyridyl indicate the presence of physical and chemical sorbed surface species. No anionic surface species has been observed. It is proposed that chemisorbed 4,4′-bipyridyl molecules are coordinated to either Lewis acidic centers or surface hydroxyls as monodentate ligands.Publication Metadata only A Vibrational Spectroscopic Study of the Adsorption of 4 4 Bipyridiyl by Smectite Group Clay Minerals From Anatolia Turkey(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1993-06) Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 1012The adsorption of 4,4′-bipyridyl by natural sepiolite and smectite group clay minerals (bentonite, hectorite and saponite) from Anatolia (Turkey) has been studied using vibrational spectroscopy. Investigation of Fourier-transform infrared and Fourier-transform Raman spectra of adsorbed 4,4′-bipyridyl indicate the presence of chemisorbed species. However, any evidence for the generation of anionic species on the surface of the phyllosilicates has not been detected. It is proposed that the adsorbed bipyridyl molecules on sepiolite are centrosymmetric and H-bonded to the surface hydroxyls through both the nitrogen lone pairs as bidentate ligands. The adsorbed bipyridyl molecules on the smectite group clays are coordinated to exchangeable cations both directly and also indirectly through water as monodentate ligands. XRD patterns of the clays studied are also recorded.Publication Metadata only Fourier transform Raman and fourier transform ir spectroscopic investigation of pyrazine adsorbed by sepiolite and bentonite from anatolia(Wiley Online Library, 1995-08) Erbölükbaş Özel, Ayşen; Esmer, Kadir; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 110745; 10127; 24570The adsorption of pyrazine by two different Anatolian sepiolites and by natural and ion‐exchanged (Fe, Co, Cu and Sn) bentonites was investigated by vibrational spectroscopy. The spectroscopic results indicate that the pyrazine molecules adsorbed on sepiolite and bentonites are coordinated to either surface hydroxyls by H‐bonding interaction (in the case of sepiolite) or to exchangeable cations (in the case of bentonites) through both nitrogen lone pairs as bidentate ligands. X‐ray diffraction patterns of the clays were also recorded and the basal spacings of pyrazine‐treated natural and ion‐exchanged bentonites were found to be around 14.7 Å. The results suggest that pyrazine molecules intercalate the interlayers of bentonite with a monolayer arrangement.Publication Metadata only A Fourier-transform infrared and laser-Raman spectroscopic investigation of 4,4′-bipyridyl-transition metal(II) tetracyanonickelate clathrates(1996-03) Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127The FT-IR and Raman spectra are reported of M(4,4-bipyridyl)Ni(CN)4nG (where M = Mn, Fe, Co, Cu or Zn and G = benzene or aniline;n = 0–2) clathrates. The host structure consists of a three-dimensional rigid lattice formed by infinite polymeric layers of {M-Ni(CN)4} and 4,4-bipyridyl bridges between the metal (M) atoms of the adjacent polymeric layers. Bidentate 4,4-bipyridyl molecules are found to be centrosymmetric in the structure.Publication Metadata only Adsorption of 2 2 Bipyridyl onto Sepiolite Attapulgite and Smectite Group Clay Minerals from Anatolia FT IR and FT Raman Spectra of Surface and Intercalated Species(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1994-06) Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127The adsorption of 2,2′-bipyridyl by natural sepiolite, attapulgite, hectorite, saponite and natural and ion exchanged (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn or Sn) bentonites has been investigated by FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopy. Spectroscopic results indicate that most of the adsorbed molecules are coordinated to either exchangeable cations (in the case of smectite group clays) or Lewis acidic centres (in the case of sepiolite and attapulgite) as bidentate ligands. The formation of monoanionic surface species has also been detected, to a relatively small extent. No physisorbed surface species has been observed. XRD patterns and UV-visible spectra of the samples are also recorded for additional information.Publication Metadata only Uranium analysis by neutron induced fissionography method using solid state nuclear track detectors(Elsevier, 1999-06) Tretyakova, S. P.; Güzel, T.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127In this study total twenty samples (eight reference materials and twelve sediment samples) were analysed for their uranium content which is in the range of 1–17 μg/g, by neutron induced fissionography (NIF) method using solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) in comparison with the results of neutron activation analysis (NAA), delayed neutron counting (DNC) technique or fluorometric method. It is found that NIF method using SSNTDs is very sensitive for analysis of uranium.Publication Metadata only Determination of Elements in Bone of Tuberculous arthritis Patients by Radioisotope X Ray Fluorescence Analysis(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998-06) Başsarı, A.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127The quantitative analysis of the human femoral bone of 17 tuberculosis-arthritis (Koch-arthritis) patients (9 males and 8 females) in the age range of 45–65, for Ca, P, Zn, Sr, Ba, La and Ce were performed by using radioisotope energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and the results were compared with those of 12 healthy control groups (8 males and 4 females) in the age range of 37–58. The results indicate that the concentrations of P, Ca, and Sr in the control group are higher than those in the patient group, while the concentrations of Zn, Ba, La and Ce are not significantly different.
