Toxicological studies have shown that the degree of toxicity of some elements depends on the chemical form in which the element is present. Chromium (III) is considered as an essential micronutrient for human whereas chromium (VI) is a potentially carcinogenic agent. So the speciation of inorganic chromium in environmental samples is required for accurate assessment of pollution levels. The chromium content in natural water is usually very low, and a preconcentration is often necessary prior to the determination. A sensitive and selective preconcentration and speciation procedure is developed for the determination of trace and ultra trace amounts of chromium species by utilizing chemiluminescence (CL) and flame atomic absorption spectrometric (FAAS) techniques. The performances of amino silica-gel, amino sol-gel, mercapto silica-gel beads and metal oxides for solid phase extraction of chromium are examined either in column or batch type studies. Considering the advantage of concentrating Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions separately simply by adjusting the pH of the medium, amino silica-gel resin is chosen in this study. The influences of different experimental parameters on the separation and preconcentration of chromium species such as pH, eluent concentration, flow rate, particle size of the resin are investigated. Chemiluminescence detection studies are performed by using the catalytic effect of Cr (III) on the reaction between luminol and hydrogen-peroxide and Cr (VI) is detected after reduction to Cr (III). Luminol and H2O2 concentrations and the pH of the medium are optimized to increase the sensitivity of the system. Chemiluminescence is inherently a very sensitive technique. When a preconcentration step is included in the CL mesurement of very low concentrations of chromium is possible to determine. Indeed, a 25-fold enhancement in sensitivity of chromium ions is

Lead determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry using a slotted quartz tube atom trap and metal coatings Demirtaş, İlknur; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2009) Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS) still keeps its importance despite the relatively low sensitivity; because it is a simple and economical technique for determination of metals. In recent years atom traps have been developed to increase the sensitivity of FAAS. Although the detection limit of FAAS is only at the level of mg/L, with the use of atom traps it can reach to ng/mL. Slotted quartz tube (SQT) is one of these atom traps, it is applied for determination of volatile elements; it is economica...
Inorganic antimony speciation using tungsten coil atom trap and hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry Akay, Pınar; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2010) Antimony is a toxic element which is mostly found in two oxidation states (III and V) in environmental, biological and geological samples. Antimony may form various inorganic and organic compounds that exhibit differences in analytical behavior, toxicity and mobility; inorganic compounds of antimony are more toxic than organic forms and toxicity of Sb(III) has been shown to be 10 times higher than that of Sb(V). Therefore selective determination of Sb(III) and Sb(V) is required in environmental and biologic...
Development of new synthetic methodologies for indole derivatives Kılıklı, Ahmet Alper; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2010) Synthesizing nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds is one of the leading research areas throughout the organic chemistry due to their significant activities on biological systems. Among the various biologically active molecules, indole derivatives are of prime importance on the grounds of their proven clinical roles. Objective of this study is to synthesize new indole derivatives those may contribute treatment of several diseases like their analogues via a recently developed synthetic methodology. Besi...
ON THE FICKIAN DIFFUSION OF ORGANIC PENETRANTS IN GLASSY-POLYMERS TOSUN, I; Yılmaz, Levent (Wiley, 1982-01-01) Fickian diffusion of organic penetrants in glassy polymers is formulated as a moving‐boundary problem, and the effect of concentration‐dependent diffusivity on the concentration distribution is investigated. The solutions obtained for concentration‐dependent and constant diffusivity cases are compared. The results show that the concentration distribution curves differ both quantitatively and qualitatively. It is concluded that the sharp advancing boundary between the glassy and rubbery regions is due not on...
Asymmetric synthesis of chiral camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts Küçükdişli, Murat; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2009) Chiral pyridines as organocatalysts have been used in asymmetric organic synthesis in recent years. The asymmetric synthesis of camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts were perfomed starting from cheap and easily available natural (+)-camphor. Using camphor fused pyridine skeleton, six organocatalysts 29, 32, 33, 38, 40, and 41were successfully synthesized. The first four nucleophilic and Lewis base catalysts 29, 32, and 33 are different P-oxides and P,N-dioxides which were tested in allylation of...
