Selenium is a trace and essential element for good health but required only in very narrow range. Hence, determination of selenium in trace level in any matrix related with human health is important. A preconcentration method is performed to obtain a low detection limit for analyte. In this study, the methodology of cloud point extraction (CPE) was used as the preconcentration method for speciation of selenium in vitamin tablets. Non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 and a fluorimetric ligand, 2,3- diaminonaphtalene (DAN) were used for the extraction of trace levels of organic and inorganic selenium species as a prior step to their determination by spectrofluorimetry. The aqueous solutions of nonionic and zwitterionic surfactant materials become cloudy when temperature reaches the cloud point temperature and analyte collapses with surface active material. The volume of surfactant rich phase is smaller than the solution volume and by this way high preconcentration factor was obtained. Optimization of the CPE parameters affecting complexation and phase separation was performed. Standard addition method was used in the quantitative measurements. Spectrofluorimetric determination of selenium was done using excitation and emission wavelegths of 380 nm end 570 nm respectively. The detection limit, established as 3s /slope where s is the standard deviation of 12 measurements of 0.02 mg/L Se-DAN complex after 10 fold preconcentration was 2.3 µg/L. Accuracy of the method was checked using EnviroMat Waste Water, EU-L-2 as SRM and the result was in good agreement with certified value.Besides, selenium rich vegetables (dill, watercress herb and garlic) were grown in a pot at a controlled atmosphere.Selenium in plants (dill, watercress gerb and garlic), both control and enriched groups was determined by ICP-MS.

Speciation of selenium in vitamin tablets using spectrofluorometry following cloud point extraction Guler, Nehir; Maden, Mervegul; Bakirdere, Sezgin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Volkan, Mürvet (2011-12-15) Selenium is one of the trace and essential elements for good health but required only in a very narrow range. Hence, determination of selenium in trace level is important. In this work, cloud point extraction (CPE) with non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 and the fluorometric ligand, 2,3-diaminonaphtalene (DAN) were used for extraction of trace amounts of organic and inorganic selenium species prior to their determination by spectrofluorometry. CPE parameters affecting complexation and phase separation were o...
Studies on photochemical vapor generation of selenium Çetmeli , Melis; Ertaş, Gülay; Department of Chemistry (2019) Selenium is a significant trace element for human health. Selenium can be essential or toxic for human body depending on its concentration. Within the scope of this thesis, photochemical vapor generation tungsten coil atomization technique has been studied for the determination of selenium. Volatile selenium compounds were generated by exposure of UV light of the solution containing selenium and acetic acid. To increase sensitivity of photochemical vapor generation system, the technique was combined with tu...
Surface Characterization and Biocompatibility of Selenium-Doped Hydroxyapatite Coating on Titanium Alloy Yilmaz, Bengi; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Banerjee, Sreeparna (2016-11-01) Selenium-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) was biomimetically coated on Ti6Al4V plates with the aim of combining the anticancer and antibacterial properties of selenium with the biocompatibility and bioactivity of HA. For the coating process, the composition of 1.5 x SBF (solution with ion concentrations at 1.5 times that of simulated body fluid, SBF) was modified to include 0.15 mM selenate (SeO42-) ion. The selenium-doped HA coating was characterized by several methods, such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray...
Speciation studies using hplc-icp-ms and hplc-es-ms Bakırdere, Sezgin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2009) Knowledge about selenium content of foods containing selenium species is very important in terms of both nutrition and toxicity. Bioavailability of selenium species for human body is different from each other. Hence, speciation of selenium is more important than total selenium determination. In the selenium speciation study, chicken breast samples, selenium supplement tablets and egg samples were analyzed for their selenium contents. In chicken breast study, chickens were randomly categorized into three gro...
Fermentation and oxygen transfer characteristics in serine alkaline protease production by recombinant Bacillus subtilis in molasses-based complex medium Calik, G; Pehlivan, N; Ozcelik, IS; Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (Wiley, 2004-11-01) Serine alkaline protease (SAP) production in a complex medium based on physically pretreated molasses by recombinant Bacillus subtilis carrying pHV1431::subC gene is described. The effects of oxygen transfer were investigated in 3.5 dm(3) bioreactor systems with controls for agitation rate, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and foam formation under two different agitation rates, ie N = 500 and 750 min(-1), and four different air flow rates, ie Q/V-R = 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 vvm, at a molasses concentration...
