The scope of this thesis was to construct a NOX analysis test system based on ISO-22197:2007(E) standard that can monitor NO oxidation ability of photocatalytically active surfaces. The activity of cement based materials containing TiO2 on photocatalytic oxidation of NOX was observed in this test system. In addition, the experimental validity of the ISO-22197:2007(E) standard was verified. Improvements and modifications are recommended. The method was tested on TiO2 samples coated on the glass, coated on the grout and prepared in the grout samples. Doctor blade method and sol-gel method was used on the glass coating. Experiments indicated that TiO2 on the surface of the grout exhibits more catalytic activity in oxidation of NO than the same amount of TiO2 in the grout. The reaction order on TiO2 with respect to NO concentration is determined to be positive. Evidence was collected for photo-assisted NO adsorption on the surface of the sample. Cement-bound photo-catalysts are especially attractive for large-scale applications, because cement is a relatively low cost binder. TiO2 is widely used for the application to the improvement of the living environment due to anti-stain, self-cleaning, and super hydrophilic properties. It can be used simultaneously as a structural component and photocatalytically active material. NO oxidation is a diagnostic tool for photocatalytic activity. Standard methods are necessary to analyze the activity of photocatalytic materials on NOx oxidation. But, the only standard method validated to analyze photocatalytic activity is ISO-22197:2007(E) standard. In the experimental part, the effects of relative humidity, catalyst loading, inlet concentration of pollutant and total flow rate of inlet gas on NO oxidation rates were analyzed. In addition, photocatalytic the activity of some industrial samples for oxidation of NOX is investigated. The activity of the sample is improved with increasing TiO2 amounts. Photo-assisted adsorption of the NO on the surface of the sample was also observed. Experiments performed in dark indicated that UV irradiation created active sites over TiO2 for adsorption of NO. Water adsorption calorimetry studies indicated that TiO2 surfaces can easily adsorb water, with a heat of adsorption of 80 kJ/mol in the first monolayer. On the contrary oxygen adsorption is not as facile as water adsorption.

Atomic layer deposited Al2O3 passivation of type II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetectors
Salihoglu, Omer; Muti, Abdullah; Kutluer, Kutlu; Tansel, Tunay; Turan, Raşit; Kocabas, Coskun; Aydinli, Atilla (AIP Publishing, 2012-4)
Taking advantage of the favorable Gibbs free energies, atomic layer deposited (ALD) aluminum oxide (Al2O3) was used as a novel approach for passivation of type II InAs/GaSb superlattice (SL) midwave infrared (MWIR) single pixel photodetectors in a self cleaning process (lambda(cut-off) similar to 5.1 mu m). Al2O3 passivated and unpassivated diodes were compared for their electrical and optical performances. For passivated diodes, the dark current density was improved by an order of magnitude at 77 K. The ze...
Catalytic oxidation of nitrogen containing compounds for nitrogen determination
Karakaş, Gürkan (2019-02-15)
The high temperature catalytic oxidation (HTCO) performance of Al2O3 supported Pt, Cu, Cu-Ce and Fe catalysts were systematically studied with a perspective of selective oxidation of nitrogenous compounds to nitric oxide for quantitative determination of bound nitrogen. The catalyst samples were prepared via impregnation and characterized by XRD and BET. In addition, temperature programmed reaction experiments with acetonitrile and oxygen were conducted to evaluate the catalytic activity and selectivity tow...
Electrochemical and chemical oxidation of K(C2H5OCS2),[Ni(C2H5OCS2)(2)] and [N(C2H5)(4)][Ni(C2H5OCS2)(3)]
Dag, O; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Isci, H (1996-06-26)
Electrochemical and chemical oxidation of (Et-Xan(-)), [Ni(Et-Xan)(2)] and [Ni(Et-Xan)(3)](-) (Et-Xan(-) = C2H5OCS2- have been studied by Cyclic Voltammetry and in situ UV-Vis spectroscopy in acetonitrile at room temperature. Cyclic Voltammograms (CV) of Et-Xan(-) and Ni(Et-Xan)(2) display one (0.00 V) and two (0.35 and 0.80 V) irreversible oxidation peaks, respectively, referenced to Ag/Ag+(0.10 M) electrode. However, CV of Ni(Et-Xan)(3)(-) displays one reversible (-0.15 V) and two irreversible (0.35, 0.80...
Epoxidation of Ethylene by Silver Oxide (Ag2O) Cluster: A Density Functional Theory Study
Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; van Santen, Rutger A.; Önal, Işık (2011-06-01)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to study epoxidation of ethylene on a [Ag14O9] cluster model representing silver oxide (001) surface. Theoretical results obtained in this study showed that formation paths of acetaldehyde and vinyl alcohol have higher activation barriers than that of ethylene oxide formation path on silver oxide (35 and 35 vs. 20 kcal/mol). Formation of the ethylene oxometallocycle intermediate is found to have a low probability on Ag2O(001) surface. The essential ...
Kinetic analysis of DSC and thermogravimetry data for combustion of lignite
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (1996-06-01)
Thermal analysis increasingly being used to obtain kinetic data relating to sample decomposition. This work involves a comparative study of several methods used to analyse DSC and TG/DTG data obtained on the oxidation of Beypazari lignite. A general computer program was developed and the methods are compared with regard to their accuracy and the ease of interpretation of the kinetics of thermal decomposition. For this study, the ratio method was regarded as the preferred method, because it permits the estim...
