Because of their high ion exchange capacity, silver exchanged LTA (Ag-LTA) zeolites can be incorporated in polymeric materials as antibacterial agents for various purposes such as preventing biofouling in water treatment membranes due to the formation of microorganisms like bacteria, algae. Ag-LTA can be prepared by exchanging extra-framework Na+ ions in an aqueous solution containing Ag+ ions. Since the release amount and rate of Ag+ ions from the zeolite are crucial factors determining the antibacterial efficiency of these materials, it is important to understand the ion-exchange dynamics to develop membranes featuring enhanced antibacterial activity. In this work, quantum mechanical calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to elucidate the effects of several parameters on Ag+/Na+ ion exchange rates in LTA-type zeolites. Two different membrane systems in which Ag-LTA crystal in contact with Na+ containing electrolyte solution and Na-LTA crystal in contact with Ag+ containing electrolyte solution were modeled. The electrostatic charges of the framework and the surface atoms at the crystal/solution interface were determined via periodic DFT calculations at PW91/DNP level. The ion exchange dynamics between the LTA crystal and the electrolyte solution was followed by long MD simulations. First order kinetics was assumed for ion-exchange rates and the ion concentration in and out of the membrane, temperature and crystal thickness were considered as the principal parameters affecting the release rate. The changes in the ion release rates and ion-exchange ratios were analyzed by varying these parameters. Our simulations reproduced experimentally established relationships between considered parameters and ion exchange dynamics.

Silver nanoparticles in the presence of Ca2+ as a selective and sensitive probe for the colorimetric detection of cysteine
Hajizadeh, Salahaddin; Farhadi, Khalil; Forough, Mehrdad; Molaei, Rahim (2012-06-01)
A sensitive and selective cysteine colorimeric sensor based on the interaction between cysteine, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and calcium ions has been developed. In the presence of Ca2+ and NaCl, cysteine could rapidly induce the aggregation of AgNPs, thereby resulting in a yellow-to-red color change. The presence of 10 mM NaCl in the samples decreases the electrostatic repulsion and accelerates the aggregation of AgNPs. Results demonstrated that other amino acids cannot change the color of AgNPs solution ...
Fullerol based enzyme mimics and synthesis effort of tetra aryl pyranone
Soydan, Medine; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Chemistry (2021-2-12)
Although, natural enzymes have high catalytic activity and specificity, they are fragile and costly due to long purification processes. Therefore, scientists started to design and synthesize structures with enzyme-like activity called nanozymes to overcome the limitations of the natural enzymes. In the first part of this project, amino acids of catalytic site of three enzymes were conjugated into fullerol.The names of three enzymes are lactate dehydrogenase, protease and nitrilase.Then, t...
Silver nanoparticles-tragacanth gel as a green membrane for effective extraction and determination of capecitabine
Hajizadeh, Salahaddin; Farhadi, Khalil; Molaei, Rahim; Forough, Mehrdad (Wiley, 2020-07-01)
A novel eco-friendly and effective electromembrane extraction method combining high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection was developed for the enrichment and determination of capecitabine. Tragacanth-silver nanoparticles conjugated gel was prepared by dissolving the tragacanth powder in synthesized silver nanoparticles solution and was used as a green membrane in electromembrane extraction. The porosity and presence of silver nanoparticles in the gel were characterized by field emission scann...
Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate production by lactic acid bacteria
Aslim, B; Caliskan, F; Beyatli, Y; Gündüz, Ufuk (1998-02-15)
Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate was determined in lactic acid bacteria belonging to the genera Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Pediococcus and Streptococcus. Lactobacilli were grown in MRS broth, the others were grown in Elliker broth medium. Cell biomass was obtained by centrifugation. The cell walls were lysed with sodium hypochlorite. Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate was extracted using chloroform in a Soxhlet system. Then it was converted to crotonic acid using sulfuric acid and the amount of crotonic acid was measured ...

ZHU, J; Karakaya, İshak; THOMPSON, WT (The Electrochemical Society, 1988-01-01)
To further the understanding of electrolytes of value in industrial magnesium electrolysis, the reversible emf for the formation of in fused salts containing and was studied. The data made possible the calculation of thermodynamic solution properties which were used with other data to construct features of the ternary phase diagram. The multiple discrete complex anion (MDCA) model was tested against the thermodynamic findings from the present study. Reasonable agreement was obtained between the experimen...
