Silver-doped silica was prepared by hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS, Si(OC2H5)(4)) in the presence of a silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution by two different synthesis methods. In the first synthesis route, sol-gel mixtures were prepared using an acid catalyst. In the second synthesis route, silver-doped silica gels were formed by two-step acid/base catalysis. For the same concentration of silver dopant [AgNO3]/[TEOS] = 0.015 acid-catalyzed sol-gel formed a microporous silica with an average pore size of < 25 angstrom whereas the two-step catalyzed silica had an average pore size of 250 angstrom and exhibited a mesoporous structure when fully dried. The differences in the pore size affected the silver particle formation mechanism and post-calcination silver particle size. After calcination at 800 degrees C for 2 h the acid-catalyzed silica contained metallic silver particles size with an average particle size of 24 +/- 2 nm whereas two-step catalyzed silica with the same concentration of [AgNO3]/[TEOS] = 0.015 contained silver nanoparticles with an average size of approximately 32 +/- 2 nm. Mechanisms for silver particle formation and for silica matrix crystallization with respect to the processing route and calcination temperature are discussed.

Preparation, characterization, and antibacterial activity of organo-sepiolite/chitosan/silver bionanocomposites TEKİN, NALAN; Şafaklı, Akif; BUDAK, FATMA; KARA, ALİ (2019-05-01) Bionanocomposites with different loadings of silver (Ag) were prepared via synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the wet chemical reduction method in the lamellar space layer of the organo-sepiolite/chitosan (O-SEP/CS). The prepared O-SEP/CS/Ag bionanocomposites were characterized using various analysis methods for their structure, morphology, and optical properties. The characteristic absorption bands from the UV-visible absorption spectrum confirmed the formation of AgNPs. The antibacterial activiti...
Preparation and characterization of ni-nitrilotriacetic acid bearing Poly(Methacrylic acid) coated superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles TURAL, Bilsen; KAYA, Murat; Özkan, Necati; Volkan, Mürvet (2008-02-01) Stable superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation in the presence of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) in aqueous solution. The polymer coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) techniques. These measurements reveal the presence of magnetite nanoparticles with a size of approximately 8 nm inside...
PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HUMAN MENINGIOMA M2-TYPE PYRUVATE-KINASE MELLATI, AA; YUCEL, M; ALTINORS, N; Gündüz, Ufuk (1993-10-01) The M2-type pyruvate kinase was purified from human meningioma by ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by ion exchange and affinity chromatography. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 33.4 U/mg with a yield of 6.5%.
Preparation of lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3) by homogeneous precipitation and calcination Oren, EE; Tas, AC (1998-05-06) Aqueous solutions of lead chloride (PbCl2), zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2.8H(2)O) and titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), in appropriate volumetric amounts, were used as the starting materials in the synthesis of phase-pure Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3 powders. Preparation of the phase-pure PZT powders were achieved, in the presence of urea (CH4N2O), by the chemical powder synthesis route of homogeneous precipitation.
Synthesis, characterization and application of a novel mercapto- and amine-bifunctionalized silica for speciation/sorption of inorganic arsenic prior to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric determination Boyacı, Ezel; Shahwan, Talal; Eroglu, Ahmet E. (2011-09-15) A bifunctional sorbent, (NH(2) + SH)silica, containing both amine and mercapto functionalties was prepared by modification of silica gel with 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylamine and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane. In addition to the bifunctional sorbent, silica gel was modified individually with the functional mercapto- and amino-silanes, and the mono-functional sorbents, namely (SH)silica and (NH(2))silica, were also mechanically mixed ((NH(2))silica +(SH)silica) for the sake of comparison of sorption perfor...
