Perlite, a natural pozzolan, was activated with NaOH to prepare alkali-activated (AA) intumescent pastes. After curing at 100 degrees C for 3-24 h, the solidified pastes had medium strengths, up to 40 MPa, and low densities, similar to 1500-2000 kg/m(3), compared to Portland cement pastes. Upon heating, volume expansion in the 200-600 degrees C range resulted in a porous solid. Expansion occurs due to a loss of silanol condensation water, as vapor. Chemical composition of the pozzolan, activator content, and heat-treatment temperature influence the size and amount of pores formed. Mechanical, physical, and microscopic investigations were made. Volume increases up to 225% were measured. Densities decreased to as low as similar to 450 kg/m(3) after heat treatment and cooling. Strengths of porous products were in the 3-7 MPa range. Such materials able to intumesce over specific temperature ranges could be useful in applications where absorption of thermal energy is necessary, such as passive fire protection.

Alkali activation of a slag at ambient and elevated temperatures Altan, Ekin; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (2012-02-01) Strength development of alkali activated slag (AAS) mortars, activated using alkali hydroxide and sodium silicate, was investigated at room and elevated temperatures. Heat evolution at room temperature was measured using isothermal calorimetry. Important differences were observed between critical activation parameters. Heat cured specimens gain strength rapidly, humid oven conditions being favorable, but given sufficient time room temperature curing yields comparable strengths. Both activators are needed fo...
Enantioselective chemoenzymatic synthesis of oseltamivir (tamiflu)(r) intermediates Eşiyok, Hacı; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Biotechnology (2008) The objective of this presented study was to synthesize optically active compounds considered to be key intermediates in the synthesis of Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) by performing chemical and biotechnological methods. Thereof, the carboethoxy cyclohexenone skeleton first was synthesized utilizing easily available substances. The synthesis of alpha-hydroxy ketones in enantiomerically pure form offers a great importance in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Toward this fact, the enantioselective synth...
Electrochemical synthesis of crowned conducting polymers : nature of radical cations in polymerization and mechanism of conductivity Cihaner, Atilla; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Department of Chemistry (2004) Poly(dibenzo-18-crown-6) (Poly(DB18C6)) was synthesized by electrochemical oxidation of dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) using a mixture of acetonitrile and dichloromethane as solvent and tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBABF4) or tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) as supporting electrolyte. The anodic polymerization of DB18C6 was investigated using in-situ ESR and in-situ UV-VIS spectroscopic techniques. Spectroelectrochemical (SPEL) properties and thermal analysis of the resulting polymers h...
Covalent immobilization of invertase on chemically activated poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) microbeads Altinok, H.; Aksoy, S.; Tumturk, H.; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2006-10-01) Properties of invertase immobilized on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) microbeads activated by epichlorohydrin or cyanuric chloride were studied. After 20 repeated uses for 3 days, the activity of the immobilized enzyme was 92-93%.
Efficient synthesis of 1-alkoxycarbonyl-methyl-2-alkylpyrroles from dichloro- and methoxychloropropylalkyl ketones Gadzhili, RA; Nadzhafova, RA; Sesenoglu, O (2002-01-01) The condensation reaction of 2,3-dichloropropyl- and 2-methoxy-3-chloropropyl alkyl ketones with alkyl 2-aminoacetate salts leads to 1-alkoxy-carbonylmethyl-2-alkylpyrroles. These compounds, with various bases, gave 1-carbamoylmethyl-, 1-dialkylaminocarbonylmethyl-, 1-carbazoyl methyl-2-alkylpyrroles and potassium salt of 2-alkyl-pyrrolyl-1-acetic acid.
