In this study, properties and hydration characteristics as well as paste microstructure of blended cements containing 55% by weight zeolitic tuff composed mainly of clinoptilolite mineral were investigated. Free Ca(OH)(2) content, crystalline hydration products and decomposition of zeolite crystal structure, pore size distribution and microstructural architecture of hydrated cement pastes were examined. Superplasticizer requirement and compressive strength development of blended cement mortars were also determined. The blended cements containing high volume of natural zeolites were characterized with the following properties: (i) no free Ca(OH)(2) in hardened pastes at the end of 28 days of hydration, (ii) less proportion of the pores larger than 50 nm when compared to portland cement paste, (iii) complete decomposition of crystal structure of zeolite at the end of 28 days oil. hydration, (iv) presence of tetra calcium aluminate hydrate as a crystalline product of pozzolanic reaction, (v) more compatibility with the melamine-based superplasticizer when compared to the naphthalene based product, and (vi) similar 28 days compressive strength of mortars to that of reference portland cement.

Fatty acid methyl ester analysis of bacterşal isolates from salt lake, Turkey and characterization of their extracellular enzymes Bahçeci, Hümeyra; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004) In this study, 11 bacterial isolates from Salt Lake,Turkey were identified by using fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis. They were screened for production of industrially important enzymes xylanase, cellulase, a-amylase and protease. These enzymes were characterized in terms of enzyme activity, stability, optimum temperature and optimum pH. One of the isolates was identified as Bacillus pumilus, and two of them were identified as Bacillus subtilis. Other isolates were determined to be Bacillus lichenifo...
Homogeneous catalysts for the hydrolysis of Sodium Borohydride : synthesis, characterization and catalytic use Masjedi, Mehdi; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2010) Recent study has shown that ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate acts as a homogeneous catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. When two equivalents of trimethylphosphite per ruthenium is added to the reaction solution containing sodium borohydride and ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate in the mixture of water and tetrahydrofuran, the rate of hydrogen generation is practically stopped (or reduced to the level of self hydrolysis). However, the catalytic hydrogen evolution of sodium borohydride restarts at an ...
Surface modification of Ti6Al4V by micro-arc oxidation in AgC2H3O2-containing electrolyte Aydogan, Dilek Teker; Muhaffel, Faiz; Acar, Ozge Karabiyik; Topcuoglu, Emine Nursen; Kulekci, Hatice Guven; Kose, Gamze Torun; Baydoğan, Murat; Çimenoğlu, Hüseyin (2018-09-01) This study focuses on the biological properties of Ti6Al4V after employing micro-arc oxidation in sodium phosphateand calcium acetate-containing electrolyte with and without addition of silver acetate. After micro-arc oxidation process, structural features of the surfaces were analyzed by using an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer equipped scanning electron microscope, an X-ray diffractometer and a Fourier transform infrared spectroscope. The micro-arc oxidation process generated multilayer coatings comp...
Coating of iron oxide pellets for direct reduction Basdag, A; Arol, Ali İhsan (2002-06-01) Depending upon their chemical composition and, to a lesser extent, on their physical properties, iron oxide pellets exhibit varying degrees of sticking tendency during direct reduction at elevated temperatures. For an efficient shaft furnace operation in direct reduction (DR), it is imperative to prevent pellets from sticking to each other and, hence, forming clusters. Coating of pellets with a suitable inorganic material has increasingly been gaining recognition amongst the pellet producers and DR plant op...
QUALITY-CONTROL CHARTS FOR STORAGE OF APRICOTS Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; OZILGEN, M (1994-09-01) Construction of modified Shewhart charts to monitor quality variations of apricots coated with edible sucrose polyesters in storage are described by using data based on changes in weight, soluble solids, pH, ascorbic acid, and Hunter colour scale. These control charts may be used to maintain the inevitable quality loss within acceptable limits, and make it possible to readjust the storage conditions if the acceptable limits should be violated.
