An N-halamine precursor, m-aminophenyl hydantoin (m-APH), which was rendered antimicrobial through exposure to chlorine bleach, was synthesized and was applied on cotton fabric using polycarboxylic acids as crosslinking agents. Particularly, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) with m-APH treated cotton fabric resulted in the highest increased wrinkle recovery angle and chlorine content simultaneously. Durability and rechargeability were measured through an AATCC test method and antimicrobial efficacy of BTCA/m-APH treated cotton fabric against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria showed a 6 log reduction within 1 min of contact time.

Synthesis and characterization of thiophen-3-yl acetic acid 4-pyrrol-1-yl phenyl ester and its conducting polymers
BINGÖL, Bahar; GÜNER, Yusuf; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Informa UK Limited, 2005-08-01)
Thiophen-3-yl acetic acid 4-pyrrol-1-yl phenyl ester (TAPE) monomer was synthesized via reaction of thiophen-3-yl acetyl chloride with 4-pyrrol-1-yl phenol. Homopolymers were achieved by using electrochemical and chemical polymerization techniques. Copolymers of TAPE with bithiophene or pyrrole were synthesized by potentiostatic electrochemical polymerization in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB) solvent-electrolyte couple. The chemical structures were confirmed by both Nuclear Magnet...
Dissolution of colemanite and crystallization of gypsum during boric acid production in a batch reactor
Erdoğdu, Anıl; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
One of the most commonly used boron compounds, boric acid, is produced by dissolving colemanite (2CaO₉3B2O3₉5H2O) in aqueous sulfuric acid whereby gypsum (CaSO4₉2H2O) is formed as a byproduct and must be separated from the main product. This process consists of two steps, dissolution of colemanite and formation of gypsum. The amount of boric acid formed depends on the first step, dissolution of colemanite. In the latter step, gypsum crystals are formed and stay in the reaction mixture to grow up to a size l...
Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Essential Oils Obtained from Oregano (Origanum vulgare ssp hirtum) by Using Different Extraction Methods
KARAKAYA, SİBEL; EL, SEDEF NEHİR; Karagozlu, Nural; Şahin, Serpil (Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2011-06-01)
In this study, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of essential oils obtained from oregano (Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum) were determined by using solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME), supercritical fluid extraction, and conventional hydrodistillation (CH) methods. The inhibitory effects on the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical of essential oils obtained from oregano by using SFME and CH were similar. However, essential oil extracted by CH showed greater (2.69 mu mol/mL...
Catalytic Ozonation of Dye Solutions in a Semi-Batch Reactor
Pirgalıoğlu, Saltuk; Özbelge, Ayşe Tülay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2008)
Treatment of textile wastewaters containing dye materials using the conventional methods based on biological treatment is not possible. In order to overcome this problem, ozonation based on the oxidation of organic pollutants with ozone gas dissolved in aqueous phase have been studied widely. Catalytic ozonation and advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are also used in order to increase the efficiency of sole ozonation In this work, catalytic ozonation processes in the presence of Copper Sulfide (CuS) powder ...
Screening and characterization of catalytic composite membranes for ethyllactate production
Oğuzer, Özge; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
In this research, molybdophosphoric acid (PMo) was blended with polysulfone polymer (PSF) and form a film catalyst by using a common solvent dimethylformamide (DMF). Kinetic and mass transfer parameters were evaluated for catalytic films in ethanol lactic acid esterification reaction as film surface area, film thickness and catalyst loading were varied at 50?C, 1 atm and 1:1 ethyl alcohol to lactic acid mole ratio conditions. Also prepared films were characterized by DSC, TGA, FTIR, X-ray and SEM analysis. ...
