Micro and Nanotechnology Department, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, , Turkey The development of visible-light effective photocatalysts allows low cost degradation of toxic non-biodegradable organic pollutants. Vanadium, present in a specific oxidation state within the structure of SiO2 matrix could open up the gateway to investigate and tailor the defects created for such photocatalytic applications. Vanadosilicate AM-6, which is a large pore microporous material containing semiconducting monatomic …V-O-V-O-V… chains embedded in a silica matrix has recently been demonstrated to exhibit photocatalytic activity in the visible light range. Pore regularity, control of defects, and the presence of stoichiometric amounts of in AM-6 allows one to create alternative materials in visible-light photocatalysis. Accordingly, vanadosilicate AM-6 thin films with controlled defect sites were produced by tailoring the V5+/V4+ ratio within the thin film structure . Furthermore, the effect of changing molar composition and vanadium source used for the secondary growth was also investigated systematically. V5+/V4+ ratio was tailored systematically by controlling the defect concentration of seed crystals during the film growth and vanadium source with alternating V5+ concentration. It was found that vanadosilicate AM-6 films with higher amount of V5+ ions arising from different synthesis conditions possess better photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation for the degradation of MB, which can be attributed to the presence of V5+ cation within the framework of AM-6. Photocatalyst production in the form of thin film provides integration of the material to device-oriented applications and also accelerates the degradation kinetics between the pollutant and the photocatalyst due to the controlled defect formation leading to enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light.

The effect of boric acid on steroid biosynthesis pathway in HepG2 cell line
Akyıldız, Zeynep Eda; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-2)
Boron is the basic element of borax mineral reserves which a significant amount is found in Turkey. Elemental boron which has wide use in industrial areas recently started to be used in the development of new products in the pharmaceutical industry. However, despite the widespread use in industry and increasing use in health sciences, the molecular mechanism of its effect is still unknown. Previous microarray studies performed in our laboratory and the analysis of the results have shown that boric acid has...
The effects of aquifer heterogeneity on the natural attenuation rates of chlorinated solvents
Önkal, Başak; Ünlü, Kahraman; Department of Environmental Engineering (2005)
Monitored natural attenuation has been particularly used at sites where petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents have contaminated soil and groundwater. One of the important aspects of the methodology that has been recognized recently is that the mass removal rates, the most important parameter to determine effectiveness of the methodology, is controlled by the groundwater flow regime and the aquifer heterogeneity. Considering this recognition, the primary objective of this study is to quantitatively...
The role of nanoparticle geometry in flame retardancy of polylactide nanocomposites containing aluminium phosphinate
Isitman, Nihat Ali; Doğan, Mehmet Onur; BAYRAMLI, ERDAL; Kaynak, Cevdet (2012-08-01)
Although there is considerable research effort in the development of halogen-free flame-retardant polylactide (PLA), a bio-based aliphatic polyester, the potential synergistic interactions of nanoparticles and conventional additives have scarcely been considered. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of nanofiller geometry on fire retardancy of PLA nanocomposites containing aluminium diethylphosphinate (AlPi) flame retardant. For this purpose, a variety of nanofiller geometries were utili...
Investigating the effect of solids retention time on pesticides removal in an activated sludge process
Kocaman, Kumru; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (2022-10-01)
© 2022 Elsevier B.V.The levels of pesticides reaching the biological wastewater treatment plants have been increasing. Operational conditions leading to the most efficient removal of pesticides in these plants should be evaluated first before attempting tertiary-level treatment options. This study investigated the influence of solids retention times (SRTs) on the removal of three pesticides (carbendazim, imidacloprid, and aclonifen) in the activated sludge process. Laboratory-scale reactors receiving these ...
The effects of pectin and wax on the characteristics of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions
Elik, Aysel; Koçak Yanik, Derya; Özel, Barış; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Fahrettin, G.ö.ğ.ü.ş. (2021-01-01)
© 2021 Institute of Food Technologists®Abstract: The study was aimed to investigate characteristics of emulsion containing pectin, wax, maltodextrin, and carotenoid enriched flaxseed oil by means of stability, rheology, particle size, and low-resolution of time domain nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry measurements. Emulsions were prepared with different carotenoid enriched-flaxseed oil concentrations (6%, 9%, 12%, and 15% w/w) and ratios of maltodextrin/(pectin+wax) (3:1, 6:1, 9:1, and 12:1 g/g)....
