thesis.listelement.badge DETERMINATION OF PHOTOCATALYTIC DEGRADATION PRODUCTS OF DYE MOLECULES FOUNDED IN TEXTILE WASTEWATER(2017-06-02) AL-NASERI, Hiba Alaa Majeed; KAYA, MuratPhotocatalytic process is widely applied to remove hazardous organic compounds, microorganisms founded in water, volatile organic compounds and plastics waste by decomposing and destructing them founded in wastes. In this process, oxidation and reduction reactions occur on the surface of photocatalytic materials with the help of conduction band electrons and holes generated on valence band under ultraviolet (UV) or visible light radiation. Among the wastes mentioned above, textile based waste water is so important due to the highly toxic dye contents. Characterization of the degradation products of dye molecules obtained at the end of the process is so important in order to reveal the properties of them. Also characterization of the intermediates is so important to find the degradation pathways. Degradation products and intermediates can be followed by two different ways. In the first one the color of the solution is followed with UV-vis spectrometry. In the second way the final products can be founded with gas or liquid chromatography coupled with different types of detectors like flame ionization (FID), thermal conductivity (TCD) and mass (MS). This study is related to find the photocatalytic degradation products of dye molecules founded in textile wastewaters. For this, photocatalytic degradation products of methylene blue (MB) were investigated which are produced in the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles and palladium nanoparticles added PEDOT (PdNPs/PEDOT) under UV irradiation by using UV spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The obtained results showed that the initial structure of MB was decomposed under UV light exposure in both the photocatalytic reactions in which TiO2 nanoparticles and palladium nanoparticles loaded PEDOT (PdNPs/PEDOT) were used. TiO2 nanoparticles are widely used in photocatalytic dye decomposition reactions and degradation products and pathway are given in literature. The results obtained in this study for the photocatalytic degradation of MB with TiO2 nanoparticles under UV light exposure are in consistent with the literature. In the case of PdNPs/PEDOT, new catalyst, the main degradation products are similar to those obtained with TiO2 nanoparticles. So, it can be concluded that photocatalytic degradation of MB by using PdNPs/PEDOT followed the same degradation pathway as TiO2 nanoparticles under UV light exposure. Besides this work provides a good insight into the decomposition products and pathway for the PdNPs/PEDOT assisted photocatalytic degradation of MB molecules under UV light irradiation.thesis.listelement.badge INVESTIGATION OF THE ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES ADDED POLY (N- METHYL ANILINE)(2022-02-16) ALDARAJI, MOSTAFA KAMIL MAALA; İŞGÖR, Sultan Belgin; KAYA, MuratHumans, animals, and crops may suffer from many diseases that are caused by certain types of bacteria. These bacteria need to be deeply researched to identify the optimal means through which these can be faced. Among these types of bacteria are (Escherichia coli) and (Staphylococcus aureus). Silver is one of the most important mineral elements used in the treatment of the spread of these bacteria, as it has some chemical and physical properties that can eliminate bacteria. One of these properties whose activity has been examined is Nanotechnology. Which are particles ranging in size from 1 to 100 nanometers. It has been found that these particles can penetrate the outer membranes and enter the cell. By using so, it works to stop the production of protein and starts to kill the living cell due to the high toxicity found with silver nanoparticles. In addition, poly (n-methyl aniline) was added to the silver nanoparticles. PNMA was prepared with 0.025 M monomer solution. The size of the resulting PNMA spheres lies between 200-550 nm. The oxidative chemical polymerization and liquid impregnation methods were used to successfully prepare poly (N-methyl aniline) silver nanoparticles (PNMA-AgNPs). SEM, TEM, EDX, and ICP-OES were used to characterize the resulting particles. It has been studied the antibacterial effect of these compounds; PNMA and Ag-PNMA against the Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and compare the effect of these compounds with penicillin/streptomycin common antibiotic.thesis.listelement.badge INVESTIGATION OF THE PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF PALLADIUM NANOPARTICLES ADDED PEDOT(2017-01-07) AHMED, Matira Miud Alaribi; KAYA, MuratInvestigation and development of efficient and low-cost method for wastewater treatment to effectively eliminate the pollutants is so important for environmental remediation. Among the wastewater treatment methods, advanced oxidation processes (AOP’s) consists of the usage of homogenous and heterogeneous photocatalysts, known as the most effective way. The development of photocatalytic materials used in AOP’s is so important. The advancement of photocatalysts which sensitive to solar light would allow more effective utilization of solar light brings sustainable ways to various environmental problems. Recently conductive polymers noted as a new types of effective photocatalytic materials under solar light. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) considered as one of the most important candidate among the conjugated polymers. In this thesis, photocatalytic activity of the palladium added PEDOT (PdNPs/PEDOT) polymer was investigated. In this study, a facile production procedure was demonstrated to fabricate the PdNPs/PEDOT as a photocatalyst. The phtocatalytic activity of PdNPs/PEDOT nanocomposite material was checked into the decolorization of MB under UV and solar light exposure. The photocatalytic behavior of bare PEDOT, TiO2 nanoparticles and PdNPs/TiO2 nanostructure were also investigated in order to make comparison with PdNPs/PEDOT nanostructure. The characterization of nanocomposite catalysts were done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) coupled with SEM and Raman Spectroscopy.thesis.listelement.badge PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PALLADIUM NANOPARTICLES LOADED POLYANILINE WITH MAGNETIC PROPERTY AS A CATALYST FOR HYDROGEN GENERATION(2022-01-24) ALSADA, Ahmed Saleh Abdullah; KAYA, Murat; AKPINAR, YelizCatalysis is a crucial area today because of its importance, as 90% of chemical processes contain catalysis in at least one step in their interactions, as it addresses many environmental issues as well as issues related to sustainability. Metal nanoparticles have attracted the attention of many researchers because of their effectiveness as a catalyst because they represent a new type of catalyst through the properties it possesses. The metal nanoparticles are supported by materials such as silica and alumina to gain more good properties. Support materials such as polymeric materials have recently emerged as essential support materials in the catalyst field for their stability and ease of production. The search for clean and sustainable energy sources is still underway. Hydrogen is emerging as a source of clean energy and a possible alternative to fossil fuels soon, and many substances containing hydrogen have appeared in various proportions such as water, biomass, hydrocarbons, and chemical hydrides. Among these substances, ammonia borane is considered one of the most important of these substances that contain a high percentage of hydrogen (19.6 wt%) with high stability and low toxicity. In this thesis, palladium nanoparticles loaded polyaniline composite material (MNP PANI-PdNPs) with a magnetic property was prepared. For this initially, magnetic nanoparticles added PANI was prepared with oxidative polymerization. After that palladium nanoparticles were loaded to the composite material by using a wet impregnation method followed with sodium borohydride reduction. The catalytic activity of the resulting particles was tested in the dehydrogenation of Ammonia borane under ambient temperature. Also, components and resulting material were characterized by using SEM, TEM, EDX, FTIR, and ICP-OES. After optimization studies, the highest TOF value was calculated as 220 min-1 for the 20 mg 1.2 % Pd (w/w) loaded catalyst. Because of the magnetic property of the catalyst, it is quickly separated from the reaction mixture using an external magnet without the need to use other methods such as filtration or centrifugation. The catalyst was reused for five consecutive reactions, the results showing that 95% of the initial activity was retained with a full hydrogen release at the end of the fifth catalyst operation.thesis.listelement.badge PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PALLADIUM NANOPARTICLES ADDED POLYTHIOPHENE FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FROM AMMONIA BORANE(2017-06-02) ALJARAI, Sumaia Ahmed Muftah; KAYA, MuratNowadays, nanostructured catalysts gain great attention due to their high catalytic activities in various types of reactions. For this reason more efforts have been devoted to develop more efficient ways to produce catalysts with desired sizes. To prepare an effective nanocatalyst, one of the main parameter is to prepare proper support materials. It keeps the activity constant by preventing nanoparticles from agglomeration and increases the reuse performance by giving easy isolation properties. Among the support materials, polymers can be considered as good candidates due to their cheap and easy preparation ways and stabilites. Hydrogen energy is considered as one of the most promising green energy resources. Therefore, the design and production of proper catalysts, which can be used in the production of hydrogen from the storage materials is so important. Among the solid hydrogen storage materials like metal hydrides, chemical hydrides, organic molecules, metal organic frameworks and carbon nanotubes, ammonia borane (AB) considered as one of the most effective hydrogen storage material. The hydrogen content of AB is 19.6 wt % and it is nontoxic and stable under air and water. With the usage of suitable and effective catalyst, it is possible to take all hydrogen from AB at moderate conditions. For this reason, production of highly efficient catalysts to enhance the catalytic parameters in the production of hydrogen from AB is of great importance for the development of hydrogen energy and its extensive usage. In this thesis, to produce catalyst for hydrogen generation from aqueous AB under mild condition a novel support material, polythiophene, was used to immobilize the palladium nanoparticles by using a wet impregnation method. The prepared catalyst shows good catalytic activity at 25 °C. An initial turnover frequency (TOF) value is calculated as 28.9 min-1 . Furthermore, PdNPs, which are loaded on polythiophene support, show high stability and reuse property.thesis.listelement.badge PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PALLADIUM-COPPER BIMETALLIC NANOPARTICLES SUPPORTED ON SILICA COATED COBALT FERRITE MAGNETIC PARTICLES FOR HYDROLYTIC DEHYDROGENATION OF AMMONIA BORANE(2015-06-25) AL-AQBI, Talaat Hikmat Hashim; KAYA, Murat; CİHANER, AtillaMetal nanoparticles have attracted much attention over the last decade due to their desired applications in catalytic systems and the usage of these particles in such systems are considered to be a promising way for bridging homogenous and heterogenous catalysis, that is to say for “quasihomogeneous” (or soluble heterogeneous) systems. Naked nanoparticles are due to high surface energy not stable and prone to coagulate while catalytic transformation is taking place. On the other hand, filtration techniques are not efficient to separate nanoparticles that have diameters of less than 100 nm. Under such circumstances, expensive ultracentrifugation is preferred to separate the product and catalyst. In order to get rid of the disadvantages of naked nanoparticles and to enhance the stability and to obtain reusable catalysts, immobilization of nanoparticles onto inorganic supports provide the desired properties for catalytic efficiency. Due to high hydrogen storage capacity (19.6 % wt) and low molecular weight, the innovations in the development of nanocomposite catalysts for the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia-borane (NH3BH3) is essential to use these catalysts as solid hydrogen carrier. In this thesis, new and reproducible catalyst system consists of palladium-copper bimetallic nanoparticles supported on silica coated magnetic particles has been prepared by wet-impregnation method. After addition of Pd2+ and Cu2+ ions on silica coated cobalt ferrite nanoparticles, nanoparticles formed by in situ reduction of the Pd2+ and Cu2+ ions with NH3BH3 on the surface of silica coated magnetic nanoparticles. The characterization of nanocomposite catalysts were done by inductively coupled plasma/optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution- transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and N2 adsorption–desorption technique. Palladium-Copper bimetallic nanoparticles supported on silica coated cobalt ferrite (PdCuNPs/SiO2-CoFe2O4) provide an initial turnover frequency (TOF) of 238 min-1 at room temperature that shows higher catalytic activity than both non-noble metal catalysts and noble metal based homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts that is used in the reaction of hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia-borane. One of the most important opportunity of such catalyst system is that, catalysts can be collected with a magnet in the reactor wall and they are reusable for up to 5 recycles with the sustainable catalytic activity that exhibited excellent reusability of the catalyst.thesis.listelement.badge PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES ADDED POLY(N-METHYLANILINE) SPHERES(2022-01-24) ALBAYATI, Marwah; KAYA, Murat; Akpınar, YelizDue to the easy preparation, low cost besides combining the electrical properties of a semiconductor and metals, conducting polymers (CPs) nowadays attracts great attention to academia and industry. In this thesis, a multi-component visible-light driven photocatalyst having the structure; poly(N-methyl aniline) silver nanoparticles (PNMA-AgNPs) was successfully prepared by using oxidative chemical polymerization and liquid impregnation methods, respectively. Characterization of resulting particles was performed by using SEM, TEM, EDX, XPS, FTIR, and ICP-OES. According to that characterization, PNMA nanospheres with a size of around 300 nm were prepared and 3 nm silver nanoparticles were successfully added onto them. After that, the potential of PNMA-AgNPs composite material in the degradation of dye molecules under solar light was investigated. The silver nanoparticles added PNMA (PNMA-AgNPs) photocatalyst shows enhanced photocatalytic activity for Methylene Blue (MB) degradation (98.5%) achieved after only 30 min exposure of solar light time compared to PANI (32 %), and single PNMA (44 %) even after extended light irradiation times 90 min. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of PNMA-AgNPs photocatalyst is ascribed to Surface Plasmon effect of silver nanoparticles which increases the charge separation efficiency by improvement in absorption property of the resulting structure which allows the decrease in the probability of charge recombination among produced electrons and holes during the photocatalytic process. The experimental results confirmed that PNMA-AgNPs composites have the potential application as photocatalyst for the degradation of dye molecules under solar light illumination.thesis.listelement.badge PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SILVER-PESeE FILM DEPOSITED ON ITO GLASS SURFACE AS A SURFACE ENHANCED RAMAN SCATTERING SUBSTRATE(2015-06-25) ALSHUWAİLİ, Kadhim Taresh Raisan; KAYA, Murat; CİHANER, AtillaSurface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is known as a very attractive technique for the characterization and detection of a variety of chemical and biological molecules due to their impressive characteristics such as giving spectral fingerprint of vibrations, high sensitivity and insensitivity to water. One of the most important points of the SERS technique is the requirement for producing a substrate having an ideal surface morphology to facilitate the achievement of the most favorable enhancement. Here a novel, simple, reliable, and reproducible one-step electrochemical method for the preparation of surface enhanced Raman-active polymer-mediated silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on planar indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates was reported. Poly (4,7-di-2,3-dihydrothieno [3,4-b] [1,4] dioxin-5-yl-2,1,3 benzoselena diazole) (PESeE) film was used as a support material for dispersing silver nanostructures on the surface homogeneously. The morphologies of the prepared substrates have been investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The effect of the thickness of PESeE polymer film and the amount of silver particles on the polymer film on the SERS response were studied as well as repeatability and stability of prepared substrates. Brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) has been used as Raman probes to evaluate the properties of the new SERS substrates.thesis.listelement.badge PREPARATION AND INVESTIGATION OF PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLE ADDED MAGNETIC-PEDOT NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIAL(2022-02-24) BELHAJ, Fatma Saad Mohamed; KAYA, MuratRemoval of toxic organic materials discarded with textile waste waters to surrounding area is of great importance for environmental remediation. Among these methods, advanced oxidation process (AOP), which enables the degradation of organic pollutants by oxidation, has attracted great interest in recent years. In this method, it is aimed to remove organic pollutants by means of light and catalyst. Semiconductor TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles are usually used as catalysts in such processes. However, the difficulties in separating nanoscale particles at the end of the process make it necessary to develop new approaches. For this reason, the production of materials which are more efficient and easy to produce and allow the catalyst to be used again is of great importance. In this direction conductive polymers are very interesting materials because of their easy production and high photocatalytic activity potential. It is also seen as a suitable material for magnetic separation, which can be an alternative to expensive, laborious, and difficult to apply large volumes of pollutants such as filtration and centrifugation. The aim of this work is to produce more active photocatalysts than semi-conductor base catalysts under UV light with magnetic properties. In this direction, PEDOT based nanocomposite material (SiO2-CoFe2O4/PEDOT-AgNPs) is prepared as a conductive polymer containing magnetic cobalt ferrite (SiO2-CoFe2O4) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The activity of the obtained nanocomposite material was investigated in the removal of methylene blue known as a model dye contaminant under UV irradiation. In addition, the catalytic activities of the TiO2 nanoparticle, PEDOT and SiO2-CoFe2O4/PEDOT structures were also investigated to demonstrate the increase in catalytic activity systematically. Detailed characterizations of the prepared particles were performed with high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). With the results obtained, it has been proved that the new material prepared is more efficient than the semiconductor based catalysts. The added magnetic property allows the catalyst to be separated from the medium without the need for complex separation methods.thesis.listelement.badge PREPARATION OF COPPER NANOPARTICLES ADDED POLYTHIOPHENE FOR DEHYDROGENATION OF AMMONIA BORANE(2017-06-02) ALABLAQ, Salha M.; KAYA, MuratNanocatalyst is the material with an increased catalytic activity due to their high surface-to-volume ratio. In the case of homogeneous nanocatalysis like colloidal metal nanoparticle suspensions, they are found in the same phase with precursors used for reaction and products. The main advantage of this type of catalyst can be considered as highly selective systems compared with heterogeneous ones. But low thermal stability, serious metal contamination and difficulty recovery of the catalyst are the main disadvantages of homogeneous catalyst. In order to overcome these problems, heterogeneous type nanocatalysts are widely used in reactions. In this type of catalyst, metal nanoparticles are immobilized onto support materials like silica, alumina, and carbon based materials. Nowadays, some polymer support gained great interest due to their facile and cheap methods to produce them. Hydrogen energy is considered as one of the most important clean source. For this reason a lot of studies are performed to produce hydrogen storage materials like metal hydrides, chemical hydrides, organic molecules, metal organic frameworks and carbon nanotubes. Between these storage materials chemical hydrides has attracted great attention due to their high hydrogen storage capacity. Among the chemical hydrides, ammonia borane (AB) gained great importance because of high hydrogen content (19.6 wt %), low toxicity and high stability. With the usage of appropriate catalyst it is possible to get three moles of hydrogen per mole of AB under mild conditions. For this reason, it is so important to produce a catalyst with high-efficiency and improved kinetic parameters in the hydrolysis of AB under mild conditions for hydrogen energy applications. In this thesis, a facile way for preparing copper nanoparticle (CuNPs) supported on polythiophene as catalyst for hydrogen production from aqueous AB was presented. For this, initially polythiophene polymer support material was prepared. After that Cu (II) ions were added onto polymer support by utilizing wet impregnation method. Then copper ions were reduced by using sodium borohydride and copper nanoparticles were obtained. The catalytic activity of prepared nanocatalyst was revealed. An initial turnover frequency (TOF) value is founded as 11.8 min-1 . The stability and reuse capacity of the prepared catalyst were also investigated. The prepared catalyst shows good stability and reuse capacity. CuNPs added onto polythiophene shows nearly same activity after 5th reuse in the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB.thesis.listelement.badge PREPARATION OF NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC WATER TREATMENT(2022-02-28) SALIHI, Nawar Razzaq Kadhim; KAYA, MuratOne of the crucial concerns is water resources and its related troubles have gained importance due to continuous pollution of ecological water systems. Nowadays, researchers are interested in the improved techniques that can provide the degradation of organic pollutants by oxidation. Consequently, semiconductor photocatalysis technology has prompted scientists to provide environmental remediation. Recently, within the semiconductor photocatalysts, especially ZnO has gained attention because of usage in the removal of industry based wastes in air and water. This photocatalyst can be used as treatment method because of proper qualities such as being low-cost, environmentally friendly, and sustainability. Besides ZnO, there are a number of semiconductors that can be utilized for water pollution treatment; however, effective separation, recycling and dispersion are still important challenge for these tiny powdered photocatalyst. Magnetic property provides magnetic separation effectively and simply for removal of suspended catalyst particles from waste water without using any further separation techniques. The magnetic property also provides the suspension of photocatalyst that allows great surface area for catalytic reactions. In this study, to obtain photocatalyst with high activity and well-separation quality, a facile procedure to fabricate magnetic cobalt ferrite (SiO2-CoFe2O4)and zinc oxide (ZnO) added PEDOT (SiO2-CoFe2O4/PEDOT/ZnO) a novel magnetically recyclable nanocomposite material as a photocatalyst was demonstrated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution- transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and energy dispersive X Ray (EDX) were utilized for the characterization of nanocomposite photocatalysts. The photocatalytic activity of SiO2-CoFe2O4/PEDOT/ZnO nanocomposite material was tested into the decolorisation of methylene blue (MB) under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of ZnO, PEDOT and ZnO/PEDOT was also shown to check the improvement compared to the final structure. Consequently, the usage of PEDOT and the interaction of ZnO with this polymer synergetically improve the photocatalytic activity. In addition to high activity of the photocatalyst, the synthesized SiO2-CoFe2O4/PEDOT/ZnO nanocomposite material has magnetic property as an advantage. PEDOT provides not only the improved activity of photocatalysis but also supplementation of magnetic nanoparticles that brings magnetic quality to the ultimate structure.thesis.listelement.badge THE PREPARATION AND ANTIBACTERIAL ANALYSIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES ADDED PEDOT(2022-02-16) Khaleel, Haneen Ayad; İŞGÖR, Sultan Belgin; KAYA, MuratWith a high hospital-acquired infection (HAIs) prevalence, the use of antibacterial coatings can help to reduce bacterial contamination at the hospital surfaces that are frequently interacted (e.g. keyboards, push plates, or bed rails) and commonly underlying the hospital-acquired infection. Nanoparticles and polymers combination shows strong antibacterial action against a number of gram-negative and Gram positive bacteria. In this study, nanoparticles are incorporated with polymer as antibacterial surfaces to prevent HAIs. The aim of this study is to make a coating material to prevent infections by preparing PEDOT embedded with silver nanoparticles and testing the substance against common pathogens found in hospitals, such as Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus Aureus. (PEDOT) wassynthesized in the presence of EDOT and iron (III) chloride (FeCl3), via a chemical polymerization process. By the liquid impregnation technique, silver nanoparticles were bonded to PEDOT then the substance was pressed to make pellets. While the antibacterial activity was tested by using disk diffusion methods, the materials prepared in this study show potential for HAIs reduction in hospitals. Due to the significant properties of the silver nanoparticles and PEDOT, the inhibition of bacterial growth can be done without any harmful effect on the human body. Further research should be conducted to improve the substance’s antibacterial efficacy for a wide range of medical use.Item TÜRK KAMU YÖNETİMİNDE GÖNÜLLÜLÜK VE AFET YÖNETİMİ(2013-05-21) KAYA, Murat; ŞAHİN, Savaş ZaferGönüllülük ve Afet Yönetimi konusunda yapılan çalışma ile gönüllülük kavramı, STK’lar incelenmiş ve Türkiye’deki süreç tahlil edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
