    Alkaline activation synthesis by graphite/calcite mortar and the effect of experimental conditions on compressive strength
    (Springer, 20.07.2023) Kütük, Nurşah; Çetinkaya Gürer, Sevil
    The construction industry is an application area that has continuity all over the world and requires cheap, durable, and environmentally friendly materials. Synthesis with alkali activation includes materials that have come to the fore in the construction industry in recent years. In this study using alkali activation method, a graphite/calcite mortar was prepared by optimizing the experimental conditions and its properties were investigated. The effects of Na2SiO3/NaOH mass ratio, NaOH solution concentration, and graphite content variables on structure and compressive strength in alkaline activation synthesis were investigated. It was determined that the samples reached a compressive strength of 21 MPa at the end of 28 days when the Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio was 2 and the NaOH concentration was 10 M. In the continuation of the optimized experimental conditions, the effect of the amount of graphite on the compressive strength was examined between 5 and 100% (w/w). Structural properties of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and their morphological properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. It was determined that C–S–H gel was formed and samples with heterogeneous morphology were synthesized.

    Reduction of Graphene Oxide using purple cabbage extract and investigation of photocatalytic activity by oxidation
    (Gazi Üniversitesi, 06.01.2023) Kütük, Nurşah; Boran, Filiz; Çetinkaya Gürer, Sevil
    Graphene and its derivatives are an important material with many unique properties and potential in photocatalytic degradation and adsorption applications. Removal of oxygen-containing functional groups by reduction of graphene oxide (GO) is an interesting method that has been used frequently in recent years. The aim of this study is to examine graphene oxide reduction by using green synthesis and purple cabbage aqueous extraxt, which is an easy and effective method, and its use in photocatalytic removal applications. To optimize the synthesis conditions, the reaction temperature was first studied at 25, 50, and 100, and then the reaction time was studied for 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours. According to XRD, FTIR, UV/vis and SEM results, suitable experimental conditions for GO reduction are obtained at reaction temperature of 100 and reaction time of 6 h. The obtained reduced graphene oxide (IGO) was used in photocatalytic degradation experiments in the aqueous solution of methylene blue (MM), an organic and cationic dye, under UV lamp and in the presence of H2O2. The results showed that after 120 min, IGO removed 85% of MM from the aqueous solution. It was determined that the MM photocatalytic degradation reaction kinetics of IGO matched the pseudo second-order reaction kinetics.
