    Chemical synthesis of single-layer graphene by using ball milling compared with NaBH4 and hydroquinone reductants
    (INST ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY-IET, 2018) Niftaliyeva, Aysel; Pehlivan, Erol; Polat, Safa; Avci, Ahmet
    Graphene materials especially single-layer graphene have been identified as a new generation of nanomaterials having various potential applications in material industries. However, the synthesis procedure of single-layer graphene to improve its quality, size and amount has been still under research for commercial applications. The graphene oxide (GO) is synthesised from graphite by Hummer's spontaneous approach which is the most suitable reaction for a large-scale production. For the single-layer graphene, in this work, GO was exfoliated by using a ball milling in an inert atmosphere. Owing to using ball milling as intermediate treatment degreased oxygen functional groups and number of layers, it facilitates to synthesise graphene. Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and hydroquinone were used as a reductant for the chemical conversion of the exfoliated GO to graphene. The results showed that due to the strong reduction feature, both reducing agents can be applied in the graphene production. As a preferred reductant, hydroquinone can be successfully applied for the synthesis of the single-layer graphene compared to NaBH4. The obtained graphene particles by two different chemicals were characterised by various analytical techniques. The big difference in the structure of GO and graphene was observed in transmission electron microscope analysis.

    A kinetic study on methylation of naphthalene over Fe/ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts
    (SPRINGER, 2018) Gulec, Fatih; Ozen, Aysun; Niftaliyeva, Aysel; Aydiin, Ayse; Simsek, Emir Huseyin; Karaduman, Ali
    2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene is an important dimethylnaphthalene isomer which can be used in the production of polyethylene naphthalate. The novelty of this study is to reveal Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Rideal reaction rate equations for the methylation of naphthalene over Fe/ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts besides the proposed reaction rate equation. To investigate the kinetics and mechanisms of naphthalene methylation, the methylation experiments were carried out in a gas-solid catalytic fixed-bed reactor in the presence of Fe/ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts at two different temperatures (450 and 500 degrees C) and five different weight hourly space velocities (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 h(-1)). A naphthalene:methanol:1,2,4-trimethyl benzene mixture having a 1:3:10 molar ratio was used as a feed stream. The methylation products were identified by using GC-MS. For the methylation kinetics of naphthalene, the reaction rates depending on the naphthalene and methanol concentration were determined. Furthermore, the effects of temperature and weight hourly space velocity on the conversion of naphthalene, the selectivity of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, and the ratio of 2-methylnaphthalene/1-methylnaphthalene were determined. The results of this study demonstrate that the Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction mechanism for naphthalene methylation is more compatible at 450 degrees C and the Eley-Rideal reaction mechanism at 500 degrees C. Moreover, in addition to 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, other dimethylnaphthalene and tri-methylnaphthalene isomers were formed in the methylation of naphthalene. The conversion of naphthalene reached approximately 70%. Moreover, the highest selectivity of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene was almost 40%. The ratios of 2-methylnaphthalene/1-methylnaphalene demonstrate that the methylation of naphthalene to 2-methynaphthalene is much higher than to 1-methynaphthalene.

    Selective synthesis of 2,6-triad dimethylnaphthalene isomers by disproportionation of 2-methylnaphthalene over mesoporous MCM-41
    (SPRINGER, 2018) Gulec, Fatih; Niftaliyeva, Aysel; Karaduman, Ali
    2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN) is one of the crucial intermediates for the synthesis of polybutylenenaphthalate and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). The complex synthesis procedure and the high cost of 2,6-DMN production significantly reduce the commercialisation of PEN even though PEN demonstrates superior properties compared with polyethylene terephthalate. 2,6-DMN can be produced by methylation of 2-methylnaphthalene (2-MN) and/or naphthalene, disproportionation of 2-MN, and/or isomerisation of dimethylnaphthalenes (DMNs). In this study, synthesis of 2,6-triad DMN isomers consisting of 2,6-DMN, 1,6-DMN, and 1,5-DMN have been investigated with the disproportionation of 2-MN over unmodified and Zr-modified mesoporous MCM-41 zeolite catalysts. In contrast to other DMN isomers, both 1,5-DMN and 1,6-DMN can be effectively isomerised to be profitable 2,6-DMN. The disproportionation of 2-MN experiments were carried out in a catalytic fixed-bed reactor in the presence of 1g of catalyst at a temperature range of 350-500 degrees C and weight hourly space velocity between 1 to 3h(-1). The results demonstrated that mesoporous MCM-41 zeolite catalyst has a selective pore shape for 2,6-triad DMN isomers, which may allow a decrease in the production cost of 2,6-DMN. Additionally, 2,6-DMN was successfully synthesised by the disproportionation of 2-MN over MCM-41 zeolite catalyst. Furthermore, both the conversion of 2-MN and the selectivity of 2,6-DMN were considerably enhanced by the Zr impregnation on MCM-41.
