(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015) Oral, Elif Varhan; Ozdemir, Sadin; Dolak, Ibrahim; Okumus, Veysi; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Ziyadanogullari, Berrin; Aksoy, Zehra; Onat, Ruken
A new method for the determination of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) after preconcentrating on a column containing Anoxybacillus sp. SO B1-immobilized Amberlite XAD-16 was developed. The functional groups of Anoxybacillus sp. SO B1 immobilized on Amberlite XAD-16 were characterized in KBr tablets by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry. Various parameters such as pH, amount of the adsorbent, eluent type and volume, and flow rate of the sample solution were studied. The optimum pH values of quantitative sorption for Cu(II) and Pb(II) were found to be pH 7.0 and 5.0 and Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions could be quantitatively eluted with 5.0ml of 1.0mol L-1 HCI and 10.0ml of 0.25mol L-1 HNO3, respectively. Recoveries of Cu(II) and Pb(II) were found to be 100.9 +/- 1.57% and 100.3 +/- 0.49% (N = 5), the limits of detection of Cu(II) and Pb(II) in the determination by FAAS (3s, N = 10) were found to be 0.8 and 1.6 mu g L-1, respectively. The proposed enrichment method was applied for metal ion determination from water samples such as two parts of Tigris River water in Diyarbakir and Elazig, Lake of Hazar in Elazig, and tap water in Diyarbakir. Furthermore, the accuracy of the proposed method was verified by studying the analytical recovery and by analyzing certified reference material (NCS-DC 73350 leaves of poplar).

(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2013) Dundar, Abdurrahman; Okumus, Veysi; Ozdemir, Sadin; Yildiz, Abdunnasir
The ethanolic extracts of dried cultured mycelia of Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus florida, and Pleurotus sajor-caju were analyzed for antioxidant activity in different systems. Tests used are as follows: reducing power, free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, total antioxidant activity, metal chelating activitiy, etc.; total phenolic content was determined. The percentage inhibition of P. ostreatus, P. eryngii, P. florida, and P. sajor-caju at 20 mg/mL concentration on peroxidation in a -carotenelinoleic acid system was 57.19, 60.68, 62.12, and 58.81%, respectively. The reducing power of P. eryngii was higher than the other samples, and its value was 0.86 at 10 mg/mL concentration. P. ostreatus and P. sajor-caju proved to be better at scavenging superoxide anion radicals than the P. eryngii and P. florida. In the scavenging effect of DPPH radical test, P. ostreatus showed the highest activity potential and P. sajor-caju showed the strongest metal chelating capacity.
Association with Leptin Gene c.-2548 G > A Polymorphism, Serum Leptin Levels, and Body Mass Index in Turkish Obese Patients
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2013) Demir, Cemil; Tümer, Cemil; Demir, Cemil; Çelik, M. Murat; Çelik, Mustafa; Uçar, Edip; Güneşaçar, Ramazan
Leptin is a protein hormone which plays a critical role in the regulation of both body-weight through reducing food intake and stimulating energy expenditure. Several polymorphisms in leptin gene (LEP), which encodes for leptin, have been described. However, its association with obesity is still controversial. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to investigate whether LEP c.-2548 G > A polymorphism was associated with serum leptin levels, lipid parameters, and body mass index in Turkish obese patients. Forty-seven obese patients and 48 healthy individuals were included in the study. Blood samples were collected for DNA extraction. LEP c.-2548 G > A polymorphism were detected using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Serum leptin levels and lipid parameters were measured by ELISA and enzyme colorimetric assay techniques, respectively. GA or AA genotypes and A allele carrier frequencies of the c.-2548 G > A polymorphism in the LEP were higher in obese (38.3, 34.0 and 72.3 %) when compared with controls (14.6, 12.5, and 27.1 %; p = 0.011, 0.016, and 0.002, respectively). On the other hand, AA or AG genotypes were also related to increased serum leptin levels (p < 0.001) and body mass index (p < 0.0001). All these consequences showed that LEP -2548 AA or AG genotypes are important predictors for increased levels of leptin and BMI in Turkish obese patients and it may be a useful marker for obesity risk in our population.

(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015) Keskin, Cumali; Tilkat, Engin; Onay, A.; Keskin, Cumali; Başhan, Mehmet; Kilinc, F. M.; Kizmaz, V.; Suzerer, V.
This paper reports the fatty acid composition of the oil extracts from seeds and in vivo and in vitro grown organs of Pistacia lentiscus L. were determined by using gas chromatography. The main fatty acids were linoleic (LA), palmitic (PALM), oleic (OLA) and linolenic (ALA) acids in the fruits, resins and in both in vivo and in vitro grown root, leaf and stem sections of male or female tree. The major fatty acids were represented by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) accounting for 56.94 %, 64.44 % and 55.57 % in root, leaf and stem part of male tree grown in vivo, respectively. The prominent class of fatty acid composition of different male organs of P. lentiscus L. regenerated in vitro was represented by PUFA accounting for 63.24 %. The monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), OLA and PUFA, LA were determined in the oils of the two genotypes studied.
Determination of trace Bi by ICP-OES after magnetic solid phase extraction with fullerene C-60 modified gamma-Fe2O3 superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2015) Kılınç, Ersin
In this research, a procedure for the preconcentration of Bi at trace levels in milk samples prior to inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) is proposed. It is based on the batch magnetic solid phase extraction of Bi ions by fullerene C-60 modified maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3 superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles - SPION) nanoparticles. The various factors that influence the preconcentration of Bi such as pH, the amount of magnetic nanoparticles, initial Bi concentration, sample volume and the effects of possible interfering ions were investigated. A linear analytical curve was achieved in the concentration range of 0.25-10 ng mL(-1) with a limit of detection of 0.06 ng mL(-1). The precision expressed as a RSD was 7.5% for a concentration of 0.25 ng mL(-1). The method was validated by the analysis of a standard reference material (NIST SRM 1643e). In addition, 96.6-98.7% recoveries were achieved for the spiked samples. Bi concentrations in ten milk samples were successfully determined after the developed method was applied. Bi content in the milk samples ranged from 6.5 to 14.3 ng mL(-1).
gamma-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticle functionalized with carboxylated multi walled carbon nanotube: Synthesis, characterization, analytical and biomedical application
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016) Kilinc, Ersin
In recent years, magnetic nanoparticles attained special interest in nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine due to their uniqe properties and biocompatibilities. From this perspective, hybride nanostructure composed from gamma-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticle and carboxylated multi walled carbon nanotube was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, VSM, SEM, HR-TEM and ICP-OES. Microscopy images showed that magnetic nanoparticles were nearly spherical structure that arranged on the axis of carboxylated MWCNT. Particle size was found lower than 10 nm. VSM results showed that the obtained magnetic nanoparticles presented superparamagnetic properties at room temperature. The magnetic saturation value was determined as 35.2 emu/g. It was used for the adsorption and controlled release of harmane, a potent tremor-producing neurotoxin. Maximum adsorption capacity was calculated as 151.5 mg/g from Langmuir isotherm. Concentration of harmane was determined by HPLC with fluorescence detection. The antimicrobial activity of synthesized magnetic nanoparticle was investigated against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. However, no activity was observed. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013) Kilinc, Ersin; Bakirdere, Sezgin; Aydin, Firat; Ataman, O. Yavuz
Analytical performances of metal coated slotted quartz tube flame atomic absorption spectrometry (SQT-FAAS) and slotted quartz tube in situ atom trapping flame atomic absorption spectrometry (SQT-AT-FAAS) systems were evaluated for determination of Bi. Non-volatile elements such as Mo, Zr, W and Ta were tried as coating materials. It was observed that W-coated SQT gave the best sensitivity for the determination of Bi for SQT-FAAS and SQT-AT-FMS. The parameters for W-coated SQT-FAAS and W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS were optimized. Sensitivity of FAAS for Bi was improved as 4.0 fold by W-coated SQT-FAAS while 613 fold enhancement in sensitivity was achieved by W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS using 5.0 min trapping with respect to conventional FAAS. MIBK was selected as organic solvent for the re-atomization of Bi from the trapping surface. Limit of detection values for W-coated SQT-FAAS and W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS was obtained as 0.14 mu g mL(-1) and 0.51 ng mL(-1), respectively. Linear calibration plot was obtained in the range of 2.5-25.0 ng mL(-1) for W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS. Accuracy of the W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS system was checked by analyzing a standard reference material, NIST 1643e. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci from Horses, Personnel and Environmental Sites at an Equine Hospital in Turkey
(JAPAN SOC VET SCI, 2012) Demir, Cemil; Turkyilmaz, Suheyla; Yilmaz, Mehmet Ali; Erdem, Zeynep; Demir, Cemil
The present study was carried out to assess the frequency of methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) among racehorses (n=209) and veterinary personnel (n=13) as well as environmental surfaces (n=14) at an equine hospital in Adana, Turkey. In addition, species distribution, antimicrobial susceptibility, resistance genes, staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) type and clonality of these isolates were also investigated. MRS were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing, and typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). As a result, MRS was isolated in horses (48.3%), clinic staff (92.3%) and environmental samples (71.4%). Of the 123 MRS isolates, 118 isolates were identified as Staphylococcus lentus, and the remaining ones were found to be S. sciuri (n=3), S. intermedius (n=1) and S. fleuretti (n=1). All isolates were found to be susceptible against vancomycin, quinupristin-dalfopristin and rifampicin. Additionally, single or various combinations of resistance genes were detected among MRS isolates. SCCmec type II was identified in all isolates. Similar PFGE patterns were observed among MRS isolated from horses, humans, and environmental samples. Since MRS were concurrently isolated from horses and humans it is suggested that cross-transmission of MRS between horses and humans might occur. However, it cannot be ruled out that transmission is human to animal or animal to human.

(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015) Okumus, Veysi; Ozdemir, Sadin; Kilinc, Ersin; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Yuksel, Uyan; Baysal, Zubeyde
Solid-phase extraction (SPE) method was developed for the preconcentration of Cu2+ and Ni2+ before their determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Bacillus subtilis-immobilized Amberlite XAD-16 was used as biosorbent. Effects of critical parameters such as pH, flow rate of samples, amount of Amberlite XAD-16 and biosorbent, sample volume, eluent type, and volume and concentration of eluent on column preconcentration of Cu2+ and Ni2+ were optimized. Applicability of the method was validated through the analysis of the certified reference tea sample (NCS ZC73014). Sensitivity of ICP-OES was improved by 36.4-fold for Cu2+ and 38.0-fold for Ni2+ by SPE-ICP-OES method. Limit of quantitation (LOQ) was found to be 0.7 and 1.1ng/ml for Cu2+ and Ni2+, respectively. Concentrations of Cu2+ and Ni2+ were determined by ICP-OES after application of developed method. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) were lower than 4.9% for Cu2+ and 7.9% for Ni2+. The Tigris River that irrigates a large agricultural part of Southeast Turkey is polluted by domestic and industrial wastes. Concentrations of Cu2+ and Ni2+ were determined in water, soil, and some edible vegetables as a biomonitor for heavy metal pollution.

(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2014) Ilhan, S.; Baykara, H.; Seyitoglu, M. S.; Levent, A.; Ozdemir, S.; Dundar, A.; Oztomsuk, A.; Cornejo, M. H.
A new Schiff base ligand, 1,6-Bis(2-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-4-chlorophenoxy)hexane was synthesized. Some Schiff metal complexes of the new Schiff base were prepared by the reaction of some metal salts and the Schiff base. The complexes are non-electrolytes as shown by their molar conductivities (Lambda M). The structures of metal complexes are proposed from elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-vis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity measurements, mass spectra and thermal gravimetric analysis. In addition theoretical H-1 NMR, HOMO-LUMO studies of the ligand; antimicrobial and cyclic voltammetric studies of the compounds were also carried out. In this study antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the compounds were examined via in vitro methods. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2016) Ozdemir, Sadin; Okumus, Veysi; Ulutas, Mehmet Sefa; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Akarsubasic, Alper Tunga; Dumontet, Stefano
This study was concerned with isolation and identification of thermophilic bacteria from hot spring in Afyonkarahisar (Gecek) and optimization of a-amylase production, partial purification of alpha-amylase, and characterization of extracellular enzyme from isolated thermophilic strain 19. To characterize and identify the thermophilic isolated bacteria, morphological analysis and biochemistry tests were studied. Besides, for classification 16S rRNA gene, G-C content and DNA-DNA hybridization analysis were performed. These results indicated that strain 19 is a novel species, Anoxybacillus flavithermus sp. nov. The effects of different fermentation conditions, such as incubation time, temperature, and pH, different carbon and nitrogen sources, and surfactants on a-amylase production were investigated. Various parameters such as temperature and temperature stability, pH and pH stability, detergents and surfactants, different starches, and metal ions on influence of enzyme characterization were assayed. About 93, 87, and 81% of the activities were retained after heating the partially purified enzyme solution at 50, 60, and 70 for 240 min, respectively. Enzyme was excessively inhibited by Hg2+ (6%). The enzyme was activated by Co2+ (212%) and Mg2+ (142%). Enzyme degradated 82% of starch content in apple juice at 70 degrees C in 30 min. The molecular weight of enzyme was estimated as 96 kDa.
Protective Effect of Carvacrol Against Oxidative Stress and Heart Injury in Cyclophosphamide-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Rat
(INST TECNOLOGIA PARANA, 2015) Cetik, Songul; Ayhanci, Adnan; Sahinturk, Varol
Possible protective effects of carvacrol (Car) against cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced cardiotoxicity was examined in this study. Experimental groups of the rats were randomly divided into 13 groups, each including seven animals: Group 1 (control) treated with saline; groups 2, 3, and 4 treated with 50, 100, or 150 mg/kg of CP, respectively; group 5 treated with 0.5 mL olive oil; groups 6 and 7 treated with 5.0 and 10 mg/kg of Car, respectively; groups 8, 9, or 10 treated with respective CP plus 5.0 mg/kg of Car; and groups 11, 12, or 13 treated with respective CP plus 10 mg/kg of Car. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartat transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), total oxidant state (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), and levels were high only in the CP groups. There was a dose-dependence on the CP-induced cardiotoxicity. Hemorrhage, inflammatory cell infiltration and the separation of the muscle fibers in the heart tissue supported the biochemical data. With 5.0 and 10 mg/kg Car, there was an important decrease in the CP toxicity and this was related to the oxidative and nitrosative stress in the CP-induced cardiotoxicity. Reduced inflammation and lipid peroxidation in the heart tissue and increase of serum glutathione (GSH) and total antioxidant capacity (TAS) levels were found when carvacrol was applied. Based on these findings, it could be proposed that Car was a strong candidate in preventing the CP-induced cardiotoxicity but further clinical studies should be done in order to verify its application on humans.

(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017) Ozdemir, Sadin; Oduncu, M. Kadir; Kilinc, Ersin; Soylak, Mustafa
Bioaccumulation, resistance and preconcentration of uranium(VI) by thermotolerant Bacillus vallismortis were investigated in details. The minimum inhibition concentration of (MIC) value of U(VI) was found as 85 mg/L and 15 mg/L in liquid and solid medium, respectively. Furthermore, the effect of various U(VI) concentrations on the growth of bacteria and bioaccumulation on B. vallismortis was examined in the liquid culture media. The growth was not significantly affected in the presence of 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 mg/L U(VI) up to 72 h. The highest bioaccumulation value at 1 mg/L U(VI) concentration was detected at the 72nd hour (10 mg/g metal/dry bacteria), while the maximum bioaccumulation value at 5 mg/L U(VI) concentration was determined at the 48th hour (50 mg metal/dry bacteria). In addition to these, various concentration of U(VI) on alpha-amylase production was studied. The alpha-amylase activities at 0, 1, 2.5 and 5 mg/L U(VI) were found as 3313.2, 3845.2, 3687.1 and 3060.8 U/mg, respectively at 48th. Besides, uranium (VI) ions were preconcentrated with immobilized B. vallismortis onto multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and were determined by UV-vis spectrophotometry. The surface macro structure and functionalities of B. vallismortis immobilized onto multiwalled carbon nanotube with and without U(VI) were examined by FT-IR and SEM. The optimum pH and flow rate for the biosorption of U(VI) were 4.0-5.0 and 1.0 mL/min, respectively. The quantitative elution occurred with 5.0 mL of 1 mol/L HCI. The loading capacity of immobilized B. vallismortis was determined as 23.6 mg/g. The certified reference sample was employed for the validation of developed solid phase extraction method. The new validated method was applied to the determination of U(VI) in water samples from Van Lake-Turkey. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2023) Dündar, Abdurrahman; Özdemir, Sadin; Dündar, Abdurrahman; Ağırtaş, Mehmet Salih
In this study, 4-(2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl) ethoxy) phthalonitrile (3) and zinc phthalocyanine complex (4) were synthesized and characterized. UV–vis and fluorescence spectra, aggregation, and fluorescence parameters of the zinc phthalocyanine compound were investigated. As biological properties, DPPH radical capture, antidiabetic, DNA cutting, antimicrobial, photodynamic antimicrobial, anti-biofilm activities, and microbial cell viability parameters of the compounds were determined. The highest antioxidant activity was found as 62.80% at 100 mg/L concentration with compound 4, and compound 4 also showed the best antidiabetic activity as 65.17% at 400 mg/L concentration. In DNA cutting activity, it was determined that 3 and 4 cut DNA at all concentrations. For compounds 3–4, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were found to be 32 and 16 mg/L for Enterococcus hirae and Enterococcus feacalis, respectively. The strongest MIC value of photodynamic antimicrobial activity was achieved as 4 mg/L for E. feacalis with 4. It was observed that both compounds inhibited the microbial viability activity of Escherichia coli by 100% at concentrations of 100 mg/L. Compound 4 inhibited biofilms of Pseudomonas aureginosa and Staphylococcus aureus as 92.48% and 98.56% at 50 mg/L concentration, respectively.
Structural analysis and biological functionalities of iron(III)- and manganese(III)-thiosemicarbazone complexes: in vitro anti-proliferative activity on human cancer cells, DNA binding and cleavage studies
(SPRINGER, 2019) Kaya, Busra; Yilmaz, Zehra Kubra; Sahin, Onur; Aslim, Belma; Tukenmez, Ummugulsum; Ulkusever, Bahri
One iron(III) and two manganese(III) complexes based on thiosemicarbazone were synthesized and characterized using analytical and spectroscopic data. The crystallographic analysis showed the square pyramid structures of the complexes. Electronic spectra analysis was performed to determine the nature of the interaction between the complexes and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA). DNA cleavage activities of the complexes were examined by gel electrophoresis (pBR322 DNA). The cytotoxicity of the complexes was determined against human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cell lines by MTT assay. The results indicated that complex Fe1 is bound to CT-DNA via the intercalation mode, while complexes Mn1 and Mn2 are bound to CT-DNA via groove binding and/or electrostatic interactions rather than the intercalation mode. In addition, they showed good binding activity, which followed the order of Fe1>Mn2>Mn1. Complexes were found to promote the cleavage of DNA from supercoiled form (SC, Form I) to nicked circular form (NC, Form II) without concurrent formation of Form III, revealing the single-strand DNA cleavage. No significant cleavage was found in the presence of Mn1 and Mn2; however, it was observed at 2000 and 3000 mu M concentrations of Fe1. The ability of Fe1 to cleave DNA was greater than that of other complexes and these results are in conformity with their DNA-binding affinities. Cytotoxicity determination tests revealed that the complex Fe1 on HeLa and HT-29 cells exhibited a higher anti-proliferative effect than Mn1 and Mn2 (Fe1>Mn2>Mn1). These studies suggested that the complex Fe1 could be a good candidate as a chemotherapeutic drug targeting DNA. [GRAPHICS]

(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Ergel, Abdülbaki; Aydogan, Yasemin
In this study, the effect of the Mathematics Bag Early Education Program (MAcEP) on the mathematics skills (number/counting, geometry, measurement) of 57-69-month-old preschool children was investigated. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest, posttest, follow-up test, and control group were used in the study. The study group consisted of 22 children attending preschool education and their parents. In the study, MACEP was applied to the experimental group in the form of 50 activities for 12 wk outside the preschool education program. Data were collected using the Early Mathematics Test (EMAT) and Parent Focus Group Interview Form. Mann Whitney U Test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, Friedman Test and content analysis were used to analyze the data. At the end of the study, it was determined that MACEP effectively improved the mathematics skills (number/counting, geometry, measurement) of 57-69-month-old children in the experimental group and the retention continued after the experimental period.
Trace Metal Determination in the Medicinal Plant Hyoscyamus (Solanaceae) by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry
(Perkin - Elmer Corp., 2014) Keskin, C.; Kisin, E.; Yavuz, M.
The concentrations of Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb, Cr, Fe, B, and A1 were determined in four different medicinal plants of the Hyoscyamus species: Hyoscyamus reticulums L, Hyoscyamus leptocalyx STAPF, Hyoscyamus aureus L, and Hyoscyamus albus L by ICP-OES. By considering the sensitivity of ICP-OES with respect to the trace level determination of Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb, Cr, Fe, B, and Al in the studied plant samples and the limitations of sample amount possible in a microwave digestion procedure, the ashing method was applied before analysis and proved the quantitative measurements of the elements.The accuracy of the method was verified by comparison to the certified reference sample NCSZC 73014 Tea Leaves. The RSD values were between 0.14-10.4%, while the error values were in the 90-107% range. The results show that with the proposed method higher concentrations of Ni, Cr, Pb, Fe, and B were determined in H. aureus. Interestingly, the concentration of Cu in H. reticulatus was approximately 48.5 times higher than the mean Cu values of the other three Hyoscyamus species, while the Pb concentration levels in H. aureus were 17.8 times higher than in the H. reticulatus L, H. leptocalyx STAPF, and H. albus L species.

(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2014) Ozdemir, Sadin; Okumus, Veysi; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Kilinc, Ersin
Solid-phase extraction method was developed for the preconcentration of thorium (Th). Fungal biomass Agaricus bisporus was immobilized to Amberlite XAD-4 as solid-phase sorbent. The critical parameters such as pH of the sample solution, flow rate of the sample, volume of the sample, and the effect of major ions that affect the preconcentration of thorium in this system were evaluated. The optimum pH for the sorption of Th is 6.0, and quantitative elution occurs with 1.0mol L-1HCl. The loading capacity was determined as 0.079mmol g(-1). The optimized method was validated through analysis of the certified reference material of tea leaves (NCS ZC73014) and successfully applied to the determination of Th in a real ore sample with satisfactory results.
