AbstractTurkey has a long tradition (starting with prehistoric civilizations) and experience in exploring for raw clay materials and processing them into ceramic products. Many of these products, such as tiles and sanitary ware, are manufactured for domestic and export markets. Kaolin is one of the raw materials of major importance for the ceramic and paper industry, as well as for a number of auxiliary applications. There is ongoing interest in applying kaolin in the construction industry as a raw material in the production of white cement clinker and as an artificial pozzolanic additive for concrete (in the form of metakaolin). This report presents results related to search, assessment and evaluation of available resources for advanced cement and concrete additives.

Evaluation of high pressure pretreatment for enhancing the drying rates of carrot, apple, and green bean YÜCEL, UMUT; Alpas, Hami; Bayındırlı, Alev (2010-05-01) Preservation of fresh produce by drying dates back to ancient times and is still an indispensible technique. Conventional drying Of fruits and vegetables is often accompanied by changes in color, texture, and taste. Suitable pretreatments can improve the drying process by reducing the drying time, yielding higher-quality products, and energy savings. In this Study, two varieties of apples, Amasya and red delicious, green beans and carrots were pretreated with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at different pre...
Improved methodology for identification of Goktepe white marble and the understanding of its use: A comparison with Carrara marble Wielgosz-Rondolino, Dagmara; Antonelli, Fabrizio; Bojanowski, Maciej J.; Gladki, Marcin; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Lazzarini, Lorenzo (2020-01-01) The provenance of marbles used for ancient statuary and architecture is of utmost importance for archaeologists, art historians and archaeometrists. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive characterisation of the white marble exploited in antiquity in Goktepe (Mugla Province, Turkey) to increase the reliability for identifying this marble in ancient artefacts. A campaign of interdisciplinary archaeological and geological fieldwork undertaken by the Marmora Asiatica project is based on a multi-me...
Biological mortar application for micro-crack remediation in stones of travertine monuments Sırt Çıplak, Elif; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Bilecen, Kıvanç; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2018) Traditional conservation methods for the preservation of historical stones including applications with inorganic and organic polymers are often inadequate and results in introduction of new deterioration problems to historic structures. At this point, consolidating a stone by re-creating a structure similar to original microstructure of stone is a new approach developed to ensure the maximum compatibility by comparison to the traditional conservation techniques. In this study it was aimed to develop a susta...
Identification of possible source areas of stone raw materials combining remote sensing and petrography TANYAS, Hakan; DIRICAN, Murat; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; TURKMENOGLU, Asuman G.; Kolat, Çağıl; Atakuman, Çiğdem (2017-01-01) Understanding the location and distribution of raw materials used in the production of prehistoric artefacts is a significant part of archaeological research that aims to understand the interregional interaction patterns in the past. The aim of this study is to explore the regional locations of the source rock utilized in the production of stone bowls, which were unearthed at the Neolithic (approximately 6500-5500 BC) site of Domuztepe (Kahramanmaras-Turkey), via a combination of remote-sensing methods, pet...
An investigation on the mineralogical, petrogaphical and chemical properties of stone objects from Karain Cave, Antalya-Turkey Efe, Mehmet; Günal Türkmenoğlu, Asuman; Kartal, Metin; Department of Archaeometry (2012) The archaeological and technical questions about ancient stone tools lead to various research activities such as chemical and petrographical analysis. Considering research areas and publications it can be suggested that mineralogical studies of stone samples of ancient stone tools have disclosed useful information concerning identification of the stone. Within this context, aim of this study is to determine the chemical, mineralogical and petrographical identities of the stone samples of Karain Cave (Antaly...
