This work aims to evaluate waste marble dust in building industry therefore minimizing the environmental effects of waste dust and maximizing economic benefits with reducing the use of raw material and energy. The marble process industry generates a large amount of wastes during quarrying and sawing processes which pollute and damage the environment. There are many fields in which the marble wastes can be used, one of them is to use them in building industry. In this work, marble dusts provided from 3 different quarries, coming from 3 different places were coded as BN1, BN2 and BN3. After characterizing tests of the dust, they were used in the production of artificial marble tiles using a different amount of resin binder. By the respective physical, optical, chemical, and mechanical tests the maximum quantities that can be added have been determined. The results show that using 80 wt.-% marble dust and 20 wt.-% resin gives the best properties in tiles.

Evaluating the use of satellite-based precipitation estimates for discharge estimation in ungauged basins Soytekin, Arzu; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) For the process of social and economic development, hydropower energy has an important role such as being renewable, clean, and having less impact on the environment. In decision of the hydropower potential of a study area, the preliminary condition is the availability of the gages in the area. However, in Turkey, the gages in working order are limited and getting decreased in recent years. Therefore, the satellite based precipitation estimates has been gaining importance to predict runoff for ungauged basi...
Comparative life cycle assessment of uranium recovery from brine Altay, Melike Benan; Kurt, Zöhre; Department of Environmental Engineering (2022-4-15) With the increase in world population and the associated increase in raw material, clean water, and energy demands, seeking for innovative and sustainable methods to decrease the human-made environmental footprint becomes a task of utmost importance. Uranium-based atomic energy the generation has an enormous potential to efficiently supply energy demand at the cost of high environmental impact on water bodies. Therefore, estimating the environmental impacts of the uranium recovery systems from desalination ...
Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Uranium Recovery from Brine Altay, Melike Benan; Kalıpçıoğlu, Ceyda; Kurt, Zöhre (2022-06-01) With the increase in world population and the associated increase in raw material, clean water and energy demands, seeking for innovative and sustainable methods to decrease human-made environmental footprint becomes a task of utmost importance to reduce emissions and waste generation. Uranium-based atomic energy generation has an enormous potential to efficiently supply energy demand at the cost of high environmental impact on water bodies. Therefore, estimating the environmental impacts of the uranium rec...
Development of a knowledge-based tool for waste management of prefabricated steel structure projects Mirshekarlou, Babak Rahmani; BUDAYAN, Cenk; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2021-11-01) Although the construction industry is critical for sustainability goals due to the high amount of waste it generates, its waste management performance is still not at the desired level. One of the main reasons for this can be attributed to the lack of enough knowledge of construction companies on the sources/reasons of waste and amount of waste. The major aim of this study was to develop a knowledge-based tool for capturing, storing, and disseminating waste-related knowledge for prefabricated steel construc...
Analysis of public use bicycle systems from a product-service system perspective Keskin, Duygu; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2006) Recent studies on sustainability indicate that the concept of the Product-Service System (PSS) is a promising approach to dematerialise the economy and reduce the environmental impacts of industrial activity. Considering the urban scale, mobility is one of the challenges that should be addressed and improved for a better quality of life for residents and lower pollution levels for the environment. In this respect, this study aims at analysing Public Use Bicycle (PUB) systems from a PSS perspective. Six PUB ...
