Information presented here focuses on the sustainable commercial use of natural zeolites. Topics specifically covered include; (i) use of this natural mineral for remediation of contaminated sites and clean-up of spills, (ii) treatment and handling of animal/agricultural wastes considering recent climate change policies, (iii) management of wastewater treatment plant sludge to enable valuable product formation and prevention of formation of hazardous wastes. Reuse of spent zeolites and future trends in terms of their commercial use, together with potential limitations are also discussed.

An Inquiry on sustainability and consumption through single-use disposable products Özer, Damla; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2017) The research area of this study is sustainability, material culture, and sustainable consumption, and in this context it deals with the example of single-use disposable products. This thesis aims to explore the reasons for and implications of widespread use of single-use disposable products (SUDPs) in terms of sustainable consumption; to understand the underlying patterns of and challenges for responsible consumers` experiences with SUDPs; and to investigate how responsible consumers relate themselves to th...
Fossil fuel sustainability index: An application of resource management Ediger, Volkan S.; Hosgor, Enes; Surmeli, A. Nesen; Tatlidil, Huseyin (2007-05-01) A brief review on use of fossil fuel resources and sustainability is given in this paper. A sustainability index for fossil fuels is developed, which aims to determine the most efficient management of fossil fuel resources for the energy system. The study is conducted for 62 countries, in the presence of independence, lifetime and environmental constraints. The effect of these indicators are then integrated into a single index for oil, natural gas, and coal. Two approaches have been taken. The first one emp...
Sustainability-oriented innovation system analyses of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Turkey and Singapore Kılkış, Şiir (2016-09-01) The coherency of research, development, and innovation processes are vital in promoting a more resource efficient society. Sustainability-oriented innovation systems define specific kinds of innovation systems, i.e. those that are directed to the aims of sustainable development. This paper develops an integrated method with four layers of analysis to evaluate the priorities and performances of such systems. The method is applied to a sample of emerging and innovation based economies, namely Brazil, Russia, ...
Analysis of the growth dynamics in Turkish commercial shipbuilding sector and its prospects Sartaş, Murat; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Economics (2010) This thesis aims to analyze the growth dynamics of the Turkish commercial shipbuilding industry between 1992 and 2008. It tests the hypotheses whether each of the 14 variables identified in the literature are valid in explaining the growth of Turkish commercial shipbuilding industry between 1992 and 2008 and if there is a di erence in the importance of these variables through utilizing secondary data as well as the results of the semi structured interviews made with 16 experts and managers representing all ...
CO2 utilisation by photocatalytic conversion to methane and methanol Üner, Deniz; İpek Torun, Bahar (Inderscience Publishers, 2011-01-01) In this paper we intend to give a broad overview of natural and artificial photosynthesis systems. We point out seven orders of magnitude difference of the rates of water splitting between natural and state of the art artificial photosynthesis in favour of natural photosynthesis. We reviewed the open literature for photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction and suggested routes for improvements in the low yields.
