Inappropriate management of organic wastes can cause serious damage to the environment by polluting water and air, which can lower the quality of life. Ammonia and greenhouse gases (CH4 and CO2) emitted from the waste storage units can pollute the air. Inappropriate application of nitrogen and phosphorus on fields as manure can lead to eutrophication of surface water resources and pollution of soil and ground water. Conversion of the organic wastes to biogas through anaerobic digestion will, however, reduce the adverse impact on the environment and will contribute to a reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels. This study investigated the anaerobic digestion of broiler manure and greenhouse waste as well as anaerobic co-digestion of broiler manure and dewatered and non-dewatered wastewater treatment plant sludge for the production of biogas. To this purpose, biochemical methane potential experiments were performed. Moreover, the effects of nutrient and trace metal supplementation on the biogas yield were also examined. The results of this study indicated that (1) The obtained biogas values for broiler manure and greenhouse waste were very well in agreement with relevant literature values and comparable to that of food waste reported in the literature, respectively. (2) The experimental biogas production observed for co-digestion of broiler manure and dewatered and non-dewatered wastewater treatment plant sludge is higher than literature values.

DATABASE STUDY ON THE SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT OF PLASTIC WASTE UTILIZATION IN CONCRETE: TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT ROUTE Nwaokete, Chima Daniel; Ceren, Ince; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2023-1-26) The non-biodegradable nature of most plastic waste has devastating impacts on ecosystems, the biophysical environment, and human health. The current waste management alternatives such as landfilling, incineration and recycling are often accompanied by adverse effects on the environment. Although concrete incorporating polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate has been investigated in the literature, the diverse use of these plastics along with the variances in the mix concrete constituents has brought al...
Nitrogen fertilizer leaching from cropped and irrigated sandy soil in Central Turkey Ünlü, Kahraman; Yurteri, C (Wiley, 1999-12-01) Pollution of ground water caused by excessive and uncontrolled use of nitrogen fertilizer is worrying. A recent example of such pollution has been observed in an agricultural basin in the province of Nevsehir, Turkey, where up to 900 kg ha(-1) nitrogen fertilizer is used for growing potatoes in sandy soils under irrigation. Using nitrogen fertilizer in amounts that guarantee large yields without polluting ground water is essential. We present results of field experiments and numerical simulations involving ...
Life cycle assessment of building materials in hotel refurbishment projects: a case study in ankara Çakmaklı, Ayşem Berrin; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2007) Buildings generate millions of tons of greenhouse gases, toxic air emissions, water pollutants and solid wastes that contribute to negative environmental impacts. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology for assessing the environmental performance of products over their life time. However, many building products are discarded much before the end of their service life, especially as a result of refurbishment and renovation projects. The need for such projects is increasing because most buildings are not ...
Inorganic Cadmium Detection Using a Fluorescent Whole-Cell Bacterial Bioreporter Elcin, Evrim; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Informa UK Limited, 2020-11-01) Cadmium pollution has become a serious environmental issue due to its toxicity and frequent entrance into environment components such as soil, water, and air via many anthropogenic sources. Over the last two decades, whole-cell bacterial bioreporters have been acknowledged as bio-sentinels for the determination of toxic heavy metals. Herein a sensitive and quite specific bacterial bioreporter was developed to cope with the need for the rapid and simple determination of cadmium. The construction and characte...
INTERFACIAL CHEMICAL BEHAVIORS AND SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS OF POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE AND UREA-MODIFIED SEWAGE SLUDGE BIOCHAR ON PHORATE REMOVAL FROM WATER Başer, Begüm; Yetiş, Ülkü; Yousaf, Balal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2021-9-10) Phorate is one of the widely used organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) having detrimental impacts on living creatures and the environment. As such, biochar is a low-cost and environment-friendly material that can be used as a catalyst to develop the strategic tools that reduce and overcome the challenges caused by their rising concentration. Herein, phorate removal strength of potassium hydroxide and ureamodified sewage sludge-derived biochars were described for the most goal-oriented technique. The advanced ...
