In this study, field inspection method was used for odour immission measurements around a sugar factory in Ankara. The main reasons for this selection were the high odorous emissions released from the factory and the factory being located in a residential area. Field inspections (immission measurements) were performed around a sugar factory in order to determine immission levels. At the end of the immission measurements, a setback distance of 1.5 km is determined that should be around a sugar factory.

Cadmium removal using clinoptilolite : influence of conditioning and regeneration
Gedik, Kadir; İmamoğlu, İpek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006)
Clinoptilolite samples obtained from two deposits in Turkey were tested for their potential in removing cadmium from aqueous solutions. Preliminary experiments in batch mode revealed inferior cadmium uptake at low pH. Particle size was found to have no effect on cadmium removal efficiency suggesting the use of exchangeable cations found in the internal/available sites. Increasing temperature yielded positive, whereas prewashing had no effect on cadmium removal using both clinoptilolite samples. The Langmuir...
Mixing of viscous liquids and large concentrations of spherical particles in stirred tanks
Lassaigne, Manon; Bruno, Blais; Ayrancı Tansık, İnci; Fradette, Louis; François, Bertrand (null; 2014-06-27)
Despite the importance of laminar solid-liquid mixing operations in industry for the production of various goods such as pastes, greases, paints, pharmaceuticals and food products, a large proportion of the reported results in this field has been obtained in the turbulent regime. The intrinsic multiscale nature of solid-liquid flows in stirred tanks and the complexity arising from both the geometry of the impeller and the rheology of such suspensions, particularly in the case of high solids contents, create...
Anaerobic mesophilic digestion of waste activated sludge in the presence of 2,3 ',4,4 ',5-pentachlorobiphenyl
Kaya, Devrim; İmamoğlu, İpek; Sanin, Faika Dilek (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge in the presence of a model PCB congener, 2,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB-118), and transformer oil (TO), and thereby PCB dechlorination under mesophilic digestion conditions. Two PCB-118 concentrations (1 and 20 mg/L) and one TO concentration (1.52 g/L) were studied. Beside the PCB concentrations, pH, ORP, TS, VS, VSS, TSS, tCOD, and sCOD were monitored throughout the reactor operations (159-day). Methane product...
Operating conditions-induced changes in product yield and characteristics during thermal-conversion of peanut shell to biochar in relation to economic analysis
Liu, Ruijia; Liu, Guijian; Yousaf, Balal; Abbas, Qumber (2018-08-01)
The influences of pyrolysis conditions on the products yield distribution and physico-chemical characteristics of biochar derived from peanut shell in a fixed-bed reactor were investigated in this study. The pyrolysis conditions included the pyrolysis temperature (300-700 degrees C), retention time (15-90 min), heating rate (1-10 degrees C min(-1)), gas flow rate (20-200 mL min(-1)) and feedstock particle size (<0.075, 0.075 0.150, 0.150-0.300 and 0.300-2.00 mm). Various analytical techniques were used to c...
Source Apportionment of Personal Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter and Volatile Organic Compounds using Positive Matrix Factorization
PEKEY, HAKAN; PEKEY, BEYHAN; ARSLANBAŞ, DEMET; BOZKURT, ZEHRA; DOĞAN, GÜRAY; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2013-01-01)
The objective of this study was to identify potential sources of personal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), NO2, SO2, and O-3 in an urban and industrial area of Turkey between May 2006 and January 2007. Personal exposures were determined once per person in 28 adults over a 24-h period. Energy dispersive Xray fluorescence and a wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry were used to measure 15 elements in PM2.5, including Al, As, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mn,...
