A framework for assessing the circular economy potential in the water and agriculture sectors in Türkiye through the water-energy-food-ecosystem nexus Demir, Ece; Alp, Emre (2025-03-01) The growing need for agricultural production and the consequences of climate change necessitate new paradigms for sustainable resource management such as the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) nexus and the circular econom...
Simultaneous devulcanization and denitrification: a novel approach for valorization of both ground tire rubber and nitrate-containing wastewater Çataklı, Tercan; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande (2025-02-01) This study focused on a new approach for valorization of both ground tire rubber (GTR) and nitrate-containing wastewater via simultaneous devulcanization and denitrification. Initially, sulfur-based autotrophic denitrifier...
An integrated modeling approach to assess water-energy nexus in a semi-arid watershed Özcan, Zeynep; Aydınalp Köksal, Merih; Alp, Emre (2025-02-01)
Assessment of climate changes for predicting water-energy-food-ecosystem nexus vulnerability in a semi-arid basin Ozcan, Zeynep; Trinh, Toan; Kavvas, M. Levent; Alp, Emre (2024-12-19) The Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) nexus highlights the interconnections between water, energy, food, and ecosystems. This study examines climate change's impact on precipitation and temperature in the semi-arid Sakary...
Fate and effect of Polyamide-6 microplastics in mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic digestion Şimşek, İrem; Sanin, Faika Dilek (2024-11-15) Research has demonstrated that depending on the type and concentration, microplastics affect anaerobic digestion (AD). Owing to the high abundance of polyamide-6 (PA6) in wastewater treatment plants and limited understandi...
Use of lyophilized and acclimated digestate dominated by Methanobrevibacter as a start-up inoculum in anaerobic digester led to higher methane production in biochemical methane potential assays Cam, Deniz; Sayin, Sena; Sarman, Oral Zeki; Iren, Erol; İçgen, Bülent (2024-09-01) Transporting wet inoculum for full-scale anaerobic digester (AD) start-up is usually infeasible and costly, especially, for remote locations. To overcome these burdens lyophilized AD inoculum is thought to be used after on...
Assessment of the implementation status of best available techniques for cleaner production in the textile industry Yaman, Mehmet Eren; Ozturk, Emrah; Yetiş, Ülkü; KİTİŞ, Mehmet (2024-08-01) The draft Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) regulation mandates compliance with best available techniques (BATs) for textile manufacturers. A study in Turkish textile facilities, covering 56 units across f...
A life cycle assessment of the membrane processes applied for salt recovery from reactive dyeing wastewater Şimşek, Naz Zeynep; Yetiş, Ülkü (2024-06-01) The environmental impacts of membrane treatment for salt and water recovery from reactive dyeing wastewater are assessed using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework. Three membrane treatment options (UF-only, NF-only, ...
Nutrient recovery from manure digestate by using waste magnesite powder and bone meal as sustainable substitutes for struvite precipitation Kutlar, Feride Ece; Engin, Iskin; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad (2024-05-08) BACKGROUND: Struvite (MgNH4PO4.6H(2)O) precipitation is a sustainable approach that can offer simultaneous removal/recovery of nutrients from biogas plant effluents. However, most biogas plant effluents contain a higher mo...
Enhancing Microplastics Recovery from Complex Sludge Samples Using COD‑Guided Pretreatment Sanin, Faika Dilek (2024-05-01) Given the society’s continuous reliance on plastic materials, large amounts of micron-sized plastic particles (i.e., microplastics, MPs) reach wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) every day. Despite their effective removal ...
Unraveling the mechanisms of free radicals-based transformation and accumulation of potentially toxic metal(loid)s in biochar- and compost-amended soil-plant systems Cheema, Ayesha Imtiyaz; Amina, Amina; Ullah, Habib; Munir, Mehr Ahmed Mujtaba; Rehman, Abdul; Sarma, Hemen; Pikoń, Krzysztof; Yousaf, Balal (2024-04-10) Rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in the widespread contamination of soil by potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs). Among these, arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni) are ...
Discharges of Wastewater Treatment Plants Needed Further Monitoring to Minimize Potential Risk of Entamoeba and Blastocystis for Public Health Onursal, Aslı; İçgen, Bülent (2024-01-01) The protozoan parasites Entamoeba histolytica and Blastocystis hominis are responsible for causing human amebiasis and hominis infections, respectively. These infections are highly prevalent and are often linked to waterbo...
Resource utilization in the sub-sectors of the textile industry: opportunities for sustainability KIR, Alperen; Ozturk, Emrah; Yetiş, Ülkü; KİTİŞ, Mehmet (2024-01-01) It was aimed to determine the specific resource use and reduction potential profiles in various textile sub-sectors (cotton woven fabric dyeing-finishing, wool woven fabric dyeing-finishing, synthetic woven fabric dyeing-f...
Monitoring of organic micropollutant behavior and fate in a full-scale conventional biological urban wastewater treatment plant Demirbilek, D.; İpek, U.; Yetiş, Ülkü (2024-01-01) Organic micropollutants, found at trace levels in nature, are causing significant concern due to their toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic effects.
