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 ...
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...
Linear solvation energy relationships for adsorption of aromatic organic compounds by microplastics Hatinoglu, Dilara; Adan, Abdulrahman; Perreault, Francois; İmamoğlu, İpek; Apul, Onur G. (2023-12-05) This study develops predictive models for adsorption of organic compounds (OC) by microplastics using linear solvation energy relationship (LSER). The adsorption mechanism of aromatic OCs by microplastics was investigated ...
Methane Recovery from Cattle Manure: Role of Granular Activated Carbon Amendment into Anaerobic Digestion-Microbial Electrolysis Cells (AD-MECs) Integrated Systems Ghaderikia, Amin; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad (2023-12-01) Anaerobic digestion (AD) of manure is commonly applied, yet the low methane (CH4) production yield and rate are among the limitations of the process. AD integration with microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) and amendment of...
Enhanced biohydrogen production from high loads of unpretreated cattle manure by cellulolytic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii at 75 °C Tunca, Berivan; Kutlar, Feride Ece; Kas, Aykut; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad (2023-11-01)
Modification of Saharan dust size distribution during its transport over the Anatolian Plateau Uzunpınar, Elif Sena; İmamoğlu, İpek; Rahmani, Amir; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2023-09-20) Particle number size distribution in dust plumes and its modification as the plume travels over the Anatolia were investigated by measuring particle number size distributions at two stations: one located on the Mediterrane...
Novel catabolic pathway for 4-Nitroaniline in a Rhodococcus sp. strain JS360 Kurt, Zöhre; Qu, Yi; Spain, Jim C. (2023-07-15) 4-Nitroaniline (4NA), the starting material for the first synthesized azo dye, is a toxic compound found in industrial wastewaters. Several bacterial strains capable of 4NA biodegradation were previously reported but the d...
Seasonal monitoring of microbial activity using conventional approaches in a full-scale urban biological wastewater treatment plant Demirbilek, Deniz; İpek, Ubeyde; Yetiş, Ülkü (2023-05-01) Activated sludge processes contain various groups of microorganisms with different metabolic properties, which are responsible for contaminants removal. Therefore, it is important to elucidate the general structure and fun...
Preparation of chabazite based Fenton-like heterogeneous catalyst and its organic micropollutant removal performance Ali, Mohsin; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; İpek Torun, Bahar (2023-04-01) Natural chabazite (CHA) is used for the first time as a heterogeneous catalyst in Fenton-like oxi- dation.
