© 2020 The Author(s)This study investigated the fast pyrolysis behaviour of torrefied olive stones, fractionated olive stones and lignocellulosic commercial compounds. Olive stones were reacted in a continuous industrial torrefaction unit. The olive stones were also fractionated into their main components in an organosolv reactor at temperatures from 170 to 190 °C in both the presence and absence of an acidic catalyst. All samples were reacted in a wire mesh reactor at different temperatures (800–1150 °C) and heating rates (400–1150 °C/s), and the solid product was characterised for its yield, morphology, and elemental composition. The char yields from fast pyrolysis of commercially available cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin were compared with yields of fractionated olive stones. A model was developed to compare the measured yields of olive stones with the predicted yields using fractionated or commercial components. The presence of acid during fractionation had a stronger effect than the temperature, particularly on the lignin fraction. The fractionated lignocellulosic compounds provided more accurate predictions of the char yields of olive stones, as compared to the commercial lignocellulosic compounds. The fractionation at 180 °C without acid catalyst gave the cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin with highest degree of purity and resulted in the most accurate predictions of the experimental yields of olive stones. The results showed that interactions between the lignocellulosic components were not significant. The char yield of each fractioned compound and non-treated olive stones could be accurately predicted from the lignocellulosic content which has importance for biorefinery applications in which each fraction is used as a value-added product.

Analysis of the energy justice in natural gas distribution with Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR)
Şenyel Kürkçüoğlu, Müzeyyen Anıl (2023-12-01)
© 2022 The Author(s)Energy justice is violated when particular customers and locations are excluded from a variety of urban energy service distribution. This study explores energy justice in terms of natural gas distribution by providing empirical evidence from 356 neighborhoods of Izmir Metropolitan Area (IMA). The aim is to reveal driving factors of natural gas investment and the spatial reflections of the relationships between investment, and socio-economic and physical characteristics. A global regressi...
Determination of Nonlinear Joint Forces and Nonlinear Identification of Jointed Connections Using FRFs
Soleimani, Hossein; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2023-01-01)
© 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Identification and modeling of joint dynamics is an important issue in the dynamic modeling of structures with joints. Moreover, structures connected by joints may show nonlinear behavior due to the existence of dry friction between the connected elements, especially at higher levels of vibration. Therefore, nonlinear identification of joints and parameterization of them is a necessary step in the dynamic analysis of structures...
Development of a three-dimensional basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically active near-fault region of Gölyaka basin, Düzce, Turkey
Yousefi-Bavil, Karim; KOÇKAR, MUSTAFA KEREM; Akgün, Haluk (2022-01-01)
© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.The high seismicity and tectonic activity of the study area located in a near-fault region in Gölyaka, Düzce, results in a bedrock geometry highly complex in the sense of faulting and deformation. This makes this area very challenging in terms of a site response study that would aid seismic hazard assessment. This study develops a basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically formed Plio-Quaternary fluvial sedimentary layer...
Assessment of performance of horizontal drains in an open pit mine in eastern Turkey
Argunhan Atalay, Çidem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2021-02-01)
© 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE part of Springer Nature.Prediction of spatial distribution of pore-water pressure and its control are the main issues in open pit mines, since excess pore-water pressure is one of the main causes of slope instability. Horizontal drains are commonly used to relieve the excess pore-water pressure as a method of slope stabilization. This paper presents the efficacy of horizontal drains along two cross-sections in an open pit mine locate...
Modeling coastal Güzelyurt (Morphou) aquifer in northern Cyprus for mitigation of groundwater depletion through managed aquifer recharge
Demir, Cansu; Fanta, Debebe; Akıntuğ, Bertuğ; Ünlü, Kahraman (2022-08-01)
© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Groundwater depletion is considered a global problem. Coastal aquifers in arid and semiarid areas of the Mediterranean basin constitute typical examples of depleted aquifers. Güzelyurt (Morphou) Aquifer, the most important water resource for northern Cyprus, faces the problems of groundwater depletion and degradation of water quality near the coast due to significant amounts of groundwater extraction to satisfy the high demand....
