© 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.

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....
Use of Auxetic Infill Structures for the Compensation of Shrinkage in Fused Filament Fabrication Process Uncu, Rahman; Bacikoglu, Mehmet Canberk; Caliskan, Burak; Yaman, Ulaş (2023-01-01) The polymer parts fabricated by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process deteriorated noticeably in terms of dimensional accuracy due to the thermal processes during the fabrication and cooling phases. Commonly, researchers tend to concentrate on modifying the CAD model or fabricating the parts larger than the nominal then post-processing the artifacts to compensate for shrinkage. This paper investigates the effects of auxetic infill structures on shrinkage compensation. Parts with different internal geomet...
Examination of the Change in the Vegetation Around the Kirka Boron Mine Site by Using Remote Sensing Techniques Cetin, Mehmet; Isik Pekkan, Ozge; Bilge Ozturk, Gulsah; Şenyel Kürkçüoğlu, Müzeyyen Anıl; Kucukpehlivan, Tuncay; Cabuk, Alper (2022-07-01) © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Within the scope of the study, the change occurring in the vegetation cover was examined in different temporal and spatial scales for in the example of Kırka boron mining site. Two different satellite images, namely Landsat and Sentinel, were utilized while the competence of these two satellite images were analyzed. Unsupervised classification and vegetation indexes have been used from remote sensing techniques. It was observed...
