Cadmium (Cd) contamination of arable soils and its subsequent accumulation in food is one of the global issues which needs urgent attention. Field experiments were conducted to explore the impacts of ten silicon (Si) rich amendments on Cd bioavailability and accumulation by maize and wheat irrigated with sewage effluents. Results depicted that applied amendments decreased the total Cd accumulation in shoots and grains of both crops with and the maximum decrease was observed in rice husk biochar (RHB) treatment. The RHB was able to significantly decrease the translocation factor, Cd harvest and health risk indexes. All amendments differentially affected the soil pH, EC, CaCl2-extractable Si, and decreased the AB-DTPA-extractable soil Cd. Overall, suitable Si rich amendments (like RHB and CSB etc.) can be employed to mitigate the health risks associated with dietary Cd in untreated sewage irrigated fields. However, the cost-benefit analysis such Si rich amendments should be considered before final recommendations. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Detection of gamma irradiated spices with OSL method and its reliability AYGÜN, ŞÜKRAN GİZEM; BOZOĞLU, TAHSİN FARUK; Bulur, Enver (2016-01-01) Irradiation has been accepted as an effective food safety method for various foods over 50 years. Gamma rays from radioactive isotopes of Cobalt 60 or Cesium 137 are used for food irradiation applications. The main concern about food irradiation is the detection of these irradiated foods and also loss of detection of irradiation through the storage period. Photo Stimulated Luminescence (PSL) is one of the physical techniques that can be used for irradiation detection. The aim of this study is to analyze the...
Effects of municipal wastewater treatment sludges on some soil properties in field experiment Akça, Muhittin Onur; Farasat, Shima; Namlı, Ayten; Sanin, Faika Dilek (null; 2018-07-05) Introduction: The agricultural use has become the principal disposal method for sewage sludge in Europe, agricultural use accounts for 37% of the total sludge produced and it is expected that stabilized sludge will be used in agriculture in large quantities in the next years in many important EU member states. The reuse of treated municipal sewage sludge (biosolids) in agriculture provides the nutrients and micronutrients (such as N, P, K but also Fe, B, Cu and Ni among others) necessary for plant and crop ...
Cost-effective approach to ethanol production and optimization by response surface methodology Uncu, Oya Nihan; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-01) Food wastes disposed from residential and industrial kitchens have gained attention as a substrate in microbial fermentations to reduce product costs. In this study, the potential of simultaneously hydrolyzing and subsequently fermenting the mixed carbohydrate components of kitchen wastes were assessed and the effects of solid load, inoculum volume of baker's yeast, and fermentation time on ethanol production were evaluated by response surface methodology (RSM). The enzymatic hydrolysis process was complete...
Improvement of Pectinase Production by Co-culture of Bacillus spp. Using Apple Pomace as a Carbon Source Kuvvet, Ceren; UZUNER, SİBEL; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2019-05-01) Increasing interest in using food and agricultural wastes for low cost enzyme production continues in fermentation industry. Bacteria, especially Bacillus subtilis, are known to produce pectinases in synthetic media and media amended with agricultural wastes as a carbon source, whereas the potential of co-culturing Bacillus species to produce pectinases has not been fully studied yet. In this study, co-culture of B. subtilis and B. pumilus was optimized for solid load and pH to maximize pectinase production...
Recovery of Scandium by Crystallization Techniques Peters, Edward Michael; Kaya, Serap; Dittrich, Carsten; Forsberg, Kerstin (2019-03-01) Bauxite residues, i.e., red mud, can be processed to recover various valuable end products, while reducing the environmental impact of the waste. Scandium is one of the valuable elements in bauxite residues. It is possible to extract and enrich scandium from red mud by leaching and solvent extraction. Scandium can then be recovered from the pregnant strip liquor by crystallization. Different crystallization techniques can be used to generate the supersaturation required for scandium to crystallize out as a ...
