The rice husk ash (RHA), attained by burning the husk that is removed in the process of the production of rice, possesses high pozzolanic activity and therefore is a promising, supplementary cementitious material. The thesis comprises a large database comprising over 1000 data on the RHA incorporation in concrete to examine the principal sustainability components such as CO2 emissions, cost efficiency, and eco-strength efficiency, as well as to perform a comprehensive life cycle assessment attained during this practice. Independent determination of the boundary conditions played a vital role in both the sustainability and life cycle assessment. The results showed that the use of RHA along with the pozzolanic materials could lead to a 25% reduction in the CO2 emissions generated during the concrete production in conjunction with a 65% rise in the cost efficiency of such practices. Life cycle assessment has already shown that 30% RHA as cement replacement along with the 30% fly ash already resulted in a 59% reduction in a global warming potential along with the 46% reduction in ozone depletion. It was vital to perform the life cycle assessment to validate the preciseness of the sustainability analysis as well as to demonstrate that the results in both analyses are in a great correlation. The findings reported in this study do not only suggest significant sustainable consequences for the construction practice but also encourage greener waste management routes to be established for RHA.

Life cycle assessment of sericin recovery from silk degumming wastewaters
ÇAPAR, GÖKŞEN; PİLEVNELİ, TOLGA; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (2022-12-01)
Sericin is a silk protein discarded with silk degumming wastewater. Life cycle assessment of sericin recovery from silk degumming wastewater was conducted considering two scenarios; base scenario (no recovery), and sericin recovery with membrane hybrid processes. Base scenario consists of silk degumming and treatment of degumming wastewater. The recovery scenario consists of sericin recovery with the process train; silk degumming, sedimentation, nanofiltration (NF), precipitation and lyophilization. Spray d...
Hydration of alinite cement produced from soda waste sludge
Ucal, Gultekin Ozan; Mahyar, Mandi; Tokyay, Mustafa (2018-03-10)
Alinite cement is an alternative inorganic, low-energy binding material. This experimental study investigated hydration characteristics of alinite cement which was produced by using soda waste sludge as a raw material. Paste microstructures were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Heat of hydration and compressive strength values were also determined. Formation of C-S-H gel and calcium chloroaluminate hydrates which resemble Friedel's salt was observed. Induction period of ...
Effects of an edible coating, fungicide and cold storage on microbial spoilage of cherries
Yaman, O; Bayındırlı, Levent A. (2001-01-01)
The effects of an edible coating, i.e., Semperfresh (TM), fungicide, i.e., Imazalil, and cold storage on microbial spoilage of cherries were studied. Two group of cherries (Prunus avium) were coated just after harvest with 1% and 2% Semperfresh (TM) fruit coating. Two other group of cherries were treated with 75 ppm and 150 ppm concentrations of Imazalil and then coated with a 1% concentration of Semperfresh (TM) fruit coating. Half of the cherries from each of the above groups was stored at ambient tempera...
Mechanical properties, durability, and life-cycle assessment of self-consolidating concrete mixtures made with blended portland cements containing fly ash and limestone powder
Çelik, Kemal; Akgül, Çağla; Gursel, A. Petek; Mehta, P Kumar; Horvath, Arpad; Monteiro, Paulo JM (2015-02-01)
This paper reports the composition and properties of highly flowable self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures made of high proportions of cement replacement materials such as fly ash and pulverized limestone instead of high dosage of a plasticizing agent or viscosity-modifying chemical admixtures. Self-consolidating concrete mixtures are being increasingly used for the construction of highly reinforced complex concrete elements and for massive concrete structures such as dams and thick foundation. In this...
Dielectric and Thermal Properties of Rice Cake Formulations Containing Different Gums Types
Turabi, Elif; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Sumnu, Gulum; Şahin, Serpil; Rother, Matthias (Informa UK Limited, 2010-10-25)
In this study, dielectric properties of rice cake formulations containing different gum types (xanthan, guar, locust bean, HPMC, and kappa-carrageenan) were determined at temperatures between 25 and 90 degrees C at 2450 MHz. Moreover, thermal properties of these formulations were determined by using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Dielectric properties of cake batters were found to be dependent on cake formulation. Xanthan and guar gum containing cake batters had the highest dielectric constant and...
