    The objective of this study is to utilize artificial intelligence techniques for the diagnosis of complications and diseases that may arise after liver transplantation, as well as for the identification of patients in need of transplantation. To achieve this, an interface was developed to collect patient information from Atatürk University Research Hospital, specifically focusing on individuals who have undergone liver transplantation. The collected data were subsequently entered into a comprehensive database. Additionally, relevant patient information was obtained through the hospital’s information processing system, which was used to create a data pool. The classification of data was based on four dependent variables, namely, the presence or absence of death (“exitus”), recurrence location, tumor recurrence, and cause of death. Techniques such as Principal Component Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) were employed to enhance the performance of the models. Among the various methods employed, the LDA method consistently yielded superior results in terms of accuracy during k-fold cross-validation. Following k-fold cross-validation, the model achieved the highest accuracy of 98% for the dependent variable “exitus”. For the dependent variable “recurrence location”, the highest accuracy obtained after k-fold cross-validation was 91%. Furthermore, the highest accuracy of 99% was achieved for both the dependent variables “tumor recurrence” and “cause of death” after k-fold cross-validation.

    Kul, Sinan; İrdemez, Şahset; Ozdemir, Mustafa; Bedir, Ferdin

    Dünya ekonomisinde önemli bir yeri olan havacılık sektörü diğer birçok sektör ile karşılaştırıldığında çok daha yüksek bir büyüme oranına sahiptir. Günümüzde küresel sera gazı emisyonlarının yaklaşık %2'sinin bu sektörden kaynaklandığı ve ilerleyen yıllarda bu emisyonların sektörün büyüme oranları ile paralel olarak artacağı düşünülerek gerekli tedbirlerin vakit kaybetmeden alınması yerinde olacaktır. Havalimanlarının inşaat faaliyetleri süresince ekosistem olumsuz olarak etkilenirken, havalimanı altyapılarının yüksek enerji ihtiyaçları, işletme aşamasında oluşan önemli miktarlardaki atık maddeler, havalimanı operasyonlarından kaynaklanan gürültü emisyonları vb. nedenler yerel halkın refahını önemli ölçüde etkileyebilmektedir. Havalimanlarında yürütülen uygulamaların çevreyi ve yerel halkı etkilediği göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, ekonomik gerekçeleri bahane etmeden havalimanlarının yönetimleri tarafından düzeltici önlemlerin uygulamaya alınması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada bahsi geçen çevresel problemler değerlendirilerek, Erzurum Havalimanı’nın işletilmesi sürecinde, risk değerlendirmesi yapılması ve çevresel etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada çevresel risk faktörleri belirlenerek, risklerin çevreye olası etkileri L tipi matris metodu ve Fine-Kinney metodu kullanılarak ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda havalimanı bünyesinde yer alan ofis, mutfak, marangozhane, depo, bakım onarım vb. birimlerde çevresel zararlara sebep olabileceği düşünülen çevresel risk etmenleri değerlendirilmiştir. Havalimanında yapılan değerlendirmeler sonucunda L tipi matris metoduyla 11 adet orta, 243 adet katlanılabilir ve 39 adet önemsiz düzey risk tespit edilmişken, Fine-Kinney metoduyla 7 adet yüksek, 31 adet önemli, 136 olası ve 119 adet önemsiz düzey çevresel risk tespit edilmiştir. Alınacak önlemlerin, havalimanının muhtemel çevresel etkilerini büyük ölçüde düşüreceğini göstermektedir.

    Removal kinetics of vinyl acetate under aerobic and anoxic conditions in a batch bioreactor

    Yalçın Çelik, Beste; Nuhoğlu, Alper; Kul, Sinan; İrdemez, Şahset

    Vinyl acetate is a volatile organic compound widely used in the chemical industry, and there is a need for effective and economic removal of this volatile organic compound from wastewater and waste gases in chemical industries. This study aims to determine the biological treatability of vinyl acetate both under aerobic and anoxic conditions using mixed cultures obtained from a wastewater treatment plant. Considering the previous studies in the literature, testing the biodegradability of vinyl acetate under both aerobic and anoxic conditions, together with evaluating the effect of other mechanisms, such as adsorption and volatilization, on the removal of vinyl acetate, can be regarded as the prominent part of this study. Wastewater containing artificially prepared vinyl acetate was treated in a batch bioreactor, and performance and kinetic constants were investigated. Aerobic treatment under batch conditions conformed to the Haldane biokinetic equation, and the biokinetic constants of μmax, Ks, and Ki were calculated as 0.66 h−1, 19.67 mg L−1 and 50.56 mg L−1, respectively. Anoxic treatment under batch conditions conformed to the Monod biokinetic equation, and the biokinetic constants of μmax and Ks were calculated as 0.31 h−1 and 33.88 mg L−1, respectively. Experiments revealed that vinyl acetate was not volatile, and its adsorption and biological treatment performances were 28% and 72%, respectively. The mixed culture had a very high performance for removing vinyl acetate under batch operating conditions. The primary mechanism of vinyl acetate removal was found to be biological treatment.

    Bingül, Züleyha; Irdemez, Şahset; Kul, Sinan; Ekmekyapar Torun, Fatma; Demircioğlu, Nuhi

    In this study, COD, turbidity, total nitrogen, phosphate, sulphate, oil-grease and chromium removals from wastewaters taken from a local tannery using the electrocoagulation process were examined and the most suitable parameters for the electrocoagulation system were tried to be determined. Soluble iron plate electrodes were used as electrodes in the experiments. As a result of the studies carried out, the most suitable initial pH in uncontrolled pH was determined as pH = 4 and for controlled pH as pH = 5. In studies, the most suitable current density for iron electrodes was determined as 1.2 mA cm−2. Even if the increase in current density increased the amount of dissolved Fe, it negatively affected the removal efficiency. In addition, the turbidity of the wastewater was removed in 30 minutes, phosphate in 20 minutes and chromium in 15 minutes by 100%. During 60 minutes of operation, while 62.91% of TN, 87.8% of oil-grease were removed, sulphate was removed at the rate of 54.78%. In the studies, 1st and 2nd order kinetic equations for COD removal were examined and it was determined that removal kinetic is more suitable for 2nd order kinetics.

    Kul, Sinan; İrdemez, Şahset; Torun, Fatma Ekmekyapar; Reçber, Züleyha; Demircioğlu, Nuhi

    Bu çalışmada elektrokoagülasyon prosesi kullanılarak atıksuyun iletkenliğini artırmak için suya verilen destek elektrolitin türü ve konsantrasyonunun sulardan fosfat giderimine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca elektrolitsiz deneyler yapılmış ve sonuçlar karşılaştırılmıştır. Destek elektrolit tipi ve konsantrasyonunun fosfat giderme verimliliği, enerji tüketimi ve reaksiyon hızı üzerindeki etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Deneyler, elektrolit kullanımının fosfat giderme verimliliği üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olmadığını göstermiştir. Ancak elektrolit ilavesinin enerji tüketimini azalttığı ve uzaklaştırma oranını arttırdığı bulunmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlardan en uygun elektrolit türü olarak NaCl ve optimum doz olarak 5 mM elektrolitin yeterli olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu koşullar altında, 0.5 mA cm-2 akım yoğunluğunda 100 mg L^-1 PO_4-P için fosfat giderme verimi %96.98, enerji tüketimi 1.13 kWh m^-3 ve birinci dereceden reaksiyon hızı sabiti 0.0593 dk^-1 olarak elde edilmiştir.

    Irdemez, Sahset; Yesilyurt, Duygu; Torun, Fatma Ekmekyapar; Kul, Sinan

    In this study, treatment of lead containing wastewater using sewage sludge ash obtained from the incineration unit in the domestic wastewater treatment plant in Gaziantep province in Turkey was investigated. The main purpose of the study is to determine the potential of using the treatment sludge ash, which comes out as waste in the treatment plant, in the treatment of wastewater of another industry. As a result of this study, the most suitable adsorption conditions were determined and focused on the kinetics of adsorption. In the experiments, the lead adsorption capacity of sewage sludge ash was determined as 122 mg g-1 at 0.5 g L-1 adsorbent concentration in wastewater containing 100 mg L-1 Pb2+under optimum conditions. As a result of the research, it was determined that the adsorption reaction proceeds according to the pseudo second degree reaction and is suitable for the Langmuir isotherm. As thermodynamic constants, & UDelta;H & DEG; = 7.407 kJ mol-1 and & UDelta;S & DEG; = 33.25 J mol-1 were determined. As a result of this, it was determined that the adsorption reaction was endothermic, spontaneous and random, and adsorption was physical adsorption. The results show that sewage sludge ash can be used in the treatment of water containing high concentrations of Pb2+.

    The Investigation of COD Treatment and Energy Consumption of Urban Wastewater by a Continuous Electrocoagulation System

    Dede Sağsöz, Yeşim; Yilmaz, Alper Erdem; Ekmekyapar Torun, Fatma; Kocadağistan, Beyhan; Kul, Sinan

    In this study, electrochemical treatment of urban wastewater with electrical conductivity of 1000 µS cm-1 and chemical oxygen demand of 250 mg L-1 was investigated using the variables of initial pH value, current density and flow rate. Electrocoagulation was used, in which aluminum and stainless steel were selected, as the electrochemical treatment process. The electrocoagulation process was operated in continuous mode. The data obtained in experimental studies show that the best COD removal efficiency occurred in experiments where the initial pH value was 6. The increase in current density from 5 A to 15 A decreased the removal efficiency from 79 to 67%. The increase in flow rate under constant current density also reduced the efficiency of removal as expected. In experiments in which current density and flow rate were examined together, the increase in flow rate allowed the application of higher current densities. This situation led to considerable reductions in energy consumption values, even if the COD removal efficiency did not significantly increase. The high COD removal obtained with the use of high flow rate and high current density indicates that the electrocoagulation process can be used for high flow rate municipal wastewater treatment.

    Irdemez, Şahset; Özyay, Gizem; Ekmekyapar Torun, Fatma; Kul, Sinan; Bingül, Züleyha

    In this study, removal of colour from wastewaters prepared synthetically using Bomaplex Blue CR-L was investigated using raw and activated pumpkin seed shells by adsorption in a batch system. The effects of stirring speed, adsorbent concentration, dye concentration, temperature and pH on colour removal were investigated, and adsorption capacities of raw and activated pumpkin seed shells were determined. In addition, adsorption kinetics, isotherm coefficients, activation energies and thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The optimal adsorption conditions were determined as pH = 2, stirring speed of 200 rpm, adsorbent concentration of 10 g L-1 and 30 °C. Under the optimal conditions, the maximum removal efficiency of Bomaplex Blue CR-L using raw pumpkin seed shells was 73.01 %. This value rose to 79.71 % after activation processing was applied. Experimental adsorption data show that the adsorption is more suited to the Langmuir adsorption model and works in accordance with the pseudo-first-order kinetics model. As a result of thermodynamic research, ΔH° and ΔS° were 31.515 kJ mol-1 and 109.952 kJ mol-1 K-1 for the raw adsorbent, respectively. For the activated adsorbent, ΔH° and ΔS° were 43.118 kJ mol-1 and 152.237 kJ mol-1 K-1, respectively. The activation energy of adsorption was calculated as 10.918 kJ mol-1 for the raw adsorbent and 9.882 kJ mol-1 for the activated adsorbent.

    Investigation of the effect of current density and PH on oil and grease removal from leather industry wastewaters by electrocoagulation method

    Bi̇Ngül Reçber, Züleyha; Ekmekyapar Torun, Fatma; Kul, Sinan; İRdemez, Şahset

    In this study, the effects of pH and current density on the removal of high concentrations of oil and grease in leather industry wastewater by the electrocoagulation method were investigated. Two different types of electrodes were used in the study. Studies with aluminum electrodes have shown that these electrodes are more effective than iron electrodes in removing oil and grease. In addition, aluminum electrodes are affected more by the system pH than iron electrodes. Studies have shown that higher oil and grease removal efficiencies are obtained below pH 4 for both electrodes. While the oil and grease removal efficiency with Al electrodes is 95% at pH 2, this value decreases to 83% at pH 6. In Fe electrodes, while the removal efficiency is 87.83% at pH 2, it decreases to 83% at pH 6. The effect of current density on oil and grease removal was examined and it was observed that the removal efficiency remained constant above a certain current density in aluminum electrodes. While the efficiency of Al electrodes is 83.31% at 0.6 mA cm-2 current density, this value has increased to about 98% at 1.2, 1.8, and 2.4 mA cm-2 current densities. In Fe electrodes, the oil and grease removal efficiency is 82.66% at 0.6 mA cm-2 current density, while it is 90% at 1.2 and 1.8 mA cm-2 current densities and 98% at 2.4 mA cm-2. These results show that the electrocoagulation process removes the oil and grease in wastewater at a high rate. This shows that this process can also be used as pre-treatment before the biological treatment of industrial wastewater with high oil and grease content. Copyright 2021, Yıldız Technical University.

    Kul, Sinan; Cengiz, İbrahim; Gül, Volkan

    Yellow canthron (Hypericum perforatum L.), one of the plants widely used in alternative medicine, is widely grown on highways, but it is unconsciously collected and used for treatment by people without considering the negative effects of environmental pollution. This study was conducted to determine the heavy metal pollution of Hypericum perforatum L., which grows naturally on the roadside in Bayburt province, and the soil where it grows, depending on environmental factors. For this purpose, plant and soil samples were taken from 10 different points along the main connection roads where the Hypericum perforatum L. plant is densely grown and in these samples, using Agilent 7800 ICP-MS brand inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, Mg, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, The heavy metals of Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb were analyzed. As a result of the analysis of the samples, the highest concentrations were measured for Mg at all sampled points. When the heavy metal content of the plant samples was examined, it was found that other elements except Zn determined at the A9 point on the Bayburt-Erzincan highway were within normal limits, under the influence of the settlements, and when the heavy metal content of the soil samples was examined, it was determined at the A1 and A2 points on the Erzurum-Trabzon highway It has been determined that other heavy metals except Ni are below the limit values. The data obtained show that heavy metal pollution should not be ignored in the province of Bayburt, where there is no industrialization, and that such studies can be used to determine the appropriate natural treatment methods in regions where pollution is increased by repeating certain studies.

    The effect of pH on removal of phosphate from water using aluminum electrodes by electrocoagulation method; [Alüminyum elektrotlar kullanılarak elektrokoagülasyon yöntemi ile sulardan fosfat gideriminde pH'ın etkisi]

    İrdemez, Şahset; Bingül, Züleyha; Kul, Sinan; Ekmekyapar Torun, Fatma; Demircioğlu, Nuhi

    In this study, the effect of wastewater pH on phosphate removal by electrocoagulation method using aluminum plate electrodes was investigated. For this purpose, experiments were carried out at initial pH values ranging from 3-10, and the effect of the initial pH of the wastewater on phosphate removal efficiency, energy consumption and reaction rate was analyzed. From the results obtained, it was determined that the initial pHs of the optimum wastewater was 3 and 4. Because at low pH, both phosphate removal efficiency is high and the energy consumption of the system is low. While 97% removal efficiency is reached in 20 minutes at pHi=3, it increases in this period with the increase of the wastewater initial pH. These data show that the removal rate is higher at lower initial pHs. While the 1st degree reaction rate constant at pHi=3 is k1=0.2154 min-1, this value decreases to k1=0.071 min-1 at pHi=10. At pHi=3, the energy consumption of the system has been determined as 0.553 kWh m-3 in 12 minutes of contact time. In addition, in the measurements made during the trials, it was observed that the highest PO4-P removal occurred during the period when the pH of the system was between 5-7.

    Comparison of kinetics of Cr (III) ions removal from wastewater using raw and activated montmorillonite minerals

    İrdemez, Şahset; Durmuş, Gül; Kul, Sinan; Torun, Fatma Ekmekyapar; Bingül, Züleyha

    In this study, kinetics of the removal of Cr (III) from the waters by adsorption have been investigated using montmorillonite natural clay that was obtained from the vicinity of Narman, Erzurum in Turkey. Activation energy, thermodynamic values and adsorption kinetics were determined. In addition, the trials were repeated by subjecting to the same adsorbent activation process. The values found for these two adsorbents were compared. As a result of the experiments, the parameters affecting the adsorption kinetics were examined. It was determined that the adsorption process could be best depicted by pseudo second order reaction kinetics. Using pseudo second order reaction rate constants, ΔH° =-25.791 kJ mol-1 and ΔS° = 106.19 joule mol-1 were calculated for raw adsorbent. For the activated adsorbent, ΔH° =-18,806 kJ mol-1 and ΔS° = 79.37 joule mol-1 were calculated. That ΔG° increases as temperature increases indicates; adsorption is more spontaneous at high temperatures. Negative ΔH° values show that the reaction is exothermic. The positive values of ΔS° indicate increased randomness at the adsorbent/solution interface during the adsorption of chrome.

    Removal Kinetics of Olive-Mill Wastewater in a Batch-Operated Aerobic Bioreactor

    Kul, Sinan; Nuhoglu, Alper

    This study involves the removal of the olive-mill wastewater (OMW), which is a significant pollutant, in a batch reactor under aerobic conditions by mixed cultures. It also includes comparison of different substrate inhibition models, calculation of kinetic parameters, and testing the merit of the chosen mathematical model with respect to OMW concentration and changes with time. Average initial microorganism concentration (X0) in the batch reactor was 100 +/- 15 mg L-1. During the study the treatment of OMW with initial chemical oxygen demand (S0) concentration between 10 and 1,000 mg COD L-1 was investigated. Maximum specific growth rate (mu max) was reached with 130 mg COD L-1 initial concentration and 3 h experimental duration produced 57.17% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency. Other experiments with increasing initial concentration increased COD removal duration, with 927 mg COD L-1 initial concentration regressing to 8.88% removal efficiency after 3 h. The biokinetic equations of Aiba, Haldane, Tseng, and Yano and Koga were chosen to relate S0 concentration to specific growth rate (mu) and the biokinetic parameters in these equations were calculated. The most appropriate biokinetic equation was the Haldane model in terms of R2 value and the Haldane equation parameters 0.43 h-1, 45.34 mg L-1, and 207.97 mg L-1 were calculated for mu max, half-saturation constant (Ks) and inhibition constant (Ki), respectively. Also, a mathematical biokinetic model including the Haldane equation was used to test the OMW removal performance and it was seen that the chosen model was well able to reflect system behavior. After the calibration of mu max, the most-sensitive parameter of the Haldane model, to 0.22 h-1, the model gave a better fit for all tested conditions.

    Tırınk, Sevtap; Nuhoğlu, Alper; Kul, Sinan

    This study was carried out in two stages; in the first stage of the study, wastewater characterization of wastewater originating from the pistachio industry was primarily completed, and in the second stage, chemical pre-treatment studies were completed. Pistachio wastewater used in the study was obtained from a pistachio processing factory located in Gaziantep province. In chemical treatment studies, montmorillonite clay, AlCl3, Al2(SO4)3, Fe2(SO4)3 and FeCl3 were used as coagulants. As a result of chemical treatability tests, AlCl3 was determined to be the best coagulant. With AlCl3 at optimum dosage and optimum pH value, 99.6% suspended solid (SS) removal efficiency, 65.8% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency and 85.5% total phenol (TP) removal efficiency were obtained.

    The present work aims to investigate the removal of three cationic dyes (Basic Orange 2, Basic Yellow 2 and Basic Violet 3) from aqueous solutions by montmorillonite under various experimental conditions. Cationic dyes were selected Basic Orange 2 (BO2), Basic Yellow 2 (BY2) and Basic Violet 3 (BV3). The effects of pH, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, agitation speed and ionic strength, on the removal of dyes were studied. According to the experiments results, it was shown, that maximum removal was achieved in less than 45 min. The results indicate that the montmorillonite can be used as a low cost alternative according to other adsorbents in the removal of dyes from wastewater. The maximum adsorption efficiency levels attained were as follows: 95.849% BO2, 99.562% BY2 and 99.169% BV3 onto montmorillonite at pH: 5.0, 100 mg/L initial dye concentration, 0.75g/L clay dosage, 300 rpm agitation speed, 0 M NaCl ionic strength and 293 K, reaction time of 45 min.
