Akpolat, Hacer; Türkhan, Ayşe; Tunçtürk, Yusuf; Bulu, Menekşe; Alwazeer, Duried
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different ethanol ratios inextraction solvent as well as the antioxidant properties of five plants. Thyme, mint, uckun, grapeseeds and green tea waste fiber was analyzed to determine total phenolic content (TPC) andantioxidant activity by ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity assays. Individual phenoliccomponents were analyzed with reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).TPC varied significantly from 2.00±0.27 to 172.68±0.19 mg GAE g-1 dw depending on the plant typeand ethanol ratio of the solvent. The effect of ethanol ratio also varied among different plants. HPLCanalysis was performed for the extracts showing highest antioxidant activity, and green tea wastefiber (699.89 mg 100 g-1 dw) had the highest concentration of phenolic compounds overall, whilemint (173.67 mg 100 g-1 dw) had the lowest amount. Correlations between TPC and antioxidantactivity was significant which is comparable to the previous report.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2020Optimising High Lime Fly Ash Content By Means of Silica Fume Incorporation to Control Alkali-Silica Reaction And Drying Shrinkage of Mortars
Gökçe, H. Suleyman; Hosseinnezhad, Hojjat; Üzüm, Onur; Hatungimana, Daniel; Ramyar, Kambiz
In this study, the effect of binary and ternary cementitious systems composed of portland cement, high-lime fly ash and silica fume on the compressive strength, alkali-silica reaction (ASTM C 1567) and drying shrinkage of mortar mixtures was researched. For this purpose, binary and ternary binders were prepared with partial replacement of cement with either fly ash (15wt% and 30wt%) or silica fume (5wt%) or both mineral admixtures (15wt+%5wt% and 30wt%+5wt%). An alkali reactive basalt aggregate was used in this study. It was found that partial replacement of cement with high-lime fly ash reduced the strength of mortar mixtures even up to 28-days. Besides, addition of 5% silica fume had not a significant effect on the early strength of fly ash-bearing mixtures. However, silica fume inclusion improved the 28-day strength of mixtures. In terms of alkali-silica reaction (ASR), the fly ash with lower lime content reduced the 14-day expansion more than that of fly ash with higher lime content. The opposite results were the case in 28-day ASR expansions. The ASR expansions of the fly ash-bearing mixtures were significantly reduced by the introduction of the additional 5% silica fume to these mixtures. However, silica fume incorporation remarkably increased the drying shrinkage values of the mixtures. Finally, fly ash with higher lime content was found to be more satisfactory in terms of compressive strength, alkali-silica reaction and drying shrinkage in the ternary binder system.

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.

Baran, Y.; Gökçe, H. S.; Durmaz, M.
Turkey is ranked in the first place with two-thirds of the world hazelnut production. As the amount of shell obtained from shelled-hazelnut is almost equal to that of hazelnut by weight, the shell is a regionally important waste. The biomass is consumed as a fuel in some homes, workplaces, and public buildings with the help of specific caldrons. In the study, the use of ash was researched in the production of blended cement. For this purpose, blended cement mixtures containing hazelnut shell ash at the ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% by weight of CEM I 42.5R ordinary Portland cement were prepared. The binary cementitious systems were assessed in terms of chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Hazelnut shell ash introduction increased the water demand up to 59% for standard consistency and reduced setting time up to 96% according to the ordinary Portland cement. Compressive strength results were remarkably reduced by an increase in the amount of ash. With over 5% of hazelnut shell ash introduction, the 28-d compressive strength value was found unsatisfactory (<42.5 MPa). The insufficient total amount of SiO2+Fe2O3+Al2O3 reduced the usage amount of the biomass ash in cementitious products due to having no pozzolanic characteristic. Hazelnut shell ash can be used as an alkaline set accelerator in concrete products as it is not steel-reinforced due to its high chlorine ion content. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Gökçe, H. S.; Tuyan, M.; Ramyar, K.; Nehdi, M. L.
The eco-efficiency and economy of geopolymer composites largely depend on their alkaline activator dosage. In this study, the effect of applying a pre-setting pressure and variation of the aggregate-to-fly ash ratio on the alkaline solution dosage and mechanical strength of fly ash-based geopolymer composites was explored. It is shown that through control of the aggregate-to-ash ratio and application of pre-setting pressure, compressive strength could be increased by 102% and 86% for Class F fly ash-based geopolymer and alkali-activated Class C fly ash-based mixture, respectively. The total alkaline solution consumption could be reduced from 718 to 188 kg/m(3) and from 769 to 262 kg/m3 for Class F fly ash-based geopolymer and alkali-activated Class C fly ash-based mixture, respectively. The proposed method reduced the alkaline solution consumption per compressive strength (6.2 kg.m(-3).MPa-1) by up to 85% compared to that of the reference manually consolidated control geopolymer. The findings demonstrate that fly ash-based geopolymers could be made more sustainable and eco-efficient through tailored production techniques. (C) 2019 American Society of Civil Engineers.

Sadak, Omer; Hackney, Robert; Sundramoorthy, Ashok K.; Yilmaz, Galip; Gunasekaran, Sundaram
We report the fabrication of a nanoadsorbent for the removal of heavy metals. The nanoadsorbent is comprised of ferric oxide (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) covalently conjugated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) and further functionalized with an azo dye (Congo red, CR) using carbodiimide. This Fe3O4 core and PAA-CR shell system (MNP/PAA-CR) exhibited binding affinity towards various cations (Pb2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Cd2+, and Cu2+) at room temperature. Using MNP/PAA-CR we studied its heavy metal removal effectiveness and kinetics targeting Pb2+ under various reactions conditions including time and pH. The Pb2+ removal efficiency and adsorption capacity were maximal at pH 6.5 and 45 min of reaction time, and the Pb2+ adsorption kinetics better fit a pseudo second-order model than a first-order model. The adsorption of Pb2+ by MNP/PAA-CR was also investigated by the so-called Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, and the Langmuir isotherm predicted a maximum absorption of 195.3 mg.g-1. Our results further indicated that MNP/PAA-CR is potentially reusable after desorption of the adsorbed metal with only small decline in adsorption ability over five consecutive cycles of regeneration.

Recently, optimization of the bioreduction reactions by optimization methodologies has gained special interest as these reactions are affected by several extrinsic factors that should be optimized for higher yields. An important example for these kinds of reactions is the complete cell implications for the bioreduction of prochiral ketones in which the culture parameters play crucial roles. Such biocatalysts provide environmentally friendly and clean methodology to perform reactions under mild conditions with high conversion rates. In the present work, at the first step the Lactobacillus senmaizuke was isolated from sourdough and the complete cell application of Lactobacillus senmaizuke for the bioreduction of acetophenone was optimized by an Artificial Neural networks (ANNs) to achieve the highest enantiomeric excess (EE, %). The culture parameters, pH, temperature, incubation period and agitation speed were the experimental factors that were optimized to maximize EE (%) by machine learning algorithm of Artificial Intelligence modeling and the best conditions to maximize EE (95.5 %) were calculated to be pH of 5.7, temperature of 35 ºC, incubation period of 76 h and agitation speed of 240 rpm with very low sum of squared error value (0.611236 %) to bioreduce acetophenone using complete cell of Lactobacillus senmaizuke as a sourdough isolate GRAS microbial species. Accordingly, The ANN was employed to correctly establish the enantiomeric excess values of the specimen with an average absolute error 0.080739 %.

Industrialization and urbanization are increasing with the effect of globalization worldwide. The waste management problems are rising with the rising population rate, industrialization, and economic developments in the cities, which turned into environmental problems that directly affect human health. This study aims to examine waste management performance in the districts located in the city of Istanbul. To ensure that the districts are clustered in terms of the similarities and differences base on waste management. On this occasion, the authorized unit managers of the districts in the same cluster will be able to establish similar management policies and make joint decisions regarding waste management. In addition, the division of districts into clusters according to the determining indicators can provide information about the locations of waste storage centers. Also, these clusters will form the basis for the optimization constraints required to design appropriate logistics networks. Waste management performance of 39 districts in Istanbul in 2019 was compared by taking into consideration domestic waste, medical waste, population, municipal budget, and mechanical sweeping area. The data were obtained from The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) and Turkey Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT). One of the non-hierarchical clustering methods, the K-means clustering method, was applied using IBM SPSS Modeler data mining software to determine the relations between 39 districts. As a result, the waste management performance of the districts was evaluated according to the statistical data, similarities and differences were revealed by using the determined indicators.

Bulut, Ayhan
The aim of this study is to encourage the development of pre-school teachers by raising their awareness about zero-waste and recycling activities. The need for this research is linked to the lack of prominence about the concept of zero-waste in pre-school programs in Turkey, and also the limited inclusion of opportunities for pre-school students to learn about recycling strategies. This research uses a qualitative design and adopts a case-study approach. The study group was purposefully sampled using criterion-sampling. Interviews were conducted with forty pre-school education teachers who volunteered to support the research, had at least five years experience, and had received training about zero-waste and recycling activities. The interviews with pre-school education teachers were conducted once and took approximately fifty minutes. Content analysis and descriptive analysis approaches were employed. The research findings were based on each interview question, and tables were created under five headings. Research findings indicate that most of the pre-school education teachers stated the children's awareness about zero-waste and recycling was insufficient during the pre-school education years. Teachers have stated that awareness about zero-waste and recycling can be enriched through the inclusion of specific content and the use of visual materials in pre-school education programs. Additionally, pre-school education teachers emphasized that using an educational game will make the learning process about zero-waste and recycling strategies more enjoyable and will also be the most suitable method in terms of the children's age and levels of development. On the other hand, teachers have stated that in order to raise children's awareness about zero-waste and recycling, there should be further studies conducted about how such awareness will contribute to the social and emotional development of children as well as studies about how children can learn-by-doing.

This study aimed to remove phenol with ozonation in a jet loop reactor (JLR) and a bubble column (BC). In the first stage of the study, the mass transfer properties of JLR were determined and superiority over BC reactors were shown, and in the second stage, these reactors were used in phenol removal studies. At the same conditions, the volumetric mass transfer coefficient of JLR was 0.540 min-1, while this value was determined as 0.246 min-1 in the BC reactor. In phenol removal, the effects of initial phenol concentration, ozone dosage and pH on phenol and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal were determined for both JLR and BC. While the pseudo-first rate constant for phenol removal in JLR at 221 mg/min ozone dosage was 0.1756 min-1, this value was only calculated as 0.1157 min-1 in the BC reactor. As a result, it has been shown that JLRs can achieve higher ozone gas transfer with lower energy consumption and perform more effective phenol and COD removal than BC reactors, especially at low pH and high ozone dosages.

Gökçe, H.S.; Canbaz Öztürk, B.; Çam, N.F.; Andiç-Çakır, Ö.
The recycling of hazardous materials within new composites has a sustainable importance as it contributes on the reduction of high radionuclide concentrations. In this study, the effect of cementitious materials i.e. viscosity modifier, silica fume and fly ash on the 226Ra, 232Th and 40K activity levels of barite concrete shields was researched by using different mixing compositions in terms of binder content, w/b ratio and the amount of supplementary cementitious materials. In comparison to cement, silica fume and fly ash used in the production of concrete shields were found to have significantly higher activity levels of 40K, as well as 226Ra, 232Th and 40K, respectively. The 226Ra, 232Th and 40K activity levels of concrete shields range between 2.2 and 20.7 Bq kg−1; 2.6 and 7.0 Bq kg−1; 51.5 and 89.3 Bq kg−1, respectively. These activity values were found similar or less than those of building materials in the world. These satisfactory results are mostly caused by the barite source which has lower radioactivity levels. The concrete mixture details used in the study caused significant variation in the natural radioactivity of barite concrete shields. The introduction of silica fume which has high 40K activity levels and fly ash with high 226Ra, 232Th and 40K activity levels compared to cement and barite aggregate, significantly increased the radiological hazard parameters, although all results were found to be below the limits recommended by international reports. In conclusion, 226Ra activity levels of the concrete shields were significantly increased (up to 8.4 times) by the variation of mix design parameters used in comparison with concrete mixtures that have the least 226Ra activity level. The 232Th and 40K activity levels were as well increased in relatively less amounts (1.7 and 0.73 times higher, respectively).

Biodegradable wastes are becoming a serious problem in terms of health and ecological balance in parallel with the increasing of local and global populations in recent years. These wastes should be disposed in both efficient and eco-friendly ways. Considering biodegradable wastes as an energy source, it is necessary to be sure that those disposal methods should be focused on energy recovery. However, the existing waste disposal methods have not reached technologically targeted lines yet. It is very important that waste-to-energy recovery systems should have high energy conversion efficiency. Nowadays, there are many current studies based on the methods of wastes incineration. One of the most significant among these systems is fluidized or spout-fluidized bed incineration system. Unfortunately, the targeted points of the technological development of these systems in view of efficient energy recovery have not been reached yet. Existing incineration systems and current studies on this issue are generally concentrated on conventional fluidized bed systems. However, there are few studies of new generation spout-fluidized bed incineration systems which increase homogeneity and prevent waste from adhering to inner wall of a combustor. This study is focused on the conducted numerical studies in this research field. The latest developments and researches on both fluidized and spout-fluidized bed incineration systems will be investigated and discussed. The remarkable results will be pointed out by using the comparison in order to identify the gaps of the scientific literature.

In this paper thermodynamic and thermoeconomic analyses and even optimization of a Kalina cycle (KC) which is adapted to an actual solid waste power plant with a 5.66 MW installed capacity are presented as an alternative solution which is utilized to produce additional power from the exhaust gas of the plant. Up to now there is almost no study related with an adapted KC to a typical municipal solid waste power plant, and also no study based on an optimization, thermodynamic and thermoeconomic analyses of such a system together. All these facts show the novelty of this study. Herein the waste heat with a temperature of 566 °C is utilized by the adapted KC. According to the analyses of the first and second law of thermodynamics on the system, it is deduced that the electricity of 954.6 kW can be produced with the exergy efficiency of 24.15%. Furthermore, this power production can be improved by using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm method (NSGA-II) in MATLAB software program. According to the optimization study, the deviations of the net power output and the total cost rate are found to be +3.62% and −1.47 $/h, respectively for the cycle.

One of the environmental concerns deals with the removal process of pollutants in water and wastewater. In this paper, a removal process was used to eliminate pollutants in water and wastewater. The aim of this paper was to obtain an optimum adsorption condition for the highest metal ions adsorbed (MIA) mg/g. For this particular purpose, a Taguchi L18 design was conducted. In addition, the signal-to-noise ratio was analyzed for optimum adsorption levels. The analysis of variance was also performed to evaluate the effect of each adsorption condition on MIA (mg/g) values. Moreover, an optimization model was also proposed to find the best optimal setting of adsorption levels. Then, the confirmation tests were performed using optimum coded levels of the adsorption parameters for the verification purpose. The results of the experimental study showed a good performance that Cu(II) removal capacity was found to be 43.66 mg/g. To the best of our knowledge, this research is the first to study natural stone as an efficient, inexpensive and cheap adsorbent for the removal process.

Optically active aromatic alcohols are valuable chiral building blocks of many natural products and chiral drugs. Lactobacillus paracasei BD87E6, which was isolated from a cereal-based fermented beverage, was shown as a biocatalyst for the bioreduction of 1-(benzofuran-2-yl) ethanone to (S)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl) ethanol with highly stereoselectivity. The bioreduction conditions were optimized using L. paracasei BD87E6 to obtain high enantiomeric excess (ee) and conversion. After optimization of the bioreduction conditions, it was shown that the bioreduction of 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanone was performed in mild reaction conditions. The asymmetric bioreduction of the 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanone had reached 92% yield with ee of higher than 99.9% at 6.73 g of substrate. Our study gave the first example for enantiopure production of (S)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanol by a biological green method. This process is also scalable and has potential in application. In this study, a basic and novel whole-cell mediated biocatalytic method was performed for the enantiopure production of (S)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanol in the aqueous medium, which empowered the synthesis of a precious chiral intermediary process to be converted into a sophisticated molecule for drug production.
