The mineral sequestration, one of the methods of CO2 sequestration, is considered advantageous, as it not only facilitates permanent and leakage free storage of CO2 but also obviates the need for regular monitoring. Mineral sequestration involves the dissolution of minerals and subsequently...

Methylene blue is one of the most widely used dyes in various industries such as textiles and dyeing which, due to toxicity, causes several environmental problems as well as difficulties in wastewater treatment process. Therefore, many studies have been carried out on the removal of the dye from...

Gaseous emissions of biowaste treatment facilities have several adverse effects. In Germany, a law to collect biological waste separately was introduced in January 2015. Since then there is a discussion about greenhouse gases which could be emitted in a significant rate and exceed the positive...

The present study aims to investigate the human thermal stress with respect to the synoptic scale circulation over the metropolitan city of Athens in Greece. The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) was applied in order to assess the levels of thermal stress employing three-hour meteorological...

In this study, we investigated the effects of Genetically Modified (GM) Maize on liver and kidney tissue weights, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels of liver and kidney tissues in New Zealand Rabbits. For this purpose, rabbits were divided into three groups: parental, first...

Coastal management is generally means planning and application of environmental changes in the coastal area. The rapid spread of industrialization, urbanization, tourism and recreational activities are affecting the coastal cities in a much more negative way in Turkey, compared to other countries...

In this study, dehydrated cottonseed cake as a low-cost and abundant byproduct in Turkey was utilized as an adsorbent for the decolorization of Reactive Blue 19 (RB19) and Reactive Yellow 145 (RY145) from aqueous solutions based on adsorption and ultrasound-assisted adsorption (UAA). Decolorization...

Since sequential batch reactor (SBR) system is sequentially removes carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous in a single reactor by maintaining anoxic and aerobic stages, it recently has attracted a great deal of interest. This study evaluates the impact of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with a SBR...
