Removal of BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl benzene and Xylene) from aqueous solutions using surface-modified zeolite
Water and Wastewater Treatment
BTEX, also known as benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene, is a common gasoline oxygenate. The contamination of groundwater and surface water with BTEX and its primary breakdown product has drawn a lot of attention. However, surface-modified zeolite's sorption mechanisms and affinity for BTEX...
Implementation a combination of bio-desulfusization and trickling filtration technologies with a variety of coconut shell charcoal filter media in reducing the content of H2S and TSS in the leather-based clothing industry
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Waste generated as a result of the leather processing industry can be in the form of solid, liquid and gas waste. Waste generated from the textile industry made from clothing H2S and TSS which if not treated properly, will be very dangerous for health and the environment. One of the efforts to...
Enhancement of adsorption efficiency by surface modified Avocado seed for xylene removal
Water and Wastewater Treatment
The current study work's contribution relates to the removal of xylene using an adsorbent with modified surfaces made from a naturally occurring substance called avocado seed. With the aid of a muffle furnace heated to 600⁰c, this was converted to become activated carbon. Activated carbon is...
Physiological response of ectomycorrhizal fungi (Lactarius delicious) to microplastics stress
Emerging pollutants
The pollution and toxicological effects of microplastics in soil have gradually attracted widespread attention, but studies on the ecological effects of microplastics on soil microorganisms and their mechanisms are still very scarce. To explore the physiological response of ectomycorrhizal fungi...
Research of Air Quality in Closed Car Parks in Konya Province
Air Quality
Nowadays, due to the development of the world, harmful gases and vapours have begun to enter the atmosphere significantly, so we are faced with the problem of air pollution and its low quality. This paper, therefore, focused on enclosed car parks, a parking system that needs to be well examined from...
Investigation of Biosorption Behavior of Red-254, a Textile Waste Paint on Activated Sugar Beet Pulp
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In this study, activated sugar beet pulp as a biosorbent was used to remove Red-254 dye from aqueous solutions. The contact time, pH, biosorbent dosage and temperature were chosen as the parameters affecting the biosorption process. In the experiments, the batch adsorption technique was used. The...
Determining the Effects of Changes in Land Use on Carbon Amount in Above-Ground Biomass with NDVI
Ecosystems and Natural Resources Management
In terms of sustainable land use management, it is extremely important to reveal the land conditions and the changes that occur on the land in certain periods. In this study, using CORINE data for Düzce province, land use status and transitions between land-use classes over 28 years were...
Monitoring the changes of Lake Uluabat Ramsar site and its surroundings in the 1985-2021 period using RS and GIS methods
Ecological effects of Environmental change
Ramsar sites are important ecosystems that are protected by international status, have great value in terms of biodiversity, and constitute a resource in terms of economic, cultural, scientific and recreational aspects. In this study, the change of Lake Uluabat Ramsar Site and its surroundings...
Deep Learning Driven Crop Classification and Chlorophyll Content Estimation for the Nexus Food higher Productions using Multi-spectral Remote Sensing Images
Water, Energy and/or Food Nexus
Due to the development of open access medium-high resolution remote sensing data like multispectral remote sensing images, crop classification becomes a hot research topic to be realized on large scale using machine learning (ML) models. At the same time, chlorophyll content is a critical index used...
Green synthesis and characterisation of ZnO nanoparticles from Manihot esculenta (cassava) peel and their antibacterial study
Nanomaterials in the environment: applications and effects
A technique for green manufacturing of zinc oxide based nanoparticles utilising cassava peel has been approached in this research for antibacterial investigation. Especially, the cassava peel is an agro waste from starch and food processing industries and the extract of Cassava peel is used for...
