As the limited resources are shrinking, there has been a demand to obtain solutions for potable water as well as creative solutions to treat it. One material that has not been explored is a waste product of coal mining- leonardite. Leonardite is highly produced in Turkey and has been exported to all over the world to be used in agriculture. The reasons why leonardite is working miracles in the agriculture has not been revealed but it contains humic acid and is a agriculture additive. It has a potential to adsorb many materials containing heavy metals. Since heavy metal contamination is an important parameter that affects agriculture it is important to understand what affects the adsorption and estimating the adsorption capacity of this material to be able to benefit of it further. This study shows that leanrdite is cheap and effective way to reduce heavy metals- focusing on copper- concentrations not only in agricultural fields but also in the water treatment systems.

Numerical modeling and performance analysis of solar-powered ideal adsorption cooling systems Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) Energy consumption is continuously increasing around the world and this situation yields research to find sustainable energy solutions. Demand for cooling is one of the reasons of increasing energy demand. This research is focused on one of the sustainable ways to decrease energy demand for cooling which is the solar-powered adsorption cooling system. In this study, general theoretical performance trends of a solar-powered adsorption cooling system are investigated using TRNSYS and MATLAB. Effects of differ...
Evaluation of wastewater treatment alternatives for different water reuse applications with modeling and cost analysis Uyanık, Pınar; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2020-10-22) Wastewater reclamation can be a solution to water scarcity. Several wastewater treatment schemes exist for specific water reuse applications. This thesis aims to evaluate different wastewater treatment schemes for a range of water reuse applications through modeling and cost analysis. For this purpose, different secondary level treatment schemes as conventional activated sludge (TS_A), extended aeration (TS_B) and A2O (TS_C) were modeled using BioWin for three wastewater characteristics and three flow...
Comparative life cycle assessment of uranium recovery from brine Altay, Melike Benan; Kurt, Zöhre; Department of Environmental Engineering (2022-4-15) With the increase in world population and the associated increase in raw material, clean water, and energy demands, seeking for innovative and sustainable methods to decrease the human-made environmental footprint becomes a task of utmost importance. Uranium-based atomic energy the generation has an enormous potential to efficiently supply energy demand at the cost of high environmental impact on water bodies. Therefore, estimating the environmental impacts of the uranium recovery systems from desalination ...
Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Uranium Recovery from Brine Altay, Melike Benan; Kalıpçıoğlu, Ceyda; Kurt, Zöhre (2022-06-01) With the increase in world population and the associated increase in raw material, clean water and energy demands, seeking for innovative and sustainable methods to decrease human-made environmental footprint becomes a task of utmost importance to reduce emissions and waste generation. Uranium-based atomic energy generation has an enormous potential to efficiently supply energy demand at the cost of high environmental impact on water bodies. Therefore, estimating the environmental impacts of the uranium rec...
Rehabilitation of water supply systems Toğrul, Nevzat; Merzi, Nuri; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) Management of water supply systems by an economic and efficient way is a significant issue for water authorities. Selection and operation of water supply elements appropriately to satisfy water need affects the energy consumption of the system. This study aims to constitute a long term rehabilitation plan for water supply elements (only storage tanks, pumps and transmission line pipes are in the scope of the study). A case study has been performed on N8.3 pressure zone of Ankara water distribution network. ...
