Energy production is among the most prominent sectors of humankind. Combustion processes inevitably produces air pollutants. The major pollutant during a combustion process is nitrogen oxide emissions. The term of nitrogen oxides primarily include nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. These pollutants are generated regardless of the fuel content since air composition itself is the major source for these pollutants. It is possible to calculate emissions through the activity data and emission factors. Calculation of emissions is not enough for an environmental assessment. The impact of pollutants on human health relies on their concentration in the atmosphere. In order to determine their concentrations several modelling practices are developed. In this study, AERMOD used for modelling purpose of NOx emissions from a liquefied natural gas facility. It was observed that the pollutants were dispersed mostly towards south-southwest of the facility, where Marmaraereğlisi district is located. Although the pollutants transported directly to the settlement, the concentrations remained limited. During operation conditions, the highest daily NOx concentration was 1.7 μg/m3 and the highest annual concentration was 0.1 μg/m3. At maximum operating conditions, the highest daily NOx concentration was 16.2 μg/m3 and the highest annual concentration was 2.5 μg/m3. At minimum operating conditions, the highest daily NOx concentration was 1.1 μg/m3 and the highest annual concentration was 0.2 μg/m3.","PeriodicalId":126818,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research and Technology","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140426949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When these wastewaters are discharged to receiving surface waters like as sea, river and lake, aesthetically unpleasant situations form. Therefore, these wastewaters should be treated. Wastewater treatment is sometimes an expensive operation and cheap methods should be developed. The removal of Indigo Carmine (I.C., Acid dye) and Brilliant Yellow (B.Y., Azo dye) from solution was studied by coagulation using iron chloride salt in a batch reactor at room temperature. As an experimental approach, two leveled factorial design with three factors was applied as a function of pH (4-12), iron chloride amount (0.1-0.4 g/500 mL) and concentration (100-200 mg/L). Low pHs supported to removal of these two dyes. The results showed that 100% I.C. dye removal and 90.5% B.Y. dye removal were achieved. The all parameters were insignificant in respect to statistic for both the dyes. Indigo Carmine and Brilliant Yellow dyes were removed from solutions successfully. The applied treatment method was evaluated as promising due to low sludge production, low cost, low operation time and high performance. A time span of 5 minutes was found as enough for removal of both of the dyes. After treatment of I.C. and B.Y. dyes by coagulation, the coagulated dyes was determined as unreusable due to iron complex by these dyes. Flocculation was found as ineffective. Continuous reactor was successfully adopted.","PeriodicalId":126818,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research and Technology","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140427515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spotlight has been on natural fibres such as abaca, bamboo, banana, coir, flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, pineapple leaf (PALF), sisal, and more. These fibres have gained attention due to their several advantageous qualities, including lower weight, cost-effectiveness, reasonably competitive mechanical properties, impressive specific strength, and the potential for biodegradability, making them promising candidates for use as biomaterials. Consequently, they can serve as substitutes for conventional composite fibres like glass, aramid, and carbon in various applications. Furthermore, natural fibres have piqued the interest of an increasing number of researchers because of their ready availability in nature and as by-products of agricultural and food systems, contributing to the enhancement of the environmental ecosystem. This interest coincides with the construction, automotive, and packaging industries' search for environmentally friendly materials to replace synthetic fibres. The utilization of natural fibres is not only logical but also practical, as their fibrous form can be easily extracted and reinforced through chemical, physical, or enzymatic treatments. This article provides a brief overview of NFCs, delving into their chemical, physical, and mechanical characteristics. Additionally, it offers a concise discussion of their diverse applications, all with a central focus on their positive impact on environmental protection.","PeriodicalId":126818,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research and Technology","volume":"11 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140424725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
