As a result of the use of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur oxide (SOx), and other greenhouse gases are released and these gases are expressed as the main cause of global climate change. For this reason, scientists are making an intense effort to minimize the harmful effects of SOx gases released as a result of combustion reactions in crude oil. \u0000In this presented study; the sulfur content of crude oil has been tried to be reduced by an adsorptive desulfurization technique by using expanded perlite, which is a volcanic rock type and expands as a result of heating and takes on a porous structure. For this purpose, 50 mL samples of crude oil were treated separately with 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 g of expanded perlite and then exposed to an adsorptive desulfurization process by mixing with a magnetic stirrer at 400 rpm for an hour at room temperature. Then, it was separated from the adsorbent with the help of a centrifuge and the amount of sulfur was determined by the LECO 628S device according to ASTM D 1552-03 method. \u0000As a result of the study, it was determined that the amount of sulfur in crude oil decreased by 10.82 %. The study's findings showed that the expanded crude perlite had a good capacity for sulfide loading, was renewably good, and had a stable structure for removing sulfur compounds.","PeriodicalId":9662,"journal":{"name":"Caucasian Journal of Science","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83205598","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}

However, complications of graft harvesting operations performed from various iliac donor sites have been reported by many researchers. Numerous studies have been carried out in the literature to reduce these complications, and to increase the success of the operation. However, biomechanical comparison of anterior and posterior iliac graft harvesting operations is one of the gaps in the literature. This study aims to assess both biomechanical behavior and bone graft reserve comparison of the two surgical operation alternatives. According to the FEA results of the study, posterior iliac graft harvesting provides 264% more trabecular bone reserve than anterior operation. However, this rate is 132% for cortical bone. When the models are compared, anterior osteotomy model has a 8.6% higher von Mises strain compared to the posterior osteotomy model. Results of the present study has shown that the region with the highest stress value in the cortical bone is the sacroiliac joint for both models. While posterior graft harvesting operation offers advantages in terms of morbidity rate, joint fracture risk and graft reserve, anterior operation can be preferred in terms of operational ease and the sacroiliac joint stability. However, since results obtained may be affected by the factors such as the amount of graft harvested, the patient's bone quality, anatomical differences, age and gender, it has been evaluated that the success of the operation may be enhanced by carrying out a patient-specific approach for modeling and analysis steps.","PeriodicalId":9662,"journal":{"name":"Caucasian Journal of Science","volume":"1105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76750770","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}
