Basalt based glass-ceramics were prepared by conventional melt-quenching technique and subsequently converted to glass-ceramics by a controlled nucleation and crystallization process. Glass materials were obtained by melt ...

This study examined the removal of heavy metals Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+ from water solution by using perlite, perlite activated with oxalic acid and perlite modified with chitosan. The adsorption isotherms were also calculated. ...

This study presents drying characteristics of sewage sludge and mixtures used as an alternative fuel in cement incineration systems. In order to increase calorific value and reduce moisture, content of sewage sludge, ...

In this study the drying behavior of organic and agricultural waste mixtures has been experimentally investigated. The usability of sewage sludge as an organic waste and hazelnut shell as an agricultural waste was assessed ...

This paper presents the development of an artificial neural network (ANN) model for the prediction of the adsorption efficiency (AE %) of nickel (II) ions from aqueous solution by zeolite based on 120 experimental data ...

Artificial intelligence methods have been employed with regard to 26 sets of physical and chemical pollution data obtained from the Melen River by the Turkish State Hydraulic Works during the period of 1995-2006. Water-quality ...
