Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Selection of Alternative Landfill Location by Using a Geographical Information System. European Side of Istanbul. Case Study(Technical University of Wroclaw, 2016) Demir, Göksel; Kolay, Umut E.; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Alyüz, Ümmügülsüm; Bayat, CumaOne of the most difficult tasks encountered when implementing waste management practices in Turkey involves the selection of the most suitable area for a landfill. The Geographic Information System (GIS) which possesses the ability to imitate and process economic and environmental constraints, presents itself as a useful and effective decision support tool. This study will utilize the GIS to determine feasible alternative landfill areas on the European side of Istanbul, which has a high density population, showing that accurate selection results can be achieved at lower cost.Book Part Greenmetric Journey of Izmir Institute of Technology: Agile Strategies Towards a Green Campus(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2026) Keskin, E.; Ökten, H.E.; Akpinar, İ.; Baran, Y.Recently, there has been growing attention towards sustainable approaches on university campuses through disseminating international evaluation systems, the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings (GM) attracting specific attention in particular. Türkiye is one of the countries where the number of participating universities in GM rises annually at a significant pace. Most of the large-scale university campuses in Türkiye were already built by the 1990s, which led these campuses to adapt themselves to higher standards for sustainability. In this context, Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH), a 33-year-old university, has applied for the GM with its Gülbahçe Campus since 2020. This paper aims to reveal IZTECH’s institutional agile sustainability strategy, energetic and collective processes, and good practices in the last five years while examining the outcomes through the GM’s evaluation of six assessment criteria. In this regard, the sustainability practices of IZTECH have been monitored since 2019 and compared to how the developments have improved the GM scores for the past 3 years. This study, focusing on the IZTECH campus through historical, social, educational, and technological perspectives, unveils the barriers between developing and implementing sustainability practices and examines the cohesion between GM scores and annual reports of campus activities for further projections towards a greener campus. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.Editorial Special Issue on the 4th International Conference on Recycling and Reuse 24–26 October 2018, Istanbul, Turkey: Preface(Elsevier B.V., 2019) Okten, H.E.; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Balkaya, N.; Aydin, S.; Elmaslar, E.; Ongen, A.; Selcuk, H.[No abstract available]Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5A Hybrid Process for 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid Herbicidal Treatment and Its Microbial Identification by Maldi-Tof Mass Spectrometry(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) Doğdu Okçu, Gamze; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Yalçuk, ArdaThe feasibility of coupling photocatalysis and a biological treatment to remove a herbicide–2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D)–from pure water was examined using batch experiments following three protocols: aerated (A-BR) and non-aerated biodegradation (NA-BR) alone, and intimately combined photodegradation and biodegradation (P-B). In view of a subsequent biological treatment, 15 and 180 min irradiation times were chosen in accordance with spectrophotometric and LC-MS/MS results that indicated the decrease in the COD/TOC ratio during photocatalysis. Pre-treatment led to a quick decrease in concentration of 2,4-D and COD during the biological process: a 78.79 ± 0.30% COD removal and 38.23 ± 3.12% 2,4-D elimination was measured after 5760 min in A-BR, and 80.89 ± 0.81% COD and 81.36 ± 1.37% 2,4-D removal was achieved after 2880 min in P-B. For species identification using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-time of flight (TOF)-TOF/MS equipment, Aeromonas eucrenophila, Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila, Ralstonia pickettii, Sphingobacterium multivorum and Acinetobacter towneri were identified with high accuracy, and they play important roles in the degradation of 2,4-D.Master Thesis Remediation of Heavy Metals in Top Soils of Aliağa Region(2023) Baştuğ, Muhammed; Demirtepe, Hale; Ökten, Hatice EserPhytoremediation using energy crops provides the opportunity to achieve soil remediation and bio-based energy production simultaneously. However, there is limited information in the literature comparing the potential of different energy plants to remove multiple heavy metals. In this study, safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), canola (Brassica napus), and common reed plants (Phragmites australis), known as energy crops in the literature, were used to investigate their potential for removing multiple heavy metals in the surface soil of Izmir Aliağa region, the surface soil of Kozak Plateau and a mixture soil. The heavy metal removal efficiencies of plants, heavy metal accumulation in the roots and aboveground parts, bioconcentration factors (BCF), translocation factors (TF), biomass production, and soil properties on heavy metal uptake were investigated. As a result, plants generally produced more biomass in the soil with the highest heavy metal concentration and highest organic matter. More accumulation was observed in the roots of all three plants in the study. When BCF and TF were examined, it was revealed that plants mostly showed phytostabilizer properties for the heavy metals studied. Except for Pb, heavy metal concentrations in soil were reduced as a result of phytoremediation. Additionally, when the three plants were compared, safflower was proposed to be the most suitable plant for phytoremediation due to its high potential for multiple heavy metal remediation and high tolerance to drought. To conclude, phytoremediation using energy crops proved to be a sustainable technique by providing concurrent heavy metal removal and energy production.Article Noktasal Kaynaklar için Ulusal Hava Kirliliği Emisyon Faktörleri ve Envanterinin Belirlenmesi: Metal Sektörü için Örnek Bir Çalışma(Marmara Üniversitesi, 2021) Özdemir, Hüseyin; Aktaş, Muhammet Ali; Yalçın, İbrahim Ertuğrul; Alyüz, Ümmügülsüm; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Özcan, H. Kurtuluş; Köksal, Canan Esin; Çetintürk Gürtepe, İrde; Demir, Göksel; Ünal, AlperHava kalitesinin korunması için yürütülen çalışmalar ve yasal uygulamalar, günümüzde çevre bilincinin artması ile daha daönemli hale gelmiştir. Yenilenebilir enerji kullanımının yaygınlaştırılması gibi çevre dostu düzenlemeler ile hava kalitesininiyileştirilmesi artık ülke politikalarında yer almaktadır. Hava kalitesinin yükseltilmesine yönelik yasal düzenlemelerinhazırlanmasında mevcut durumun ortaya konması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Atmosfere verilen kirliliğin miktarının doğruolarak tespit edilebilmesi ve illerin temiz hava eylem planlarının hazırlanabilmesi için ulusal ölçekte, kaynaklarına göre havakirleticilerinin emisyon envanterinin hesaplanması, ulusal ve uluslararası sorumluluklar gereği atmosfere verdiğimizemisyonların belirli periyotlarda raporlanması gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle, emisyon envanterinin belirli bir düzen içerisinde,kirlilik kaynaklarına ait veriler ve yerel emisyon faktörleri kullanılarak hazırlanması gerekmektedir.

The sustainable municipal solid waste management strategy for municipalities must include collection and transportation. The collection and transportation sector have been neglected while it is one of the most significant polluters. As a result, this study aims to model municipal solid waste transportation using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software which we used CCalC2 for this study and CML2001 methodology was used. To demonstrate how different approaches to waste management through transportation can reduce environmental impacts, LCA modeling was done for the three districts of Urla, Çeşme, and Karaburun, all of which are located on the Karaburun Peninsula. Each district was assigned three scenarios, with Scenario 0 representing current municipal practices, Scenario 1 representing a 50% reduction in plastic waste, and Scenario 2 representing a 50% reduction in all renewables. Results showed that only plastic separation might not be enough to achieve significant e reductions in environmental impacts. It has been demonstrated that in the transportation sector of Urla and Çeşme, Scenario 1 had a CO2 reduction of 3.7% and Karaburun had a CO2 reduction of 3.8% while Scenario 2 represented at least a 20% reduction of carbon footprint in all three districts. Findings of this research will support municipalities in the roadmaps they will choose for the Municipal Solid Waste Management applications.Article Fotobiyokataliz Yöntemi Kullanılarak Pestisit Giderimi-derleme Çalışması(Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Üniversitesi, 2019) Okçu, Gamze; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Yalçuk, ArdaAromatik yapılı, çevresel koşullarda zorlukla parçalanabilen, kararlı organik kirleticilerin başında gelen pestisitler, atmosfere, su sistemlerine, besin zincirine taşınmakta, asıl kaynaklarından çok uzak noktalarda birikebilmektedir. Konvansiyonel arıtma proseslerinin pestisitlerin gideriminde yetersiz kalmasından dolayı kirletilmiş sulardan uzaklaştırılmaları için yeni arıtım teknolojilerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Son yıllarda, su sistemlerinden konvansiyonel tekniklerle arıtılamayan kirleticilerin giderilmesinde birleşik fotokatalitik-biyolojik arıtma umut verici bir alternatiftir: Fotokataliz toksik organikleri biyolojik olarak parçalanabilir ürünlere dönüştürürken, biyolojik parçalama ürünlerini verimli şekilde mineralize eder. Ön arıtma sırasında gereksiz kimyasal ve %60 oranında enerji sarfiyatından kaçınmak amacıyla ön arıtma basamağında mineralizasyon yüzdesi minimalize edilerek çalışma maliyeti düşürülür. Literatüre göre yalnız kimyasal prosesle yaklaşık %80 pestisit parçalanması ve %50’den az mineralizasyon gözlemlenebilirken hibrit reaktör sistemiyle tamamen parçalanma ve yaklaşık %90 pestisit mineralizasyonu elde edilebilmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı, fotobiyokataliz işleminin, bireysel fotokataliz ve/veya biyolojik arıtma yöntemlerine göre pestisit giderim koşulları kapsamında, temellerini, mekanizmalarını ve literatürde yer alan güncel çalışmaları ele almak ve incelemektir.Article Citation - WoS: 40Citation - Scopus: 47Boron in Geothermal Energy: Sources, Environmental Impacts, and Management in Geothermal Fluid(Elsevier, 2022) Mott, A.; Baba, Alper; Hadi Mosleh, Mojgan; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Babaei, Masoud; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Feng, C.; Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Uzelli, Taygun; Uytun, Hüseyin; Morata, Diego; Yüksel Özşen, AslıThe problem of hazardous chemicals in geothermal fluid is a critical environmental concern in geothermal energy developments. Boron is among the hazardous contaminants reported to be present at high concentrations in geothermal fluids in various countries. Poor management and inadequate treatment of geothermal fluids can release excessive boron to the environment that has toxic effects on plants, humans, and animals. Despite the importance of boron management in geothermal fluid, limited and fragmented resources exist that provide a comprehensive understanding of its sources, transport and fate, and the treatment strategies in geothermal energy context. This paper presents the first critical review from a systematic and comprehensive review on different aspects of boron in geothermal fluid including its generation, sources, toxicity, ranges and the management approaches and treatment technologies. Our research highlights the origin of boron in geothermal water to be mainly from historical water-rock interactions and magmatic intrusion. Excessive concentrations of boron in geothermal fluids have been reported (over 500 mg/L in some case studies). Our review indicated that possible boron contamination in geothermal sites are mostly due to flawed construction of production/re-injection wells and uncontrolled discharge of geothermal water to surface water. The dominancy of non-ionic H3BO3 species makes the selection of the suitable treatment method for geothermal waters limited. Combining boron selective resins and membrane technologies, hybrid systems have provided effluents suitable for irrigation. However, their high energy consumption and course structure of boron selective resins encourage further research to develop cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 14Thermodynamically Designed Target-Specific Dna Probe as an Electrochemical Hybridization Biosensor(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Can, Faruk; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Ergön Can, Tülay; Ergenekon, Pınar; Özkan, Melek; Erhan, ElifApplications of molecular techniques to elucidate identity or function using biomarkers still remain highly empirical and biosensors are no exception. In the present study, target-specific oligonucleotide probes for E. coli K12 were designed thermodynamically and applied in an electrochemical DNA biosensor setup. Biosensor was prepared by immobilization of a stem–loop structured probe, modified with a thiol functional group at its 5′ end and a biotin molecule at its 3′ end, on a gold electrode through self-assembly. Mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) was used to optimize the surface probe density of the electrode. Hybridization between the immobilized probe and the target DNA was detected via the electrochemical response of streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase in the presence of the substrate. The amperometric response showed a linear relationship with the target DNA concentration, ranging from 10 and 400 nM, with a correlation coefficient of 0.989. High selectivity and good repeatability of the biosensor showed that the thermodynamic approach to oligonucleotide probe design can be used in development of electrochemical DNA biosensors.
