Review Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Green Biohydrogen Production From Renewable Plant-Based Resources: a Comparative Evaluation(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2024) Goren,A.Y.; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Dincer,I.; Khalvati,A.Increasing energy demand drives the need for environmentally sustainable and economically viable renewable resources to eliminate problems related to greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, research on biohydrogen (bio-H2) production as a renewable energy source has been recognized as a potential subject. It aims to reduce the pressures set by carbon dioxide emissions and the depletion of fossil fuel supplies. The field of bio-H2 science is considered potentially important; there have been increasing efforts to develop feasible systems for viable applications. This review further presents an updated and comprehensive review of bio-H2 production by dark fermentation (DF), photofermentation (PF), microbial electrolysis cells (MEC), and hybrid processes using plant-based materials. Among these processes, the highest H2 production yield of 680.8 mLH2/g-biomass was obtained using the DF-PF hybrid process. A comparison of bio-H2 production yields, the environmental impact, and the costs of DF, PF, MEC, and hybrid systems is considered, and superior performance was obtained for integrated biological processes. The comparative evaluation results showed that the MEC process is the most economical technology, followed by integrated systems. The PF is the most environmentally friendly H2 production process, presenting the lowest global warming potential (GWP) value of 1.88 kgCO2eq./kgH2 and acidification potential (AP) of 3,61 gSO2/kgH2 ; it is followed by DF and MEC processes. On the other hand, the highest GWP of 14.8 kgCO2eq./kgH2 and AP 103 gSO2/kg H2 were obtained for the DF-MEC process related to electrical and heat requirements during the production process. Furthermore, the WCP and WSF values were 84.5 and 3632.9 m3 for the DF-MEC integrated process due to the water utilization in anode and cathode solutions, while WCP was 2.91 m3 for the DF process. Overall, the results of this study further revealed that substantial effort, in the current and future, should be performed on bio-H2 production from plant-based biomass using integrated biological processes. Moreover, the bibliometric analysis presented that bio-H2 production from plant-based materials, MEC systems utilization, and nano-additives are growing areas in the bio-H2 research that provide zero-carbon energy in the future. © 2024 The Institution of Chemical EngineersArticle Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Effect of High Salinity and Temperature on Water-Volcanic Rock Interaction(Springer, 2021) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Topçu, Gökhan; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Demir, Mustafa M.; Baba, Alper; Baba, AlperIn order to understand the processes occurring in natural hydrothermal systems, it was carried out a series of water-volcanic rock interaction studies in the laboratory and an intermediate volcanic rock samples from geothermal production wells in Tuzla geothermal field (TGF) in western Turkey. A high-pressure autoclave was used to conduct water-rock interaction experiments under similar conditions of the field. Rainwater and seawater were treated with volcanic rocks at 140 degrees C (reservoir temperature) and 4.5 bar pressure. The change in the ionic content of the resulting fluids was examined in terms of the type of volcanic rocks and mineral saturation index. The results indicate that talc and diopside minerals in geothermal systems may cause scaling at high temperatures depending on the geothermal fluid and pH.Article Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination and Removal Using <i>ceratophyllum Demersum</I> L.: a Case Study(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2024) Karaoglu, Aybike Gul; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Kobya, Mehmet; Goren, Aysegul Yagmur; Mese, Esra; Tepe, MelikeAssessment of heavy metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems continues to remain challenging. In this regard, Ceratophyllum demersum L. (C. demersum L.) is a common species found in rivers and can be used as a bioindicator to see the accumulation of heavy metals in the plant body. In this study, we aimed to investigate the accumulation of toxic metals and their effects on photosynthetic pigment content in plants for different seasons. The highest metal accumulations were observed in October 2019. The mean boron concentrations were 399 mg/kg in October 2019, while they were measured as 163 mg/kg in July 2020, most probably due to the decreasing agricultural activities in the studied area. However, the highest metal concentrations (aluminium 3,941 mg/kg and iron 5,161 mg/kg) were measured in July 2010. Moreover, the pigment content values were decreased with the increasing metal concentration in plants. The highest pigment content of 4.7 mu g/g was observed in October 2019, related to the low metal contamination in this season. Overall, C. demersum L. is a promising bioindicator of heavy metal pollution in water bodies with a significant amount of heavy metal accumulation capacity in a sustainable manner.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 29Arsenite and Arsenate Removals From Groundwater by Electrocoagulation Using Iron Ball Anodes: Influence of Operating Parameters(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Şık, E.; Demirbaş, Erhan; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Öncel, Mehmet Salim; Kobya, MehmetRemovals of arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) from groundwater by a cylindrical packed-bed electrocoagulation (EC) reactor using Fe ball anodes were investigated in this study. Effects of some operating parameters such as initial pH (pHi of 6.5–8.5), applied current (i of 0.075–0.30 A), initial concentration (Co of 30–200 μg/L), diameter of iron ball (dp of 5.0–10.0 mm), height of anode balls in the reactor (h of 2–8 cm) and airflow rate (Qair of 0.0–6.0 L/min) on the removal efficiency of arsenic were evaluated. The removal efficiency of arsenic decreased with increase in concentrations of arsenic from 30 to 200 μg/L while its removal efficiency increased with increase in operating time, applied current, height of anode in the reactor, and airflow rate. The optimum operating conditions for effective As(III) and As(V) removals to meet the permissible level of arsenic effluent concentration of <10 μg/L were determined as 0.3 A, 14 min of EC time for As(III) and 12 min for As(V), a pHi of 7.5, Co of 200 μg/L, dp of 7.5 mm, h of 7.5 cm and Qair of 6 L/min, respectively. Arsenic removal efficiency, energy and electrode consumptions, operating cost, charge loading and arsenic removed capacity per amount of electrochemically generated Fe at the optimum conditions were also calculated as 96.0%, 1.442 kWh/m3, 0.0752 kg/m3, 0.612 $/m3, 252 C and 2.55 μg/mg Fe (0.762 μg/C) for As(III) removal and 95.8%, 1.386 kWh/m3, 0.0628 kg/m3, 0.546 $/m3, 216 C and 3.05 μg/mg Fe (0.887 μg/C) for As(V) removal, respectively.Review Citation - WoS: 88Citation - Scopus: 102Comprehensive Review and Assessment of Carbon Capturing Methods and Technologies: an Environmental Research(Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2024) Goren, Aysegul Yagmur; Erdemir, Dogan; Dincer, IbrahimA majority of the primary contributors of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the environment have really been out of human-made activities. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have increased substantially since the time of the industrial revolution. This has been linked to the use of fossil fuels for energy production, as well as the widespread production of some industrial components like cement and the encroaching destruction of forests. An extreme approach is now necessary to develop the right policies and address the local and global environmental issues in the right way. In this regard, CO2 capturing, utilization, and storage are reliable options that industrial facilities can initiate to overcome this problem. Therefore, we have evaluated the two leading technologies that are used for carbon capture: direct (pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-combustion) and indirect carbon (reforestation, enhanced weathering, bioenergy with carbon capture, and agricultural practices) capturing to provide their current status and progresses. Among the considered processes, the post-combustion techniques are widely utilized on a commercial scale, especially in industrial applications. Technology readiness level (TRL) results have showed that amine solvents, pressure-vacuum swing adsorption, and gas separation membranes have the highest TRL value of 9. In addition, the environmental impact assessment methods have been ranked to evaluate their sustainability levels. The highest global warming potential of 219.53 kgCO(2) eq./MWh has been obtained for the post-combustion process. Overall, through this comprehensive review, we have identified some critical research gaps in the open literature in the field of CO2-capturing methods where there are strong needs for future research and technology development studies, for instance, developing stable and cost-effective liquid solvents and improving the adsorption capacity of commercialized sorbents. Furthermore, some research areas, like novel process design, environmental and economic impact assessment of capturing methods with different chemicals and modeling and simulation studies, will require further effort to demonstrate the developed technologies for pilot and commercial-scale applications.Review Citation - Scopus: 5A Comparative Evaluation of Dark Fermentative Bioreactor Configurations for Enhanced Hydrogen Production(Springer, 2025) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Dincer, I.; Khalvati, A.Energy from renewable resources has been growing in popularity, which ultimately helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and contaminants. Since hydrogen (H2) has a higher combustion production of energy than hydrocarbon fuels, it has been identified as a clean, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy source. There are several benefits to producing biohydrogen (bioH2) from renewable sources, including lower cost and increased sustainability. Among the bioH2 production processes, dark fermentation supports commercialization and scale-up for industrial applications. This paper considers the various bioreactors, such as anaerobic sequencing batch, continuous stirred, up-flow, fixed-bed, and membrane reactors, and their operational approaches for bioH2 production. This review paper also performs the bibliometric analysis method to identify historical and current developments in a particular field of reactor configuration studies. Furthermore, the main variables influencing reactor performance and methods for increasing process efficiency considering economic and environmental aspects are addressed. The results revealed that continuously stirred reactors are widely utilized for bioH2 production as a cost-effective reactor configuration. Moreover, the membrane bioreactors and fixed-bed reactors are yielded higher bioH2 performance than other configurations. Nevertheless, high energy consumption and costs have presented the need for further development of reactors. Consequently, future recommendations to solve the critical problems faced in reactor configurations, the gaps in the literature, and the points that need improvement were comprehensively reported. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2025.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 40Arsenite Removal From Groundwater by Aerated Electrocoagulation Reactor With Al Ball Electrodes: Human Health Risk Assessment(Elsevier, 2020) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Kobya, Mehmet; Öncel, Mehmet SalimThe application of conventional electrocoagulation (EC) process for removal of As(III) from groundwater suffers from the need of external oxidation agent for oxidation of As(III) to As(V). To tackle this limitation, an aerated EC reactor for the removal of As(III) from groundwater was evaluated in this study. The effect of initial pH(i), air flow rate, applied current, and electrode height in the EC reactor was examined. The experimental results showed that removal of arsenic mostly dependent on the applied current, electrode height in EC reactor, and air flow rate. The As(III) removal efficiency (99.2%) was maximum at pH(i) of 7.5, air flow rate of 6 L min(-1), applied current of 0.30 A, and electrode height in EC reactor of 5 cm, with an total operating cost of 0.583 $ m(-3). Furthermore, the carcinogenic risk (CR) and non-carcinogenic risk of arsenic (As) was in the range of tolerable limits at all operating conditions except applied current of 0.075 A at the end of the aerated EC process to remove As from groundwater. The present EC reactor process is able to remove As(III) from groundwater to below 10 mu g L-1, which is maximum contaminant level of arsenic in drinking water according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The operating conditions were optimized with the Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology (RSM). The response variables were selected from the program as removal efficiency, residual arsenic concentration, energy consumption and operating cost (OC) in the EC process. A total of 46 experimental run was performed. The removal efficiency of arsenic increased with an increase in iron concentration (0.5-4.5 mg/L). The rest of the cations showed no noticeable effect on arsenic removal efficiency. The maximum arsenic removal efficiency and minimum OC at the optimum operating conditions (C-Ca: 305 mg/L, C-Mg: 42 mg/L, C-Fe: 3.3 mg/L, C-Mn: 2.34 mg/L, initial pH of 7.5 applied current of 0.15 A, Al ball size of 7.5 mm, 5.0 cm of Al ball anodes height in the EC reactor, air-fed rate of 6.0 L/min and t(EC): 16.83 min) in the EC process were 99.9% and 0.0332 $/m(3) for initial arsenic concentration of 200 mu g/L, respectively. The removal mechanism of As(III) by EC seems to be oxidation of As(III) to As(V) and subsequent removal by adsorption/complexation with aluminum hydroxides generated in the process. The results showed that the air-injected EC reactor can be used effectively for arsenic and hardness removal simultaneously from real groundwater sources.Article An Atmospheric Impact Assessment of Water-Based Hydrogen Production Methods: Sustainability Evaluation(2025) Goren, Aysegul YagmurPopulation growth and urbanization have significantly affected the energy demand and environmental contaminant levels worldwide. Currently, global warming with greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, acid rain, environmental degradation, and depletion of energy resources are all consequences of utilizing fossil fuel-powered energy infrastructure. Hence, renewable energy-powered alternative energy resources must be considered to minimize atmospheric emissions and environmental contaminants. Hydrogen (H2) has become a viable fuel to satisfy energy needs, and in recent years, there has been a lot of interest in green H2 production, particularly using electrolysis processes that produce no emissions. In this regard, this paper utilized the atmospheric emission assessment software to evaluate atmospheric contaminants from the alkaline electrolysis (AE), proton exchange membrane-based electrolysis (PEM), and solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) processes. Among these processes, the highest CO2 emission comes from the PEM electrolysis process, accounting for 4.68 kg-CO2/kg-H2, while the AE process provides the minimum total CO2 emissions of 3.28 kg-CO2/kg-H2. A similar trend was observed in the particulate matter (PM) emissions, and the PM2.5 emissions were 1.36, 1.30, and 1.24 kg-PM2.5/kg-H2 for PEM, SOE, and AE processes, respectively. Moreover, the environmental impact parameters of the processes were assessed, and the lowest global warming potential (GWP) of 3.32 kgCO2-eq./kg-H2 was obtained for the AE process. Accordingly, these results demonstrated that energy production techniques may be completely environmentally sustainable by substituting fully sustainable resources for the energy sources employed in current H2 production methods.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 36A Review of Boron Removal From Aqueous Solution Using Carbon-Based Materials: an Assessment of Health Risks(Elsevier, 2022) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Karagündüz, Ahmet; Khataee, Alireza; Yoon, YeojoonCarbon-based compounds have gained attention of researchers for use in boron removal due to their properties, which make them a viable and low cost adsorbent with a high availability, as well as environmental friendliness and high removal efficiency. The removal of boron utilizing carbon-based materials, including activated carbon (AC), graphene oxide (GO), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), is extensively reviewed in this paper. The effects of the operating conditions, kinetics, isotherm models, and removal methods are also elaborated. The impact of the modification of the lifetime of carbon-based materials has also been explored. Compared to unmodified carbon based materials, modified materials have a significantly higher boron adsorption capability. It has been observed that adding various elements to carbon-based materials improves their surface area, functional groups, and pore volume. Tartaric acid, one of these doped elements, has been employed to successfully improve the boron removal and adsorption capabilities of materials. An assessment of the health risk posed to humans by boron in treated water utilizing carbon-based materials was performed to better understand the performance of materials in real-world applications. Furthermore, the boron removal effectiveness of carbon-based materials was evalu ated, as well as any shortcomings, future perspectives, and gaps in the literature.
