Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute a major part of the Turkish economy, accounting for a large proportion of the country's businesses and total employment. Although the SMEs are known as important contributors to environmental pollution, the relative contribution of SMEs to the total environmental impacts of industrial is unknown. The most important environmental issues related with aluminum industries are emission of gases, wastewater and solid wastes from aluminum production. In multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems in some situations, decision makers (DMs) don't or can't express their preferences obviously. In these situations for decision making, stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis (SMAA-2) can be applied. In this study, a multi-criteria decision making model is presented to determine higher priority waste types (air and solid wastes, wastewaters) among the three firms. We used stochastic data by applying and the SMAA-2 results are given. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Effluent Treatment in Denim and Jeans Manufacture
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015) Uzal, Niǧmet; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.03. İnşaat Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
This chapter discusses the major strategies that should be considered in the treatment of denim dyeing and jeans processing wastewater. It first gives an overview of wastewater characteristics and further elaborates on the different techniques currently available for treating wastewater. There follow the strategies to be adopted for water reuse and the recovery of dyes and chemicals. Also emphasised is the utilisation of novel technologies that provide waste minimisation, recovery and reuse opportunities and pollution prevention, instead of end of pipe approaches for treating this highly polluted wastewater. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
Rehabilitation of Water and Environment of The TKI - GELI/YLI Opencast Mine Lakes
(Chamber of Mining Engineers of Turkey maden@maden.org.tr, 2013) Delibalta, Mahmut Suat; Uzal, Niǧmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0912-3459; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, İnşaat Mühendisliği Bölümü; Uzal, Niğmet; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.03. İnşaat Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
During the search, production and enrichment process of mining operations the air, soil, water resources and living organisms are affected adversely. In coal opencast production, with the rise of surface water and ground water level large or small ponds are composed. The most important environmental problems of these ponds are low pH (acidic characteristic) and high metal concentrations (Fe, Mn, Al, Cu, Pb, Zn etc.) of these ponds, besides the sulfide minerals containing (S04) and the waste materials. These ponds needed to be rehabilitated for is one the sustainability of natural resources. In this study, the average pH values 6.22-7.79, turbidity (NTU) 0.63-6.71, sulphate content 840-1720 mg/L, KOI 2.27-61.5mg/L and electrical conductivity 1.72 -2.71 mS/cm have been measured during the monitoring study of three different lignite opencast mine post-production lakes of the TKI -GELI and YLI. The results were evaluated within the framework of relevant laws and regulations. Analyses were performed in three-month periods. © 2014 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
