Investigation of Odor, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Parameters Originating from Textile Industry Stenter Stack
The textile industry causes significant environmental problems because of its intensive use of water, energy, and chemicals. The stenter machines, which are commonly used in textile finishing processes, release air pollutants such as odor, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and total organic carbon (TOC) into the atmosphere during drying and fixing processes carried out at high temperatures. The aim of this study was to investigate odor, VOC, and TOC emissions from the stacks of the stenter machines. In this study, odor, VOC, and TOC parameters were examined in samples from the stacks of stenter machines of nine different plants operating in the textile sector in Bursa, Turkey. The samples were analysed in accordance with EN 13725:2022 standard, EN 13649:2014 standard, and EN 12619:2013 standard for odor, VOC, and TOC parameters, respectively. Acetone, carbon tetrachloride, dibromochloromethane, ethylbenzene, tetrachlorethylene, toluene, and p + m-Xylene were the most common components. The TOC concentrations were determined in the range of 13.89–279.23 mg/Nm3. The odor concentrations were determined in the range of 4113–26,627 OU/m3.

A Novel Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Method for Electronic Nose Design Based on Olfactometry Data
Electronic nose systems are advanced technological tools that enable the objective evaluation of odors through sensor arrays mimicking the human olfactory mechanism and sophisticated data processing algorithms. These systems facilitate rapid, reproducible, and standardized measurement of chemical components in applications such as food safety, environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, and industrial quality control. In this study, measurements obtained from electronic nose sensors were compared with olfactometry panelist assessments using n-butanol as a reference substance in accordance with the TS EN 13725 standard. Furthermore, machine learning algorithms, including Partial Least Squares (PLS), Support Vector Regression (SVR), and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), were applied to model the sensor data and evaluate their predictive accuracy. The results demonstrated the reliability and applicability of the electronic nose system, achieving training mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values of 6.53% for PLS, 10.89% for SVR, and 0.15% for GPR. This study presents an innovative approach that systematically assesses the performance of electronic nose technology using a standardized reference odor and highlights the effectiveness of the modeling approach.

Nitrate and/or Nitric Acid Formation in the Presence of Different Radical Scavengers during Ozonation of Water Samples; Are Scavengers Effective?
In this study, we investigated the effect of different radical scavengers on the nitrate and/or nitric acid (NO3− and/or HNO3) formation chain in liquid while the dielectric barrier discharge plasma system (DBD) was used for ozone (O3) generation. The effects of the excess concentration of each scavenger were studied individually. In addition, ultrapure water (UPW), tap water, and surface water samples were examined in the same condition. Due to the absence of scavengers in the UPW, we expected the highest NO3− formation in this experiment because all active species produced by the DBD system should have formed NO3−. However, the obtained results were unexpected; the highest NO3− formation was obtained in the tap water at 385 ± 4.6 mg/L. The results can be explained by some compounds in tap water acting as a trap for radicals involved in chain reactions that form NO3− and/or HNO3. The second highest result was obtained in the sodium hydroxide solution as 371 ± 4.9 mg/L, since the OH− ions accelerated the decomposition of O3 to its intermediates such as hydroperoxide (HO2−), ozonide (O3−), and hydroxyl radical (OH•), and, by increasing radicals in the liquid, more chain reactions can be promoted that lead to the formation of NO3− and/or HNO3. On the other hand, the quenching of radicals by scavengers such as carbonate ion and phosphoric acid and/or the long-term stabilization of O3 as O3 negatively affected the chain reactions that generate NO3− and/or HNO3.

Ampisilinin Sn/Sb/Ni-Ti Anotlarla Elektrokimyasal Olarak Giderimine Çeşitli Parametrelerin Etkisi
Bu çalışmada, ampisilin antibiyotiği içeren atıksuların elektrokimyasal oksidasyonunda yeni nesil Sn/Sb/Ni-Ti anotların uygulanabilirliğinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Elektrolit olarak değerlendirmek üzere sodyum klorür ve potasyum klorür olmak üzere iki farklı tür tuz kullanılmıştır. Ancak, potasyum klorür ile giderim verimleri daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Potasyum klorür ile ampisilin ve kimyasal oksijen ihtiyacının tamamen giderilmesi sırasıyla 5 ve 60 dakika reaksiyon süresi sonunda gerçekleşirken; sodyum klorür ile sırasıyla 5 ve 90 dakika sonra gerçekleşmiştir. Sonuç olarak optimum elektrokimyasal reaksiyon koşulları 750 mg L-1 potasyum klorür ilavesi, pH 8 ve 50 mA cm-2 akım yoğunluğu olarak bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda, ampisilinin bozunması için yeni nesil Sn/Sb/Ni-Ti anotları ile elektrokimyasal oksidasyon prosesleri, daha az reaksiyon süresi ihtiyacı, tam mineralizasyonun sağlanması ve pH ayarlama adımına ihtiyaç duyulmaması açısından gelecekteki uygulamalar için bu konuda umut verici görünmektedir.

The evaluation of parameter effects on cefoperazone treatability with new generation anodes
In this study it was aimed to investigate the treatability of cefoperazone with new generation Sb-doped SnO2-Ni anodes. For this purpose, it was studied with Sn/Sb/Ni: 500/8/1 anodes for the oxidation of aqueous solution containing cefoperazone antibiotic by addition of different types of electrolyte. Potassium chloride was found as the best electrolyte type affecting the electrochemical reactions positively even at lower concentrations (750 mg/L−1). At pH 8 the best results were obtained, which is the neutral pH value of the aqueous solution. 50 mA/cm2was found as the best value for current density parameter, providing full mineralization just after 60 min of reaction. The removal efficiencies increased generally with the increase of current density, because active oxidants occur increasingly at higher current values. According to the results of the study it was seen that, electrochemical oxidation processes with Sn/Sb/Ni–Ti anodes could be carried out efficiently without need adding extra electrolyte (salt) and pH adjustment step for real wastewaters containing antibiotics. Thus, it was found an easy and economic way to perform electrochemical oxidation with Sn/Sb/Ni–Ti anodes for the wastewaters containing cefoperazone antibiotics.

A New Approach for Membrane Process Concentrate Management: Electrodialysis Bipolar Membrane Systems-A Short Communication
In most cases traditional and advanced treatment technologies transfers and concentrates the pollutants from one phase to other phase. However, nowadays, these concentrated flows containing heavy pollution are rapidly moving away from being manageable. In particular, membrane concentrate flows await immediate solutions to this issue. Electrodialysis Bipolar Membrane (EDBM) Processes are becoming a serious and potential solution technique for similar concentrate streams. In this chapter, principles and potentials of EDBM processes for the recycling or recovery of membrane concentrates are discussed.
