    Optimization of Struvite Precipitation for Landfill Leachate Treatment
    (2018) Doğan, Selim; Aygün, Ahmet; Argun, Mehmet Emin; Esmeray, Ertuğrul
    Sanitary landfill is the most preferred municipal solid waste disposal method. The production of highly polluted leachate is a major disadvantage of sanitary landfills. In this study, optimization of struvite precipitation to remove ammonium from landfill leachate was conducted by using Response Surface Methodology and central composite design. Optimum struvite precipitation conditions were determined based upon 11 runs performed in central composite design. A second-order polynomial functional model was fitted well to the results. The statistical analysis showed that two independent variables which are molar rates of Mg/N and N/P had significant effects on the ammonium removal efficiency. Maximum ammonium removal efficiency was 99.8% at a molar rate of 1.20 for Mg/N and 1.27 for N/P for a constant 9.2 pH value. The obtained results revealed that struvite used as pre-treatment in anaerobic process can be modelled by using response surface methodology. And also, response surface methodology can be used to optimize required ammonium removal efficiency for lower Mg/N and N/P molar ratio which affects the performance of pre-treatment method that designed for an anaerobic process having 300:5:1 ratio for COD/N/P.

    Wastewater reuse in Turkey: from present status to future potential
    (Iwa Publishing, 2020) Nas, Bilgehan; Uyanik, Sinan; Aygün, Ahmet; Doğan, Selim; Erul, Gursel; Nas, K. Batuhan
    The Ministry of Environment and Urbanization (MoEU) initiated an important project, 'Reuse of Treated Wastewater in Turkey', in 2017. With this project, all wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were investigated to determine wastewater reuse purposes for the first time. The results obtained from this project were that although there are 1,015 existing WWTPs, only 15 of them realized wastewater reuse. In 2017, the total volume of reused treated wastewater in Turkey amounted to 29.6 million m(3)/year, accounting for 0.78% of the treated urban wastewater. With the present water potential and sectoral water use rates, Turkey should make key administrative and technical regulations in the coming years for water reuse. This paper aims to give an overview of wastewater reuse activities from present status to future potential in Turkey and the opportunities and challenges in expanding water reuse. The status of WWTPs, treatment processes and their compliance with the WWTPs where reuse is carried out in Turkey are evaluated in this study. The realization of the planned goals and challenges are discussed after regulatory changes in Turkey for reclaimed wastewater and reuse targets for 2023.
