The most basic building block of solid waste management is to determine the amount of waste generated by individuals in a day. As it can be understood from here, the most important issue in solid waste management is individuals. Therefore, all kinds of waste management studies should be based on the individual. In our study, a questionnaire was applied to 1 263 people residing in Karaman. In addition, according to income levels, 5 pilot regions were determined and characterization studies were carried out in different time periods. Of the wastes generated as a result of characterization, 45.08% of kitchen wastes, 3.41% of park and garden wastes and 30.36% of recyclable wastes. Only 18.6% of the recyclable waste potential is collected with the existing system. Within the framework of the survey, the rate of those who collect recyclable waste separately is 21%. In addition, it is understood from the survey study that individuals do not know what type of waste is produced in their homes. In this framework, waste collection and evaluation suggestions were presented by determining the waste potentials with the characterization study and the individual attitudes with the survey study.

Both the waste component, the rate of wasteproduction and the amount of waste with increasing urbanization andindustrialization day by day have increased. Disposal or evaluation of these wastes resulting from industrial,commercial, domestic, treatment plant and agricultural activities has becomeinevitable for municipal corporations. The amount of organic waste in solidwastes is about 40%, and the priority preferences of waste management includethese wastes that have been chastened and recycled into environmentallycompatible products. For this reason, compost production is becoming analternative as an environmentally friendly biodegradation option that isbecoming increasingly widespread. Biodegradable wastes which are described asgarbage in public by compost are possible to convert into useful products.Therefore, compost can be made from a lot of waste as tree bark, animal faces,vegetable and fruit wastes, algae and other water plants, paper, newspapers towastewater treatment muds. These produced composts can also be used indifferent fields from fruit to flower, from erosion control to odourelimination filter material. In Turkey, 33*106 t/year of Urban SolidWaste (USW) was produced according to the data of the year 2013 and if compostproduction was made from these wastes, 6.6*106 t/year compost couldbe produced. With the assumption that 5 t/ha compost can be used foragricultural land, the amount of land that can be applied to thismanufacturable compost is seen 1.3*106 ha/year. In the light of thisinformation, compost raw materials, application areas of compost, composttechnologies and preferential reasons and compost-related legislations in ourcountry have been examined.

Bu çalışmada ticari olarak önemli olan C.I. Reaktif Mavi 114 antrakinonik boyanın renk giderimi Fenton prosesleri ile araştırıldı. Fe2+:H2O2, reaksiyon süresi, pH değeri ve sıcaklık gibi parametrelerin çalışmada ki etkileri incelendi. Maksimum renk giderim verimi (%86) pH 3, reaksiyon süresi 20 dakika ve Fe2+:H2O2 oranı 0,1 iken gerçekleşti. RB114 renk giderim kinetikleri yalancı ikinci derece kinetik olarak bulundu. Sıcaklık artışı hız sabitlerinin artmasına ve buna karşılık gelen yarı ömürlerin de azalmasına neden oldu. Tez de ayrıca Gibbs serbest enerji değerlerinin değişiklikleri ve Fenton tarafından RB114 ve renk giderimi için aktivasyon enerjisi de dahil olmak üzere termodinamik parametreleri tartışıldı ve oksidasyon sürecinin doğal koşullarda kendiliğinden olduğunu gösterildi., The effects of operating parameters, such as Fe2+:H2O2 ratio, pH value, reaction time and temperature were examined. Maximum decolorization (86 %) efficiencies were achieved at the Fe2+:H2O2 ratio of 0.1 and pH 3 for 20 minutes reaction time. The decolorization kinetic of RB114 followed pseudo-second-order reaction kinetic. The increase of temperature caused decreasing of obtained rate constants and increasing of corresponding half-lives. The paper also discussed thermodynamic parameters including changes in Gibbs free energy, and activation energy for the decolorization of RB114 by Fenton and exposed that the oxidation process was spontaneous under natural conditions.
