The present study focused on the anaerobic biohydrogen production from olive pulp (two phase olive mill wastes, TPOMW) and the subsequent anaerobic treatment of the effluent for methane production under mesophilic conditions in a two-stage process. Biohydrogen production from water-diluted (1:4) olive pulp was investigated at hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 30 h, 14.5 h and 7.5 h while metha...

As a result of pruning operations in olive orchards, large amounts biomass material are produced every year. In this study, it was aimed to determine the residual coefficients varieties grown Southern Marmara Region Turkey. Amount residuals and its energy potential due cultivation region determined.. The were compared with values obtained from different countries. Possible uses also investigate...

Olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the most important crops in the Mediterranean region. The expansion of cultivation in areas irrigated with low quality and saline water has negative effects on growth and productivity however the investigation of the molecular basis of salt tolerance in olive trees has been only recently initiated. To this end, we investigated the molecular response of cultiva...

In this study the energy and economic flows and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of olive oil production in Iran were investigated in terms of a life cycle assessment with considering four main stages of agricultural olive production, olive transportation, olive oil extraction and its oil transportation to the customer centers. Data was collected from 150 olive growers in Guilan province of Iran....

In the present work, olive-crop yields and olive oil physico-chemical quality were studied after three and six years of olive mill wastewater (OMW) spreading at three levels (50, 100 and 200 m3 ha-1 year-1). Olive yield showed improvements with OMW level. Insignificant difference in oil content and oil quality indices of the control and treatments amended by OMW was observed. Moreover, olive oi...
