Abstract In this study, asphalt binder was loaded with 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%wt of grinded mixed waste plastics. The plastic comprised mainly from a mixture PE/EPDM (60/40 wt.%), . To study the effect these wastes on performance; physical properties were studied including penetration, viscosity, softening point. mechanical characteristics modified using dynamic analyzer (DMA). Two types sweep tes...

In the current study, the solid waste characterisation that belongs to Artvin city centre, which is located in East Black Sea Region of Turkey, were searched. The study has the feature of being the first study for the country of Artvin in terms of study. The field of study is composed of 7 neighborhoods and those can be separated into 3 groups as low, middle and high level of income. In this st...

A factorial experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of super absorbents and organic wastes of rice, olive marc, vermicompost and farmyard manure on the soil water holding capacity and the growth of plant based on randomized complete block design with 13 treatments at two irrigation intervals 5 and 10 days. The olive saplings with same heights and better appearances were planted...

Due to its many advantages, polymer materials have a wide range of usage areas. There are some processes that must be applied wastes within the legal framework. Recycling is one these processes. However, because it difficult and costly process, becomes attractive reuse wastes. From this perspective, evaluating feasibility in cementitious mixtures as raw will very useful research. In study, cont...

Float fraction of float/sink process of car shredder light fraction was received from RAV (The Netherlands) in the frame of the W2Plastics (http://www.w2plastics.eu/) EU7 project (magnetic sorting and ultrasound sensor technologies for production of high purity secondary polyolefins from waste). The differently coloured plastic waste particles were manually separated and after determining the m...
