Name of the Intensive Project : Micro sustainable design ? eco friendly products
The number of partners : 8
Partner countries : Lithuania, Sweden, Turkey, Latvia, Portugal, Denmark
The SDU Representative : Lecturer S.Tulga Telli, Engineering and Architecture Faculty, Department Of Textile Engineering.
Period : 3 years

X1 & X2 The proposed Intensive programme ?Micro sustainable design ? eco friendly products? will improve the quality of student and teaching staff mobility and the quality of multilateral cooperation between Higher education institutions (HEI?s) through the joint development of this IP by 8 different HEI?s from 6 different European countries. This programme over a period of three years will be offered for 35 students (7 - from hosting institution, 4 - from each partner institution) and for 10 academic staff members (1 - from each partner institution and 3 - from hosting institution) per year from:
1. Lithuania: Vilnius College of Design (VDK),
2. Sweden: Chalmers University of Technology (CUT),
3. Turkey: Suleyman Demirel University (SDU),
4. Latvia: Ekonomikas un kulturas augstskola (EKA),
5. Portugal: Escola Superior de Artes e Design (ESAD) and Universidade da Beira Interior (UBI),
6. Denmark: Kobenhavns Erhvervsakademi (KEA) and VIA University College (VIA).
X3 This IP will involve guest contributions from different SMEs, such as JSC ?Smiltainis ir Ko? (manufacturing company), JSC ?Audimta? (mobile furniture distributor), JSC ?Eika? (the largest real estate development and construction company in Lithuania), JSC ?Omniteksas? (jersey manufacturer with over 80 years experience) and others. Students will visit local SMEs in order to get practical information on studied topic/s. In this way, we hope to increase the future cooperation between HEIs and involved SMEs.
The intensive programme is multidisciplinary, with students from different study fields such as art (Fashion design, Interior design, Applied photography, Architecture), social sciences (Business management, Advertising management) and technology studies. In the IP the expertise can be combined for the joint effort. Before IP starts, students will do research in their local SMEs and present findings in IP. During the intensive programme a variety of activities will be offered: workshops, group projects, business simulation, lectures, presentations, visits to local SMEs ect.
X4 It concerns tools that will be developed in multicultural groups of students and that will be applicable in all participating countries. Training will be implemented in the respective curricula of each partner institution. Each country has its own experience on the topic, for e.g. in Denmark and Sweden there is a significant focus on ?green? technology and innovation, saving energy and the environment in the construction industry has a high importance. In other countries the situation is different, therefore each country will share their own experience and every year the IP will address issues from all involved EU countries. The IP is an essential part of the curricula in the partner institutions. Participating institutions have these types of courses in their programmes, but this IP has an integrated approach to the topic. This will provide knowledge transfer equally relevant to all participating countries. Therefore, the IP will be offered in three different countries: in Lithuania, Sweden and Portugal.
X5 The IP brings together students and staff members from various disciplines and cultural backgrounds and new ideas can be disseminated throughout Europe by them and also by using web pages and modern communication tools. ICT and modern technology will be used before, during and after the IP. A blog for the IP will be created before IP begins for communication and for creating a sustainable learning environment. This blog will remain active as long as this IP will run. The blog will contain theoretical and practical information on the sustainable design and will be a useful resource for a wider audience. The blog can be used as a source of useful theoretical and practical information for future teaching.
X6 The main aim of the IP is to foster creative, eco/strategic/holistic thinking of students and staff members from various disciplines and cultural backgrounds such as art, social sciences, and technology and to have insight on sustainable design topics from different angles. Topics addressed in the IP?s curriculum also come from different disciplines. It is an important learning aspect for both students and academic staff to develop a transnational-intercultural attitude that enables them to work in an effective way with students and lecturers from different cultures and nationalities.
X7 In the fields of education and training (Table B) Arts (214) and Business studies (34) will play a major part in the IP.
X8 The European Commission recognises the linkages between the uptake of entrepreneurship in the EU and internationally, and believes that European citizens should develop their entrepreneurship skills and knowledge responsibly wherever they operate, in accordance with European values and internationally agreed norms and standards. To review the progress of entrepreneurship in the EU, the Commission at the European Council meeting on 26 March 2010, European Union leaders set out the plan for ?Europe 2020?, a strategy to enhance the competitiveness of the EU and to create more growth and jobs. The strategy concluded that the uptake, implementation and strategic integration of entrepreneurship in European higher education institutions should be further improved. According to the European Alliance for CSR, an important contribution to Europe's future competitiveness and sustainability depends on education taking a leading role in the CSR agenda. By forming this partnership the project supports the goals of the Commission for Entrepreneurship on the level of higher education by transferring knowledge of Entrepreneurship in HEI between partners. The partnership has visible benefits from collaboration of organizations across national borders, including opportunities for sharing best practices, experiences and tools transnationally, and encouraging discussion between students, staff and enterprises. The European higher education structures are being harmonized in the framework of Bologna Process. Nonetheless the national characteristics of the European vocational education systems remain and hence it is beneficial to share best practices and to find common solutions.

Objectives
The general aim of the IP is to share knowledge globally on sustainable design in order to influence strategic (holistic) thinking of students and to offer students and lecturers from six European countries to work together in multicultural groups and benefit from teaching conditions not available in a single institution in a context of problem based and project oriented learning.
The objectives of the IP are as follows:
- to develop knowledge, skills and professional attitude concerning sustainable design,
- to develop the ability to assess their creative, technical and technological solutions for sustainability in the environment (natural and social) context,
- to improve personal and professional capabilities of students to work efficiently in intercultural teams with different nationalities,
- to improve students? entrepreneurial competences.
Target groups:
Direct beneficiaries:
1) Bachelor level students from six European countries from different study fields such as art, social sciences, and technology, in order to improve their personal and professional competences, to develop holistic ?green? thinking and find creative solutions.
2) Academic staff from partner institutions. For lecturers this is an opportunity to exchange good and bad practice, to gain international experiences, to work with experts from different countries and disciplines, and to exchange ideas with representatives from the business world.
3) SMEs. Through this IP the involved HEIs may deliver better trained professionals for the international labour market. Relevant enterprises will be invited to take part in the programme for the students? benefit by introducing good and bad experiences from practice.
4) Secondary School pupils and teachers from hosting country (max. 100 participants). IP students will share gained knowledge with them by organizing a half day seminar on eco design, where
solutions/possible new products or interactions for the business world will be presented by group presentations.
Indirect beneficiaries:
1) Other students and staff members of the HEI?s, because all the IP materials will be available on the IP blog. Moreover, lecturers will share new knowledge, experience and inspiration with students who have not participated in the IP.
2) SMEs and other institutions, because all material related to IP will be published on the IP blog and it can be a useful source.
Main activities
During the project students and lecturers will discuss the current and future situation of sustainable design by looking to the topic from three major angles - economic, social and environmental. Before the intensive course starts, students will get pre-assignments to do research in local companies in order to find out if SMEs actively engage in actions reducing environmental impact. During the intensive programme first of all the students will present their research results and compare each country ?profile?. Second, the students will visit local SMEs that are actively engaged in actions of reducing environmental impacts. Third, theory related to the theme will be provided by international lecturers and representatives from the business world. Fourth, a special simulation game for imitating business process in the fashion industry will be prepared by external experts ? ?Profat? organization. Simulation will create context of two equal-sized countries that have close economic and political relations. Students? companies will operate in the middle sized clothing factory business. Factories will have to compete for reaching the highest profit by managing their scarce resources and gaining revenue. Simulation game will provide the possibility to develop students? skills working in an oligopolic market that models the entire sales process from prospecting and developing relationships. There will be eight session of negotiations to develop special skills to underline objectives and find win-win solutions. By direct communication with other business companies and receiving feedback from market experts, students will increase their negotiation skills, teamwork, productivity, creativity and effectiveness. After completing the intensive course students will get a final assignment ? to organize a half day seminar on eco design for Secondary School pupils. During the seminar students will present their created ideas/products.
The main activities of the IP will be: pre-assignments, lectures, workshops, business simulation, visits to local SMEs, reports, and presentations. Also social programme and catering service will be closely related to eco topic for e.g.: healthy food will be provided and an open air picnic by purchasing food at an eco market will be organized; a tea drinking ceremony will be organized; an eco sauna with Lithuanian traditions will be offered; a hiking or cycling tour will be organized; Aikido open air practical training seminars will be offered.
Learning outcomes
After completion of the IP the students will gain holistic thinking on the topic studied; they will be able to distribute resources rationally and apply rational and creative ideas into practice. Rationality and creativity synergy will provide impulse for effective decisions. The concept of the programme will be mainly experience based. The final presentations will be the concrete assessment. Through the final seminar the students will show what they have learned in an integrated way. This means that in preparing a transnational presentation with other students from different study fields, the students will prove to have: shared and gained knowledge on the subject of sustainable design; transnational skills - being able to work in a productive way in a transnational team with an efficient intercultural dialogue, so the proficiency in international teamwork and multicultural communication will be developed; attitudes - being able to express in a clear way a profound professional opinion on the subject. In addition, the students will be ambassadors of the eco ?movement?.
Expected outputs
Expected outputs of the IP are: reports and presentations based on lectures and company visits. A seminar on eco design for Secondary School pupils will be organized by IP project students. The produced presentations will be presented to all participating HEI?s and other relevant institutions and enterprises. The presentations will also be published on the blog of this IP. Students will present an impression of the programme by giving a personal account on video that will be placed on YouTube and Facebook.

Project website will be available after approval of the IP.

Waste By-products R&D Project (TUBITAK 2011-2013) : Recovery of Metals from Waste By-products of Bayer Process using by Laboratory and Pilot Scales

Bauxite ores also contains strategically important metals such as vanadium and gallium as well as aluminium. Leach solutions and wastes of Bayer process are important source for these metals. However, earlier studies are concentrated essentially on the recovery of metals from leach solutions in that solid wastes received only very limited attention. In Seydişehir Aluminium plant, there is no galyum production and despite its removal from leach solutions as vanadium cake, it is stored as a waste of no economic return due to its relatively low vanadium, but, high impurity content. Within the framework of this project, research and development of environmentally acceptable, technically sound and low-cost chemical leaching and purification/recovery methods are planned for the recovery of valuable metals as vanadium, gallium and aluminium from the wastes of Bayer process. Vanadium cake and electrofiltration dust with a relatively high content of gallium as waste by-products of Bayer process will be used in this project. Physical and chemical characterisation of these wastes will be initially performed to evaluate effects of waste characteristics on selection and evolution of chemical leaching methods. In this project, the studies will focus on acid and base solvent systems and effects of reducing/oxidising reagents. As an alternative to the available methods as solvent extraction and electrolysis, solution purification and metal/compound recovery methods on the basis of selective precipitation are projected to be investigated within the scope of the project. The project was developed in cooperation with university and industry, and involves laboratory and pilot scale R&D studies to turn these wastes into resource for these metals.

The project ?Recovery of Metals from Waste By-products of Bayer Process using by Laboratory and Pilot Scales? (MAG 111M220) supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) is currently underway with the cooperation of Süleyman Demirel University (S.D.Ü) and Karadeniz Technical University (K.T.Ü). It is a 2 years project with a total budget of 186.250 TL. The project team, which is made up of the coordinator (Professor Ata Akçıl), two researchers (Associate Professor Hacı Deveci, Assistant Professor Hasan Çiftçi), an advisor (Dr. Emine Sayilgan) and two scholars (Ayşenur Tuncuk, Demet Okudan), has extensive experience on research and development of hydrometallurgical metal recovery methods and treatment/recycling of wastes.
Within the project works; valuable metals will be recovered from waste by-products allowing utilization of wastes as secondary resources. Furthermore, the project will lead to the development of leaching-based basic-alternative metal recovery processes. Thus, the proposed work is important not only for academic studies but also for the development of technology. A patent application is a target of the project. This proposal for the treatment of wastes of Bayer process for metal recovery is also important for the management of these wastes and for the preservation and effective exploitation of natural resources of Turkey.

Every year thousands of new fluorescent lamp is mounted, almost the same numbers of lamps are disposed of. Furthermore, the questions are increasing regarding to disposal procedures for the waste fluorescent lamps. Considering the high level of population, it?s possible to denote that our country is among the countries consuming large amounts of fluorescent lamps. Because these lamps contain mercury, the disposal or recovery operations should be performed in special designed plants according to related regulation. Whereas, preliminary opinions show that waste fluorescent lamps are mostly landfilling or transmitted to uncontrolled disposal sites. Consequently, it can be evidently realized that pollution occurs with our own money, considering the all types of fluorescent lamps are imported from other countries. It?s appeared to have to recover the waste fluorescent lamps according to existing national regulations. Herein, the main purpose of recovery is both on proper removal of hazardous wastes and the reuse of other sources (glass, metal, phosphorous powder, etc.) in an economical aspect.

The main objective of this project is to investigate the removal and recovery of mercury metal from waste fluorescent lamps on lab-scale employed sequenced methods. The project group consists of 1 coordinator (Associate Professor Gökhan CİVELEKOĞLU), 2 researchers (Assistant Professor Mehmet BEYHAN and Assistant Professor İsmail Serkan ÜNCÜ), 1 advisor (Professor Ata Utku AKÇIL) and 3 grantees (PhD student Sezen COŞKUN and MSc students Meryem ÇİRLENGİÇ and Safinur COŞKUNSU), of those have research projects and academical experiments relevant to disposal and recovery of waste materials. It?s a 2.5 year project with a total budget of 233.000 TL. Within the project, all lab-scale experiments including chemical leaching, cementation/precipitation, photocatalysis and electrolysis/electro-winning tests will be conducted. Using all lab data, the maximum leaching and mercury recovery performances will be obtained both on technical and economic basis. Preliminary design criteria for full-scale applications will be determined. In addition, Basic-alternative process flow charts and waste management plans will be generated.

Within the project works; mercury metal will be removed from the waste fluorescent lamps, final disposal operations will be simplified and the risks related to public health will be minimized. Primacy topics of 21st century include development and using of clean, sustainable, environmental friendly, raw material recovery intended and economically applicable production and consumption technologies. The proposed project contains all these subjects. The findings from this project may be used by private sector. Furthermore the results may lead to planned of full scale application projects on metal and material recovery from waste fluorescent lamps.

E-Waste R&D Project (TUBITAK 2010-2012): Recovery of Metals from Electronic Wastes Using Physical Separation and Hydrometallurgical Processes

Especially in recent years, drastic increase in the production and consumption of electrical-electronic equipments (EEE) has posed waste management problems for end-of-life equipments (known as waste of electrical-electronic equipments (WEEE) or e-waste). E-wastes are hazardous in character containing many harmful organic (flame retardants with chlorine/bromine) and inorganic (Pb, Cd, Hg etc.) materials. In landfill areas, prime source of heavy metal pollution is alleged to be WEEE. Notwithstanding its hazardous nature, WEEE contains appreciable quantities of base (e.g. copper) and, particularly, precious metals (gold, silver and palladium), which makes it potentially a significant secondary source for these metals. Proper management of WEEE is therefore prerequisite for the abatement of its potential environmental impact and the exploitation of its economic potential. In this respect, recycling of electronic wastes (e-wastes) has already become a legal obligation in European Union and developed countries (U.S and Japan). The Turkish Ministry of Environment and Forestry is also preparing a directive for the management of WEEE.

The project ?Recovery of Metals from Electronic Wastes Using Physical Separation and Hydrometallurgical Processes? (MAG 109M111) supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) is currently underway with the cooperation of Karadeniz Technical University (K.T.Ü) and Süleyman Demirel University (S.D.Ü). It is a 2.5-year project with a total budget of 208.000 TL. The project team is composed of Associate Professor Hacı Deveci, Professor Ata Akçıl, Associate Professor İbrahim Alp, Ersin Yazıcı and Rıdvan Yazıcı.

The project will examine the recovery of metals from printed circuit boards that contain a considerable part of metals embodied by e-wastes (>60%). The project aims to research and develop environmentally friendly, low-cost physical separation and hydrometallurgical methods for recovery of metals from e-wastes. Scientific and technological research on recycling of e-wastes is not at a desired level in Turkey and ?technology transfer? or ?research/development? activities are required. Recycling projects/activities in Turkey are essentially limited only to collection, dismantling and storage before selling the waste to recycling companies abroad in EU or Far East. This project is expected to contribute to the development of scientific and technical infrastructure for the recovery of metals from e-wastes and to fill the gap in this respect.
