Application of geothermal energy and its environmental problems in Turkey
(Inderscience Enterprises, 2015-09)
Human beings have been benefiting from geothermal energy for different uses since the dawn of the civilisation in many parts of the world. One of the earliest uses of geothermal energy was for heating and it was used ...
Conceptual model of the Gülbahçe geothermal system, Western Anatolia, Turkey: Based on structural and hydrogeochemical data
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
The Gülbahçe Geothermal Field is located on the eastern margin of the Karaburun Peninsula, about 45 km from the city of İzmir, western Anatolia, Turkey. The stratigraphy of the study area is represented by a Miocene ...
Describing the karst evolution by the exploitation of hydrologic time-series data
(Springer, 2015-07-30)
The importance of the groundwater management of karst aquifers relatively to their complexity requires the knowledge of the subsurface flow and storage behavior. In this study, a methodological approach based on the ...
The health risk associated with chronic diseases in villages with high arsenic levels in drinking water supplies
(Springer, 2017-12)
This study is intended to compare and assess the distribution and possible causes of current chronic diseases in villages with high arsenic levels in drinking water supplies. It is a cross-sectional epidemiological research ...
Generation of acid mine lakes associated with abandoned coal mines in Northwest Turkey
(Springer, 2016-05-01)
A total of five acid mine lakes (AMLs) located in northwest Turkey were investigated using combined isotope, molecular, and geochemical techniques to identify geochemical processes controlling and promoting acid formation. ...
Use of electrospun fiber mats for the remediation of hypersaline geothermal brine
(Desalination Publications, 2017-02)
Geothermal brines display high contents of various metal ions that can adversely affect surface and groundwater resources. Nevertheless, it is possible to sequestrate these metals and use some of them in certain engineering ...
Design of polymeric antiscalants based on functional vinyl monomers for (Fe, Mg) silicates
(American Chemical Society, 2017-08)
Silica/silicate scaling is one of a few detrimental problems that cause high economical loss in the geothermal and petroleum fields. The prevention of silica/silicate has been attempted using antiscalants with functional ...
Prediction of acid mine drainage generation potential of various lithologies using static tests: Etili coal mine (NW Turkey) as a case study
(Springer, 2016-08-01)
The Etili neighborhood in Can County (northwestern Turkey) has large reserves of coal and has been the site of many small- to medium-scale mining operations since the 1980s. Some of these have ceased working while others ...
Quality of groundwater resources in Afghanistan
(Springer, 2017-07)
Water is the main source of energy production and economy in Afghanistan where agriculture accounts for more than 50% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Access to safe drinking water is still a problem in the ...
Blowout mechanism of Alasehir (Turkey) geothermal field and its effects on groundwater chemistry
(Springer, 2017-01)
Anatolia region is one of the most seismically active regions in the world and has a considerably high level of geothermal energy potential. Some of these geothermal resources have been used for power generation and direct ...
