The effectiveness ofthe use of zeolites in different industrial processes depends on their physical-chemical properties that are distinctly connected to their geological deposits. In this study, major oxides, eco-toxic ...

In this study, content of natural radionuclides (Ra-226. Th-232 and K-40) and radon emanating power and radon mass exhalation rate of surface soil samples collected around industrial province Karabuk in which the first ...

In this study, heavy metal concentrations in agricultural surface soil (0-5 cm) samples collected from the area around the Kangal lignite-fired thermal power plant were determined using energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence ...

Lignite coal (LC) is a key energy source for electricity generation in Turkey. During lignite burning, huge amounts of fly ash (FA), bottom ash and slag are produced as by-products which contain radionuclides in the natural ...

Thermal power plants lead to major environmental problems such as the generation of acid gases and fly ash. Heavy metals contained in fly ash have potential risks for human health and soil and water ecosystems. Therefore, ...

In this research, we studied the techniques for production of CO2 by using non-condensable gas containing CO2 at a rate of 96%, obtained from the condenser of the thermal plant set up at Kizildere Geothermal area. Moreover, ...

Volcanic tuff stones are widely used as coating materials for insulation and/or ornamental purposes in the construction sectors in Turkey. Some volcanic tuff quarries are close to the residential areas, water resources and ...

Yer kabuğunun %60’ını oluşturan feldspat, en önemli mineral gruplarındandır. Magmanın farklı kısımlarında değişik şekillerde bulunan bu minerallerin soğuyup kristalleşmesiyle feldspat zonları ve yatakları oluşmuştur. ...

This study was executed to investigate the acidification and heavy metal (Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb) pollution of Tohma stream flowing near Kangal lignite-fired thermal power plant located in Kangal district of Sivas ...

In this study, the optimum insulation thickness of pipes used in district heating pipeline networks, energy savings over a lifetime of 10 years, and payback periods are calculated for the five different pipe sizes and four ...
