Öğe Effectiveness of fly ash in boron removal from Tuzla (Çanakkale) geothermal fluid(Yıldız Technical University, 2021) Şahin, Mehmet Oğuzhan; Bektaş, Tijen Ennil; Şanlıyüksel Yücel, DenizThe heat accumulated in the inner parts of the earth's crust is transmitted to the fluid in the geothermal aquifer by means of transportation. The geothermal fluid is transported to the surface either by wells or naturally. In this study, the geothermal fluid in Tuzla geothermal field in Çanakkale city was examined due to its high boron content (10.3 mg L-1). It was aimed to remove boron from geothermal fluid by adsorption in order to prevent possible negative effects on the environment. Fly ash was obtained from Çan thermal power plant. The specific surface area of the fly ash was 14.6 m2 g-1 and the particle size was between 1.45 and 186 µm. According to ASTM C618 standard, fly ash was classified as Class C. Fly ash was composed of anhydrite, lime, hematite, cristobalite, quartz, calcite and feldspar. Various parameters such as initial pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and temperature were studied experimentally for the removal of boron from the geothermal fluid. The suitability of pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle kinetic models to experimental data was examined. The data obtained from the isotherm studies were applied to the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models.Öğe Determining the geochemical characteristics of geothermal resources and generating a geothermal information system of thermal waters in Biga Peninsula, NW Turkey(Amer Chemical Soc, 2013) Şanlıyüksel Yücel, Deniz; Yücel, Ali Mehmet; Karaca, Zeki; Çetiner, Ziya S.; Erenoğlu, Ramazan Cüneyt; Akçay, Özgün; Kamacı, Celal; Çalışkan, HidayetÖğe UAV-based RGB and TIR imaging for geothermal monitoring: a case study at Kestanbol geothermal field, Northwestern Turkey(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Yücel, Mehmet Ali; Şanlıyüksel Yücel, DenizKestanbol is one of the most important geothermal fields in NW Turkey. This study conducted the first-ever surveys over a 10 ha reach of the Kestanbol geothermal field using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with visible (RGB) and thermal infrared (TIR) cameras. Low-altitude flights below 40 m above the ground were operated above the Kestanbol geothermal field. Approximately 3500 RGB and TIR images were captured using the UAV. We recorded high-resolution RGB and TIR data of the Kestanbol geothermal field and applied the structure from motion (SfM) algorithm to identify the distribution of geothermal springs and seeps. The Kestanbol geothermal field was monitored to create a georeferenced RGB orthophoto, RGB 3D surface model, thermal anomaly map, and digital surface model (DSM) of the area with centimeter-level accuracy. In the TIR orthophoto, the surface temperature in the geothermal field was found to be between 15 and 75 °C. All the thermal anomalies revealed by the survey were verified by field observations. The geothermal springs and seeps were parallel to the NE–SW regional tectonic trends. The results of this study demonstrate an effective technique for monitoring and assessing geothermal water using UAV-based RGB and TIR imaging and provide an accurate basis for geothermal development projects. RGB and TIR imaging using UAVs are considered promising methods for improving the assessment of the effects of geothermal water on the environment.Öğe Digital image processing (DIP) application on the evaluation of iron-rich heavy mineral concentrates produced from river sand using a sequential mineral processing approach(Oficyna Wydawnicza Politechniki Wroclawskiej, 2021) Terzi, Mert; Kurşun Ünver, Ilgın; Çınar, Mustafa; Özdemir, OrhanIn this study, the iron-rich heavy mineral concentrate production from river sand as a byproduct of an alternative resource by gravity, magnetic separation, and flotation methods were investigated in detail. For the physical separation of the sample and increasing the Fe2O3 content, a shaking table and a wet high-intensity magnetic separator were used, respectively. The gravity and magnetic separation experiments included rougher, cleaner, and scavenger circuits. In the flotation experiments, cationic flotation with ethylenediamine under acidic conditions, and anionic flotation with sodium oleate under alkaline conditions were performed. The iron and silica content of the products obtained were determined by digital image processing (DIP) methods and compared with the classical analytical procedures. Finally, a flow chart was proposed for the processing of the ore according to the optimum enrichment parameters were determined from the experiments. The results obtained in this study show that it is possible to produce an iron-rich heavy mineral concentrate with Fe2O3 grade and recovery rate of 79.13% and 57.81%, respectively, in addition to a potential feed for the production of quartz sand and feldspar concentrates.Öğe Hydrogeochemical and isotopic monitoring of the Kestanbol geothermal field (Northwestern Turkey) and its relationship with seismic activity(TUBİTAK, 2021) Şanliyüksel Yücel, Deniz; Özden, Süha; Marmara, HarikaKestanbol geothermal field is located in northwestern Turkey and is one of the highest temperature geothermal fields in the Biga Peninsula. In this study, one geothermal well, two geothermal springs, and two cold springs were monitored for one year in Kestanbol geothermal field to determine hydrogeochemical and isotopic characteristics. Additionally, any possible relationship between seismic activity and variations in the hydrochemistry of geothermal water was investigated. The Kestanbol geothermal field is controlled mainly by the right-lateral strike-slip Kaplıca fault with normal components. The distribution of the geothermal waters is roughly parallel to the fault. The temperature, electrical conductivity, salinity, and pH value of the geothermal waters were within the range of 59.5 to 74.6 °C, 30300 to 35700 μS/cm, 19.6 to 23.3‰ and 6.13 to 6.83, respectively. The temperature interval was from 11.2 to 25.4 °C for cold waters. The hydrochemical facies of the geothermal waters were Na-Cl type, and the cold waters were Ca-HCO3-Cl type. The high concentrations of As, Ba, Fe, Li, and Mn in geothermal waters were mainly derived from prolonged water-rock interactions under high-temperature conditions. The δ18O and δ2H contents of cold waters indicated meteoric origin. The geothermal waters were enriched in δ18O and δ2H and located on the mixing line between local groundwater and fossil seawater, indicating mixing processes. During our study period, 20 earthquakes with Mw 3.5 and above were recorded in the close surroundings of the Kestanbol geothermal field, and temporal variations in the physicochemical and chemical compositions of geothermal waters were observed. Concentrations Cl- of the geothermal waters exhibited decrease after the Tartışık-Ayvacık earthquake (Mw = 5.0), indicating more supplement of groundwater with shallow origin under the increase of tectonic stress.
