Karahan, Selim; Karademir, Arif
Today, the increase of industry rapidly, water pollution was caused Especially, the pollution of nature with random industrial wastewater were affected all living and non-living organism. For the sollution of this problem, after treatment wastewater were purified by industrial mills used intensive water. The paper mills are also the one of the industries which use the water intensive. In these mills consisted of waste sludge. This sludge is left to nature with backwashing water. It is thought that it contributes to the national economy by evaluating the sludge in the waste way. In this way, waste sludge also by entering recycle will have transformed again a helpful case for both people and nature. In this study, waste sludge obtained from Kahramanmaraş Paper Mill (KMK), which processes wastepaper, was used. After various processes, clay, calcium carbonate, starch, resin etc. Were added to this slurry to produce the material. Then, press was applied to these materials. Then these materials were dried. Finally, laboratory tests were performed for all produced materials. As a result of the tests carried out with the waste sludge added to the wastepaper mixture in the specified ratios; breakage index value and burst index value of 5% of waste sludge participation max. has reached the value. On the other hand, cobb and air permeability values decreased while ash value increased.

Kanık, Mustafa; Alemdag, Selcuk
In this study, excavatability, bearing capacity and permeability characteristics of rock masses along the Gümüştaş Waste Storage Dam II site were evaluated. For the excavations to be carried out to increase the volume of the waste storage area, the excavation classes of the rock masses were determined as “Hammer” for andesitic breccia and “Hammer&Blasting” for andesite. The bearing capacity of andesite (bedrock) has been determined with the help of empirical equations and, allowable bearing capacity and ultimate bearing capacity were calculated as 10.44MPa and 31.07MPa, respectively. The permeability has been assessed by the Lugeon Tests conducted in the geotechnical drill holes located in the andesite and andesitic breccia rock masses and with the aid of the seepage analysis based on the finite element method the bedrock mass has been defined as low permeable. Low permeable rock masses would possibly cause the chemical wastes to be collected in the waste dam reservoir area to pollute the groundwater. To prevent the seepage, impermeable natural clay material of 35-40cm thickness should be laid and compressed along the dam axis and reservoir area. This suggestion was modeled with the aid of the finite element method, for the case that the reservoir area was completely filled with wastewater and, the permeability value was determined as 5x10-11m/s as a result of the seepage analysis. In addition, seepage values in the discharge section at a depth of 10m from the foundation vary between 1.69x10-17m3 /s and 3.44x10-16m3 /s. These values are quite low but, are indicators of a possible seepage. To eliminate this possible seepage, the geotextile materials (geosynthetic clay membrane, Geomembrane, and drainage geocomposite) should be laid over the compressed natural clay layer, and thus mixing of the chemical wastewater, which collected after flotation, into the groundwater will be prevented.

- MakaleAçık Erişim2020Adsorption Of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution with Sulfuric Acid Activated Corn Cobs: Equilibrium, Kinetics, and Thermodynamics Assessment
Baltaci, Cemalettin; Gundogdu, Ali; Duran, Celal; Bozbeyoglu, Pinar
Three adsorbents with different characteristics were produced in this study by activation of sulfuric acid with different concentrations, from corn (Zea mays L.) cobs, which is an agricultural waste by-product resulting from harvesting. After characterization by the parameters such as Boehm titration, determination of pH-pHpzc, and methylene blue – iodine number, and IR analysis, their methylene blue adsorption potentials from aqueous medium were investigated based on equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamics evaluations. This study aims to examine the effects of relatively dilute and concentrated acids on the activation process and to gain an economic value to waste materials through the production of a new adsorbent. It was observed that the initial solution pH did not have a significant effect on the adsorption efficiency. The adsorption process reached the equilibrium at the end of the first 120 minutes, and the kinetic data fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Langmuir adsorption capacity (295.5 mg/g) of the adsorbent produced by activating with 50% sulfuric acid was found higher than those produced with 75% and 98% acids. An increase in ambient temperature effected the adsorption positively. As a result, in this study, very low-cost adsorbents were produced from the waste by-product corn cobs, and a new approach was proposed for cleaning wastewater containing dyestuffs.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Distinct contamination indices for evaluating potentially toxic element levels in stream sediments: a case study of the Harşit Stream (NE Turkey)
Saydam Eker, Çiğdem
This paper revealed that the level of certain potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be reflected in stream and terrace sediments from Harşit Stream in Northeast Turkey. The potential toxicity of these elements was established by determining and interpreting the enrichment factor (EF), contamination index (Pi), ecological risk index (Eri), modified hazard quotient (mHQ), hazard quotient (HQ), and hazard index (HI). The distribution of PTEs in the sediment samples was non-uniform along the different sites of the stream. The change in concentration was attributed to the release of these elements from different sources (agricultural activities, industrial activities, and gasoline discharges). Results indicated that the stream sediments were locally contaminated by the following PTEs: Pb, As, and Cd based on EF values; Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Cd, and Hg based on Pi; Pb, Cd, and Hg based on Eri; and Pb, As, Cd, and Hg based on mHQ. According to the HQ and HI values of Pb, risks were posed to human health especially to children. Meanwhile, terrace sediments were locally contaminated as follows: Zn and As based on EF; Cu, Pb, Zn, As, and Cd based on Pi; and Zn and Cd based on Eri. The HQ and HI values of As were found to be > 1, suggesting a high chance of health risk to children. The PTE levels and the local distribution pattern revealed that agricultural activities, industrial functions, and gas stations along the stream were probable sources of toxic element contamination in sediments from the Harşit Stream. These findings can help evaluate the potential toxicity risks affecting living organisms.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Comparison of sandstone and mudstone with different methods for assessing toxic element contamination in the Early–Middle Jurassic sediments of Gümüşhane (NE Turkey)
Saydam Eker, Çiğdem; Arı, Uğur Volkan
To investigate the vertical changes of toxic elements in Jurassic sediments, sampling was performed in four sites. Samples were collected from sandstones and mudstones/marls and analyzed for some toxic elements (Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Ni and V). Results exhibited that the sediment grain size played a significant role in controlling the concentrations of the toxic elements in the sediments. The mean toxic element contents of mudstones/marls were higher than those of sandstones (except Cu). The contamination level of toxic elements was detected by enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo), potential ecological risk index (Eir), pollution index (Pi) and united pollution index (PIn). The low EF, Igeo, Eir, Pi and PIn for Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, V in the sandstones and Cu, Zn, Ni in the mudstones/marls exhibited an absence of clear these elements pollution. The high EF, Eir, Pi and PIn for As (9.7, 73, 7 and 29, respectively, as mean values) in the sandstones and for As (49.3, 222, 22 and 75, respectively, as mean values) Pb (8.8, 24, 5 and 19, respectively, as mean values), V (8.3, 15, 7 and 39, respectively, as mean values) in the mudstones/marls indicated significant contamination. Additionally, according to the potential ecological risk (RI) values, the sandstones had low potential ecological risk for the toxic elements (RI < 150) and the mudstones/marls had moderate potential ecological risk (150 ≤ RI ≤ 300). The potential ecological risk As, Pb, V (especially As) were higher in urban areas than in agricultural activities. Therefore, the source of As, Pb, V could be gasoline combustion, burning coal and vehicle exhausts. The contents of these elements generally increased from bottom to top of the measured stratigraphic sections, which indicated transported by atmospheric conditions.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2020Cohabitant charophyte algal flora and its ecology in high-mountain lakes of the Artabel Lakes Nature Park (Gumushane, Turkey)
Şahin, Bülent; Akar, Bülent; Barinova, Sophia
The composition of charophyte taxa and their habitat preferences in water bodies of the Artabel Lakes Nature Park were investigated on 15 August 2013 and 13 August 2016. A total of 73 taxa belonging to Conjugatophyceae (Zygnematophyceae) and Klebsormidiophyceae were recorded. The genera Cosmarium (37), Staurastrum (10) and Closterium (7) were most abundant. The partly unexpected presence of certain desmid taxa, i.e., taxa characteristic of eutrophic water, was recorded. Filamentous charophytes were represented by three taxa. The Willis curve for the distribution of species to genera had a trend line of R2 = 0.9123. Bioindication, statistical methods and comparative floristic results show that water in all of the studied lakes was fresh, of low-conductivity, circum-neutral and with little organic pollution. Four groups of lakes were identified as a result of statistical comparison of their environmental and biological variables. Bioindication results can be used as references for future monitoring of the lakes in protection of the species found in the Artabel Lakes Nature Park and can also be included in the National Water Quality Standard System of Turkey.

Yagmur, Nur; Tanik, Aysegul; Tuzcu, Aylin; Musaoglu, Nebiye; Erten, Esra; Bilgilioglu, Baha
Remote sensing data provides great opportunities in various steps of watershed management like characterization of watersheds that bear dynamic structure with large land, monitoring the physical variations within the basin, and conducting various scenario analyses to detect the response of the basin. The high resolution capacity of today’s satellite images enables the production of land use/cover data of a basin in shorter period of time. In this study, it is aimed to demonstrate various aspects of remote sensing technology to be used in watershed management studies. For that purpose, MODIS, Landsat and Sentinel satellite data with different spatial resolutions were used to monitor the surface water bodies in Konya Closed Basin (KCB) of Turkey. In addition, high spatial Worldview-3 satellite data were used to extract detailed information about Akgol Wetland located in KCB. A methodology was developed on the utilization of remote sensing technology consisting of 3 main groups; field surveys, satellite images and ancillary data. In the study, 5 different spectral indices were applied to Sentinel 2 data to determine the areas of surface water bodies. Moreover, Support Vector Machine (SVM) method was applied to Worldview-3 satellite image to classify Akgol Wetland and its vicinity. The importance of establishing watershed information system together with a database reflecting the characteristics of watersheds was underlined. Various examples were given from KCB that is known as the largest closed basin of the country with a surface area of 5.426.480 ha. The basin owns 17 water bodies out of which 2 of them are RAMSAR sites. Within the scope of the study, information obtained from optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite images in the basin were discussed. More accurate results were achieved by Sentinel 2 than MODIS and Landsat data. In addition, detailed information about the wetland were extracted by means of Worldview-3 data and water bodies were monitored in all weather conditions via Sentinel 1 SAR data.

Şahin, Bülent; Akar, Bülent; Barinova, Sophia
For the first time, we studied 18 lakes of the Artabel Lakes Nature Park and revealed 154 species of non-diatoms algae from four taxonomic Divisions. Charophyta (73 taxa) prevails in the flora and mainly represented by the genus Cosmarium (37). Cyanobacteria (42), Chlorophyta (30) and Eunlenozoa (9) are also present. New records for the Turkish algae flora are represented by 31 taxa, most of which belong to Cosmarium (15) and Staurastrum (5). Rare species from benthic cyanobacteria were revealed in communities of the Artabel Lake. Statistical methods revealed a high individuality of the algae communities and divided it into two major group: Acambol–Yıldız, and Beş–Artabel, which belong to different River Basins. The altitude of the lakes appears to be the major environmental variable that controls the non-diatom algal diversity. Bioindication characterized the water of studied lakes as temperate by temperature, middle saturated with oxygen, neutral to low acidic pH, low saline, Class 2–3 of Water Quality and mesotrophic.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Prediction of mine drainage generation potential and the prevention method of the groundwater pollution in the Gümüşköy (Kütahya) mineralization area, NW Turkey
Alemdag, Selcuk; Akaryali, Enver; Gücer, Mehmet Ali
One of the leading factors of seepage contamination is mine drainage, which creates serious ecological risks on the environment both during operation and post-mining times. In this study, experimental processes have been carried out to determine the occurrence of mine drainage in the Gümüşköy (Kütahya) mineralization area (Northwest Turkey). The prevention method for potential mine drainage occurrence has been also discussed. High enrichment was observed which are directly related to mineralization in trace element concentrations, especially in potentially toxic metals such as Ag, Cd, Mo, Ba, Bi, and Zn. Based on short-term tests, mine drainage formation has not been expected according to the pH (7.36–9.38), contact leaching, and acid-base accounting studies. However, in the long-term, acid generation potential has been expected because of weathering and oxidation in terms of rock type and mineralization in the area. Therefore, in order to prevent groundwater contamination in the event of a possible formation of mine drainage, the hydraulic conductivity of the stock area bedrock was evaluated by the in situ tests performed in the field and it was found to be moderately permeable (K= 1.9 × 10−6 m/s). In order to make the stock area bedrock impermeable, natural clay will be laid and compressed at the base of the stock area. When the finite elements were modeled by seepage analysis, the seepage discharge to be formed on the base rock at a depth of 5 m was determined as 3.17 × 10−19 m3/s. Since the discharge value determined in the seepage analysis after modeling is very close to zero, contamination of possible ground and surface water will be prevented.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2020Assessment of acid mine drainage formation using geochemical and static tests in mutki (Bitlis, se Turkey) mineralization area
Gücer, Mehmet Ali; Alemdağ, Selçuk; Akaryali, Enver
In this study, geochemical analyses, as well as short-term contact leaching and acid-base accounting tests, were carried out to determine the occurrence of acid mine drainage (AMD) by static tests in the ore stockpile areas at the Mutki Cu-Fe-Cr deposit (Bitlis, SE Turkey). According to the short-term contact leaching tests, the high enrichment in trace element concentrations in ore-bearing samples, especially in potentially toxic metals such as Cr, Cu, Mn, and Zn, were directly related to sulphide and oxide mineralizations. The pH (3.27–4.05) values of water samples, together with the classification of the intracontinental water resources, indicated that the water quality is the fourth class. Leaching tests, paste pH (3.42–4.46) and sulphide-sulphur (3.9–13.4 wt%) values also suggested that there was AMD production potential in the mineralization area. The AMD production potential was supported by the high mobility of several elements, such as Fe, Mg, Cr, As, Cu, S, and Zn. In ore samples, net neutralization potential (NNP) and net potential ratio (NPR) values were less than –20 kg CaCO3 /t and 1, respectively. The basalts forming the basement rock of the stockpile area were characterized by permeable to slightly permeable properties that potentially increase the contamination risk of the groundwater due to seepage in the stockpile area. In order to prevent seepage in the stock area, geomembrane (synthetic waterproofing covers) should be laid at the base to ensure impermeability. The improvements planned in the stock area were modeled by the finite element method and seepage discharges at a depth of 5 m were determined as 1.34 × 10–17m3/s. Thanks to these planned applications, surface and groundwater pollution can be efficiently prevented.
- MakaleYalnız künye2020Medium scale earthflow susceptibility modelling by remote sensing and geographical information systems based multivariate statistics approach: an example from Northeastern Turkey
Dağ, Serhat; Akgün, Aykut; Kaya, Ayberk; Alemdağ, Selçuk; Bostancı, Hasan Tahsin
The aim of the present study was to produce an earthflow susceptibility map for the city center and environs of the province of Rize located at the Northeastern part of Turkey. The study area is the rainiest region of Turkey, and due to the triggering effect of precipitation earthflows are frequently observed in and around the study area. Besides this point, weathered rock units and steep topography accompany with precipitation for the occurrence of earthflow cases. Considering this point, an earthflow susceptibility mapping was inferred to be a necessity for the area. Parameters, such as lithology, slope gradient, slope aspect, topographical wetness index (TWI), stream power index (SPI), slope curvature, and sediment capacity index (LS) were considered to be earthflow conditioning parameters. A multi-temporal earthflow inventory map for a period of 4 years (2011–2015) was initially generated by way of remote sensing approach and field surveys. Earthflow susceptibility map was produced using the logistic regression method after which the produced susceptibility map was validated. The mapped earthflows were separated into two groups prior to modelling and validation. The first group was for training and the second group was for validation steps. The accuracy of the model was measured by fitting them to a validation set of mapped earthflows. Area under curvature (AUC) approach was applied for validation purposes. The prediction capability of the earthflow susceptibility map produced can be regarded as acceptable in accordance with the AUC values of 0.62 for the logistic regression model. Based on these results, the obtained earthflow susceptibility map can be used to mitigate hazards related to landslides and to aid in land-use planning for the Rize city center.

Karabıdak, Salih M.; Kaya, A.; Kaya, S.
Water; it is the basic necessity of living things that exist in the world like air and food. An adult person consumes an average of 2 L of water per day by drinking. This consumed water contains a number of radionuclides. For this reason, it is important to determine the effect of these radionuclides on human biological structure. In studies up to now, researchers calculate activity concentrations of radionuclides in drinking water and calculate annual equivalent doses based on these activity concentrations. However, it is always overlooked that this consumption is constant in calculations. This results in the inability of drinking water to fully determine the effect on human health. In this study, a new and comprehensive perspective was introduced in the gamma analysis of drinking water. This viewpoint includes the activity concentration, the annual equivalent dose, lifetime average annual dose, and lifetime cancer risk assessment depending on age groups. Thus, it is aimed that the radionuclides present in water can make more reliable calculations on affecting human health and water cleaning in terms of radiation. The proposed model was applied to some drinking water sources in Gümüşhane. We found out that the obtained values of annual effective dose equivalent in all samples do not exceed the WHO recommended levels. The risk of cumulative cancer at the end of the 70th year of a person using these drinking water sources has been about determined as 1 in 100,000. Positive correlations were obtained between 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K concentrations versus pH. In addition, a negative correlation was obtained 40K concentration with conductivity.

Doğal kaynakların kullanımı ile ilgili işlemlerin başında gelen madencilik faaliyetleri, işletmenin türüne ve büyüklüğüne bağlı olarak farklı boyutlarda gelişen çevresel etkilere ve bozulmalara neden olmaktadır. Bu etkilerin başında, madencilik faaliyetleri sırasında ve sonrasında ciddi ekolojik riskler oluşturan Asit Maden Drenajı (AMD) gelmektedir. AMD, sülfür içeren (özellikle pirit, pirotin ve kalkopirit) cevher atıkların, tipik olarak hava (oksijen) ve su içeren ortamlarda, yeraltı suyu, yağmur ve akıntı nedeniyle oksitleyici koşullara maruz kalması sonucu meydana gelen asit oluşumunu ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Gümüştaş Madenciliğe ait işletme sahası, cevher stok ve atık depolama alanlarında AMD oluşumunu belirlemeye yönelik işlemler yapılmış ve AMD gelişme potansiyeli ile muhtemel AMD gelişmesi durumunda alınacak tedbirler ortaya konmuştur. Maden işletme alanı, Eosen yaşlı andezit ve bazalt ile bu kayaçların piroklastitlerinden oluşan Alibaba Formasyonu içerisinde yer almaktadır. Yapılan çalışmalarda pH değerleri tüm örneklerin I. sınıf kıta içi kaynak suyu özelliğinde olduğunu, macun pH ve sülfid (S-2) değerleri ise maden işletme sahasında AMD potansiyelinin bulunmadığına işaret etmektedir. Ana ve iz elementlerin düşük mobiliteye sahip olması ise bu durumu destekler niteliktedir. Tüm örneklerde Net Nötralizasyon Potansiyeli (NNP) değerlerinin 20 kg CaCO3/ton’dan ve Nötralizasyon Potansiyel Oranı (NPO) değerlerinin 2’den büyük olması da potansiyel asit üretmeyen karakterde olduğunu göstermektedir. S-2 değerlerinin çok düşük olması, söz konusu alanda kısa dönem içerisinde asit kaya drenajı potansiyeli gerçekleşmeyeceğini işaret etmektedir. Buna ek olarak, stok sahasını geçirimsiz hale getirmek için 50 cm kalınlığında geçirimsiz kil serilerek sıkıştırılmış, oluşan düşey profil sonlu eleman ağ sisteminde modellenerek su deşarjları belirlenmiştir. Yapılan tüm çalışmalar neticesinde maden işletme sahasında kısa sürede AMD oluşumu beklenmediği sonucuna varılmıştır. Ancak, maden işletme alanında, uzun sürelerde muhtemel AMD oluşumundan kaynaklanacak çevre kirliliği, yapılan çalışma kapsamında alınacak tedbirlerle önlenmiş olacaktır.

Hazelnut husk (HH), an agricultural waste, was converted to carbonaceous material by chemical activation using potassium acetate. The produced activated carbon (KAHHAC) was characterized by FTIR, SEM, N2 adsorption–desorption experiments, CHN elemental analysis, and determination of moisture, ash, and point of zero charge. KAHHAC was used for the batch adsorption of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Optimum pH and contact time were found to be 5.0 and 240 minutes, respectively. The adsorption equilibrium data were described well by the Langmuir equation providing 105.3 mg g−1 Cu(II) adsorption capacity. The pseudo-second-order model successfully described the kinetic of Cu(II) adsorption by KAHHAC. The adsorbed Cu(II) onto KAHHAC was completely desorbed by 0.5 M nitric acid. In conclusion, HH activated carbon (AC) produced by the potassium acetate activation method is a very useful and efficient sorbent material for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution.

Başoğlu, Aysel; Ocak, Ümmühan; Fandakli, Seda; Yayli, Nurettin
A simple, rapid, sensitive, and low-cost spectrofluorometric method was developed for the determination of Au(III) using 5-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (L) in ethanol/water. The method is based on the change in the fluorescence intensity at 464 nm after excitation at 355 nm as a result of the reaction between the ligand and Au(III). The fluorescent emission of ligand at 464 nm decreased with the increasing of Au(III) concentration. The ligand concentration, pH effect, response time, and effect of foreign ions were determined. From the results of fluorescence titration experiments, it was found that the ligand (1 × 10−7 M) was selective and sensitive to Au(III) in EtOH-H2 O (1:1, v/v, phthalate buffer, pH 4.0). The calibration curve showed good linearity in the concentration range of 17.4–237.6 µg L−1 Au(III). The limits of detection and quantification were 5.2 and 17.4 µg L−1 Au(III) with a response time of 1 min, respectively. Satisfactory accuracy was obtained for standard reference material (CRM-SA-C Sandy Soil C). The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of Au(III) in tap water, sea water, and stream water samples, and high levels of recovery were obtained.

In this work, it was investigated the usability of artificial bee colony (ABC) and genetic algorithm (GA) in modeling adsorption of Co(II) onto drinking water treatment sludge (DWTS). DWTS, obtained as inevitable byproduct at the end of drinking water treatment stages, was used as an adsorbent without any physical or chemical pre-treatment in the adsorption experiments. Firstly, DWTS was characterized employing various analytical procedures such as elemental, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, XRD, XRF and TGA/DTA analysis. Then, adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch system and DWTS's Co(II) removal potential was modelled via ABC and GA methods considering the effects of certain experimental parameters (initial pH, contact time, initial Co(II) concentration, DWTS dosage) called as the input parameters. The accuracy of ABC and GA method was determined and these methods were applied to four different functions: quadratic, exponential, linear and power. Some statistical indices (sum square error, root mean square error, mean absolute error, average relative error, and determination coefficient) were used to evaluate the performance of these models. The ABC and GA method with quadratic forms obtained better prediction. As a result, it was shown ABC and GA can be used optimization of the regression function coefficients in modeling adsorption experiments.

Saka, Fatih; Yüksek, Omer
In many of water engineering studies, it is necessary to determine the amount of water or the probability of discharge at a certain value. However, current discharge measurements are limited and located in discharge gauging stations (DGS). Flow duration curves (FDC) belonging to each DGS can be obtained, but it is necessary to estimate discharge values of the areas having no or insufficient discharge data. For this purpose, studies based on the regionalization of discharge values can be applied. In this study, discharge values of 39 DGS located on Eastern Black Sea Basin in Turkey, and temperature and precipitation of weather stations in the region have been obtained. Drainage areas have been determined. Total annual precipitation and temperature values of DGS have been obtained by using Thiessen method. Values having 20%, 30%, 50%, and 90% exceedance probabilities of annual FDC, have also been correlated with basin characteristics using 10-year average daily discharges. Drainage area, drainage density and mean slope of tributary values were chosen as topographic; and mean annual precipitation height and annual temperature values chosen as climatic parameters. As a result, in the ungauged areas, 20%, 30%, 50%, and 90% exceedance probabilities of annual FDC have been estimated by some basin properties and the results were examined.
