The main objectives of this study are determining grey and blue water footprints and identifying the hotspots of the carbon in pulp (CIP) gold processing using water footprint assessment (WFA). Results revealed that the total blue water footprint, including the extraction and processing of the gold, was found 452.40 m3/kg Au, and the grey WF 2300.69 m3/kg Au. On the direct blue WF side the lost return flow has the largest contribution, with a value of 260.61 m3/kg Au, and the only source of the lost return flow is the tailing pond. On the indirect side, it is seen that the oxygen consumption used for the leaching process has the highest value, with 37.38 m3/kg. For the grey water footprint, the critical component is by far arsenic among the nine contaminants in the mine tailings, with a value of 1777 m3/kg Au. The results will be used to make recommendations for reducing water consumption in mining operations and to develop sustainable design for environment. The study is a pioneering study, being the first implementation of water footprint assessment in gold mining in Turkey.

Water recycling and reuse in soft drink/beverage industry: A case study for sustainable industrial water management in Turkey
Alkaya, Emrah; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2015-11-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate water conservation and reuse opportunities in a soft drink/beverage manufacturing company. Water use analysis and benchmarking were carried out to determine the areas and processes where significant water saving potential is present. Based on evaluations, water recycling and reuse practices were realized in cooling systems. As a result of applying these practices, the total specific cooling water demand of the company was reduced from 14.4 to 1.2 m(3)/m(3) product or...
Water footprint assessment of mining and processing of gold
Güney, Emre; Demirel, Nuray; Department of Mining Engineering (2022-1-3)
Water management in mining industry has strategic importance due to the increasing water scarcity. Water Footprint Assessment (WFA) is a systematic way that provides an assessment of sustainable water management from multiple perspectives. The main objective of this study is to analyse the water footprint of mining and processing of gold and identifying hotspots of carbon in pulp (CIP) gold processing using WFA and life cycle assessment (LCA). In this study, after determining the goal and scope, data was co...
Water Footprint Assessment of Carbon in Pulp Gold Processing in Turkey
Guney, Emre; Demirel, Nuray (2021-08-01)
This paper presents water the footprint assessment (WFA) of carbon in pulp (CIP) gold processing. The main objectives of the study are determining grey and blue water footprints and identifying the hotspots of the process. Results revealed that the total blue water footprint, including the extraction and processing of the gold, was found to be 452.40 m(3)/kg Au, and the grey WF to be 2300.69 m(3)/kg Au. According to the results, the lost return flow on the direct blue WF side has the largest contribution, w...
Geostatistical analysis of bathing water quality in Turkey
Doğan, Nazlı Barçın; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad; Department of Environmental Engineering (2019)
In this study geostatistical methods were applied to critically analyze historical bathing water quality (BWQ) data available for Turkish coastal areas. The specific objective of this study is the determination of the critical bathing sites of Turkey. In order to determine the critical bathing sites, a geostatistical method called indicator kriging is used via ArcGIS. Indicator kriging was applied using three microbial BWQ parameters, namely total coliforms (TC), fecal coliforms (FC) and fecal streptococci ...
Water quality trend analysis in Eymir Lake, Ankara
YENİLMEZ, Firdes; KESKİN, Fatih; Aksoy, Ayşegül (2011-01-01)
In this study, trends in selected water quality parameters in Eymir Lake over a period of 10 years are analyzed using the Mann-Kendall test. Analyzed water quality parameters are dissolved oxygen (DO), total phosphorus (TP), total suspended solids (TSS), and secchi depth (SD). In addition, trends in the yearly averages of precipitation, lake volume, and ambient temperature are examined. According to Mann-Kendall test results, precipitation, volume and ambient temperature values exhibit decreasing trends in ...
