Dereliction of land by mining activities within the broad range of dereliction caused by other industrial and human activities was examined. Special attention was paid to impacts, mitigation, and costs thereof. Mine reclamation was examined in detail with special reference to professional interpretations. Mine reclamation bonding was studied with reference to environmental management planning so as to contribute to a forthcoming regulation concerning exactly these matters by providing a detailed listing of mining operations to be geared toward mine reclamation in Turkey̕s conditions and by providing key concepts in the inception of a draft regulation concerning mine reclamation as part of the EU accession program.

Production of heavy-media-quality magnetite concentrate from Kesikköprü iron ore tailings Güngör, Kazım; Atalay, M Ümit; Department of Mining Engineering (2010) The aim of this research was to investigate the possibility of the production of a magnetite concentrate which is suitable for preparation of heavy media from iron ore tailings of Güncem Mining Company magnetic separation facility. During the study, three different tailings named as low grade, medium grade and high grade with 5.91 % Fe3O4, 19.06 % Fe3O4 and 37.06 % Fe3O4, respectively, were used. Mineralogical analyses of test samples showed that magnetite and hematite were the major ore minerals while pyri...
Investigation into the effect of meteorological parameters on the airborne dust concentration at Ovacık open pit gold mine Esenkaya, Ercan; Bilgin, Hasan Aydın; Department of Mining Engineering (2004) In this thesis, it is aimed to investigate and analyze the effect of meteorological conditions on airborne dust measured at Ovacik Open Pit Gold Mine. Meteorological data must be sound and reliable which are used mainly to design an air model to predict the effect of industrial sites on air quality during production. Wind speed, wind direction, airtemperature, air pressure, relative humidity, rainfall, evaporation and sunshine. are the parameters investigated in this study. In the thesis, the meteorological...
Mining Issues and Advancements in Turkey Towards Sustainability Demirel, Nuray (null; SIPS 2014; 2014-07-04) Turkey, as one of the earliest permanently settled regions in the world, is a country where the mining industry dates back to 10000 B.C. Since it occupies the significant portion of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, it benefits from a highly varied geology. It is the tenth ranked producer of minerals in the world in terms of diversity. Around 77 different minerals exist and 60 of them are currently exploited economically. Mining represents approximately 4 per cent of Turkey's GDP. In recent years, the val...
Characterization and description of a mine reserve with geostatistical methods in Karakartal field Taç, Mutlu; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan; Department of Geological Engineering (2013) The Karakartal mining exploration field is located in Eastern Anotalia, close to Erzincan-Kemaliye. The field is an important metallic mining exploration area with high potential of Copper and Gold production. In this study, characterization of the mineral deposition are analyzed using geostatistical techniques. Subaşı Volcanics, Keban Metamorphics and Munzur Limestone are the basic geologic units in the mining area. The variations of chemical parameters with depth were examined. Descriptive statistics, are...
Surface coal mine area monitoring using multi-temporal high-resolution satellite imagery Demirel, Nuray; Duzgun, H. Sebnem (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-01) Surface mining activities, exploitation of ore and stripping and dumping overburden, cause changes on the land cover and land use of the mine area. Sustainable mining requires continuous monitoring of these changes to identify the long-term impacts of mining on environment and land cover to provide essential safety measures. In this sense, digital image classification provides a powerful tool to obtain a rigorous data and hence diminishes the essence of time-consuming and costly field measurements. There ar...
