Çatak, Mert Onursal
The purpose of the study is to characterize the hydrogeological conditions at the Alpu Coal Mine Exploration Site which is located in the Eskisehir Province in Turkey. This is required to provide baseline hydrogeological information before environmental impact assessment of the planned mining operations can be done. The characterization studies included hydrogeological and hydrochemical analysis of groundwater and surface water. The spatial and temporal variations in groundwater levels are determined by measuring the groundwater levels in drilled observation and pumping wells. The hydraulic parameters of the groundwater system are estimated by conducting aquifer tests in some of the wells. The hydrochemical characteristics of the waters are based upon measured field water quality parameters and chemical analyses of the samples taken at periodic intervals from both surface and groundwater.

Stability analyses of the dump site culvert in Tınaz surface mine
Özcan, Ömer Can; Ünal, Erdal; Department of Mining Engineering (2003)
In this thesis, studies associated with the stability analyses of the box-shaped dump-site culvert constructed in Tınaz Surface Mine of Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKİ) are presented. In addition, stability conditions of other culvert alternatives are evaluated. Existence of creeks in a surface mining area is a significant factor to be considered in selection of dump-site location. Since, the dumped overburden material on the valley acts as a barrier and behaves like a dam causing flood problem behind the dum...
Hydrogeological characterization of the northern part of the Kışladağ gold mine area
Fırat, Egemen; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2013)
The purpose of this study is to characterize the hydrogeological conditions at the northern part of the Kışladağ Gold Mine located in Uşak Province in the West of Turkey. Because of the planned mining activities in the area, it is essential to characterize the system in order to assess the impacts of mining operations on surface and groundwater systems. The characterization studies included the hydrological, hydrogeological, and hydrochemical analysis of surface and groundwater. Hereby, the relevant measure...
Assessment of dewatering requirements for Çaldağ nickel mine in Western Turkey
Cankara, Çiğdem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2011)
The purpose of this study is to assess the dewatering requirements of planned open pit nickel mining at Çaldağ Site in Western Turkey. Dewatering is required for safe and efficient working conditions and pit wall stability. With this scope, a groundwater model of the study area is developed and used to predict the dewatering rate. The methodology mainly involves data collection, site hydrogeologic characterization and development of conceptual model, followed by construction and use of a groundwater model t...
Monitoring and statistical modelling of dust concentration of some Turkish lignites under laboratory conditions
Karakaş, Ahmet; Güyagüler, Tevfik; Department of Mining Engineering (2010)
Although technological developments enable maximum safety, high dust formation is still a crucial problem in coal mining sector. This study is aimed to investigate the relationship between amount of coal dust produced during cutting operation and some important coal properties together with cutting parameters for different particle size ranges in laboratory conditions. For this purpose, six Turkish lignite samples were used in the experiments. Two experiment sets were designed to generate coal dust by using...
