The largest boron reserves in the world are located in Turkey. The production of boron compounds and use of generated boron derivative waste during this production are extremely important for both economically and environmentally. This study evaluates boron derivative waste and investigates doping effects of heat-treated boron derivative wastes on mineralogical, microstructural, and mechanical properties of cement mortar. The waste, portland cement, and wastes heat-treated at temperatures of 400-900 degrees C are characterized. The cement is partially replaced with heat-treated wastes at 800 and 900 degrees C in weight ratios of 15, 25, and 35%. Compression tests are conducted for all mortars and proximate strength value to reference mortar is obtained with the incorporation of waste heat-treated at 800 degrees C by the 25% ratio. From a strength point of view, thermally processed waste is practical for use in the production of cement mortar at 25% by weight.

Use of perlite as a pozzolanic addition in producing blended cements
Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Akgül, Çağla; Tokyay, Mustafa; Erdogan, Turhan Y (2007-01-01)
There are similar to 6700 million tons of perlite reserves in the world and two thirds of this amount takes place in Turkey. Although perlite possesses pozzolanic properties, it has not been so far used in producing blended cements. This study focuses on the use of natural perlites in blended cement production. For this purpose, after examining the suitability of the perlites as pozzolans and their case of grindability, 16 types of blended cements having 320 m(2)/kg or 370 m(2)/kg Blaine fineness were produ...
Polyethylene oxide-induced flocculation of dolomite/clay/borax-containing suspensions
Çırak, Mustafa; Hoşten, Çetin; Department of Mining Engineering (2014)
Kırka borax formation in Turkey is the largest borate deposit in the world. However, this important boron mineral is associated with significant amount of dolomite and clay gangue. When the run-of-mine ore is processed via simple crushing/washing/scrubbing methods, these gangues are discharged from the concentrator in the form of a stable colloidal suspension. The resultant dolomite/clay/borax-containing tailing creates a critical bottleneck threatening safe and sustainable borax production. To analyze this...
Geological Considerations for the Economic Evaluation of Turkish Oil Shale Deposits and Their Combustion-Pyrolysis Behavior
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
The oil shale deposits in Turkey are widely distributed in middle and western Anatolia. Turkish oil shales are of Palaeocene-Eocene and middle upper Miocene age. Current reserves of oil shales are approximately 2,220 million tons (total reserve) and mainly are located in Himmetoglu, Seyitomer, Beypazari, and Hatildag deposits. Some petrological, geochemical, Fisher Assay, and fluidized combustion tests are performed for these oil shale fields, and it was concluded that Himmetoglu oil shale is the most appro...
A review of plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems of Turkey
Çevik, Cem ; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Tavşanoğlu, Ülkü Nihan ; Kankılıç, Gökben Başaran ; Gündoğdu, Sedat (2021-12-01)
Turkey is one of the major plastic pollution sources in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. This review summarizes present information, data, and legislation on plastic pollution in Turkish aquatic ecosystems. According to results derived from reviewed studies, both macro- and microplastic pollutions were documented in Turkish aquatic ecosystems. Most of the studies on plastic pollution in Turkish waters were performed in the marine environment while only four were conducted in freshwater environments. Spa...
Coiled Tubing Acid Stimulation of Alasehir Geothermal Field Turkey
Akın, Serhat; Yazman, Metin; Karadağ, Mahmut; Seçkin, Cemil; Tonguç, Erinç; Gürel, Emrah; Yarım, Harun (null; 2015-04-26)
Alaşehir geothermal area located in Alaşehir Graben, West Anatolia – Turkey is the current target for geothermal field development. Currently, more than 6 operators are developing the power capacity in this field on a strictly competitive, and largely confidential, basis without significant exchange of resource information among them. Although there are three binary and a combined flash-binary power plants with widely changing power generation efficiency between plants, additional new plant capacity will be...
