The chemical characteristics of rainfall and its seasonal variation at the EMEP (The Cooperative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-Range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe) station located in Cubuk, Ankara were studied for the period between September 1994 and December 1996. The station is located in a rural area about 50 km north of Ankara and is considered as a background station for air pollution. The rainwater samples collected were analyzed for pH, major ions concentrations and conductivity.

Chemical composition of precipitation at different parts of Turkey Ayaklı, Gül; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014) In this study major ion composition of rain water samples collected at General Directorate of Meteorology Antalya, Balıkesir and Trabzon rain sampling stations were analyzed. The major ions SO42-, NO3-, NH4+, Cl-, Ca2+, K+ and Na+ were analyzed by ion chromatography. Data generated in these stations are compared to evaluate how chemical composition of rainwater changes as air masses travel on the Anatolian plateau. Data also demonstrate how rainwater composition varies seasonally at different parts of Turke...
Composition of atmosphere at the Central Anatolia Yörük, Ebru; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2004) Concentrations of elements and ions measured in samples collected between February 1993 and December 2000 at a rural site in central Anatolia were investigated to evaluate the chemical composition of atmosphere at central Anatolia, to determine pollution level of the region, to study temporal variability of the pollutants and to investigate the sources and source regions of air pollutants in the region. Level of pollution at central Anatolia was found to be lower than the pollution level at other European c...
Measurement of gas phase pollutants and aerosols at a mountainous site Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Ozer, U (1998-09-30) Gas phase pollutants (O-3, NOx and SO2) suspended particulate matter (SPM), and major ions in aerosols were measured for 12 month period at a mountainous site of northwestern Turkey which is suffering from severe forest decline. Gaseous pollutants, SPM and meteorological parameters were measured in hourly basis with automated analyzers. Aerosol samples were collected daily. The long and short term trends in the concentrations of the measured parameters were investigated in order to understand the causes of ...
Thermal characterization and gasification kinetics of thrace-saray region coal Yıldırım, Betül; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2015) In this thesis being up as-received and washed and dried, two different coal samples from Saray-Edirkoy field were experimented in order to determine effects of different variables as coal type, heating rate, gas flow rate, isothermal duration, gasifying medium, and final gasification temperature, on isothermal gasification profiles of the coal samples. In the scope of this study, heating rate was changed in the range of 20-50oC/min as 20, 30, 40 and 50oC/min whereas two different gas flow rate values as 60...
Chemical composition of Eastern Black Sea aerosol-Preliminary results BALCILAR, İLKER; Zararsız, Abdullah; Kalaycı, Yusuf; DOĞAN, GÜRAY; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2014-08-01) Trace element composition of atmospheric particles collected at a high altitude site on the Eastern Black Sea coast of Turkey was investigated to understand atmospheric transport of pollutants to this semi-closed basin. Aerosol samples were collected at a timber-storage area, which is operated by the General Directorate of Forestry. The site is situated at a rural area and is approximately 50 km to the Black Sea coast and 200 km to the Georgia border of Turkey. Coarse (PM2.5-10) and fine (PM2.5) aerosol sam...
