A comprehensive lake sediment study was performed on the Sapanca Lake of Turkey in which certain metal analyses were conducted using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The purpose of the study was to find the enrichment of metals in the surface sediments of Sapanca Lake. A method, namely, the index of geoaccumulation, was used to define the degree of anthropogenic pollution in the Sapanca Lake basin. Results of the geoaccumulation index indicate that only enrichments of trace metals, cadmium, and lead are found.

Modification of a Conventional Anaerobic Digester for Improving the Effluent and Sludge Characteristics Uludag-Demirer, S.; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi; Othman, M. (Wiley, 2009-12-01) The aim of this study was to enrich the composition of anaerobic digester sludge in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus by struvite (MgNH4PO4) formation. Waste activated sludge was anaerobically digested in batch reactors under the conditions that the minimum stoichiometric requirement for struvite formation was satisfied in all reactors. For this purpose, different amounts of magnesium (Mg2+) and phosphate (PO43-) ions were added initially to the batch reactors. The results showed the effects of adding Mg2+ a...
Comparison of TOC concentrations by persulphate UV and high temperature catalytic oxidation techniques in the Marmara and Black Seas Tuğrul, Süleyman (Elsevier BV, 1993-01-01) Total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations were determined in the Marmara Sea and both oxic and anoxic waters of the Black Sea, using the Shimadzu high-temperature catalytic oxidation technique and the Technicon persulphate-UV oxidation method. The TOC values in the deep waters of the Marmara Sea ranged between 60 and 73 μ MC by the Shimadzu technique and from 40 to 50 μMC by the Technicon method. The TOC values obtained by both methods in the deep anoxic waters of the Black Sea varied between 105 and 130 μM...
ORGANIC-CARBON DISTRIBUTION IN THE SURFACE SEDIMENTS OF THE SEA-OF-MARMARA AND ITS CONTROL BY THE INFLOWS FROM ADJACENT WATER MASSES ERGIN, M; BODUR, MN; EDIGER, D; EDIGER, V; YILMAZ, A (Elsevier BV, 1993-02-01) The organic carbon contents and textural composition of a total of 166 surficial sediment samples (from 10 to 1226 m water depths) together with data on primary productivity rates and dissolved oxygen concentrations have been studied to investigate the main controls on the distribution of organic carbon buried within the modern sediments across the Sea of Marmara.
Transport and distribution of nutrients and chlorophyll-a by mesoscale eddies in the northeastern Mediterranean Salihoǧlu, İ; Saydam, C; Baştürk, Ö; Yilmaz, K; Göçmen, D; Hatipoǧlu, E; Yilmaz, A (Elsevier BV, 1990-1) The distribution of nutrient elements and chlorophyll-a in the Northern Levantine Basin (NLB) were investigated in some detail and are discussed together with the physical aspects of the region in the present study. The surface circulation pattern of the NLB was studied and the structure of the relatively large-scale Rhodes cyclonic gyre, which is located between Rhodes and Cyprus, was investigated for the same time period. The most important characteristics of this cyclonic gyre are the upwelling of nutrie...
Trace metal composition of suspended particulate matter in the water column of the Black Sea Yiğiterhan, O; Murray, J W; Tuğrul, Süleyman (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-20) We analyzed the chemical composition of suspended matter from the Black Sea for a complete suite of elements used as tracers for various sources and processes. Samples of suspended matter were collected at four stations from the Bosporus to the center of the western gyre during a R/V Bilim cruise in September 2000. Sample depths were from the oxic surface layer, the suboxic zone and the upper part of the anoxic (sulfidic) layer. All samples were analyzed for Al, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ag, Cd, Ba...
