The Menemen-Aliaga-Foca region on the northwestern Aegean coast of Turkey near Izmir, is under the influence of air emissions originating from various industrial establishments. In this article, the long-term acidification impacts of these industrial emissions on the agricultural and forest soils of the region were studied by using qualitative and quantitative soil acidification assessment approaches. The relevant characteristics of the regional soils were determined experimentally and the number of years required to reach certain critical soil pH levels were estimated. Predictions were also made regarding the improvements expected in the future when the existing industries comply with the emission standards stipulated by the currently effective legislation.

Estimation of upcoming problems in Alaşehir geothermal field using a numerical reservoir model Aydin, Hakki; Akın, Serhat (2021-04-01) Alaehir geothermal area located in Alaehir Graben, West Anatolia, is the latest target for geothermal field development in Turkey. Seven different operators are developing the power capacity in this geothermal field on a strictly competitive and largely confidential basis without the significant exchange of resource information among them. Currently, eleven binary and combined flash-binary geothermal power plants with widely changing power generation efficiency between plants produce from the same reservoir...
Thermal Modeling and Verification of PV Module Temperature and Energy Yield Using Outdoor Measurements for Ankara, Turkey Tuncel, Bilge; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; ÖZDEN, TALAT; Balog, Robert S (2018-11-14) Ankara is in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey where the climate is dry-continental with an annual solar insolation of around 1750 kWh/m(2). In the transition to renewable energy, detailed analyses are required to ensure effective and economic utilization of the available solar resource. An essential part of these analyses is to calculate expected energy yield. For photovoltaic (PV) systems, this includes the effect of temperature on the PV efficiency, which determines the power yield of the PV modules....
Chemical composition of precipitation near an industrial area at Izmir Turkey Idrees F, Al-Momani; OYavuz, Ataman; Mohammad A, Anwari; TUNCEL, SEMRA; Cevdet, Köse; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (1995-05-01) Wet and dry deposition samples were collected near an industrial area on the Aegean coast of Turkey. Concentrations of major ions (Cl-, SO4(2-), NO3-, H+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and NH4+) were determined. The pH of the precipitation, calculated from the volume weighted H+ concentration, was found to be 5.6, indicating extensive neutralization of the acidity in the rain. Neutralization was found to be a local process. The main base responsible for the neutralization of acidity was NH3 from fertilizer used in t...
Evaluation of Groundwater Storage changes at Konya Closed Basin Turkey using GRACE based and in situ measurements Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (null; 2016-04-17) The Konya Closed Basin (KCB) located in Central Anatolia, Turkey, is the primary grain producer in Turkey. The lack of sufficient surface water resources and recently changing crop patterns have led to over-exploitation of groundwater resources and resulted in significant drop in groundwater levels. For this reason monitoring of the groundwater storage change in this region is critical to understand the potential of the current water resources and to devise effective water management strategies to avoid fur...
Evaluation of microplastics removal efficiency at a wastewater treatment plant discharging to the Sea of Marmara Vardar, Suat; Onay, Turgut T.; Demirel, Burak; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2021-11-15) Levels, composition and fate of microplastics (MPs) were investigated along different compartments of a secondary wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with nutrient removal on the northern Sea of Marmara coast (Istanbul, Turkey). When all samples were combined, fibers were found to be the most dominant particles, followed by hard fragments. 500–1000 μm and 1000–2000 μm were the most common size ranges for wastewater and sludge, respectively. Rate of removal differed for sizes and shapes of the particles combin...
