Environmental impacts of a proposed natural gas-fired power plant was assessed by coupling an atmospheric deposition model with a soil acidification model. Long-term and short-term impacts of atmospheric dispersion and deposition of pollutants, especially NO(x), on the quality of air were estimated within the local scale using a short term dispersion model. The long-term soil response to acid deposition was simulated by a model which predicts the number of years required to reach critical soil pH values.

A geochemical equilibrium modeling approach to assessing soil acidification impacts due to depositions of industrial air emissions Ünlü, Kahraman; Soyupak, S; Yurteri, C (1999-07-01) Soil acidification impacts arising from depositions of industrial air emissions may become a serious environmental concern. Currently, in the literature quantitative mechanistic modeling and the experimental acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) approach and a qualitative evaluation approach classifying soils into various levels of sensitivity to acid additions have been reported to assess the long-term soil acidification impacts due to industrial air emissions. Another alternative quantitative approach proposed...
An integrated seismic hazard framework for liquefaction triggering assessment of earthfill dams' foundation soils Ünsal Oral, Sevinç; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Within the confines of this study, seismic soil liquefaction triggering potential of a dam foundation is assessed within an integrated probabilistic seismic hazard assessment framework. More specifically, the scheme presented hereby directly integrates effective stress-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering assessment with seismic hazard analysis framework, supported by an illustrative case. The proposed methodology successively, i) processes the discrete stages of probabilistic seismic hazard workflow ...
Assessment of soil acidification due to a natural gas-fired power plant by using two different approaches Soyupak, S; Yurteri, C; Mukhallalati, L; Kilic, B; Kayin, S; Onder, K (Informa UK Limited, 1996-01-01) Potential soil acidification impacts of a proposed natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant were assessed using an integrated approach coupling an atmospheric deposition model with soil acidification quantification. The deposition model was used to estimate the rates of nitrogen oxide (NOx) deposition on the air-soil boundary. The expected changes in the soil column were then predicted by utilizing mechanistic and experimental methods, and the number of years required to reach critical pH values were pr...
A COMPARATIVE-EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES FOR ASSESSING SOIL ACIDIFICATION IMPACTS SOYUPAK, S; KILIC, B; MUKHALLALATI, L; YURTERI, C (Informa UK Limited, 1993-01-01) Long-term impacts of acidic depositions on soils can be predicted with coupled applications of acid deposition models and approaches to assess soil acidification. Soil acidification assessment can be achieved by using the following approaches: (i) Mechanistic modelling (ii) Experimental acid buffering capacity (ABC) method (iii) Qualitative evaluations The mechanistic modelling approach adopted in this study utilises predicted acid deposition rates and soil properties as well as dominant soil mechanisms inc...
A study of the relative dominance of selected anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria in a continuous bioreactor by fluorescence in situ hybridization İçgen, Bülent; Harrıson, S.T.L. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01) The diversity and the community structure of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in an anaerobic continuous bioreactor used for treatment of a sulfate-containing wastewater were investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Hybridization to the 16S rRNA probe EUB338 for the domain Bacteria was performed, followed by a nonsense probe NON338 as a control for nonspecific staining. Sulfate-reducing consortia were identified by using five nominally genus-specific probes (SRB129 for Desulfobacter, SRB221 for De...
