Article Sustainable Recovery of Critical Raw Materials From Geothermal Igneous Systems: Geochemical, Mineralogical, and Techno-Economic Insights from the Dikili-Bergama Field (Western Anatolia, Turkiye)(Elsevier, 2026) Ayzit, Tolga; Baba, AlperThe sustainable co-extraction of critical raw materials (CRMs) with renewable geothermal energy offers a dual pathway to support the circular economy and low-carbon transition. In this study, an integrated geochemical and mineralogical approach is used to comprehensively assess the recoverable lithium (Li) boron (B), strontium (Sr) and other critical raw materials in the geothermal reservoirs of the Dikili-Bergama region Turkiye. A geochemical analysis was carried out by systematic sampling and multi-element testing of geothermal water and reservoir rock. Hydrogeochemical studies of the geothermal fluids indicated the presence of remarkable concentrations of B (4.6 ppm), Sr (2.8 ppm) and Li (1.2 ppm), suggesting the possibility of active leaching processes in the deposit. Mineralogical studies using X-ray diffraction (XRD) have revealed a number of secondary mineral phases, such as quartz and labradorite, indicating the interaction between water and rock. These interactions affect not only the permeability and porosity of the deposit, but also the mobilization and precipitation of CRMs. A techno-economic analysis will be used to identify potential synergies that could improve the economic feasibility of geothermal projects in the region. The Monte Carlo simulation has shown that the Dikili-Bergama geothermal reservoirs have a potential of similar to 712 tons of Li. In this study, the CRM potential that emerged during the geothermal energy exploitation process in the region was calculated. The temporality and the process of obtaining are completely related to the extraction technology. This offers the dual benefit of renewable energy and strategic mineral extraction, contributing to sustainable resource management in volcanic environments.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Antimicrobial Edible Films of Emerging Hydrocolloids Extracted From Food Processing Waste(Elsevier, 2025) Yemenicioğlu, A.; Gözde Seval, S.; Pelin, B.K.; Elif, Ç.; Miray, B.This chapter aims to review recent major developments related to antimicrobial edible packaging based on emerging hydrocolloids extracted from food processing wastes. The chapter consists of antimicrobial packaging examples of the most promising emerging hydrocolloids extracted from processing wastes. The major hydrocolloids discussed include fish and poultry gelatins, mushroom, insect, and snail chitosans, oilseed meal proteins (e.g., proteins from meals of quinoa, flaxseed, hazelnut, cottonseed, sunflower, rapeseed, etc.), citrus alternative pectins (e.g., apple, watermelon, mango, passion fruit, and fig pectins), and nonconventional starches (e.g., banana and taro peel starches, pineapple stem starches, avocado, jackfruit, sugar palm, loquat, and mango seed starches, etc.). A particular emphasis has been put on packaging incorporating natural phenolic antimicrobials that are also mostly extracted from waste. Therefore, a rich content was prepared for those who are interested in developing novel sustainable antimicrobial packaging that contributes to the circular economy and global problems such as climate change and food security. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
