Book Part Application of Nanofiltration for Reclamation and Reuse of Wastewater and Spent Geothermal Fluid(CRC Press, 2023) Jarma, Yakubu A.; Cihanoğlu, Aydın; Güler, Enver; Tomaszewska, Barbara; Kasztelewicz, Aleksandra; Baba, Alper; Kabay, NalanAfter the extraction of energy from the geothermal fluid, the consumed geothermal water can be considered as a potential water resource for agricultural and industrial purposes. The used geothermal water can also be used as a source of drinking water, which could reduce the pressure on the current clean water resources. On the other hand, geothermal fluids brought to the surface need to be treated in the most economical way before discharge into the surface environment or aquifer. Several processes have shown promising results for the treatment of geothermal water. Membrane processes such as nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) can be considered as a technology for obtaining good quality irrigation water from geothermal water. This chapter summarizes the application of NF for the recovery and reuse of wastewater and spent geothermal water. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Abdul Wahab Mohammad, Teow Yeit Haan and Nidal Hidal; individual chapters, the contributors.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Effect of Water Source on Human Health: a Case Study From Biga Peninsula, Turkey(2009) Baba, Alper; Gündüz, OrhanThe concentrations of certain elements including arsenic (As), fluoride (F) and aluminum (AI) were measured in groundwater in the different part of Biga Peninsula which is located in the western parts of Turkey. The concentration values of As and AI in groundwater ranged between 10-40 ppb, 0.5-0.8 ppm and 1-11.5 ppm, respectively, in this region. Al values exceed the Turkish drinking water standard value of 0.2 ppm. Furthermore, As concentration in water from alteration zones exceed the drinking water standard value of 10 ppb. Based on this background, this study was intended to investigate the source of these heavy metals and its neurotoxin effects on human health as many people living in this region have undergone medical treatment, which are believed to be related to the quality of water resources originating from densely altered volcanic rocks.Book Part Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Application of Geophysical Methods in Gulbahce Geothermal Site, Urla-Izmir, Western Anatolia(Taylor & Francis, 2014) Pamukçu, Oya; Gönenç, Tolga; Sındırgı, Petek; Baba, AlperThe western Anatolian region is considered to be one of the most tectonically active, rapidly deforming, and extending areas in the world (Bozkurt 2001; Dewey and Sengor 1979; Jackson and McKenzie 1984; S¸engör et al. 1985; Seyitog˘lu and Scott 1992) (Fig. 14.1). The region is rich with geothermal potential. Systematic geothermal exploration of the region began in 1960s. Medium-and high-temperature fields in and around Izmir city (Fig. 14.1) have been identified. There are a number of district heating systems, greenhouses, and spa complexes commercially utilizing geothermal energy in the region.
